Magnetic V Gate

Nightlife,
What will they learn.

 When CLaNZeR was playing with the drum v-gate design. I suggested a similar cam but sideways instead of up and down. It would be less friction. The biggest problem is it seems to not be strong enough to use a mechanical cam. So I would suggest a counter balance to lighten the friction of the cam.

a simple plexi track mounted on the "Circular Cliff" hehe for the stator to ride on along with some lubricant how ever there would also have to be a rubber stopper so at the catch point it would not get flung down. Obvious it is not the best solution but it is the most crude and uses likely the least amount of power baring that we could make a timed actuator that uses less energy then the friction this track of plexi would create.

Checkmate energy crisis solved !

























Or at least I would like to hope it is checkmate. However, I do request that if anyone uses my design for profit that they simply supply me and my family and friends with one for no charge once there profit netted an amount worthy of this weather design is up to infinate party stage or not. Contact me via PM on this board once the stage is met.

OK so what I am just another person who says I have a dream!

Good Day!

And where is your design?  You mean to send a PM to you to learn?

@All

If you happen to have one of these wheels
made up, here are three things one can try.

a) You can cut the energy required to move the top
piece in half by having two *synchronized* wheels
of opposite polarity running some distance away
from one another. When one wheel shoves the N
pole of the top piece away from it's sticky spot
it also shoves the S pole of the top piece into place
on the other synchronized wheel. The wheels each
makes one power turn, then cams the magnet away,
then one turn idling. That should do it.

That idea came from the magnet piston engine designs.

b) Use the idea that Steorn is developing concerning
use of toroids to block the magnetic fields of a magnet.
This would be based in using an electronic pulse to
block the magnetic field of a magnet and then recovering
the energy circulating in the toroid that made up the pulse.
A mechanical generator would supply only the lost make-up
power.

That idea came from other Steorn threads and is still being
developed there. It is probably based on the toroids gaining
energy from environmental heat. (maxwell's demon)

c) Use a piece of soft ferrite that is initially non-magnetic
but becomes magnetized when used in a magnetic circuit
in the presence of a powerful magnet. Only a point of
contact with another piece of iron would need to be moved.
and not the whole ferrite metal top piece.

That idea comes from the Quinn the Australian thread where
he demonstrated this bulk ferrite magnetization technique. It
would need to be re-worked for this application.
