Magnet Myths and Misconceptions

It's like air hockey for nerds!  lol

  I finally found the copper that is missing today from Ed's less than permanent magnet holder called a generator.   Looks like a variable reluctance generator.  His armature completes a magnetic circuit just like a set of contacts completes an electrical circuit.  The core is that iron pipe the output windings are wrapped around.  This pipe must be polarized by the Earth's magnetic field.  He then sends a wave of magnetism of varying intensity and polarization through the IRON as the armature aligns with the iron magnets placed around the circumference of the stator.   This is interesting in that there must be a delay between current flow in the output windings and alignment of the armature with the stator flux.  You could transmit power this way using steel cables instead of copper wire.  The load current would not increase the rotor drag like it does in a typical alternator. 
  In this famous demonstration there appears to be no electrical load.  He does however have a piece of iron balanced on what appears to be a transformer core.   I wonder if it started jumping around. 
  If you placed a shorted copper coil at the end of a long steel cable I wonder if it would reflect a magnetic wave.   A small amount of input over a long time could accumulate until there is alot of energy in the magnetic resonance thingy.   A few hours of cranking that deal stored up and let loose all at once could move some rocks around or power a jackhammer etc.

I like that !!
Your contributions and observations  always give pause. And this simple concept (ringing the magnetic field ??). Well that's as good an explanation as any for what Ed was doing with magnetism.


An more specific ideas on testing this ,or is a short a short ?
Thx

And to be really really hard core nerdy, the lump of putty at the end of the air track is actually a poor analogy for a resistor.

The real mechanical analogy for a resistor is a "damper."   The attached picture is not exactly what I am talking about but close enough.  When the glider hits the damper, the plunger forces oil through a narrow gap.  This will create resistance that is directly proportional to the glider speed.  So at high glider speeds you have high resistance.  At low glider speeds you have low resistance.

What falls out from this is as the glider slows down the resistance to the glider movement progressively decreases.  That means that the glider actually never stops moving because at very very low speeds the resistance is very very low.  So the glider eventually slows down to the point where you can't see it moving with your naked eye, but in fact it is still moving and never comes to a complete stop.

The wonderful world of physics!

Well, I am going to "call" EMJunkie/Chris' transformer project.  Earlier in this thread his limitations with respect to electronics were clearly shown.  There is no rational reason for his proposed setup to work.  He has no measurements to show.  It's all just a waste of time, as surely as there is no Bloch wall at the center of a magnet.

It's nothing more than a "transformer play," just like Bill Alek and countless others have made transformer plays.  With respect to free energy, a transformer is as dead as a proverbial doornail.

I think he believes it himself.  That doesn't matter, and it doesn't make a damn difference.  It's a case of leading yourself down a garden path and then assuming a "teaching/prophet" role.  The suggestion from him that you dispense with those pesky measurements for the time being is simply ridiculous.  It's also an insult to anyone that is truly interested in what he has to say.

Why?  Why?  Whhhhhhyyy?    Bahwababababaaa!!!!  <snif>
