Magnetic Launcher

Jan 5, 2008 - If you look at my video "Permanent Magnets Doing Work" you will see the magnet configuration in a more pronounced way. These NIBS provide a very strong initial acceleration and the array allows that to propagate a farther distance. There are added NIBS at the end as well. In this configuration all the NIBS can be of the same strength.

Jan 18, 2008 - excellent video. question, instead of a straight track, why dont you use a round track, kinda like a horse race track? They tricky part will be to get the sphere to transition from the end of the track to the beginning of the track, but if anyone can figure this out, it will be you my friend. in the mean time, i will try myself, perhaps i will be posting my very first youtube video soon...lol

Jan 20, 2008 - Hey Admin, I got the magnets and have been playing. I built a similar device to magnetic launcher from some 5mm square NIB magnets and some cable trunking, the magnets are all north down one side and south the other. It works. Check my video "magnetic gravity engine test 3".Dan

Feb 16, 2008 - Could you make it actually launch the ball though? Doesn't seem there's any way to escape the stronger magnets at the end, so how is it different from attaching the ball to a spring or whatever?

Sm0ky2 Says:

Feb 18, 2008 - you're missing the point here, you attach the ball to a car, that has a release mechanism that actually launches the projectile.The point is it enters at a low velocity and moves a short distance, VERY quickly, with no extra energy.

Mar 15, 2008 - The real question is: does removing the ball from the launcher and putting it back to relaunch expel more energy than is being produced when it is launched? And how do we go about measuring this?

Apr 11, 2008 - Serait-il possible de faire la même rampe, mais en beaucoup plus long, sur un support qui ne soit pas rectiligne ? (un peu comme des montagnes russes ?)

Apr 14, 2008 - OUI en jouant sur la configuration des aimants J'en ai fait un en boucle renversée mais non ferméebon courage

aegisforex Says:

Apr 18, 2008 - LOL, I pose a valid question and I get negative feedback.Great. Thanks.

BrentwoodRothchild Says:

Aug 15, 2008 - Why not make a circle and put a channel around the inside of the magnetic circle will the ball continue to rotate in a circle.Or use 2 balls on the ends of a rotating center pivot the length can be adjustable to regulate speed. Then use this energy to power to power your launcher like a trebuchet and multiply the input energy? (IE:Mechanical accumulator)

Aug 17, 2008 - nothing launched... ):

Aug 19, 2008 - railgun creation in progress.

bitRAKE Says:

Sep 3, 2008 - Assuming the typical positive energy cost; how might this be used to reduce the cost of transport? Energy is localized at the end points and the cost path construction can be offset by the number of trips made. Accurate measurements of energy use will determine the scale of useful development.

Sep 21, 2008 - hey gilbondfac...and the purpose of this is.......? a toy? only another magnetic experiment?....what?....

jakl12 Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - easy payload delivery...in thoery you could make a giant sphere coat it with magnets make it hollow throw your crap inside and it would be effortless trasportation from point a to point b just have to make the rail and have big magnets.....

suNproduction1 Says:

Oct 12, 2008 - if you had made a circel out of that would the ball keep going?

ajsplyne Says:

Oct 21, 2008 - big fukn deal

Nov 1, 2008 - Wow, this is crazy, the Navy is creating a rail gun that will be on US Navy ships in a couple of years! They already have one that accelerates a prejectile at speeds of mach 7!

Nov 21, 2008 - cant se why it would stop...

Nov 21, 2008 - THIS IS SO SCARY. SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND UR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS. THIS IS SO SCARY Cuz IT ACTUALLY WORKS THIS reaLLY WORKS!!!!!
