like a Gauss cannon?
i don't remember the whole theory or whatever behind it but it uses electromagnetic pulse to propel a projectile or something like that?

Magnetic force is much much stronger than gravitational force. Because the ball bearings are beside each other the force of the impact is transfered to the front ball bearing through newtonian physics.

This is different from an atom smasher which uses electromagnets and collision in a different way.
