Electromagnetic Accelerator Improvements Part II

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your views and support. I'd like to clarify a few common questions / comments about this device:

-I think the maximum speed I saw was around 400 RPM.

-Yes, this is effectively just a coilgun bent into a closed loop.

-Yes, this the principles are very similar to a particle accelerator. However, in most particle accelerator configurations, an electric field is used to generate most of the forward acceleration, whereas magnetic fields are used for confinement (or focusing, in the case of an electron beam). Creating useable forces from electric fields requires tremendous voltages, and special electrical insulators to prevent arcing.

-Yes, the track could probably be balanced by the use of another ball 180 degrees out of phase, but it would increase the complexity of the coil control considerably to ensure the balls remain approximately 180 degrees apart. Left to their own devices, I've found that the phases between multiple balls will drift at random.

-Yes, a similar device could be created using an electrical current through liquid mercury. This is known as magnetohydrodynamics. Mercury is very expensive and difficult to acquire in the United States because of the health hazards.

-It's not a perpetual motion machine (implying 100% efficiency). In fact, I believe it's less that 5% efficient. 95% of the energy going into this from the battery is just heating up the coils.

-It's not capable of flying like a "UFO". I think this idea comes from the notion of "inertial propulsion" where some people have mistakenly confused the torque generated by a high speed gyroscope with translational force required for flight. A gyroscope on a shaft can appear to lift itself against gravity, but the lifting is generated by torque, so it depends on having one end of the shaft firmly forced against the ground.

-It's not going to be able to recover power from the moving ball with a "generator" coil. This is because the ball is not magnetized. This would be possible with a permanent magnet ball, but the efficiency of the recovery would probably be extremely poor.

your losing rpm from deflection and friction but good job . frame should be stronger and also mounted to a baseplate (table) mabe a engine oil of some kind for luberication that does well with high heat .

Amazing

Make it go counter clockwise. I want to see if there's a difference going opposite of the Coriolis effect.

um is it possible that u can telll what are the things required to make the circuit and what are the sensors used and where they can be purchased

hey that's pretty cool

@hyperspacepirate the voltmeter led, what part / where did you get that? Also - what circuit design program r u using? Awesome!!

I love this project! I wonder if it is possible to create a near 100 percent efficient device by adding more coils, thereby levitating the ball and preventing contact with the surface while going around. The timing would be difficult. Also, I wonder what it would be like if the ball were magnetized, and the track was a copper tube instead. copper tubes have very interesting interactions with magnetized objects traveling through them. The ball would be doing the same amount of work but at a much lower speed I assume. Anyway, this is three years after the fact, so my fascination is a bit late to the party. Great video.

전기공학을 넘지는 못하네f=ma

Put it on weight balance scare.

What if:..
You make the same thing same size but with 8 magnets

try using a clear perspex tube, when you bend it, submerge it in hot water and put something running through it so it doesn't crease, plumbers use springs,

ใส่น้ำเข้าไปดูด้วยครับ

Please make an easier one as I have an exhibition at my school and I love your project and videos................Love From India............

Could solar panels and rechargeable batteries fix the limited power problem? Another idea I was thinking was to use the jerking motions to create power. Kind of like how pistons move in an engine. I think this is really cool and can revolutionary

If you use a circular tube and connect 3 disc-shaped figures, you can create a magical effect such as the movement of the planet Earth. How to install the discs: One must be inside the second. Of course, the first disc must be smaller than 3.

Copper and stainless hemispheres??

Be good to have a section that has a kind of gate eventually allowing the ball to fly out straight at insane velocity, be better than a coil gun

I would like to know where i can find this kind of battery??

What happens if you replaced the ball with mercury? 😂

Don't Mosfets suffer while they are open circuit while holding the voltage of 23.5 V between drain and source?

Meh

Components name please

Hey guys, I am also trying to build the accelerator can someone help

Homey made a cat toy thinking hes inventing physicis lol

Just put of curiosity , will it if sufficient power and control is given , will it be able to fly ?

This is amazing my only question is with all the brain power put into this why not make it stationary or add some vibration proof feet?

Somebody saw Black Panther nice

Isn't it Centripetal force? Like when Professor Hoffstedder lifted the olive in an upside down glass off the table by spinning it in the glass? It impressed Penny!

How about 8?

Little did he know he just invented the basis for a supremely powerful orbital rail gun.... Legit

I wonder if something like this could end up defying gravity if you used it right? generating higher electro magnetic fields and having more precise triggers? something with mercury? gyroscopic principals and bearings? i'm not smart enough, but i think you are :D i'd love to see you go nuts with this idea and create an anti-gravity generator

So question , did you see yourself capable on disassemble a entire Toyota Prius 2md 💎 Gen and comfortable said you know and understand every component from his DC to DC, basically upscaler DC volatge for later be converted to AC with LGBT transistor ! Dude i dont know much about electronics but my prius turn on a spark on me . Great content even when i dont understand the schematics and diagrams this is so cool and awesome

If placed on a shaft or rod would the entire device spin ?

P.s. , put in a tube. Back up and watch it float

Put Mercury in the accelerator, you're welcome!!

Ball is wayy too heavy

you should really add some rubber grips to the bottom so it dosent slip everywhere

You should add a trap door controlled by a servo under where the ball rolls so you can shoot it after accumulating allot of kinetic energy

Why not fasten it down to, well, anything?

Can it fly

how about u make it read out the rpm of the ball and make it compute with an arduino the timing on when to activate what electromagnet? could be so much faster this way

Now you just need to add a blow-out panel to let the ball free after reaching maximum velocity.

Electricity is gay

It would be interesting to incorporate a tube with Ferrofluid, or mercury, and see what would the outcome would be, instead of the metal ball. In literature, from parts of india, they have these crafts that were mentioned in these thousand year old records, of vimanas, and how they they operated.

Put mercury in there

what if you could make a sort of hatch, or deviation, that once the ball hits a certain speed, launches it out set devitation

Consider lining the interior of the coils with a ferromagnetic substance. In my (miniscule level of) experience, a nail with wires around it performs better than just that length of coiled wire.
