Zero-gravity ball sorter

I don't know how many people frequent the scenes forum anymore, but oh well.
I made a zero-gravity ball sorter. Has a magazine of 12 balls of stone, steel, gold, and wood. It sorts them into seperate buckets, no matter what the order. My old gravity sorter used springs and the weights to sort them differently, and I later figured out I could use the balls inertia and a consistent, repeatable force. If I apply the force to each of the balls, depending on their inertia they will have different accelerations and therefor speeds.
Sorry for the rant, I'm tired and not particularly good at expressing myself.
Enjoy!
