Hi All,

Check out the below.

This is the latest mod I am working on.   Getting close.  Tom

This is where I am right now.

The runner is almost ready to go over the centerpoint by the repel force of the fixed magnet.  All I have to do now is shorten the balance beam somewhat to allow the fixed magnets to rest on the baseboard so I can secure them. Thats once I find the spot for them that allows this device to work. 

Yes - the two 5 pound magnets you see are in a repel mode right now. The stop wedges you see are to keep the magnets from accidentily rolling away and damaging my wifes new table.  She would kill me if she saw this setup on it.  It was the best illuminated spot in the house for a photo and she missed seeing this creation. Oh well.

If I pushed the fixed magnet any closer to the runner it will roll down on the other side of center.

I have not yet been able to center balance the runner magnet which is a good thing.

Also notice how close the balance beam is to the baseboard.  The higher you raise the beam the harder it is for the fixed magnets to push the runner upwards on the beam.

You will have to experiment with whatever you are using if you try this.
