Also when the magnet pulls the ball up the wheel should turn in the other direction.


huh?
why would the wheel go the other way?
oh , I think I know what your trying to explain.
the much heavier wheel that has momentum in a direction
should be attracted by the magnet because its made of a
non ferrous material that magnets do not attract.
or
the ball should stop the much heavier wheel that has
momentum in a direction because the ball should reverse its
spin direction for some reason and this reversal of ball spin
direction causes the massive flywheel to stop and then spin in the opposite direction.

am I close?

If the magnet doesn't hold the ball, then how does it pull the ball back up?


Bill , get with it man.

the ball is accelerated by the magnet , the ball then crosses
over the strongest part of the fields that are attracting the ball , the ball crosses this strong field due to ball momentum then the ball is pulled back down by gravity and the magnet.

as the ball is being pulled back down by the magnet and gravity and pressurized air between the bar and the ball
the ball gains momentum , most likely more than
it had going up.

the ball presses downwards on the wheel as it goes up and goes down.

because the ball is spinning and placing friction on the wheel.

the friction causes the wheel to spin in a direction.

the magnet is still attracting the ball and the ball is still trying to go down even further but the constant pull of
the magnet and the spin of the ball against the wheel
causes the ball to roll up again.

Anyway I didn't see the ball moving up and down in the video.


watch the video again Bill , it may be that your brain has
blocked that part out to protect you from what it knows that you know is not possible because of the deeply rooted 3 commandments of newton in your science cult religion.

try looking at apx 1:30 into it.

the ball is clearly moving up and down.

unless your being pickey about it , in which case it really
isn't going straight up or straight down it travel's along
the arc of the wheel's tracks up and down.

from what I can see with my non science religious cult eyes the ball never stop's going up or down along the arc of the track.
