Sorry, I just took your link with the time code and cropped the unnecessary url to get it to work for you Ped. It works and starts at the van de graff for me. :thinking:

I don't get it. If the whole idea was to just stick these two magnets together, they sure went about it in a circuitous manner.
After some thought your method might work but it's still complicated because it requires many parts. A variation that would work in theory using your idea would require two parts: the cylinder and high tensile rope in place of the slats.I would place them in a nonmagnetic cylinder at opposite ends. Then, if you wanted to control the force they came together I would add very smooth, lubricated slats that could be removed by force against the cylinder. I'm sure I could come up with a different way, but that should work better than wood and plastic.
Another method could be had if one could weld rings to the outside faces and using a hydrolic jack, bring them closer together until they just touch.
