SMOT

This is also the reason for harnessing the ball(s) with an axis.... the track becomes a guideline rather than a rule.  If the ball MUST roll to produce the effect, then by all means leave it (the track) in so that the ball can roll.

An OU measurement system has been developed which directly measures the amount of energy creation for each pass through a Prometheus Effect OU gate. The Prometheus Effect is what is at the heart of the SMOT device. Details can be found at:

Now it's just engineering effort, time and money,
Prometheus Effect

[Kysmett]

here is an idea.  I understand that the drop is needed to escape the magnetic field.  To that end and to continue the concept of a central axle, I propose the following modification.  This was inspired by one of those carnivale octopus rides.
Here is a picture of the device that would show this.  It would have many hinged arms, only one of which is illustrated. The track design is to graduate the ascent and to soften the descent, while adding to the forward momentum of the rotor.  The section of the track(round when seen from above) that is shown is a side view of that transition region.  The rotor is kept by its own weight and the limit of travel of the hinge(shown in green) firmly on the track.  If there is a tendancy for the wheel/ball to come off the track due to momentum at the point of transition, a spring sufficient to the task may be placed between the arm(shown in orange) and the power take-off or main shaft(shown in blue).  Any and all torque measurements can be then taken on the main shaft. 
Let me know what you think.

Kysmett,
sorry, but I don?t understandyour drawing.
What should it exacty show ?
Is this a sideview or a top view of what ?
Where is magnets track and the ball ?

Regards, Stefan.

The drawing is a side view of the device.  There is a central, verticle shaft(blue) powered by wheels(grey) as they move around the track.  The verticle displacement of the uneven track is compensated for by the hinges(green) that attach the arms to the central shaft. 

The single line in the lower right section is a side view of the track at the moment of transition, if the wheel were moving from right to left.  I don't know why but I can only see this thing moving clockwise when viewed from above.  This might have something to do with something I have forgotten I have read or it might not. 

I am posting here a top view of the device so that you can see the track and the device as a whole.  The magnet placement is as has been previously demonstrated to work and the centrifugal force is compensated for by the arms shown in orange in the previous post. 

In the drawing I am posting here, there are four arms, more could be made to work(or less) but this is only conceptual.
