Roll on the 20th June

Eskimo Quinn gave us the example of a coin placed at the one o?clock position on a tire. Wouldn?t it be great if the coin magically appeared at the one o?clock position and disappeared at the seven o?clock position.. Gravity does its job pulling down on the coin. Now instead of a coin we use a magnet with a hole drilled through it. We have seen Eskimo Quinn?s weighted rod with this coin/magnet at the end. This coin/magnet should be able to move from the weight to the end of the arm. If you attach the magnet to the arm, it is attracted to the weights and will move to them and stick to them. Now place the arms on the plywood disc in the asterisk formation he suggested. Spin the arms and the magnet should move to the end of the rod through centrifugal force. You could say the coin/magnet is on the tire when the coin/magnet is at the end of the rod. When the coin/magnet is attached to the weights you could the coin has disappeared, or in the off position. The coin/magnet is on when at the end of the rods and off when drawn to the magnet. It?s digital in a way.

We can see that centrifugal force keeps the coin/magnet on or out. How do we make the coin/magnet disappear at the seven o?clock position? We set up a magnet so that the repulsion part of magnetism is used. I guess we could use half of a ring magnet from the seven o?clock position to the one o?clock position. Hopefully, if the repulsion (and centripetal force) is enough it will move somewhat the coin/magnet towards the weights or to the off /disappeared position. I guess you could find magnets with enough repulsive force to push the coin/magnet all the way back to the weights entirely. The coin/magnet is off until it reaches the one o?clock where the centrifugal force pulls out to the on position. Maybe this will create the imbalance you are looking for.

I have no idea if this works, but it looks cool.

@borg13

Im sure Archer says that you can use permanant magnets at the 7 posistion but it takes allot more effort to get it set up correctly.

@Chad, nice pic Chad, pics work better for me than endless explanations.

@all...soooooo the mags at 1 pull right ?.....and the ELECTO mag pushes at 7.......keeping the weight on the right side so the wheel wants to turn Clock Wise,........im wondering if there needs to be an electromag to push at 7, OR, can we simply use strong neo mags to do the pushing ?..what do ya think folks?.

...
These are two entirely different scenerios.  a kid trying to lift a car with a pulley,
vs.a kid sitting on the end of a long teeter-totter lifting the car with ease.
...

ahem...

If your kid gets a LONG (and rigid) teeter-totter, then my kid gets a block and tackle. <edit: and lead boots>

The lever only allows one to trade force for distance, same with the pulley.  The amount of work is the same regardless.  The "effort" is reduced, but the work (energy) stays the same, with or without the help of these simple machines.

Exactly.  it is this "effort" that overcomes the inertia of the mass at rest.
Not the (energy) that is constant from gravitational force.





Everyone should go back to Archer's website, he has posted updated information, it appears he is giving us the secret NOW, instead of waiting till june 20th.

hmmmmm, maybe when/if the time is right Mr Q will bust out his crayons and post a little pic for us so we can ALL be on the same page

Hi All
Lets stop a myth right now and thats the attraction and repultion of one magnet is different, heres a experiment that will show you that there the same, I made a video if anyone doesn't want to do it there selves anyway here goes first: draw a line on a piece of paper, place a magnet on the line with ever the north or south pole facing you now get another magnet the same shape and strength on the first and slowly move that magnet towards the on you have on the line so they attract to each other at the place they attract put another line, this tells you where the two magnets start attracting to each other, now place your first magnet back on the line and get your other magnet turn it around so it will repel the first magnet and start moving it towards it slowly.
If you move it straight towards the first magnet it should repel it at the line you made for the start of the attraction, keep doing it changing from attract to repel you will find hardly any difference if any between the two starting point, if you see a difference it will be the repel pushing before the line the reason you get this is because you have your magnets comming together  from the side and not straight on, for some strange reason the repel is stronger if you come from the side of two magnets and not straight on if you try the same position with attracting magnet it will do two things first it does something I called in other groups the corner effect where it repels the two attracting magnet when it hits the corner of the flux, once past that corner effect it will not attract until the attracting line.
Do the experiment as much as you like you will never see it attract in before it repels away, like I said straight on and everytime the attract and repel will happen at the same place.
