Hi,

I dont think giving every red cent to charity is a cop out.

Hi Mramos,

I did manage to catch and release a few trout.  Enjoyed my vacation in the wild.  Wish I could have stayed longer.

A note about the motor device:  I did not sign anything that gives a company full possession of this idea.  It will always be open for anyone interested in taking it to the next level of a self runner with no human contact.

If you decide to give it a try you will find yourself playing with it for hours on end. I actually wore out a thumbwheel ratchet!   


If made correctly the HEAVY magnet on the wooden arm you saw in the movie should ALWAYS "Center position itself between the two large magnets on the turntable". All polaritys are in the repel mode.  Then just tilt the center axle a bit and the magnet arm swings downward /forward and the fun begins. 

I know the "WEIGHT" of the arm magnet is always leaning on the large turntable magnet in "FRONT" of it.  The arm magnet weight force spins the turntable around and the other large turntable magnet "BEHIND" the swinging arm pushes the arm forward again all at the same time. This starts the whole process over again.  Really neat to do and see.

Now--- If one can do all that with the center shaft in a vertical position they have jumped the hoop into making this a self runner.  Believe me I have tried out many ideas to do just that to no avail.  By the way- IF THE CENTER AXLE DEVICE WITH ATTACHED MAGNET ARM MAKES ANY CONTACT WHATSOEVER WITH THE SPINNING TURNTABLE ALL ACTION CEASES. The only contact the axle and arm assembly should make with the turntable is where the bottom pointed tip of the axle meets the center point of the turntable. You are just pinch finger holding the top ratchet end of the tilted axle.

Remember that this device apparently runs on weight/gravity and all repel magnets act like springs keeping eveything spaced apart.
