Queue,

Have you verified that your magnets are magnetized through the length and a compass points to the edges of the magnets rather than the faces?

@queue,

Recall that in the magnetic propulsor we need to have gravity to get the ball out of the structure (out of the magnetic field). On the contrary, recall in the tri-gate it was easy for the roller to get out of the structure but there was a barrier at the entrance of the structure. From your second video it is seen that there's no barrier to get out of the structure. It would be interesting to see whether or not there's a barrier to get into the structure. If there is no such barrier we're there. It would only be a matter of building a matching second structure.

I'm editing to add this: The encouraging fact in your 2nd video was that the gets easily out of the stator magnet. Think about it, if that's because all rotor magnets are N and that occurred because the stator magnet was placed favorably to have its N repel on the exit the N pole of the rotor then the stator placement should also be favorable when rotor structure enters its sphere of influence (indeed rotor will be N while the closer stator pole will be S upon entering). The alternative position (flipping over its N and S poles) of the stator will be unfavorable, if the above is true.

Here's another edit to reinforce the above. There should be some kind of a hybrid (and that's what attracted me to this Mylow thing to begin with, expecting this hybrid has been achieved) between the propulsor and tri-gate whereby the sucking into the structure would be as unobstructed as the spitting it out of the structure. If we have this, we're done. The only thing that remains is to have it optimized for a closed loop.

i did not make a compass video of that - but yes - my mags are the same pole orientations as Mylow's.

Merci

@Queue:

Your first magnet stack has only got 6 magnets instead of 7, so just maybe add another one.

Please also show your stator magnet.

Is it also just a magnetized iron U-Shaped block ?

Looking forward to see the video, when all magnets are mounted.

Many thanks.

Depending on which way you rotate the rotors :

At the start of each rotor array segment there is a small wall you have to push through to get started.
rotor N meets stator's N = (wall) repulsion. 

As the last magnet in each rotor segment moves past the stators S side and out of the stator's field - it get's pushed away by the same amount you had to push to get in to get started moving. 

If you flip the stator 180 degrees - the rotors want to go the opposite way ..
Hope i haven't just confused you completely. :-)
