2 Balls on slope, one is faster...

[PaulLowrance]

Where did the PE go if no dam?

Into KE in the form of heat.

Did it light Las Vegas?

No, the flowing water heated the environment.

By your reasoning Paul:
Say a 5 HP gasoline engine turning a generator.
Drawing a larger current off the generator cools the motor?
After all , the PE must come from somewhere.

No, you do not understand.? Drawing more current creates a strong back-force on the generator. If the gasoline motor is to maintain the same rpm then it must increase the gas flow to generate more power.
The PE game from the gasoline.

Time IS energy!

Incorrect. I clarified all your above points.? Time is not in energy units.? In your dam example the energy came from the PE of the water.? In the gas motor it came from the PE in gas.

People, there are a few in the FE community that have a deep understanding of physics.? IMHO they are our only hope to success.? As for the rest, please do every one a favor and study.

Imagine that the 2 balls would be circle ball magnets.
Now the ball magnet which runs faster would be able to induce
bigger voltages in pickup coils.
Now we only need to find out, how also we don?t have
any drag back while the current in the coils flows.
If the faster magnet ball will have more drag back then all the
bigger voltage induction is also lost.

The balls are traveling at the same speed.

No Paul,
the lower ball is travelling faster as it has more speed !

[PaulLowrance]

No Paul,

I looked at frame by frame and measured it with calipers.  They are traveling the SAME speed.
