@slapper,

Magnetic reconnection is a interesting theory, but it requires a plasma density that is able to conduct current through the air. If there is current through a plasma, so plasma heats up to be a hot plasma. There was not a mention about that with a Al`s device.
On the other hand, there was a visible plasma on a rollers surface with a Roschin & Godin SEG replication, although it was a cold plasma.

Have to admit that I was reaching on this one. What attracted me to Magnetic Reconnection was images like this:

from this power point document:
http://www.glue.umd.edu/~drake/talks/reconnection/reconn_general.ppt
What I see is a set of magnetic field lines moving in opposite directions creating what could be some sort of magnetic eddys. I'm curious if these eddys could carry momentum on top of the mass rotation of the rotor and stator. These 'eddys' could be the reason for AGW. My way of applying Magnetic Reconnection to the OC Motor fails when considering that not all rotor magnets are pointed in the same direction.

I'm thinking vibration plays a role as well requiring a tuned system to function the way we would like.

Take care.

I think that vibration is needed to have a radiation pattern from accelerating charge, to collect energy from the environment. Maybe we can have better results, if we have a system, where the amount of acceleration is equal to every direction. If we have only a off center rotation, so amount of acceleration varies when the disk turns, and is stronger in a point, where the charge point turns in a elliptical path. To avoid this, we can for example build the whole device to stand on springs, so that the elliptical turn point changes.

This is a part of discussion under topic Duraluminium disk phenomena :


"When the flux of an N-pole cuts the flux of an S-pole such that the
tensor fields experience the maximum tendency to repel (pi/2), we create
an electric field in whatever gap exists between the sources of the
flux.   We will also, a priori, because of the fact that the disk does
not rotate its magnets in concentricity with those on the outer wall, be
setting up a variation of transfer of angular momentum of the
electromagnetic field associated with the electric field cutting flux
all the time the disk is turning.  This eccentricity has an interesting
locus and traces out a cylindrical path of wall-thickness equal to twice
the original eccentricity of the magnet ring on the disk (when
stationary)."

Here you can find information about nested well / particle traps, and how such a particle trap can collect energy from the environment.
