someone probably mentioned it, but, your mosfet may have been blowing because the gate was only being fed 6 volts at the moment of trigger, which isnt fully turning on the mosfet, that high drain-source resistance is no bueno when you are calling for ALL the amps you can muster. maybe use a buffer transistor and see if that helps enough to be able to use the capacitors again. That will help save your battery from being beat up too. Awesome videos dude, glad I found your channel.
This is quite fun. Contemplating building my own, but instead of just using a fixed delay between opto-sensor and coil-turn-on, use a variable delay that depends on the speed of the ball. This will allow higher efficiency energy transfer and could be pretty easily implemented by comparing each opto-sensor with the previous one.
All of your videos are outstanding - I have watched them multiple times. I really appreciate all of your high quality work not just on the videos but on your electronic theory based projects and explanations. I can't get over your using transistors to build a binary adder. I would have used TTL logic gates - but your expertise is way beyond what I know.
This is pretty cool, could have fun with that making an elaborate "train track" system of balls, could even have diverters so they randomly take different paths. Light sensors to track where balls are and more coils throughout to boost or even slow down balls so they don't collide with others. Could be a fun project to tweak all of it.
Very nice video, explains things pretty well. The only thing I would offer a criticism on is the video's title, since by the normal definition, this is not a "ring accelerator". That name is usually given to devices that continuously accelerate something in a ring/circular path, achieving very high speeds, whereas this device only gives a little kick to the ball in order to keep it moving. Yes, it briefly accelerates the ball, but then the ball coasts the rest of the way. It is really just a novel implementation of a DC motor. I own a commercially produced product of this same kind, having six electromagnets distributed around the circular track. I have not attempted to reverse engineer the circuit on each of the circuit boards (each electromagnet has its own identical printed circuit board), but I did note which components are on each board, and from that I assumed that a simple circuit, nearly identical to what you came up with. I think that the only real differences between the two circuits is that A) the one I have uses an IR LED and an IR phototransistor, and a driver transistor (probably a BJT) between the phototransistor and the MOSFET's gate.
Thank you so much, I'm going to use your circuit design for my own, it will use 4 coils instead and should reach speeds up to at least 32 feet per second!
To help protect your FET from over-current you could put some resistance between the source and ground. This is called "source feedback" and it will work to turn the FET off when the current gets to be too high.
The ARV uses similar quartz ring, many more accelerating magnets. The content of the toroid are nanoparticles of ferrite,mercury neodymium 52 nanoparticles as well as cobalt in nano particles and Barium.The hard part is to pressurize the contents to 200,000 atmospheres. Once you get the mixture turning, as it accelerates it centers in the toroid and does not touch the walls. The mixture turns into a plasma . At that time a secondary coupled in the middle of the toroid gets electricity induced which will later bbe use for other purposes. Continue accelerating, and a corona effect will be formed. Accelerating further will cause a white glow to involve the toroid and extend outside the test bench . That is when the “magic” starts. If you have the toroid experiment setup on a piece of wood or metal, using a non ferric scale (I used a wood fish scale) as the white glow increases, the weight of the apparatus will slowly start decreasing. I managed 5-7% of weight reduction. One of the individuals who was watching me with a grin, explained to me that the white light is a field that in part or totally “hides” M from E=MC^2. Just rotating the field only goes so far Using capacitors one can make a modified Hartley oscillator that when tuned is able to completely hide the Mass of the toroid And attached vehicle to not only does it hide the mass, but it bends light around the object, therefore turning it invisible or somewhat transparent. The crafts currently made by a consortium of Boeing & Lockheed in Pasadena use toroids 10 meters in diameter! These are the flying triangles that are commonly seen. I had knoledge of the TR3-B which is the most common flying triangle see. It was able to “hop” short distances by bending space using a complex capacitor based mechanism that projected the field within line of sight. No, I am no longer pervy to the advances made in the last 30 years. Nevertheless 8:41 the new TR3-G is capable of transluminal travel by bending space over long distances. From 40,000Km above earth orbit to the Alcione Solar system in the Pleiades 240 light years away in less than 2 earth hours. You get there at the time you left. If you see a flying triangle in the sky notice the circle in the center with a white light; it looks like “an explosion that does nog go anywhere”. Too bad I was only a physician, not a physicist.

