Tri-Force Magnets - Finally shown to be OU?

[CLaNZeR]

I find the trigate works best if the roller magnet is rolling so instead of sticking the bar magnets on a toy car I would make the bar magnet the wheels of a toy car and watch how great it works as a toy, toy cars racing down two tracks with out using springs or batteries great for the kids.

umm now there is an idea to try for a sleepy Sunday

- i have found that removing those two angled magnets at the gate exit makes for a much smoother exit, and subsequent transition into the next gate.
I've posted a video on YouTube of 4 Extended gates.

Excellent Video Sm0ky2

Wish I had some wooden floors in the house, save me having too use bits of wood.

Cheers

Hi Sean
Thanks for adding that video to your site it makes things easier, I havn't tried a closed loop because I don't beleave you can make a magnetic motor with a closed loop, I beleave you must have a starting and ending point to get continues rotation for instance an electromagnetic motor doesn\t have a closed loop yet by changing the fields the rotation is great, if you can come into my gate you would get I beleave a working magnetic motor and to do this I feel using the extended trigate past the rotation arc of your rotor will enable the rotor to attract in, I feel you need both poles of a rotor to make a working motor thats why I use two triangle instead of one this means both poles are working on each side of the trigate and the flux is not leaking.
Thanks again and take care Sean

Question for the experimenters: how far around the first gate does the repulsion field extend? Is it possible to loop the path back to the first gate and 'deliver' the roller to a part of the first gate that is not in repulsion?

[eavogels]

When starting the roller a bit before the resting point, in a one track TriForce gate, you feel the strong repel force. After passing that repel force, the roller is somewhere between the repel and attract forces and therefore it seems to start with 0 energy. But the repelling point is still there and even with more and more gates, the repelling point is maintained. When you finally close the loop, it's paying time and you NEED to overcome that repelling point, in order to come around.
We have to find a way to reduce the repelling point before the first gate, but reducing the repelling force before the gate will result in a reduction of the repelling force behind the gate and the roller will not be launched so far anymore.
