Magnetic Boat with Servo Turning Side to Side Quickly

So while stick slip effect accounts for 4 inches of motion in the first minute in the control with the help of the magnets it adds an additional 4 inches of motion in the first minute.

In theory.

But the theory is pretty good.

Here is what is happening. In the first part of the cycle the servo turns the magnets either east or west and the magnets try to point back to north and turn the boat with them. So the magnets turning north is actually accelerating the turning of the boat.

Next the boat's turning has to slow down and go in the other direction. The magnets are doing this as well and because the boat is already turning and now slowing down it's inertia drives the boat north since the magnets are turning one side north and the other side of the boat is already turning north.

Stay tuned:)
