Lets please use common sense.

@nightlife,

The rail gun is a magnet when it fires and the ball is the football in -[marco]- 's analogy.

Take care,

 Lets think about what flows through solid substances. Electricity, heat, radio waves, sound, fragrances and vibrations are ones that I can think of right off the top. All of them are vibrations and energy's, therefore energy must be a vibration.

[nightlife]

Knowing that a vibration is energy, how do we use a vibration to create more then one that is equally and or more intense then the one used?

We cant and therefore we can never create true over unity. We can however use one vibration to release others that are stored like we do by using oil, coal and water.

The splitting of a atom is prime example of energy that is stored and if we could only figure out a way to harness the energy released from the splitting of a atom, our energy problems would be over.

Resonance is the answer to that. By resonance you can destroy a bridge, a building and no added power is needed for any of those, time is the factor. It would be one way to achieve more with a lot less.

The splitting of a atom is prime example of energy that is stored and if we could only figure out a way to harness the energy released from the splitting of a atom, our energy problems would be over.

Cold fusion could do that with great efficiency but fission, too hazardous with our limited knowledge.

Take care,

-[marco]- , if you drop a ball from the top of a building and it falls to the ground, gravity is the energy that makes that happen. Gravity is like a magnet but just has a attraction to more materials unlike the magnet which only has a attraction to iron.

Gravity is not energy.  It is just a force.  What provided the energy is whatever lifted the ball to the top of the building.
