ALERT: SUPPRESSION UNDER WAY for the V-Gate motor

[Joit]

I did do a replication from this wheel, just with a small one maybe 9 inch.
The Problems i got there, was, that it need to be balanced,
as Clanzer did, maybe less, when you use a big Wheel,
and that the Way from this lever,
that it allways comes from the same side over the lower Magnet.
Its kind of Balancing, and it seems for me it is better
to use this long Rods for steering. And bigger Scale seems better.

Thanks for the update. The bike wheel I have is fairly big. Was going to use it for SSG but its magnetic (not aluminum or stainless steel) so useless for SSG.
Should be okay for this (OMEGA).

i've got some magnets and i'm working on a smaller model will give updates here

Build the "V" gate with a 6' or larger wheel and magnets all the way around it. Cost a couple thousand dollars, but it would work. Matt Jones posted the plans a couple years ago, but they have been taken down. The gate looks like this...only put together more precisely than mine! LOL. Very little resistance to enter the gate and plenty of acceleration coming out. He doesn't have all those different kinds of magnets in the gate for FUN. There is a purpose for every one of them and in the way they are laid out to form specially shaped magnetic fields.

Magnetic Motion

Several years ago I built a device that looked like a child's see-saw. It could move up and down. There were magnets that were not on the see-saw itself, but along both sides of the see saw when it was in the "down" position. When it was in the "up" position those magnets were below it. There was a track on the see-saw itself with a little wheeled cart that rode up and down the track. It had a large permanent magnet in it. When the weight of the cart forced that end of the see-saw down, The magnets on the side would repel the magnet in the cart, and force the cart up the track and over the top. As the magnet on wheels started down the other side, its weight would tip the see-saw, and that side would come down, which put the magnet on wheels in conflict with the magnets on both sides of the see-saw on that side, so it would slow down, stop, reverse direction, and roll back up the track and over the top, starting down the other side.....etc. The wheels on the magnet were in aluminum channel to keep it from flying off the track as it went over the top. It would run until the moving magnet got bound up, which happened quite often, but I felt the device had potential. Basically it used magnetic repulsion to overcome the effects of gravity, and leverage and inertia to overcome the forces of magnetic repulsion. When the magnet was rolling down the hill it took magnetic repulsion some time to slow its progress, stop it, and reverse its course. But it ALWAYS got far enough down the hill to tip the see-saw in that direction. I kept adding weight to put as much weight on the little "cart" as magnetic repulsion could possibly move up the hill and over the top. I had a setup on my bench for a couple years before I moved to California, and left it behind. I played not only with the amount of weights, but with the height of the folcrum, which changed the mechanical advantage. But it was a pretty simple setup and I believe it had a lot of potential. As the see-saw tips back and forth, that motion can be used to do useful work. The larger the scale, the easier it is to build it without it binding up at some point. The larger the weights you use the more useful the work that can be done. The more powerful and the LARGER the magnets, the more weight that can be moved. But even with small magnets and an inexpensive model you can see the simple principle I used here. Hope this gives folks some ideas.
