What I took from the wikipedia article on conservative force was that magnetism somtimes meets the conditions for being a conservative force and sometimes not all the conditions are met. That's how I read it, maybe you view it differently. Maybe nature left a little loophole here or maybe not. I would have to find more reading on the times magnetism is not a conservative force sometimes.

In the section entitled http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_force#Mathematical_description, it gives three equivalent conditions for a vector field to be conservative.  Magnetic force always satisfies condition 2, but is not a vector field and therefore cannot satisfy conditions 1 or 3, as it wouldn't make sense mathematically. 

Best of luck with your research.

I would like to know and I intend to find out soon for myself is once the ferrite is 'active' and the moving mag comes into closer proximity to the ferrite how much energy does it need to make it 'non-active'. This is a genuine question ( newbee you see, and trying to learn something NEW ).  I've seen the vids (demo's)  and this have not been addressed by anyone yet that I'm aware of 

If you are for real, i'm uploading to the tube right now (just for u and maybe 4 others?) sumding dat mite help, i dont wanna post it here because it's a quick mag explination? I'm a complete idiot really. youtube X00013 ,those r zeros, not o's,,,,,,,not that i have anything against o's.

@ exx, (my rep, checks in the mail)    i did what u did, the only diference is i took my camera off of "record in stoned big blocks" setting,
