: I've made a permanent magnetic/gravitational free energy ramp! It's power output is unnoticeable and it is one shot, the geometry disallows it to really become full circle, so I can only prove on paper that is works, and so have stopped working with it, since if I got it to work it would have no practicle use. Here are some nice sites:

: ^read everything there, my ramp is based on this, but I've never been able to get it to work with a ball, only with a rolling magnet.

My idea is very similar to the pictures at the top of the
patent on that page-with some distintions...
nice to know I am not the only or first...
If I am right, this motor should haul speed, with constant
average torque per rotation.
The only thing slowing it down is friction,
eddy currents in needed metal pieces in it's constuction,
and the load on it...
I don't think it needs any "special" metal to work right,
I may be wrong on this...
BTW, does anyone know how fast Minto's wheel spun?
(look up "minto wheel" on Google)
