Hi Buzneg

Been looking at this design and others and struggling still with your pictures.

Can you draw the circles/disks that the ramp magnets will be mounted on to give a bit more of an illustration. Sort of idiots guide to your idea.

Sorry for not getting it straight away but the idea is in your head and not so simple for thickos lke me LOL  .

Regards

Sean.

It appears to be much like a minota wheel but the magnets face up and not out... BUT I don't understand how the fulcrum moves still.

this is another above view. This isn't the same as my other idea but it works on the same theory-principle.

The red dot's are fixed magnets on a surface that's also fixed. they're evenly spaced, and rize up at you as you go from the top/long end to the bottom/short end. the bar has magnets or just metal on it, on each end. Only the bar a the pivote it's on rotate, and the bar slides through the pivot as it shortens to follow the magnetic hill.

Bingo!

I managed to understand your explanation on this setup except this last sentence:

Only the bar a the pivote it's on rotate, and the bar slides through the pivot as it shortens to follow the magnetic hill.

Would you supply what is missing (is it an 'and' after the word bar?) and my question is how the bar would escape from the raw of the magnets?  Also: what distance would the bar cover by sliding through the pivot? Could you sign that distance with two small lines in your picture or even better it would be if you could favor us to draw a second picture showing the other (end) position of the bar with respect to the pivot and the surface?
One more question: the pivot has no mechanical connection with the surface, right?

Thanks,
