I'm using Final Velocity = average velocity + g *

Hi Jed,

So can I ship you a SMOT and the measurement system so
you can prove the data I'm seeing is not real and your

Basically the measurement system data shows:

1) The ball moves from a place of higher flux density
to a place of lower flux density powered by magnets
and gravity.

2) The ball has more final KE (at the place with less
flux density) than it had initial PE (at the place of
higher flux density).

How would you calculate the final KE of a vertically
falling ball assuming you know the mass of the ball, g
and you could accurately measure the transit time of
the last say 25mm of the vertical drop?

Then, assuming you knew the total drop distance, would
not a lower measured KE (than PE theory would predict)
indicate the amount of effective reduction in the
acceleration of gravity due to magnetic dragback?

Measuring the OU Prometheus Effect

2005-05-01 Thread Prometheus Effect
--- David Dameron [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
 Hi Greg,

 It is accepted that gravity is a conservative field.

As it is also accepted that a magnetic field is
conservative. BUT is that really the case 100% of the
time or just what we have observed to date?

Dave, will you agree to replace David Squires as an
independent Prometheus Effect verifier? You will need
to join the PE group.

 Cyril pointed out that there are places on exit
 where there would be no magnetic force. 

Cyril's force analysis was done on the forces along
the ramp and not as the ball drops vertically. I think
the slow motion frame by frame animated GIFs of a
climb and drop that I have loaded onto the PE site (in
the Videos section) tell the story better.

 So an important factor is how much kinetic energy
 does it take to get the ball to one, not that a
 position exists.

To make the Prometheus Effect work, IMO, almost ALL
the KE must be given back to punch through the inner
(dragback / declining flux) wall of the Blue Hole
and exit vertically downward with little or no
dragback of the PE gained during the ramp climb. From
the frame by frame slow motion sequences it is clear
the ball almost stops (gives up almost all the ramp
gained KE) just before it slowly rotates on the exit
point and drops verticaly downward with little or no
horizontal KE. The ball does have some rotational KE
due to the exit point rotation.
 
 Are you saying that a slow magnetic gradient (on
 entrance) followed by a larger gradient on exit,
 over a shorter distance, can produce a
 non-conservative magnetic field?

If that is the case it is not clear. Maybe the
acceleration of gravity alters? I don't have the
equipment to tell but something very significant
alters.
 
 That would be very significant!

I agree. I just wish I understood what I now know
about the Prometheus Effect back in 1997 but that is
another story for another day.

Hi Dave,

What is clear is the following:

Establish 4 points:

1) Point A at the ramp entry.

2) Point B where the ball lands if it is allowed to
roll backward from Point A and drop say 50mm to a
level refernece plane.

3) Point C at the highest point of the ramp climb.

4) Point D where the ball lands if it is allowed to
transit points A to C and drop to the same level
reference plane as in point A.

What I observe is:

1) Measure the final KE as the ball transits point A
to B, without magnets (done to max KE by elimination
of the magnetic dragback which does occur under the
entry point. This same magnetic dragback at the entry
assists the balls return). Record as KE1.

2) Measure the final KE as the ball transits points A
to C to D. Record as KE2.

3) Measure the flux density at point A (with magnets
present). Record as B1.

4) Measure the flux density at point D (with magnets
present). Record as B2.

5) Observe KE2 is greater than KE1. (The ball has
gained sufficient KE to do the return journey point D
to point A against gravity)

6) Observe B1 is greater than B2. (The magnetic field
will aid the balls return from point D to point A.

Thus the measurements confirm OU capability and a very
significant alteration in what conventional theory
would predict.

Verification of these measurements and observations,
using this protocol and the measurement system I have
developed, is what I seek from those independent
verifiers who choose to do so.

Comments most welcome.

Hi Stephen,

That worries me as I know what I'm seeing in devices I

of the energy can be explained without wasting so much
paper and dried ink.

What I do know is that you can drop the ball
vertically from the entry position, without magnets
and measure the KE delivered in a fall to a level
reference plane, then replace the ball at the entry
point and allow it to do the climb, drop and fall to
the the same entry plane. The measured final exit KE
is not significantly different to the calculated exit
PE. This to me indicates there has been very little
effective magnetic dragback.

I have built pure rotary devices (yes it can be done)
but the load curve is lousy as well as it is difficult
to control RPM when the load changes. No feedback
control loops.

Please have a look at the JLN / Prof Clauzon data on
the site which strongly supports the effective
dragback less exit.

I can only report on what I achieved and from memory

and as I only used ferrite fridge magnets this was not
that easy. Epitaxy reported much better results but
then he used Neos and an exotic glass ball filled with
compacted ferrite powder.

Experience has shown that going down this pathway
(linking multiple ramps in a circular form) was not a
good idea. Ball rolling losses increase quite a bit
when the inside and outside track radius are different
and you still have significant magnetic drawback to
deal with. Its only by exiting straight down that you
can make dragback insignificant.

 How much energy is required to push the ball back to

 around the ramp in a big loop will also take energy,
 although this may not be as clear or easy to
 measure as the first method. Start with the
 first method, and experimentally determine the

Hi Keith,

The first job is to adjust the ramp parameters until
the measurement system indicates the best final exit
KE. Then take the magnets away, place the ball at the
top of the exit and let it drop. If it can't make it
back to the lower starting place then either you need
to reduce frictional losses or increase the lift. 

Anyway once you know you can get a rollaround without
the magnets, replace them and again adjust the exit
position for the best final KE that is similiar to the
calculated KE from a magnetless drop.

You should then be able to observe a closed loop demo.
I'm working on a simple to build / replicate single
