The Lee-Tseung Lead Out Theory

Professor A: “I got this WBLT device design and description from one of my former students.  He wanted me to evaluate the device.”
Professor B: “This WBLT device claims to solve the Energy Crisis and provides Transportation capabilities to outer space at the same time.  The inventors claim that they have presented to Tsinghua University and plans to have it as presents to the Chief Executive of Hong Kong, Presidents of China and USA.”
Professor C: “In its present form, it can jump up and down.  It can jerk forwards when placed horizontally.”
Professor A: “I want to see the experimental result of the WBLT reducing in weight when the magnetic balls pass through the Coil.  This appears easy to accomplish with some modification of the existing device.”
Professor B: “The Tong device on the video can jump up a few mm.  I want to see whether we can improve it to jump a few cm.”
Professor D: “I want to see in a double device configuration, the second device can increase the jumping height,”
Professor C: “I want to see whether a single horizontal jerk can move the device more than 10 cm.  If the results on our suggested improvements are positive and can be verified in our laboratories, I would recommend serious scientific investigation.”
Dr. Raymond Ting: “No problem.  I shall provide the video, the coils and the description.  Make sure someone can replicate the results.”

At least three groups are doing the following experiment.

The purpose is to find a configuration that will make the Tong device jump the highest with magnetic repulsion only.


Here are the descriptions for the various components:
1.   is a hard surface for collision between the permanent magnet 3 and the transparent tube 2
2.   is the transparent tube that demonstrates the motion of the permanent magnet 3
3.   is the permanent magnet attached to a plastic tube 4
4.   is the plastic tube so that the position of the permanent magnet 3 can be adjusted to be just above the coil 5
5.   is the coil to accept DC current so that magnetic repulsion can be produced

This experiment is to determine the greatest height the device can jump.  The device will also be place horizontally to show how far it can move on a smooth surface.

In the step-by-step process, we shall show the video and the various results before the next experiment.  We shall have three or more videos from the various independent teams.

Hmm tseung, I think hans's pogo stick example still is valid. You need something to push off at the beginning. I ASSUME if you remove the table then you'll see newton's third law in action having the tube go down and the magnet go up and the final Center Of Mass remain in the same position. I'm still eagerly waiting on the sustained levitation. I guess at that point further discussion would be useless too.

Btw, wasn't the BBQ yesterday? I'm too lazy to check back.

What a momentous waste of time and resources!

This second experiment is to find the best configuration that can achieve the greatest jumping height with magnetic attraction alone.

Preliminary experiments indicate that the jumping height is greater than that achieved via magnetic repulsion.  The explanation is that with magnetic repulsion, the distance between the permanent magnet and the coil increases.  The resulting force will rapidly decrease with distance.  In the case of attraction, the resulting force rapidly increases with decreasing distance.  The maximum velocity achieved by the permanent magnet is much higher.

In addition, we do not need the collision surface.  The permanent magnet will be attracted back.  The resulting change in momentum will force up the device.  The design is much simpler without the collision.

This experiment will also be repeated with the device placed horizontally.
