I am not hopeful with this one.
Energy can be "free" but the mother Nature would not be that generous.

circles are fun
you can go all the way around them
and end up right where you began....


anyways.....   
the next thing we need to do after gate transition
is introduce an angle.


This can be done in several ways, but the easiest two methods
are to angle the gate
or to angle the track at a point outside the field.


both tasks can introduce additional problems
which we will discuss the ins and outs of.


The latter is simple, change in angular momentum can
introduce frictional losses which quickly become undesirable.
a ball moving in a linear fashion, hits a curved track and can slow down.
therefore we want to limit the angle of curvature, or use gravity to bring
the ball around the angle and into the next subsequent track.


If the angle is too acute, the ball passes through a secondary low-potential
point at the gate-end closest to the curved part of the track.


gravity can be just as detrimental as it is beneficial, because of the inherent
increase in magnetic field strength. most situations will result in a drop in
gravitational potential, leaving the ball lower than the beginning of the track.
With 'just the right' incline through the gate, and drop in exit-track, the ball
can be curved around to enter the next gate at a different angle than the first.
baby steps: gate-curve-gate-curve, with the ball going up through the gate and
down around the curve.


In this methodology, the track portion that initiated the change in angle must be
sufficiently long so as to leave the effective field.






The first medthod, where we angle the gates themselves, instead of the track,
contains its own set of problems.
field compression becomes assymetric on one side of the gate.
namely the inside of the curve.
there is a subsequent expansion of the field on the side of the gate outside of
the curve.


This will be the demonstration in the next videos of the series.

And I would imagine if you have a true Gain....

every "lap" should add to the speed..


Side note RE recent non ferrous and "other" magnetizing

can you start a separate dedicated thread [some investigations and "theories" are in the wind]
{Big Brain scratching}

or specify where you wish to keep "that" topic [PMH ?

respectfully

@chet


I started that topic in an already existing PMH thread
rather than opening a new one.

In terms of lap-gain
A gated track generally maintains a consistent velocity.
Entering the linear gate with too much speed, the rotor magnet
will usually slow down accordingly.


However, in a looped-actuator, lap-gain does occur.
Which is invariably catastrophic.

@smOky2,

Surely you've seen the "Finsrud Machine"; It looks like Finsrud may have slowed the ball down through a combination of swinging pendulums and horseshoe magnets:
