<P>He didn’t use the same physics book that I did.</P>
<P>True, but most physics books leave a lot out – unfortunately science is as susceptible to politics and backstabbing as any other field. In the 1920’s Goudsmit and Uhlenbeck found that electrons spin at 1.37 times the speed of light…

A lot of people stand to GAIN a lot of money if this could be scaled up – or down. How about a cordless drill with no batteries that will run forever?<P>He didn’t use the same physics book that I did.</P>

A lot of people stand to GAIN a lot of money if this could be scaled up – or down. How about a cordless drill with no batteries that will run forever?Yes, some people could profit hugely off technology like this – electric generation companies for example. But right now that isn’t going to happen for the same reason that nuclear generation has kind of stalled. The companies that generate electricity are too deeply invested in coal powered generation to deviate too far from that path right now. Several of the large generation companies have a big hand in coal mining too so leaving coal behind would hurt two revenue streams.
Once coal generation is too expensive because of environmental regs and if/when the costs of building a large scale magnet motor would have an equal or greater ROI than the ROI on building nuclear generation plants then we will see certain industries branching off in this direction.
I also replied to your PM.

Those motors are close to net zero energy to run, but to be useful, it would have to be a net producer of energy

I see no mention of friction robbing out the energy. Anytime something moves friction takes its share. Friction with air or friction with other surfaces.

there was no friction it was heated through magnet energy.
The main problem to the motion energy consideration, like the pudendum, is once you place measures to harvest the kinetic energy of the ‘swing’ it won’t recover energy sufficient to start the swing again at the end.
Is that like a –PENDULUM–???
Why are you yelling at me

</P>Sorry, not yelling.
I was emphasizing what may have been (or not?) an interesting typo. Maybe it was missed, even so?If I understood what they were saying I would not be a carpenter.
Always learning, and some teaching along the way.
pretty interesting concept, very neat. makes as much sense as windmills do. let nature do the work naturally.
I’m all for free energy.
No mention is made of the energy it takes to run the motor that spins the magnets or to run a radio transmitter with enough power to disassociate water into oxygen and hydrogen. With the radio transmitter, salt water doesn’t burn – the salt gives a more controlled amount of impurity to the water – sort of like antifreeze does. The hydrogen burns. You can do the same by letting steel wool rust in water and capturing the gases generated – it’s just a lot slower.

That’s it right there in a nut shell

You should come here during black fly season, when working in the bush no need to bring a lunch.
I believe there are motors designed already that are can produce power without paying for some kind of fuel, free energy

I think what @Toolshead is saying by “There Ain’t No Such Thing As A Free Lunch” isn’t that it is impossible to create “free” energy in regards to a monetary value. The first law of thermodynamics says that energy in a closed system (the universe) is a constant, energy does not increase or decrease due to outside forces (us). Energy can’t be created or destroyed – it simply changes forms. There is no source of energy, light, matter, etc that does not draw resources from something else – that drawing of resources is the “cost” I believe Phil is talking about…

I thought TINSTAAFL Was a mod across the street. I dam good one at that.
If you want free energy you’ll have to make it for yourself. If someone else makes it they won’t give it to you free. There is some amazing technology out there. I visited a lab once where they were working on making electromagnets. Their theory was the colder the conductor are the less resistance there is so the cooled this experimental magnet with liquid nitrogen. I wasn’t able to stay for the tesing, but these guys were pretty crazy or maybe genuis.
