Hi there,
my first post, I've been reading and learning about perpetual motion ideas and physics for about a year now as a hobby.

I'm looking for any research on the effects of passing an eletric current through a magnet. Basically the resulting altered affects on the magnet's magnetic field.

If anyone could offer any places to search further or links / past expeirement advice itd be great to hear from you.

thanks
peter.

Peter do a search on this board "switching a magnet on/off" by Tao I believe... very interesting... I have too many things going to take on one more project.

good luck,
-art

Well i cant find the post by Tao your referring to, and he has 61 posts all up... before i trawl through them all, is his a posting about Permanent magnets or electromagnets?? As I'm only looking for Permant magnets with current passing through them info.

cheers.

Thanks Art & Mr Freeenergy.

Had a read through, very interesting though and a bit over my head. I guess i was hoping to find something a bit more fundamental in the affects on applying current through magnets to see what hte outcome was and if any change in field direction or momentum. (i know it says applying 8watts will neutralize field or a 180Khz wave), but wanting to know more fundamentals about this.

DOes teh magnetic field actually rotate/spin during a current passing through it i wonder? What about in a homopolar motor, specifically the one where the screw sits above the magnet and hangs by its pinhead to the bottom of the battery above it. The magnet has current passing through it here and we see the screw spinning at very fast RPMs.

Its interesting reading that infomration about applying the 180khz wave at right angles to the magnet produces certain affects, this reminds me of how electricity is produced being that moving a magnet at right angles across the line of copper wire produces electricity (i think). And Joseph Newmans ideas about magnetism being a gyroscopic particle which performs at right angles. And maybe a stretch but  also Ed Leedskalins writings (of Coral Castle fame), about perofrming experiments from the 'East' direction, maybe he is referring to a similar thing just a thought.
