SMOT: I know others have thought of this

[mramos]

My first question on this.  Has anyone used the magnet model program to see where something like this stops?
I am sure all the SMOT people have had this thought.

The drawing is crude, but you get the idea I am sure.  And another thought was extend the arm and a second steel wheel 180 degrees away.  It falling while the other is being SMOT up into the air.

Gravity to drop the wheel, SMOT to sent it up.

Just a thought and I am sure those would be custom magnet.

It is like a SMOT ferris wheel, more wheels and more small C shaped magnet.
