neodymium magnet sphere and magnet cubes 5*5 mm ramp
magnetic launcher
Magnetic Launcher
The device is made of a rail fitted with magnets. The rail could be in aluminium and the magnets are fixed below. The most important point is the positioning of the magnets. They must present the same magnetic pole on one side, for the entire row. For example, all magnets on the left side must present the south pole and all magnets on the right side the north pole. In the experiment shown in the video, small cubic magnets have been used but it is also possible with cylindrical magnets. If the two poles are on each face, the magnets have to be placed vertically, as if they were wheels. The space between the magnets is not so critical, but in order to get a good acceleration they must be close enough of each other. It depends of the strength of the magnets, for our experiment they were placed approximately each 5 mm (1/5”).
Then at the end of the rail, two magnets are used instead of one. This is to stop the sphere magnet motion with a stronger magnetic field.
The magnetic sphere is placed approximately 2 cm (1”) from the beginning of the ramp (the opposite side of the two magnets). There is no need to set the sphere in rotation, the magnetic field of the ramp's magnets will attract it towards the end of the ramp. Then the two magnet's stronger field will stop the motion. Each magnets set gives the same speed increase, the speed increase comes from the addition of this speed to the remaining speed from the previous magnets set, thanks to inertia.
The glass sphere (marble) is placed just before the ending magnets of the rail, so that the magnet sphere hits it with its maximum speed. While the magnet sphere is stopped by the magnetic trap, the marble is ejected from the launcher.

What the fuck did you expect, a gun that fires magnets?! -_-
Possibly a magnet that fired guns. that fired magnets.
Lord Seth that would be fucking epic
I have seen actual fucking railguns on this site, a powerful magnet gun can't be that hard.
Uhm, a railgun maybe (although I didn't dislike the video)?
Lord Seth OMG YES

I've always wondered if a magnetic waves could be used as propulsion to power us in space, not into space but once in space. Imagine the infinite power.
Well the thing which shoots us away would move in the other direction then, depending on the mass of it. Search for "conservation of momentum"
Or alternatively "energy conservation rate", as no thermal energy gets created in space.
Ekin(shooter) = Ekin(human)
0,5m(shooter)v(shooter)^2 = 0,5m(human)v(human)^2
0,5mv^2 = 0,5mv^2
Yes it's possible but forbidden.
Constant accelretation. It's above speed light.
Those are some really powerful magnets.
This is actually what we refer to as a Railgun.
Nvm I probably should have wathed the fuul vid before I commented.
+Sage Suchy railguns use ectromagnets and power and depower them in a sequence inorder to achieve maximum thrust in the shortest distance with as few magnets as possible
+si2foo Actually, what you are referring to is a 'coil gun' which literally uses coils, while a 'rail gun' uses charged rails to induce a current through the projectile which creates a magnetic field that propels it along said rails. Took me a while to find that out too XD
+Sage Suchy not a rail gun at all... you using a magnet to smash into a marble .See sl2foo post. Losing a lot of energy smashing into marble to launch it...
+try duck that essentially how a "coil" gun works
I hope North Korea isnt watching
Me too
***** true,they don't have ethernet
+MARK GOMEZ they have there own
+Your Average American yep
if the do see this vid they'll think "we need magnets in our worthless nukes
STOP PLAYING WITH YOUR MAGNETS AND GET BACK TO WORK!
Stop playing with your pride and do something to help people. A job doesn't = helping people. In fact most just do it to make money, which is probable the lowest scummy thing a person can do. Money grabbers. Do something to help people.
Why do you think jobs exist?
TheaDragonSpirit And what, you believe other, fully normal, non-handicapped (mentally or physically), people are incapable of doing things to help themselves? If everyone did something to help themselves, nobody would need help from other people.

The guy was making a joke pretending to be the guys boss, God just lighten up.
@@bababadalgharagh That comment was like three years ago. Ha. Who has bosses these days, it's Task Wizard Administrator of Workers. T.W.A.T for short. Please be politically correct.
If you don't find this funny, what can I say, I just think people shouldn't have bosses, but be part of a team with a task coordinator. No ranks, because ranks lead to feeling oppressed, which leads to resentment of their boss.
