Plastic magnet field controlled by light

[Honk]

After reading this new article we can call this a dead end solution to OU machines.
The energy going into the "light sensitive magnetism" is in the order of many thousands or millions times higher than the magnetic output.
This is a pure data storage technique at very low and rapid flux levels. Leave it at that. This idea is dead.

Ok... but what was interesting, was that you can control a magnetic field (no matter how strong or efficiently) with light.  Did you know it to be possible in the past?

@scorpile, I think the thing with this is is that it is not really controling the magnet itself, but causing the magnetic particles imbeded in the plastic to align or misalign.

And sounds logic to you?

"And sounds logic to you?"

Not sure what you are inferring to.

If you mean the aligning, that is what it says it is doing in the last article I posted. Please read that if you have not.
