Permanent Magnet: ON/OFF Mechanism...

No need to Humburger,

We?ve already sprayed a special cocktail of chemtrails over your house.
You?ll be back to your old ,er , new self anytime.

@Stefan

Of all the various theories and approaches I've read here in my short membership, this is the first one that may actually cause me to actually hit the workbench, or at least the phone.  Thanks for pointing out this article, Stefan. 

"..."Our discovery will enable transformer cores with tunable inductances, and permanent magnets whose ability to hold objects can be switched on and off,"..he said"...hmmm...I said.  You'd think that he, as the expert on this, might also realize (unless we are misunderstanding or it takes lots of power to do this) the MEG and PM motor aspects and possible free energy applications. 

It sounds like they are only interested in protecting the info-store applications which is very unusual if the kinds of things going through our minds right now also went through his!  I'm gonna try to get ahold of this guy and see if he's got anything he can publish.  Who knows, maybe this is the big breakthrough and he knows it and realizes it is so big he could never protect it?  Maybe he'll open-source it for all applications except data storage?  Jeeezzz...dammit....I'm starting to sound like a believer.  I better take a pill or something.

Here's a link direct to the research group website.  The research appeared in detail in the journal Nature on August 2nd and it shows how a magnet can be ?tuned? by subjecting it to a second magnetic field, perpendicular to the original.

So that's what those funny clouds are!  Thanks!  Are there any side effects I should watch for?

Your welcome!
We started to notice a slight twinge of enthusiasm, and believed
it was only a matter of time before you pulled out the soldering iron.

Side effects could include critical thinking, rational thought and a
craving for red or blue M&M?s

Side effects could include critical thinking

but it's so boring and anoying to be a knee jerk. Lets get back the the information you are trying to apply your cognitive dishonesty to.

Seeing the first post in this thread has been removed I decided to have a hunt around and I think it went along these lines below:

on/off switch for permanent magnet

Ever considered whether it?s possible to turn a *permanent* magnet on/off at will ?

Well now you can, and those who are astute enough will realise how this can be used in motors, generators etc.

How is it done ? Simply apply a 180khz square wave current directly through the magnet at right angles to the magnetic field. Only a small current is required at a voltage of 12-20Volts.

Take a magnet, and ensure any protective metal coating is removed (e.g. most neodymiums have a metal layer over them). Then connect two wires, one to either side of the magnet at right angle to the direction of the magnetic field. Use conductive epoxy to do this. Then cover the whole magnet in an epoxy layer.

Then connect these wires to a simple square wave generator circuit, capable of going up to 250khz. At around 180khz you?ll notice the power of the magnet significantly reduced (to virtually zero).

An easy way to view this is to place another magnet in a tube, in such a way that it cannot rotate. With the other magnet with the wires attached oriented with North up. And the magnet in the tube oriented North DOWN. Place the tube on top of the other magnet. Thus the magnets repel.

As the tune your circuit up to 180khz you?ll be able to the see the repelled magnet lowering as the magnetic field diminishes. Switch off the current and the magnet in the tube leaps back up as it is repelled once again. The strength of the magnet does not appear to deteriorate even over many thousands of cycles.

Note I?m talking about a CURRENT being applied through the magnet NOT another magnetic field being applied at right angles using a coil or such like.

Anyone try this jet?
