I Closed the loop

[jjbeamish]

I finely got it. It took almost a year buy I did it. The hole key to completing the loop is a flywheel. Build as if it were an ICE except magnet is piston and fuel. Thanks to Don Adsitt of http://www.theverylastpageoftheinternet.com/ for the inspiration.Here is a video of one of my (many) early ramps: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/o ... les/Jason/

That is fantastic news. I am trying to access your page but I have not been able to, so far. I am working on it. I have also made progress in my quest and I have also come to the conclusion that the flywheel is a key player in the design. I tried, unsucessfully, to use the wheels as the flywheel, but that did not work out. I am in the process of getting new mags now and look forward to having a prototype model soon. maybe 3 months or so.
keep on keeping on

Yes the flywheel is key. It took me many hours of staring and playing with the ramps to figure it out. The whole trick is the timing, you want the “backstroke” to start at just about the strongest pull from the last magnet. I will get my project page going here sometime. I have an 18 month old son, work a long ways from home. I can read while at work but can only work on my projects late night on the weekends (after everyone’s asleep lol)
