SMOT OU?

[crazyman]

Listen, you MORON , ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
You are the most retarded idiot I?ve ever seen,
You are so STUPID that you think that?s a closed loop .
RETARD.

Listen, you moron, don't you ever dare to attack me, idiot. You are incompetent and your place isn't here to abuse people who are really interested and competent to discuss research in this important area. Enough is enough. If you don't want to hear more deserved qualifications about yourself, go away.

Here's the closed loop SMOT:

When the ball escapes the sticky spot it does so with the help of gravity and then is left in a position lower than it started. If you use a smaller ball then gravity will likely not be enough to get past the sticky spot and escape because the magnet hold back force is too strong for the smaller ball.
So you can see that all this has to be finely tuned but in the end there is no net gain. If the ball remained unstuck and higher than its starting point then there would be no dispute about the net gain. If it kept running like the finsrud device there'd be not debate either.

My pendulum that swings higher than its dropped spot does have a net gain but there is nothing to take to be bank either. You can see that here....http://student.ccbmd.edu/~norman/magwork.html

@All,

As seen in http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2383887636280790847 the ball travels along a closed A-B-C-A loop. The loop A-B-C-A is a closed loop. Anyone who would dare to deny this obviousl fact will read a deserved qualification about himself.

This is a warning!

No, the ball very obviously stops at "A" after falling from "C" where it stays until the guy lifts it back to "B". This hardly constitutes "closed loop operation, if the guy goes for a piss the ball stays at "A" until he comes back....
