@ Graham also, the corner gate (magnetically speaking) is just like the "L-shaped" Tri-Force aray.

there is a magnetic wall on both sides, its just far out, so sometimes isn't noticed until you place a rotational piece in front of the corner gate. it goes through the gate, perfectly. but stops a good ways BEFORE the gate, and gets pulled back in a good ways AFTER the gate. 
Same thing happens with the "L" tri-force, but for different reasons (because we're litterally stretching the field at two corners of the triangle). But through the flux viewer they lookvery similar. and behave the same, when used with a rotational system.

(in case you were wondering, Im calling your bluff. I highly doubt your claim, given your illogical reasoning, poor spelling, and utter lack of punctuation. How can you hire someone for the biggest projects in the world if you cant spell "someone" or "project?")

Again we see the difference between the real world and Purepower's school world.
last time i checked, construction projects were the biggest projects in the world, and I'm pretty sure that it would be VERY easy for someone to not only work, but to finish high on the "corporate" ladder without being able to spell "someone, or project".  likely make a pile more money in the long run than an engineer working at a company where you are just a number, and expected to be a "yes" man to ensure the advancements of their superiors.
But hey, thats the real world, right?
In fact, I even personally know a guy that was in 2nd year of med school in georgia, before it was found he was mostly illiterate, so that's how good the american school system is. 
But again, that's the real world, not something that is only read about in a book.

A secretary?s job is not just to sit on your lap; they normally do the typing and grammar for you. This is what my last secretary wrote.

@ Exx,  im in the process of building 2 prototype linear-bearings, and will post a test video

given some thought to splitting the rods, while this doesnt change the principle functioning of the device, it does get around a least 4 obstacles, that others - self included - have run into..

Dude, split the rod, double the bearing......really.

The rod is our power producer, it's gotta have leverage. If we give it to much by only using 1 anchor point, it's an unbalanced lever and will rip itself apart.

this would mean one bearing per rod, and im not sure if it could hold up to that stress.
My original design has a bearing on each end of the rod, about 2/3s out from the center,
i'm leaning towards just stacking them like originally planned, my only concern is the stress on that outermost bearing mounts. may need reinforcement brackets or something, we'll see..

<see above>

I have NO proof of this, it's just how the movie plays in my mind, and it might be minimal since there are opposing cooperating fields.

Stacking it will maybe be the same because your effecting magnet arrays @ 7  and 1 now have to be multi magnet (unless you got some tall mags) and give you fits while tuning.

When I tried it in my ghetto fashion, I could get 1 side of the rod to work fine, and the other side would bump.

But then again, my demo had no precision to it's build and could have failed for that reason alone.

Going clockwise, from 6 to 7, the top of the rod is attracted to the inner hub and leaning towards 8.
The bottom of the rod is pushed towards 6.

You might not even see it, but time and repetition will at least bow your side bearing supports.

Hi Sm0ky2
First you can't get an L shaped magnet, second ofcause they look the same through a viewer because I'm using the magnets to remove the flux I don't want, johnson does the same but he grinds the edges off to cut down the flux he doesn't want and yes there is a point were it will not attract in or it will attract back this is what I call the corner effect where two attracting magnet repel or two repelling magnets attract, at this corner two magnets do the opposite to what they would normally do and why is this because Ed leed got it right if you follow a magnet around you will see theres a point where its on the attract side but its repel half is facing the other magnet, magnets move in half from repel to attract.
If you could follow a magnet around you would be able to make a motor because it goes out at the repel then in at the attract throught the magnet then out again, if you could follow it through the magnet then you could follow it right around and have a motor but ofcause you can't go through a magnet.
I see all this with out using iron fillings or viewing glasses, I could be wrong Sm0ky2 but I can't remember ever seeing anything from you showing the world how you can attract in and repel out of a magnetic field, if you work out my 3nd design before I release it then I may respect what you say but till then sorry you have not shown me anything I didn't already know.
Take Care Sm0ky2
