Magnetic Logic Gate Update

We are looking for solutions and new ideas to combine multiple gates and magnets to create the desired outputs. 

After receiving comments on the repeatability and ability of our half adder to carry the digit to the next system of adding we explored with other systems and methods.

The idea that was suggested in review was to have some kind of rotational movement done by diametrically polarized spherical magnets. 

First we tried to set up a system where the magnetic marbles to rotate in between two planes where they would be held tightly. The problem that arose was from the distances between the magnets and the indication of them rotating and them snapping together was too quick. The rotational movement of one ball was not a effective way of relaying information.

We tried to draw out geometic ways to combine three magnets in a way that would produce a consistent result.

More diagrams of combining multible spheres to create consistent results or any type of gate. Magnets really only are good at creating XOR gates and srtuggle with any other gate.

We also thought about combining the rotational move of the spheres with the bars from the previous prototype.

We then tried to construct prototypes to test this idea with cardboard and two 15mm spherical magnets and the results were informative. The groups of two magnets show the polarization better than a single magnet, so we used the set of two. It works great when there are only two groups of two magnets next to each other, but we need a system that has two inputs and one output. When we used three groups of two magnets the magnetic pull of each magnet was not as a direct correlation to what was a 1 or a 0 or any directionality at all.

There is nothing here. You are disappointed.
