    What if you flipped every other magnet so they're all repelling each other instead of being put into just two stacks? That would make it more like a spring, with repulsion force spread out and ramping up sooner.

      well they didnt even attempt the experiment for starters.

      @@h7opolo i think he was suggesting they try the experiment.

      The having two magnets as a UNIT, and have several of these repelling each other alternatively above and below it and more... making say 4 pairs per side. Having 3 air gaps between them... on each side. Total of 16 rings in units of 2. Each single magnet being represented by NS or SN and each PAIR UNIT as SNSN and NSNS.
      NSNS SNSN NSNS SNSN
      NSNS SNSN NSNS SNSN
      Flip 90 degrees. Add as many SNSN as required in appropriate direction to repel.
      Add more to the base unit if needed to get greater repulsion. Instead of 2 as the base pair, to got to 3 or 4 as the following. [Trial and Error, Resarch and Development] NSNSNS SNSNSN NSNSNS SNSNSN or even NSNSNSNS SNSNSNSN NSNSNSNS SNSNSNSN

      With the possibility of some Electromagnetic intervention with timing and pulse width moduation. As MOVEMENT with magnets creates ELECTRICITY! that can be harnessed and polarized to effect the best outcomes by research and development design... and CHARGE YOUR PHONE! LOL Such is the Potential Differnce... that's electricity school term for voltage between two points.

    Would it be possible to use magnets in a different way? My idea is to set up a coil around a magnetic rod which functions as a generator to produce electricity as the person is coming down. The charge could be stored briefly in a battery or capacitor and use to energize the coil, turning it into an electromagnetic that would push the person back up.

    It seems to me that magnetic "springs" would be good for more cycles than normal springs. I keep thinking about the limited life span of the springs holding my garage door up and how involved it ended up being to replace them. (those are tortional but some are tension springs) I doubt magnetic garage door springs would be practical, but who knows..with the right design...

    Now make a hybrid using both springs and magnets. I propose using valve springs from a internal combustion motor because they are extremely strong and short. Now place magnets so they repel each other between springs using several spring/magnet segments. This should allow the best of both worlds getting more travel and supporting more weight without being able to compress fully the two no matter how hard one tries. I have seen videos of newer style pogo sticks being able to propel adults to the height one would expect from a trampoline. Maybe this is the way they may have accomplish that or maybe they simply use a series of bungie cords, which would make another interesting hybrid using bungies and magnets and maybe springs all in the same unit. Might get to the place of Superman powers leaping tall building with a single bound. Stopping frieght trains? Well I will let you test that one.

      We were wobbly enough on the kids pogo stick...don't know how we'd fare on a larger one! The newer "extreme" pogo sticks use compressed gasses to achieve such high forces.

    There is now an ar buffer with a magnetic "spring" I'm curious applications where this would be beneficial over a traditional compression spring

    What is the expression of magnetic force as a function of distance? Is it a power law or an exponential law?

    really awesome video. keep them coming! my only critique would be to figure out a better microphone setup.

    It would be interesting to see what the optimal magnetic "slice" thickness would be, lots of wafer thin magnets or a few chunkey ones or somewhere in the middle. One could do the math and figure that out or if one worked at a magnet factory..... :-) There must be an optimal aspect ratio.

    Cone and inverse cone design. The magnetic field enters into itself gradually, instead of waiting to the flat stop of its physical design.
    Imagine a cone, fitting into another cone.
    You're welcome.

    Hi!
    In the following part in your wonderful blog page here you pose a couple questions. :-)
    www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=pogo-stick-spring
    "Interesting topics we haven’t fully explained"
    You notice that the spacing between the magnets on the shaft isn't equal. You also noticed an alternating natural distance of the height of the stack of magnets for every other additional magnet. These have a similar cause. In order to make all the magnets repel you must alternate the orientation half way around for each increment so you go full cycle in orientation every-two-magnets added. Your sea-saw effect also changes on an every-two-magnets frequency. As for the end magnets being further out. If an outer magnet is too close to its neighbour it cannot move away because it's trapped on one side so the other side has to move, pushing its neighbours closer a bit to equalize things. Also it would be good to analyse the force relationships between all combinations of magnets preset not just neighbours. :-)
