Mechanical Lever to get pass sticky point

[Low-Q]

If magnets are correctly arranged, it should be possible to jump the sticky spot.  See this video:

Can somebody 'refine' it?

This visio is fake. Busted many years ago. It loops approx every 1 second for a while before the video continue as normal when the magnet stops.

I don't know what drives this. With no back emf this runs surprizingly smooth. Why is this motor located so close to the edge? Why doesn't it bounce around? Why not lift it up to prove nothing under the table runs it with magnetic coupling?

Using gravity to drive a magnetic assembly in this manner IS possible.
It, however, requires a lot of precision and an appropriate magnetic-gravitational
proportionality.


To understand this, you have to look at it in terms of vertical lift, vs
horizontal displacement.


When repulsion is primarily in the vertical domain, 'lift' occurs, as the magnetism
is counteracting against gravity.


When the repulsion is more horizontal, downward gravitational force can create a
horizontal translation.


The difference between these two actions is where the energy comes from.
How much energy?
In an ideal state, it is equal to the combined magnetic repulsion force -9.8m/s/s
In actuality, our designs operate at less than this value.


why?
Because in a vertical-lift scenario gravity subtracts from the magnetic repulsion.
In a horizontal translation, we have the full repulsion force.
gravity in the horizontal case pushes the magnet, which repels the rotor.


The test-bed i designed for adjusting the parameters of the Archer Quinn device
is a good tool for determining the magnetic repulsion vs gravity proportion.
Basically a vertical slide (rod/tube/linear bearing/etc) with one of the magnets
attached to the bottom.
The other magnet of the repelling pair is placed under it.
You can then adjust the two magnets by distance and add/subtract weight to the
magnet being lifted.
From this you can develop a mass-vs-distance scale for your magnet pair.
Every pair of magnets is slightly different, so if you require similar forces in your
design, you may need to test a lot of magnets and select the ones that are the closest


Two important things to reiterate


When the magnets do work against gravity, the repulsion should be mostly vertical


When gravity does work against the magnets, the repulsion should be mostly horizontal.


And a word of warning: use caution with this, because when you have the parameters
correct for it to run, using the difference between gravity and magnetism,
it will not run at a constant rpm, but continue to increase until it destroys itself.
Which is very dangerous, in fact, becomes increasingly dangerous the stronger you
construct the device.
It is best to start with low-strength materials, that will break apart with little force.
the slower it is spinning when it breaks, the less chance is seriously injuring yourself
or others, and causing damage to your home.

Imagination and intuition does not help. Physics do things we do not want it to do, and therefor, you cannot force a device like this to work continously, or absolutely not accelerate, just by using imagination and intuition.


Quite frakly, nature does not care about our imaginations. It does what it is created to do. Conserve energy ;-)


Vidar

I don't see any evidence, that nature would like to conserve energy. Nature wants to have things in equilibrium. If you disturb that, nature will go to extreme lengths to equalize that. Conservation of energy is just a property of energy. Energy conservation is used by free energy debunkers to "prove" that free energy does not exist. They want to steer the debate into an area where energy is created from nothing. In reality we are just trying to dip a bucket to an ocean. Nature will fill the hole that the bucket made.

What I mean with the use of intuition and imagination is that do not take anything for a "Natural Law" that some white dude wrote 200 years ago. We have moved from experimentation to theoretical physics and proving things just by solving mathematical equations. We can see how this is going towards total bullshit just because people can't admit that they might be wrong OR that their demi-god master jedi might have been wrong. Now we are adding Dark Mater AND the new addition Dark Energy into equations, because we can't explain what is happening otherwise. We are using virtual particles and "cosmological constants" and the reason is "I had to add that or it does n't make any sense".

I am not saying that Einstein was wrong in everything or that Newton was just crazy. What I'm saying is that we need to take few steps back every time we find out that our equations need a new virtual element or reality does not make sense. Science is turning into archaeology where professors hide new evidence or deny any new findings. The Sphinx is 4511y old and there is no water erosion! It is the tomb of Khufu!
