Free Solid State/mechanical energy

Its hard to keep up with all these posts.  I can only respond when I get home from work. 

barbosi, to address some of the questions you raised, I don't think anyone can fully answer them.  I feel that energy is the universe.  But energy can take on only two different forms, potential and kinetic.  You can have them both at the same time, or one after the other.  But energy will only be in either of these two states.  When it comes to energy transitions, there is no void.  How those states interact is like you said, in the eye of the beholder.

When I said that magnetic fields were the kinetic side of the universe, I didn't mean the universe had sides, I meant that the magnetic field was the rudimentary state of kinetic energy.  I feel there is no lower level that kinetic energy can be manifested as.  A moving mass is a higher order manifestation because at the core of the mass there are both magnetic and electric fields keeping each atomic piece whole.  Every atomic and subatomic particle ever studied IS an electromagnetic wave, we gave them names such as electrons, protons, neutrons, quarks - all are simply kinetic and potential energy interactions.  Each can be dissected into smaller particles, which are really dissections of their electric and magnetic entanglement.

As for torsion pendulum's, there is never a void when it comes to the energy itself.  There are neutral spots in the fields.  There would have to be.  You will find that at each kinetic void, there is a potential maxima.  And at each potential void, there is a kinetic maxima.  There is no such thing as "stillness" there cannot be, there is no void in energy transformation.  It is either potential, kinetic, or both - never none.

Why at that moment of stillness there is the maximum stress (potential/pressure)?

Hehe, you answered your own question, because at the moment of kinetic stillness there is all potential energy, and zero kinetic. 
 
Its like this, the universe is isolated, the energy in this universe cannot go anywhere.  The universe as a whole is frictionless, nothing can escape because there is nothing outside itself.  So the energy is locked within, the energy placed here by God - whether this energy IS God (which I think Erfinder is alluding to and which I fully agree with), who knows - but it is here and it cannot and will not leave.  It will only transition endlessly from one state to the other.

Ed Leedskalnin's perpetual motion holder reminds me of a magnetic capacitor.  You can hold the flux for a very long time but when you break the path, you change the magnetic field and convert the kinetic energy to potential energy (aka the voltage that appears across the coils).  And with coils that large, I imagine that theres quite a large amount of flux, which would explain its ability to hold up 30lbs.

However, this got me thinking, what would happen if you removed the coils from the core after applying the flux.  Then moved the bar away without the presence of the coils.  Would the flux remain like a permanent magnet or would it still be lost?

From the above link:

A friend of mine is an electrician and he was able to scrounge up two five-hundred foot rolls of 14 gauge wire. Although Ed?s specifications called for 16 gauge wire, I decided to go ahead and make the two coils (aluminum core). After wrestling with the wire for hours, they ended up working out great. It all worked out quite well; that is, according to its originator - achieving a perpetuating magnetic current in the core of the metal.

To prove the experiment I wired the coils (when the device is in a perpetuating state, the coils can be manipulated in any way and even taken off) to a light bulb and broke the circulating current, demonstrating to the professor the amount of light that would flash in the bulb.

I then set the current in motion again and left it in his office for a week. The professor agreed that the same amount of light came out as did the week prior.

Hrmm, yea but he didn't remove the bar when the coils were taken off.  Or if he did he didn't say what affect removing the bar without the coils achieves (if any).

Wouldn't disconnecting the coils from eachother be akin to removing the coils in your scenario Charlie?
