The Force of Gravity is pulling on your balls at all times, whether your magnet is pulling them to one side, or not.
The fact is, your balls could be diverted with a small 'hump' lying on your track, ...giving exactly the same effect as a magnet.
Or you could use a small flexible piece of card which the balls push to one side, again giving
you the same result.
There is no extra energy coming from anywhere.
In fact, as I see it, you are using your Magnet, card, or your hump to 'hold back' the natural force of gravity acting upon your balls for a moment.
Forgive my last sentence...it just slipped out.
Hehehehe
Any one else like to comment upon the above question?
