Finsrud's Perpetuum Mobile

[AnandAadhar]

Nice I like it it looks good.

Here is my finished, Finsrud's PMD 3-D replication.

Curious if anyone who downloaded it, modified or improved upon it? Please if so upload them, I am, very, interested in seeing them!

Great job! Is there also an animation or 3d  manipulable file to study your design from all sides?
I'm not sure what that green cogwheel thing at picture six would be in Finsrud's machine...
And what do you think would be the magnetic arrangement inside in the base?

That is something I'm building. I am using several ideas combined to achieve my goal, hopefully. I'm personally very surprised, no one has used magnets in this array. Which gets both the simulated mono pole effect of a V gate.  As well as the counter push and pull,(non-single pole drive) to weaken the gates sticky point(lock). Making the lock no longer ten times, plus, stronger than the gates push, but instead, far, weaker than it.  While keeping the simulated monopole effect that drives(and locks) the movement. While at the same time increasing the drive force.
Making the lock point calibrate-able. Weakening to lock, or if overdone relocating, the lock. So that 11 armatures pushing the 1 can be far stronger than the lock. Instead of just strong enough, to move it. Also to get those degrees, wider then the flux field. It had to be 8 foot around, not good enough. Breath could stop it, unless....You could calibrate the lock, without weakening the drive. Then I figured out how.
Moving it out of the lock range, is useless. Because you must use more energy to move it out of range. Then more to put it back and more keep it there. Which is equal to or more than it would take to just push through the lock. Even though it is 7-15 times stronger then the drive. Depending on the the degree it opens within the length of the gate. After so much, the drive weakens. So Calibrating the lock is the only way to overcome it. Without going very, very large. To make sure there are no two armatures, are in a lock's field at the same time. While keeping the degree separating to achieve The same drive at all 12 points. At all times.
Then Just for fun add a overbalance and use Finsrud's design to till it as it moves, as well as some other use of springs, pendulums, & a few other ideas. Of which I have never seen any of these ideas I have, even partly combined. If even thought of, to hopefully make a beautiful, working, work of art. I'll tell more if anyone can guess what I mean, with my vague riddle like statements.
