Hi Graham,

The "ball-less base" configuration that you described earlier is not demonstrated in your latest video.

@ yada - i could comment on that (hehe) having already torn through that config.. but i'll let graham tell you in his words.


as for this Magnetic Contraption...  im with you guys on this.  i dont have the slightest clue whats going on here yet, and it took me a while to get the mags set up right on the polygon.

the litle 'wingmagnets' are what make it unbalance - because as soon as i got them adjusted "just right" the thing went. 

its still going right now, im gonna see how long it can keep it up.

here ya go

sm0ky2 ,

Outstanding!      There are now three of these devices spinning.

I'm working on mine, but my neos are so small (0.5") that the bloody octahedral collapses every time I piece it together.  It's a very unstable configuration. 
I've tried so many times that I've worn the paint off the magnets, and it's all over my hands (and sticky).  I need to use automobile pin-striping tape, and so I'm off to buy some.

   Q1:  How have you configured the magnets in the bottom half of the octahedraon?

   Q2:  What is that dangling from your two stator magnets?


Cheers

@smOky2,

Can you tell us more about this? The video you've posted is so dark one can hardly see anything there. I'm using the 'supermag' sticks and balls and side wings are also made of these pieces but I'm not getting anything. worth showing.

Does your thingy self-start or you had to apply an initial push?

@ Yada -

                I used a couple pieces of metal i had laying around.  i dont think it matters what you use, though im sure theres a shape or two that might work better. basically it dampens the field comming off the wing magnets,
Clanzer used the steel balls on his.
the first video had two black rectangle pieces.

mine are kind of square-triangle shaped, they were corner pieces from something dismantled.


My magnets the "square" goes around N->S->N->S->N->S   

the pyramids are all N on top,  and all S on bottom.

standard Tri-Force above (double-N-pole facing down)   

sorry about the lighting, the only thing i had to stick that to was the garage door, and the light sucks over there....

i couldnt get it to balance on a stick like the others...
it kept wanting to tip sideways


@Omni -

Start with a square. Then build a pyramid on top and bottom
