Wow! great progress. I wonder - if you had a VERY low friction bearing, if the rod would be able to make one complete rotation, then the magnet could enter the gate AGAIN (without any more pushing)? I know a way to produce such a bearing... would be glad to help in this small way. ("physicsprof")
What if your stators were not on the same planes. Like a circular staircase. Very nice research.

That should help This video is the first in a series.
what if you just have it be heavy and make it spin 5 times around to get enough momentum to break though a spiral vgate (360 X 5)?
won't work, EVER.
