LaFonte Group can turn off permanent magnet without work

See video's on lafonte group A site and read this thread from the start.
Thanks,

I have just seen to much Discovery Channel. "In the name ov science, question everything"  . I was not very contributing in that post, but I did not mean to fight the project, but there was a moment I couldn't see the use of the switch if it is impossoble to harness energy in an overunity way. I do indeed think this is a very interesting project, with an approach that is not very common. Keep up the good work Butch. Looking forward to the final product!

Hi all.
Today I made an metal core out of very fine particles mixed with resin.
I get the material from the waste shute of a shot blasting machine in a foundry. It is almost like powder.
I sifted it with a magnet, then mixed one part of the resin in. After that I mixed the second part of the resin in, and packed the mix into the mold.
I also tested it for continuity and there is nothing at all. No buzz from the meter even with the probes at less than 1 mm apart!!!
That shows that all the particles are insulated from each other.
I made it all one piece so now I just have to cut the ends off and put some coils on, then screw the coils back in.
The core is very magnetic, and I only just coated the particles enough to bind.
Scotty.

Wow Scotty1, that's pretty gnarly dude!  It's very magnetic and no continuity, awesome.

Sorry to double post, but what do you think about this design butch?  It's the same concept as the new design you have, except the coil 'arms' extend along the rotor shaft instead of the sides.  If you added another switcher unit 180 degrees further down the shaft, the flux through the coil would be attracted to the other magnet.  I thought this might be easier and allow for more coils in a small space.

Hi Scotty,

Very, very good!  Hopefully the iron in the mixture has a low remanent magnetism remained (like a normal ferrite core has) so that it would not retain much flux when you want to remove flux from it at will. 
You can test this by trying to magnetize a small piece like a rod from your mixture with a very strong permanent magnet and then probe the rod with an office pin or with a needle.  Because the only enemy here with home built cores is remanent magnetism.