I love the compactness. Few questions, can you connect 12 coils in serial? Can you output or induce current to a secondary coil to create a magnetic field for levitation? Can you share a parts list for that beautiful driver which is like a work of art.
Yeah, multiple coils can be used. In my video on version 2 of this device, i used 4 coils, but more can be added. The working concept is the same as a coilgun which can accelerate ferrous projectiles several hundred m/s. The coil could be used for levitation if it was powered by high frequency alternating current or driven by a position sensing feedback controller. As for the parts, you can pretty much use any MOSFET, and the trigger consists of generic resistors and an LED + photoresistor. There's no specific part numbers that are required to make it work, it's all very generic
If you adjust the EQ on your audio and cut out the higher high end frequencies and use a compressor/limiter to cut out anything below a certain decibel it will remove that fuzz on your voice tracks.
Interesting to see if you could control the timing as the balls velocity increase so you can adjust the speed of the ball. Like the spark advance or retard timing on an internal combustion engine.
You could have simplified the design by removing the optical sensor and checking for a micro-spike in voltage on the coil (as a sign that the ball is in range) then quickly power it up to attract the ball and then quickly powered it down to let it continue. In this way it would work for the ball coming in either directions. Nice idea though.
Using a magnetic ball and a magnetic reed switch to control the coil, it may be possible to eliminate the electronics entirely and radically simplify the device.... Similarly, a steel ball and some light contact points that complete the circuit through contact with the steel ball....
He reminds me of a cat near the end of the video 😮Oooh dude I just had an idea; if you have cats in your neighborhood you should totally make one designed with a captive ball and show it to them and videotape it 😃
This is what scientists are missing. So have 33mile long counter rotating sphere tracks with anprojectile of neo of 66kg each. Once spead to the velocity of light then collide in an receiver area 7nit
I think it needs a capacitor, give each pulse a little more oomph and get that thing spinning around the table😉. It's halfway to being a toroidal coilgun anyways lol, at this point you might as well put a couple more stages with some electrolytic capacitors on it. Now that I think about it that would be a great way to fine tune the pulse timing and duration for a coilgun...
Who else has found for the first time that an electric motor is no different than the working principle of a piston engine? All electric motors are Alternating Current motors, without AC, the rotor is just going to get stuck in the magnetic field, so the commutator is the equivalent of the valves of a piston engine, more or less.
Why not put the optical sensor a bit further from the winding, and use a 555or 551 timer? It would speed it up earlier and you can set the turnoff time. Fun project anyway!
Using an electromagnetic acceleration gate would be interesting space tech for a non fuel dependent sling into the direction you wanna go. Build another gate on the other end to catch incoming traffic.

needs to be put in outer space so when space crafts can goes though it, it will accelerate the spacecraft without the spacecraft having to use energy and whatever speed it can achieve the spacecraft will be able to continue at indefinitely, i suggested 64,000 km an hour which will get people to the moon in 6 hours, that might not be possible but there is a speed that can be done that will work ,
But if you use 3 magnetic balls for the ring? at the same time, if you use two coils with capacitors of 10.000 - 20.000 uF to save the electrical impulse (for the further movement of the ball without stopping). maybe even try to do it more broadly? those. use many coils, but each 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 coils with a capacitor, but each 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 coils will be connected in series and used to select, generating electricity. so can you try it? but the balls appear to be magnets. ----- Or maybe even all capacitors connect use diodes but only in the same direction

Now to make a Minecraft-like roller coaster or marble machine a with coils as accelerators to keep things moving up inclines/long stretches and then gravity for downhill! Haha!
Yeah, a roller coaster type device like that is definitely on my to-do list. Hopefully I can make some coils that are powerful enough to do a vertical loop too
@@HyperspacePirate This is good kit, all plastic. Took me 1.5 hrs to build. If I follow your lead, I will add coils to this and some other thingies. spacerails.com/products/sr-1-1
It's momentum that keeps the ball from getting stuck in the center of the coil, the more the better. I wonder of tilting the track a little bit so the ball had some gravitational acceleration going through the coil, would that reduce the chances of getting stuck? Or would the problem become not making it up the slope after the coil?
