Working SMOT ramp from Tom Ferko ?

Hi,

I am cutting 1 inch square dowel rods at 45 degree diagonals.  One end is hot glued to the inside wood channel the ring magnets will travel through.  The other ends of the dowel rods will be hot glued to a similar wood strip. 

I am making 2 of these setups to use on either side of the ring magnet run channel.

The wood magnet spacers will be layed out like this:  Wood spacer- magnet- wood spacer- magnet- ect and so on.    I will have to cover the top of all apon with clear plastic after completing. My cylinder looking  rod magnets will not pop out of the little "boxes" they are now in when the ring magnet passes by.     Tom

Hi all,

Jason,

Standby as I will make a movie of the stagger track working and post it after the holidays.    So far everything is working out as expected.          Tom

Hi Tom,

Does your roller magnet experience any back force as it enters or exits the stagger track?

Happy Holidays to you too

God Bless,
