All I heared is that over time the steel ball gets magnetized, so that the 'balance' of the whole assembly is disturbed.

: Hi everyone,
: I haven't contributed anything in here recently, though I've poked my nose in from time to time, to check out the discussions taking place, and any updates on people's ideas and research.
: To me the SMOT ramp, which attempts to use magnetic energy to repeatedly pull a steel ball up a ramp, seems like one of the most promising candidates for a perpetual motion machine.
: Does any know of the status of Greg Watson's work, or others who are trying to make this type of device ?
