ALL PERMANENT MAGNET CIRCULAR MAGNET TRACK DEVELOPED (2)

I didn?t modify the video in any way. I just uploaded what Tom sent me.
Ask him about the codec.

@magnetman12003: Tom, would you convert the movie?

here we go! i converted to wmv and its 1.2 meg instead of 9.5!

[gast]

TheOne: Thank you for the converting.

@magnetman12003: Hmm, this is a weirdly design. And also if the steelball will turn full 360 degrees, you cannot get much mecanical energy from it (I think). At higher RPMs the ball will bounce away because of the centrifugal force.

Suggestion: What's, if the steelball is fixed to a rotable "crank arm"(?) with a pivotal point in the center of your round, magnetic groundplate?
So the steelball hang closely over the round groundplate and is only able to move on an exact circle shape (without this non-linear, spastic movements the steelball performs now).

Hi,
this is a typical magnet track, where the end effects just accelerate the steel ball and roller.
If you close the magnet track to 360 degrees, all forces will cancel out.
Been there, tried that... Looks not good.
ALso your roller and ball is not really accelerating but bounces back and forth...s
so this is bad magnet track..
