Hi all,

I finally got some photos!!  :)

I used a motor and hub from an old portable CD player.. I took out the armature and magnets in the motor so that it is just the shaft and no load.  I tested the arrays with one magnet on the armature and it traveled through the arrays but stopped at the walls at the beginning of the arrays.. same for the four magnet armature shown.  The magnets are N42 that are 1/16" thick.  The smaller magnets in the arrays are 3/8" and the longer ones are 1/2".  The magnets on the armature are 1/4".  I haven't giving up on this idea.

Hi Jason,
   I like your build and I like the idea of using that size of mags for the trigate config. There are still a few things I want to try with the t-gate configuration but I am having a rest from playing at the mo due to other commitments. Keep up the good work  ;). Someone will crack it one day I'm sure.
All the best.
