Building a self looping "SMOT"

Hi Happyfunball I sent you a link in a PM, have you seen it ?

Hi Happyfunball I sent you a link in a PM, have you seen it ?

Yes thanks.

Have you tried any sort of magnetic shielding?

[elecar]

Yes thanks.

Have you tried any sort of magnetic shielding?

Not shielding as such but I have used steel bars to help with shaping.

Wrong. It can't "clearly drop" and I've seen it many times. Do you think this is the first SMOT we've seen here? The first time even that that design variant has been shown?

Go on, show it dropping, if you can, and repeating the cycle without outside help. I say you cannot.

Why not? What possible reason is there for not showing the complete cycle with the thing running along all by itself over and over?

What reason, other than the fact that it is physically impossible, I mean?

If you look at my pendulum that drops from 2 oclock and rises to noon you can see that
magnets and gravity can work together to assist each other. But in Elecar's setup he escapes via the switch where my pendulum was fastened to the axle and could not escape and repeat.

Oh and enough of the ego stuff please. I'm here to learn and don't have time to waste on
useless bickering.

Norman I am with you 100% and it is only TK I have a problem with, you have seen how he talks to people. I mean he did not even show enough respect to read the thread before he came charging in like a bull in a china shop.

Anyhow I believe the "high road low road effect is probably the way to get some work from the ramp.
