SeeSaw smot ramp

[CLaNZeR]

Has anyone tried a seesaw Smot Ramp?

Excuse the rubbish picture, but easier to try draw than explain.

Basically a balanced SeeSaw with a smot ramp, as the ball gets to the end of the ramp, the ramp tilts with the weight and the cogs move the smot magnets so the ball once again goes back up.

I await you skillfull chaps to blow it out of the water again, but hey I gotta keep trying LOL!!

Very interesting. Have you come across the "Hamster cage" wheel idea? Try this variant on your idea:

Hello CLaNZeR,

the idea is good. I was thinking about it last year, too.

But working is not possible because the attraction of the magnets at the end of the SMOT is too big. The cogs cannot move (break off) the ends of the magnets by help of the ball's low weight only.

@Paul
Funny enough I was looking at that hamster cage over the weekend, still trying to get my head around the concept. I think in the design shown that the magnet in the cage would slip on the bearings and maybe coating the rolling bearings with rubber would help.
Interesting one though and good idea.

@Peter

Can see what you mean about pulling the magnets apart at the end.

So what about!!! using a turn table to move a number of metal balls around.
The ramp would be weighted at one end and the Steel ball would be heavier than the weight.
The ball rolls up the ramp, the SeeSaw tilts and turns the turn table.
The ball falls of the end of the ramp and the weight takes the ramp back down.

There would need to be a release latch that only turns the turn table when the SeeSaw is tilted forward but not on the reverse.

Again sorry about the rubbish graphics attached!
