Magnetic Continuous rolling wheel

[Nink]

The setup does work Don't knock it.I have made one. HERE IS THE PUNCH LINE.  Your fingers HAVE to be on the magnet all the time and by doing that there is some little movement needed to keep the ball spinning on the one side of the wheel  I am sure that some smart person will figure out a spring assisted setup for the magnet where the magnet does not need a human hand in the picture.  That person could become very rich.

Notice the split track the ball is in. The axle connects the two halfs of the split track together as one unit.  Now figure a spring attached to the balls center point through that split track. The weight of the ball still is downwards.  The other end of the spring would be attached to a fixed point in a straight line with the heavy ball but not attached to the setup wheel  Food for thought. Might not even need the magnet then??

I agree someone can input an external force to move a metal ball with a magnet, but if that external force is removed, neither the magnet or the metal ball will move. Your idea of adding a "spring" that can automatically move the magnet to move the ball will quickly reach an equilibrium and your metal ball will stop moving. 

If you honestly still believe it will work as a perpetual motion machine, since you have already built one why don't you add your spring and become as you say "very rich"

I thought this was going to be Tk's video with the ball bearing going around the track.

I`m sure Tk will post a link to that video for anyone that hasn't seen it yet.

You mean this one?

Yup, that's the one, was there a follow up video where you showed what was under the plastic container with a circuit diagram?

NO NO. THE SECOND VIDEO WAS A FAKE.  IT REALLY DOES WORK!
The men in black came along and made TK post the second video to cover up his discovery of perpetual motion. You can't fool me...

With most all of my experiments if they don't work they wind up taken apart and put into my 200 pound
Can where I trash failed experiments.  The above was one of them I had put a lot of time looking into.
You are correct by saying as soon as the spring reaches its limits the weight of the ball will be on it and not the wheels inside.  Thus the wheel will not spin.  Not worth looking at again unless someone has a better idea.
