I don’t “run” anything.
I am not a moderator
I did not create this thread
And for the record, your device is (in my opinion) completely off topic.
The original video was presumed to have been edited
to look like a successful looped SMOT.
and if that is the case, the hoaxer doesn’t know how close he really is.
I am simply accepting a challenge (to possibly win a cheeseburger)
And to prove the point that it is possible and has been done way before me.
and to teach people how to do it as I demonstrate the key magnetic principles
of this and almost all other permanent magnet gates.
Now we are going to employ one of Albert Einstein’s favorite scientific methods.
A thought experiment
Think about gravity as being a diplolar field like magnetism.
But more explicitly, scattered like an unmagnetized ferrous material.
so that the field is incoherent, or degaussed.
and in this form, it attracts to the gravitational field of everything
and in this form, we have gravity and anti-gravity mixed and equally
scattered, such that there is no discernible polarity.
the potential gradient is unidirectional, always attracting.
the way magnets attract iron
now think of magnetism as having a bipolar potential field.
so that through a series of hills and valleys, there is a potential
gradient, both up the hill and down it.
Like if we ‘magnetized’ a gravitational source (mass)
and oriented the polarity.
and we have 2 equations, not just one.
E=mBd(north)
E=mBd(south)
Or for gravity
E=mgh(down)
E=mgh(up)
Now because our gravitational field is incoherent
or unpolarized
“up” and “down” are both towards the source
so there is only E=mgh
But for our magnetism,
we have a potential at a distance from north
and a potential at a distance from south
the direction of force (attract or repel) is dependent
upon the orientation of the dipole.
if we polarize our gravity, we will still only have down.
Because we didn’t polarize the other gravitational source
it is only when two gravitational dipoles interact
that we can have an “up” force, or a gravitational repulsion.
For this reason, “anti-gravity” cannot exist on Earth.
For our magnets:
We have a magnetic potential energy at any distance greater than 0
For attraction
And at any distance less than infinity
For repulsion
Now consider 3 magnets in series, at some distance apart
We have a force in the center magnet in both directions
Our center magnet, being a dipole itself,
has its’ south attracted by a north
and its’ north attracted by a south
(for now we will dismiss the open ends of the outer 2)
To the center magnet, either direction is downhill
and uphill from the perspective of the other.
at a point between them, the net force is 0
but there is still force.
the equivalent of pressure.
but in only two vectors
equal, and opposite
On either side of this point, the force is greater
towards that side.
If free to move, the magnet will decrease in
magnetic potential energy from one pole
while increasing magnetic potential energy from the other
The force increases with a decrease in distance
this process is similar to gravity
in that the energy required to “lift” it back towards
the 0-point, is equal to the energy gained as it fell.
So this magnet, at the 0-point
while it has no net force in either direction
is at the maximum potential energy state
of the system
by decreasing the distance between the center magnet
and both poles simultaneously
we are increasing the pressure
while lowering the potential energy
and we change the vector of the force
by 90-degrees to both poles.
this is exactly the same as simply orienting the poles 90-degrees
