new tri-gate configuration

[gwhy!]

Hi gwhy!

I think your idea is better than using shields.. check out the thread posted above for my latest graphic.. I think this will work!

Hi Tesla,
     The trouble with the tri-gate is when you try and make it a loop with gaps is the the gap becomes very hard to jump once you place the array more than 180 degrees around the rotor, I did try and set it up with 3 rotors on a common shaft but this was still a no go, you can get it very close but there is never not quite enough power to push it through the gaps. I didn't try anything with shielding because I couldn't see how it would benefit the setup. it is very easy to test: make 3 sets of gates and place them equally in a straight line ( so the gap is exactly the same between them about the same length as one of the tri-gate sets) place the roller mag at the first gate I think you will find the roller exits the first gate and just enters the next gate but don't quite enter the third gate so you then move the third gate closer which then works but if you add another set of tri-gates this needs to be closer again for the roller to enter and so on. It is really frustrating...  . The Idea of the graphic I have show is that there is no gate entrance repulsion so no loss going into each array which is what makes the setup you have shown fail. Hope this makes sense I'm not the best in the world at explaining things    If I get chance I will try and demo it in a vid.

Do you have any ideas on how to modify my last graphic to make it work?  Love to see more video!

Thanks,

Hi Tesla,
   The only possible way that I can see it working is to try and remove the repulsion area at the entrance to the gate but still keeping the kick out from the gate. This is what I am working on at the mo. There are some ideas in one of the other vids I put up onto youtube http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pnMSSz7W8YU these are not my vids but do show lots of configs for the tri-gate.

Hi Jason,
  Short vid to try and show you what I mean about the gap.
