Smot - A New Approach

[hartiberlin]

Hi Bill,
you can also try to put just one rampof magnets
ABOVE the plastic tube.
This saves magnets and you can bend up the magnetic flux
upwards via iron core pieces much more easily at the ramp exit to
divert away the flux from the ball, so it can exit better.

@billmehes,

The devil is in the details. The main thing you have to do, if you're serious about it ,is to build an experimental setup which would allow you to change slightly important parameters of your device. For instance, there must be 3D tables with micrometric screws to adjust the position of the magnets with great precision. Those of the participants who have worked towards their PhD's know exactly what I mean. Sometimes it takes years to build an appropriate setup with which to carry out scientifically meaningful research. Garage type of efforts won't lead anywhere. Consider building a DVD player in your garage. Would you be able to do it from scratch even if you have all the blueprints available? The task at hand is even more difficult. One thing is for sure, SMOT violates CoE. That's categorically proven. To utilize this to build a self-sustaining device, however, is a daunting engineering task, a quantum leap from just building a SMOT which proves violation of CoE. That's a separate, very difficult task which should be approached systematically as one would approach any difficult scientific problem.

The ball going up the ramp seems to have much energy and momentum. Perhaps just before the ball reaches the top of the ramp it would collide with a weight(s) on an axle (like a water wheel). The momentum would push the non magnetic weight radially around the axle and then re-contact the ball on the opposite side pushing it through the sticky spot and into the tube. Just my 2 cents. Great forum BTW!

Some questions:
1. What would be the significance of a working smot, meaning a closed loop running system?
2. Since Stefan considers the smot to be capbable of over unity would then a working smot be considered a FE device?
3. Hence would it not win the OU price simply by defult?

The answers are
1. Major
2. Yes
3. Build one and collect

This is one of those tasks that seems easy, but isn't. The hampster wheel idea is
intriguing, but has not matured as yet. There is an elegance to the original concept,
but getting it to deliver enough energy to run a hair dryer is tricky.
