Nightlife,
What will they learn.

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!

@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.

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

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:

I have two questions:

1) Will this really happen? When the magnet is quickly pulled back by the spring, the ball, that was already being accelerated, will continue its way up, and it can reach the end of the track?

2) If this happens, someone can imagine any relation between the magnetic force of attraction of the magnets and the force of the spring pulling the larger magnet to the wall? Or those are two separated systems?

I imagined this experiment because, in the V gate wheel, apparently the attraction between the stator and the wheel at the moment when the stator begins to rise, lifted by human hand, don't cause deceleration in the wheel, maybe because of the angle of departure:

Notice as the direction in which the stator departs from the wheel is the same direction of the rotation, it departs in a direction that favors the rotation, rather than undermine the rotation. The same principle of the experiment I imagined above: the departure of the larger magnet favours the upward movement of the ball, because of the angle of departure, the direction of the departure (same direction of the upward movement of the ball).

And remember this periodic departure is NOT what is causing the wheel to spin. The magnetic attraction in the REST of the rotation (let we say, 300 degrees of a 360 degrees rotation) is what is causing the acceleration of the wheel.

Ladies and gentlemen...

EUREKA!


Dear friends. I think I discovered why the "V Gate Wheel" accelerates so well... In fact, I discovered that we don't really need any "V".  Instead of "V Gate Wheel" it should be named "SMOT wheel". And i think I discovered the power of the "circular SMOT".

Dear friends, everyone knows the "secret" of any SMOT is that the "next magnet" is always stronger than the "previous magnet". This is the principle of SMOT. The first magnet is the weakest, and the last magnet is the strongest.

The "SMOT wheel" is not different. Well, the difference between a SMOT wheel and a linear wheel is that usually, in a linear SMOT, the SMOT itself is the "stator", and the ball is the "runner".  In a "SMOT wheel", the SMOT is the rotor, and the ball (or cylinder) is the stator!

So, I discovered that, in a SMOT wheel, we don't need a V. We only need a gap, large enough to assure that, when our beloved stator approaches the wheel again, coming back from "exile", the "big bad" strongest magnet of the SMOT will be very far away, and the distance will make its attraction force towards the stator NOT be stronger than the attraction force of the WEAKEST magnet.

And I discovered a lot of other things that I will share with you in the image below. Please, analyse it carefully before start insulting me
