CLaNZeR can achieve overunity!

Has anyone ever done a wheel with this array?


Mags

Hi Mags.. didn't see your post.. that is the question!  I think it would be worth trying, but with a ball instead of a wheel.

Steel ball ? Why should it work ? The steel ball would  be attracted to the first magnet and not move any further ;]

Did you watch the video?  But.. CLaNZeR rolled it down the side of the array to show there was no attraction.. it didn't go by itself.. didn't notice that.. I still think it may be looped though.

Watch this video.. one side attracts.. the other canceled out.. very cool.

This array seems different as I think you may be able to close loop??  If so, I have an idea of placing in a circle and then have a track for a stainless steel ball.  If can be in a closed loop.. the ball would spin around the track in a loop!

Along these same lines if one arranged Halbach array magnets in a
2.5ft diameter circle and have the runner mounted on an arm. It would
seems like this would work. How strong could a collective sticky spot
become with a Halbach Array magnets? The other thing one could do;
reverse the polarity of Halbach arrays 1/2 way though and have gaps
where the arrays reverses so that the runner could be mechanically
flipped. Also the arm could store a small amount of gravitational energy
by lifting the runner very slightly then having a sharper ramp to
provide some propelling power at where ever the sticky spot there is.
I guess this would be a little like a "Yog motor".

The only possible way this would not work is like user teslaaset
says...that there is no power gain from any part of the array.
But then where is power coming from to make the runner roll
slightly uphill?

I agree.. a magnet rotating on a arm seems possible.. the way to collect some power is, if the arm keeps rotating, to use a small collector coil.
