I have tested SUCCESSFULLY two linked SMOTs :

I have linked two SMOTs ( V 1.02 ) devices, each SMOT is composed of :

• 2 Magnetic RAMPS :
  • Each ramp : 15 magnets in 3 layers of 5 magnets,
    • Ceramic Magnets( ferrite ) : 25 x 40 x 10 mm
    • A wide steel backing : 25 x 200 x 4 mm
• 25 mm steel ball ( weight 70 gr )
• 20 x 20 mm aluminum U channel
• Plywood and cardboard for the base

Magnetic ramps spec :

• Input gauge : 70 mm
• Output gauge : 58 mm
• Height of slope : 25 mm
• Length : 180 mm (slope) + 30 mm ( entrance ) : total length : 210 mm
