I knew there was a reason that all of the ramps had be on, to get a motor
but this post helped me to see more on just how each ramp must be
perfectly spaced out to pass the ball to the next ramp. I heard you say
this before but this time I understood it better. Also the attraction ramp
needs to be different than the repulsion as you have stated so that the
small amount of pull back left over comes after the next ramp engages.
Also as stated before the attraction side is stronger when we did the
cancellation step and it has been in the back of my mind that each side
being a different "EVENT" would need to be dealt with on a come what
may basis. I see that by having two ramps the same we are close but
no cigar. I think I am almost there. Sprocket did offer the right answer
and I will cut down my attraction side tines quite a bit smaller as a matter
of tuning. Thanks for being consistent and hanging in there til this all
has been reread a few times plus repeats.
As far as I can tell the size of the rotor circle will be found by the size
of the ramps based on the power of the magnets. After an experimenter
gets a pair of ramps (A CELL) and 4 magnets spinning up without to much
cogging, then another "CELL" is placed next to the existing "CELL" at just
the right location. That location being just before the tiny left over cogging
from the previous "CELL" stammers a twinge. At this point that small amount
of back slash takes place during the "Power Stroke" of the adjacent ramp.
Then on to the next "CELL" for the same process. I know this all sounds
like a boring repeat but I can't help it, this is the way I learn things.
Tonight is the first time I got this part of the build.
Also I read your instruction that you state builders perform "step one" which
is the cancellation step, next to do a single ramp test such as the repulsion
side ramp then next remove that ramp and go to the other side and do the
same tests on the attraction side. So what I think the reason is for doing
each test separate is to learn the differences in the effects for each side.
Such as small changes of push or pull and where these forces "PLACE"
of the circle of degrees. This way I believe we could see that if the same
ramp is used on both sides but only one at a time, we would see that in
order to keep a balance when both ramps are present, we would begin to
reason how ramps might be altered to resolve cogging issues.
I don't see a video yet where this instruction was followed. There is so
much material to read already it will take all of us reminding one another
for quite some time before all of this becomes common place.