On top of this some people just don't get that life isn't about working, it's about enjoying life, and doing your best to make life better for all.

railgun is an electrically powered artillery gun that accelerates a conductive projectile along electromagnetic rails, using the same principles as the homopolar motor. Railguns use (two) sliding or rolling contacts[1] that permit a large electric current to pass through the projectile.
got it off of wikipedia
1:23 any details on how to make that one? It looks simple enough, what arrangement are the magnet poles?
Could this be made into a circle, never ending rotation?
Minus the fact that magnets wear out...
Trey Michael and also you can’t.
I have the same question omg
I hate demonstrations with no explanation. You have sound, USE it. TELL a nigga what you're doing.
Anton Nym No racist comments please
***** You are saying nigga
definitely not used ina racist manner, since I'm BLACK. But even if i were of the caucasian persuasion, it would still be okay. Anyone who gets offended ON PURPOSE deserves to be offended.
I reported you
You reported me for being BLACK? You're a RACIST!
I wound a big copper coil around one end of the tube of a CD spool, hooked up 2*12ah SLA's in series, (24v) and shorted it out. I didnt need a magnet, anything ferromagnetic worked, I just learned to short the wires at a correct passing velocity enough to eject what ever iron thing I wanted without it getting stuck. I burned my fingers a bit, but I finally managed to time it good enough to penetrate a screw through a plaster wall.
reminds me of a railgun
Dat clickbait thumbnail tho.
Rasmus Lundqvist ... how?
is the ball magnetic or just metal?
magnetic ball
+gilbondfac Hello. Can you tell us what type of magnets did you use? And also where can we get it ?
+Ovi Ovidiu hello
neodymium magnet ball on SuperMagnete link
gilbondfac thanks xD
+gilbondfac you should do test for know the power of ball, but good video 👍(sorry,i'm french)
Incredible,you obviously understand it well, I am not that technically savvy enough to figure all that out at this stage, I must google all this type of stuff to brush up on it, but thank you for replying.
if you had those magnets in a circle, would the ball just keep going around?
+Nessy Bomber No, by that point you'd be delving into the concept of perpetual motion, which wouldn't work because of factors like friction.
+Alex Chang What if it's in a perfect vacuum?
+Axel Abraxas there is still friction between the 2 objects
+Nessy Bomber there is also the fact magnets demagnetize each other over time.
+Alex Chang it is in fact not perpetual motion, since magnets use energy when the push or pull an object
Just because you can make a video doesn't mean you should make one
Jack Muscat Just because you can make a comment doesn’t mean you should make one.
@@christianmccauley7340 Came for this comment; did not disappoint. :-)
I'VE SEEN A BIGGER ONE AND BETTER ONE, (PEOPLE GET IN IT) " WHATS IT CALLED" ?
darren berry WHATS IT CALLED?
Marya Khan its called a train, choooooo choooo
darren berry Haahaa. But a train ain't a gun you know.
Marya Khan Bullet train, lol
darren berry LOL
i no longer need to ask a mormon how a magnet works because of this :P
Was thinking that I've wasted 2 minutes of my life, then I've realized that this will make a good toy for my dog.
its a rail gun, well done genius
pretty cool. basic form of the technology that propels Europe and Japans Maglev trains. I also believe this is the type of technology that powers rail guns.
Given this capability of accelerating a steel ball using a magnet ramp, doesn't this open up the possibility of designing a perpetual motion closed loop magnet system? It would operate continuously until the magnetic strength degrades too much to keep it going. Possible?
sometimes i feel like im a nerd for playing ps3 but then after seeing vids like this i know im ok lol
There is no repulsion in this machine. The magnets under the rail at the start are a few mm from the rail and then get closer. The ball is attracted to each magnet, but the attraction is stronger at the end, than at the beginning.
Essentially the steel ball is pulled the whole way, never pushed. That is why it stops a the end.
the electrons flow through the aterial to outside the material and go back to the positive pole, the movement generates magnetical attraction on certain materials
Simplest design of the rail gun, well done sir!
