Pollution is a topical subject, not least because of the effects of climate change and the US’s refusal to sign up to the Kyoto treaty. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that if our planet is to remain habitable, we cannot continue burning fossil fuels at the rate we are. An alternative energy source is desperately required.
Yet, the joke of it is that we have a ready source of energy – magnetism. The poles are the power source on the earth. Accepting that the magnetic North and South Pole control and regulate everything on our planet, why not harness this power to our benefit in the form of a magnetic motor? A motor, which if I’m right, would point the way to solving another of man’s major conundrums – that of perpetual motion.
What is a magnetic motor and how does it work?
1) Simply put, it is a motor that works the
opposite way to an electric motor where instead of pulling the armature around, the motor’s armature is
pushed around i.e. the magnets shown in the drawing are mounted back to back pushing away from each other.
2) To determine the space between the magnets, hold one magnet down and move the other magnet from the side towards the first magnet. As soon as resistance is incurred, this is the correct distance.
3) Using hypothetical figures, when the moving magnet tries to pass the stationary magnet, it will meet a one pound resistance per set of magnets i.e. 6 magnets = 6 lbs resistance and once they have passed over the centre of the fixed magnet, they supply 6 lbs of thrust which adds up to a no thrust gain. However, bearing in mind that the flywheel weighs 6 lbs, it will require a push in order to overcome the 6lbs resistance, which will then self generate 6lbs worth of thrust on each revolution, culminating in the motor attaining an incredibly high speed within a short space of time.
4) In theory, the motor is unstoppable short of extracting the armature from the magnetic fields them. Obviously, the high speeds would bring engineering challenges such as bearing life, the insulation of the magnets by using non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel, aluminium, carbon fibre etc, but must ultimately represent a fairly simple way to drive generators to power the world’s insatiable demand for electricity.
I have a simple drawing of what I’m suggesting, but unfortunately, for some reason, this website will not accept my drawing which has already been pasted into a word document.