When we power the coil it creates an electromagnetic field and acts like a magnet. When we put a ball, it gains kinetic energy from the magnet. The ball will then exit the coil, but the magnet is still on, so it will get pulled back until it rests in the middle. That’s why we turn it off.
Could you build a track same design but utilize the tracks surface as part of the circuit and use multiple electromagnets in segaments around the track that get activated when the magnetic ball passes by and completed their individual circuit propelling the ball through angled electro magnets that look like arrows going in one direction around the circle with the leading end being closer together like I see people doing in other videos but it shuts off halfway through the magnetic fields perfectly timed and doesn’t get stuck and actually shoots off would you be able to build sustainable torque in a circular shape design with multiple magnets all turning on as the ball completes each individual circuit along the track as it passes by maybe with some sort of insulated strip of copper along the botttom for isolated contact but Anywyas do all that and get these balls flowing super fast and build up torque then use that torque to charge the battery that’s powering the electro magnets? Maybe my question is a bit convoluted, I apologize. but I feel like the amount of energy to power the magnets gets less as it gets faster but also turns on more times then it would if it was spinning slower but I’m wondering if short bursts with building torque can equal over unity if even slightly in that hypothetical configuration.
Hi, do you have the STL file for the side clip that holds the LED and photoresistor? I don't think that one is on the thingiverse page. Thanks I love this build and the elegance of the design
Why couldn't you try to reclaim some of that inertial energy by having the balls travel through coils that generate electricity and even perhaps trickle charge the original power source?
That could work if the balls were permanent magnets, but in this device I'm using steel, so they're only magnetized when they pass through the accelerator coil
I woke up to a video about ufo because youtube you know. Could you shape a dome with a wing at it extremity to rotate and create aerodynamic lift? Aka a flying saucer 😅
make it dc acceleration track instead, and you can use carbon as conductive contact lubricant, dc lorents force, the track is the brush that make the ball the line conductor, ie, curved rail gun, dc, brushed, could be brushless if the circular-radial magnet is the projectile, coils around the track tube, air bearing
maybe keep the outside diameter positive so that the track forces the ions to stay inside (or on the outside) against or with the centrifugal force, whatever design suits the wanted functionality
Hey, I have a question, at the beginning you say that the 4 AA batteries did not work, but at the end of the video you no longer explain that part, I understand that you used approximately 12V and 6A, but if you did not use the batteries, where did you get the energy from? I mean, what type of battery or source?😅
Думается, электронику можно вовсе исключить, сделав самоподдерживающуюся систему, где сам шарик попеременно бы размыкал и замыкал цепь, прокатываясь по контактам.

@@HyperspacePirate yes
make it dc acceleration track instead, and you can use carbon as conductive contact lubricant, dc lorents force, the track is the brush that make the ball the line conductor, ie, curved rail gun, dc, brushed, could be brushless if the circular-radial magnet is the projectile, coils around the track tube, air bearing
if you use plasma high voltage to jump the wall-ball gap then you have a kinda plasma brushed motor
continuous acceleration vs pulse coil gun ring
same for plasma ions acceleration ring, where the ions roll around the ring track
maybe keep the outside diameter positive so that the track forces the ions to stay inside (or on the outside) against or with the centrifugal force, whatever design suits the wanted functionality
You didn't share the STL file for the diode holder.....
i would like to use your idea into making a motor
hey man that was so great can you please tell me which app was that from which you were demonstrating
you made mini universe
large hadron collider!
May I know the names of all the parts you need to make this?Please write as many details as you can
Put 4 so it goes super fast
Without the opto sensor can this work with a magnetised ball that you used
does the device use the same amount of energy regardless of the the type of ball in there? between stainless and the magnetic ball is it the same?
How much power does it use per pulse?
Dovresti fare i sottotitoli con traduzione multilingue
Hey, I have a question, at the beginning you say that the 4 AA batteries did not work, but at the end of the video you no longer explain that part, I understand that you used approximately 12V and 6A, but if you did not use the batteries, where did you get the energy from? I mean, what type of battery or source?😅
Думается, электронику можно вовсе исключить, сделав самоподдерживающуюся систему, где сам шарик попеременно бы размыкал и замыкал цепь, прокатываясь по контактам.
So this is the concept behind how a particle accelerator works?
Yeah, but with an electron instead of a big steel ball
How do you do it that works for you and not for me