Wait a minute, if you had that thing in a loop, wouldn't it be breaking the laws of physics?
Date Tilson no sorry look my magnet loop

Table-magnet:"chill the fuck out, i got you if he drops you"
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN CALLED,"FUN WITH MAGNETS"
Here's what you need to do - I did it at home - use a metre long PVC pipe with a thickness of 3cm - I'll explain why later. Take 60 2cm diameter neodymium magnets and stick them to the PVC pipe in a hexagonal formation. The reason the pipe is so thick - the magnets won't snap it when they try to get to each other. Place the magnets in this hexagonal formation down the PVC - there should be 10 columns of magnets - 6 on each row. The reason you need so many magnets is because when you drop a magnetic metal into one end of the pipe, the magnetic acceleration is so great the ball can escape the magnetic field and go shooting off out of the other end of the pipe. done correctly, this mechanism can accelerate iron balls that weigh anything up to 32.18g to about 1400m/s. This can be used as a weapon, the same ideology the US weapons research facticity DARPA uses when they talk about making a railgun. Enjoy! don't aim at someone; this can shoot ball bearings at around 3 times faster than a .44 magnum can. good luck!
Really?
I don't follow this part : "They must present the same magnetic pole on one side, for the entire row. For example, all magnets on the left side must present the south
pole and all magnets on the right side the north pole. "
What do you mean by left and right? Are you talking about all North poles facing the same END of the track, or all facing the same way ACROSS the track?
Any chance of a diagram? I realise this is an old post, so I guess not.
science is soooooooooooooo wonderful, all placed here for us to learn by the higher forces...
THIS.IS.SO.FASCINATING!!!
Just watching him working these magnets and the sounds tingles the spine!
This just gave me an awesome idea for a perpetual motion machine.
@TCoops it's more than just a rail, it's like the rail of an maglev train. The pieces of metal on the bottom of the rail are obviously magnets that push the magnet ball...
two and a half minutes of my life spent in complete oblivion
This is pretty much a simplistic rail gun
AH-HAH! I now know what weapons are gonna be used in WWIII! Supersized magnets!!!
2021: Hunting with magnets.
JonjonVII nah don’t think so. We have to survive a pandemic to do so
okay, you need me? here it goes. it's the magic underwear, it gives me the inspiration to do this.
You're looking at the future of weaponry. Electomagnetic "rail guns" are in the works for the U.S. Navy and other armed forces. USN is also going to install electromag catapults on the new class of aircraft carriers too. Fun vid. Thanks for posting it.
awesome gun man magnets are so powerful
Congrats you built a mini rail gun!!
Should make a real magnet revolver ! Would be an interesting alternative to a conventional gun
Instead of Semi-Automatic with a Magazine? Don’t Gatling Guns do something like that as well?
Good experiment. If the rail was a mile long, (level and straight) can the ball go for a mile with just the initial push?
hey, Duck... Electromagnetic energy IS what a railgun (one word) works. This is super simplified but, the basic idea.
I think this is the end of my 'home made gun' search..
Thanks now i can make my own home made railgun!
You posted this 2 days before I was born!
Mormon add, on the gun thats powered by Magnets. Google has a sense of humour.
@RottenAtBirth you know when he holds it down? he charges the magnets in the device, after some time it disappears and there is residual magnetism there which is why it still goes up by slowly
what would happen if you built the magnet rail gun in a circular fashion? would the metal ball then spin around forever?
This is a cool little trinket. I Was actually planing on making one, However, being a firm beliver in the bigger is better idiology, i Was planing on making the magnets go 360 degrees around the barrel, and also using bigger magnets ( i think the whole thing will be the size of a M72 LAW, only to be more handy in terms of sholder fiering it, i am quite new to the whole magnet thing, and Was wondering if someone with more experience could tell me if bigger really is better?
What causes the ball to be propelled along the ramp,how do you get repulsion all the way along,is it just a steel ball rolling over a bunch of permags,makes me wonder if there is a chance of perpetual motion here.[not likely,but interesting to try for].
Congratulations you just discovered the magnetism.
A great start for future weapons
Dude awsome. U just created a prototype of a miniature downgraded rail gun!!! The weapon of the future! Thumbs up and applaud.
