Quote from Jake:

"Running a piece of metal through a magnetic field is exactly what causes eddy currents (anything that is electrically conductive would be susceptible to eddy currents)."

Jake, would motion between two magnets cause eddy currents in the magnets?

Hi,

I think the answer can also be yes. I remember a German experimenter, Helmut Goebkes built a magnet motor made fully from permanent magnets and his magnets got weak soon and his motor stopped. His arrangement included passing magnets near each other in repel. He and others advised him to use ceramic magnets instead of Neos. A description of his experiments is still in the files section of Stefan Hartmann earlier Yahoo mail group. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/free-energy/files/ and see folder  "goebkes magnet motor". For those who were not member at that Yahoo group I have attached the files below.  

The strange thing is that Helmut did not include in his text that his magnets got hot during operation or not. Maybe he did not pay attention at that time for checking it, he mentions the loss of strength in his Neo magnets. Nevertheless all this happened during 1999.

By the way I think Helmut is also a member here (though I cannot remember his 'alias' at the moment) and I would appreciate to read his further experiments with the ceramic magnets in the same motor.

Off hand, I would say that the soft iron that was used is the reason for the generation of eddy currents from the rotor magnets, especially through the stator magnets.  Also facing stator magnets in repel so close would stress the magnetic orientation (alignment of poles) within the stator magnets.

Ideally, you want to structure your motor so that you do not run into any opposing magnetic fields.  You also want to take advantage of both attract and repel.

It is a very interesting design though.  Thanks for the drawings.

Yes, I agree.

I included Helmut's text file before that contains his findings but noticed nobody opened it. Now I attached separately.

It's a very interesting design.

I wonder what caused the magnets to die.  The only thing I know of that will cause Neo's to lose it is that fast is heat.

This is why I believe there is an energy in magnets, not just a force. They say magnetism is a force, however you cannot impart a force on something, but you can impart an energy into a system. A force is a natural result of physical conditions, and as long as those physical conditions are the same, a force is constant, and cannot be deminished or increased. As you use energy however, energy is transformed to an unusable state, which effectively makes it expendable (I know you cannot create or destroy energy, only transform it). With magnets, you can impart magnetism in other ferrous materials, and you can expend magnetism via heat and repulsion.
