The handkerchiefs were there imo to create an air of intrigue/mystery & to stop any grease getting on the hands & clothes of the witnesses - not a good first impression perhaps.

Or so groves in the metal would not show.

Forgive me for not using an exact Bessler quote. Don`t have time to look it up. It can be found in nature It is the quality of the materials..... maybe he hid the ends of the cylindrical weights in a handkerchief so that you could not see the slice of loadstone glued to each end Why use lead weights...

Imo Bessler used what I like to call The Cause Effect Cause Theory. In order for a wheel to run the mechs inside must have cause and effect. We know this all to well. The difference would be effect must affect cause. Any action will have an equal and opposite reaction that must be used to effect the...

The best place I have found to buy magnets. http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/detail-ID-125.html Not a bad price but I like to do as much research as possible before beginning a build. It would take 80 to 100 of theses to build it at an est. cost of $120.00 to $150.00. Best to ask others who have al...

Ssmyser I to got into magnets in that same time period. All started with the SMOT and I still play around with them today. My current build involves magnets and weights. Been looking around the web to see all the configurations that have be proven. What gets me about this design is ……… Does it...

As you can see by this screen shot the side magnets have separation points equal to the launching magnets size. I marked the poles to make to easy to understand. Don`t quote me on this but this is how I think it works. Could the runner magnet be place in the center and still launch? If so, why not j...

Ssmyser It works by making magnets (or metal) closer at the end point than the start point. Are you sure about that? Looks like the magnets are an equal distance apart. Ralph, Thanks for the link. What I am looking for is someone who has built this device. Don`t have any Rare-Earth Neodymium-Iron-Bo...

Has anyone here built this device. Could be something to look into.

enough!!!!!!!!!!!!

I`ve said it before and I`ll say it again. If we are all going to play in the same sandbox. Please do not throw the sand. We come here for a common reason. To make the world a better place to live. Clear air and polution free. Working together as one will be the only way this can happen. Can`t we al...

Jim, I am not sorry to say this but you are acting like a complete ass. Is this the kind of ridicule we can expect from you if we make a mistake in our math. I have certainly seen the sharp edge of your sword in the past. Awhile back I sent both you and Ralph the same wheel idea by email. Ralph and ...

Ovyyus, Kids one-shot demos are fine, but if you're trying to build a forever looping SMOT then the final drop position is always equal to the ramp entry heigh t You are correct. I have tried over and over again to complete the loop with no success to date. There is a way to skin this cat but it jus...

It is a discussion on how to close the loop.

Being that my shop is the great outdoors and the current temp here is over 100 degrees. I cannot work on my current wheel project. I`ll invest some time into building a SMOT this weekend. All it takes are some magnets and some duck tape. God bless the inventer of duck tape because its a wonderful th...

I have built many smots and have used them as science projects for my children. The drop position does not need to be lower than the start position.

Build one yourself and see what I mean. All the parts can be found at Lows. Take about 10 minutes to put together.