That is barely enough of a gun to make an infant tear up.
this is a basic concept of a Rail gun. ive seen in a movie where it shows a metallic ball was ejected at a fast pace, hits 2nd metallic ball, not only it passes its momentum, but at the same time it increases its speed as well, the 2nd ball was able to penetrate through a box...
For a gun: The magnet replaces the firing pin. The ball(if mod'd to a point or have a sharp object attached) he is pulling back on the shaft could penetrate a bullet's primer, ignite the gunpowder and project a bullet.
Very cool. Thank you for explaining!
Could you use a long track of electromagnets with a sensor near the end that deactivates them as the ball passes, allowing it to be shot forward rather than knock another ball?
@Trombonechess you're so right! this is something you'd NEVER type into the search!
@Armistotle There is a gun like that, it's called a Railgun. The germans were testing it in WWII but couldn't finish production until the US invaded.
I have a question; is there a way for you to have a magnet magnetically suspended in the air by another magnet? I've tried it, but if you're not close enough, it doesn't pick it up, if you're too close, they stick together. There has to be a middle ground where it's just floating there.
that seems to be the best magnet gun technique as you don't need that many magnets and it packs small
LOLthe image and the title steered me away from that idea
This is ridiculously awesome.
Can you experiment it vertically so ball can move from bottom to top?
Call of duty magnet edition WARNING:NO QUICKSCOPES LOL
Yes it is, in fact, I've built a coilgun using the flash capacitor in a disposable camera. For about $20.
Bonjour,
juste une question. La rampe permet de faire avancer la bille sans apport d'énergie.
Imaginons que l'on crée une rampe qui fasse le tour de la terre. La bille tournerait-t-elle indéfiniment ?
Question: Is it possible for that magnet to shoot off of the rail instead of having it hit a pebble?
I can assure you our friends at DARPA are working on such a gun. That would be the ultimate weapon, completely silent, even a suppressed firearm isn't completely quiet.
cool you got your own railgun :D
Hi, this experiment would be successful if I use neodymium magnets instead of normal square magnets?, greetings
Pro-Tip:Use a row of spherical magnets on a (Optional:downward slanting) track, then roll a spherical magnet into one side, the one on the other side shoot off MUCH faster than your marble.
Looks good on the horizontal axis. Can the ball do that on the vertical axis?
how did you fasten the magnets? and how strong are the magnets? both the sphere and the cubes?
Any reason you stopped the ball used for propulsion and used a separate projectile?
Can you make a perpetual motion machine by having the ball roll down a channel back to the base of the gun?
Its like a handheld mini rail gun
I can see how this can be applied to solve everyday situations...
Seriously, I need to see this running in a circle form. Friction and gravity is not that of a problem, magnets can overcome those. It probably won't be perpetual, but I still want to see someone laying it in a circle and see what'll happen.
The power of earth magnets..cool stuff
Why does the ball accelerate but then stop? All the magnets on both sides are pointing the same way I presume, I have watched many of these video's. So all +positive on one side and all - negative on the other, they want to pull attract the magnet in the beginning but at some point they change their mind and say "not so fast, come back here" what's up with that? What makes them go and then stop under the same conditions?
this just might be the very distant grand father of the gauss rifle
I wonder if it would increase velocity (I imagine it would) if the magnets were arranged to create a field that spiraled forward (so, zig-zagging from end to end, and magnets run in a ring that completely encased the unit, likely spiraled to create forward momentum)... would then the velocity be exponentially increased? What if there was a charge set up (electro-magnets)... or perhaps rare-earth magnets? This is a really neat little experiment! I wonder how it's advanced in the 3.5 years since?
Technically, what happens if you get ur finger stuck between two strong magnets. How do you "sort" it?
Your best bet is to slide one of them sideways, rather than trying to pull them apart.
How did you make an acceleration ramp ? Orientation of the magnets ?
This is kinda how a rail gun works!
ils s"attendais simplement comme d'habitude à voir un véritable gun c'est tout ...
Every aspect of this device scaled up then deployed in an orbital satellite would give some serious power to the controller.
