Hello Floodrod,

So are we...Open Source.

About your demo...this is a way of making it simple and obtain exactly same effect.
Now magnets shape may vary...as you may have independent magnets, fixed, and set at equal distances as bolts are on rotary black drum. (more likely that is the way you have it...because the slight cogging whenever rotating black, closed up drum)

I did it on image with arc magnets for sake of simplicity...for demonstration.

And of course, Steel Bolts are not permanently magnetized, but "temporarily" depending on the spatially nearest magnetic pole...

Edit: with Arcs like on image, you will have much less cogging...or "jumping" tendency when rotating drum.

Take care

Great job Floodrod.

You have found a way to get past the sticky spot.  I have modified Ufo's drawing for an idea to make it a self runner.  The two arced lines I have added are steel plates.  The magnetized bolts should be attracted to the plates until they get to the end where they are no longer magnetized which should let them go right past the end of the steel plate with no sticky spot.  I hope you will try that idea soon and let us see the video.

Hi Carroll,

I downloaded your picture file but cannot open it with any picture file viewer, unfortunately.  Error message say invalid bit-picture or corrupted file.
Perhaps try to convert the original file into JPG and upload it?

Thanks,
