FEMM simulation showing COP 3 and 7

[Butch LaFonte]

I have always wondered how much progress would be made if people put as much thought into trying to figure out how to make something work as they put into trying to figure out why something will not work and then just leaving the idea alone after doing so. It's good to see the ideas and people working together.
I will post over 1200 drawings of over 1200 ideas I have come up with over the years to my Flickr sight.
I will post all video's to Youtube of tests Mark and I ran, most all done my Mark after building them in his shop.
It will take months to get them all up loaded, but they will be available should anyone want to view them. There are magnet only, coil only, magnet/coil combinations, and a few other types. I will also continue posting any new ideas we come up with.
I am getting many emails and messages and I will try to answer them all in time. Thanks everyone for all the help you have given over the years. I wish I could meet you all and have a beer together!
Maybe someday,
Butch

In engineering, it is common to design one part or many parts to perform one function or one task only.  We need to get away from this kind of thinking.  We need to design a system, where each part performs multiple functions and tasks working together with other parts performing multiple functions in order to increase effiency.  For example, if we have a system based on conventional engineering concepts utilizing 2W input, but is only giving 1.75W output, then the same system being more efficient on the input side making the most use from each part, may use 1.5W input while giving the same 1.75W output.

This video will show how energy saving on the input side, can give more energy out than the energy put in.  A small particle of carboxy fullerene is placed on top of heat sensitive explosive. Irradiation with a 785 nm laser (1W) results in an instantaneous explosion.  In the absence of carboxy fullerenes, the laser with output power of 5W, failed to ignite the explosives.  ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJvh0yA69ow )

I agree, OU is an engineering issue.  Its good to see people working together for a change.  Great thread!

Please save your time and ours. Only one but working would be enough.

Yep.
Ok, But Butch is playing the tune.
Or, the Butch's group?

Win-Win arrangement.

exnihiloest, I'll say this early on irregardless of your content. Please refrain from posting in this thread which I created. This also counts for your friend spinn_MP.

Thanks.
