Magnetic V Gate

[Rapadura]

There are numerous options for moving the stator at the right moment. However, I thought it should be first tried a purely mechanical system, with no electricity, because I tend to think that the conversion of mechanical energy to electricity is a huge waste of energy. Perhaps the purely mechanical idea of using a cam should work, and a "perpetuum mobile" can be built . If not, approaches involving electricity can be tried.

Ah, I have not posted yet in this thread my favorite videos of V Gate wheels (posted only in the two other threads):

Love these vids!

Well not a bad idea I thought anyways nothing wrong with sharing the ida aye?

  It might not be what he thinks. With something that has been built, then different ways of working around the problem might be tried. One of them could work.
But without building one, nothing can be seen.

I was thinking that if he built one, he would then see what we have been trying to tell him. You are correct that by him doing so, he may think of a way that has not been tried and just may work. All in all, it's the expirience that he needs to learn from that will help him in the future. I had to do it just as many others, which has led me to new discoveries that just may work. The build's create dreams which helps us think of new and better ways.

OK, I just imagined an experiment to try to clarify some things about the  V gate wheel.

This experiment involves a large neodymium magnet attached to a spring that is fixed to a wall, a magnetic ball of neodymium and a inclined track.

The large magnet will atract the magnetic ball, accelerating the ball and making the ball go up on the track.

Here is a visualization of the system before we release the magnet that is attached to the spring under tension:

When the ball is half its way going up on the track, we release the large magnet, and the spring under severe tension will very quickly pull the large magnet to the wall, at a large distance from the track, so there will be no more attraction between the large magnet and the ball.

Even so, I imagine, the ball, that was accelerated already, will continue its way up, until the end of the track.
