To make it consistant, you need to make it a CLOSED LOOP. The magnetic strength of the magnet determines a lot of the power as well. Strength as in how many pounds it could lift.

If you want to try to explain it in current physics, I would best describe what is happening by explaining "static electricity". This is basicly what is happening at the dielectric, "static electricity". But it is only staying "static" for a short amount of time, when it builds up it releases. All objects based on their size (mass), atomic structure, and other properties, have their own limit of static they can hold.

When your magnet battery starts to get a steady solid reading, this means your are loosing and gaining magnetic force at a steady pace. When it is jumping all over and not steady, this means its still acting like a capacitor and losing/gaining magnetism at an uneven pace. When the magnet battery finds its comfort resonance, it equaly loses and gains magnets from the Earths magnetic field, and acts like a steady capacitor runing at its optimal power settings.

Who wants to try this for me?

One


I tried  it  using  the magnets from a hard drive and some 1/2 in square  neo's

I don't  have any  U shaped magnets  so I came as close   to simulating one as I could


I  placed  10 neo's  on the magnet  side   of  the metal  behind  a hard  drive magnet
5 north  up  ......other  5 north  down .


I used  a piece  of cardboard  for dielectric

It didn't seem to matter if I  had the magnet  or the Mu metal side  of the other half  of the  disk drive magnet facing the dielectric


The  stacks of magnets  wanted to stick together so I placed a section of  3/8 in  poly tubing in between them


All I got  On  DC was .002 V  by itself  and  .118 holding it between my thumb and fingers .

The strange thing is on AC  I got  .009 V  by itself  and about the same holding  it between my thumb nd fingers ...........but  .210  when  I held it  so that my thumb  and  fingers "   shorted " it out  between the magnet stacks

What are the variables that affect output?

What are the best ratios/sizes of the components?

I don't have any horseshoe magnets.. but what I have observed with minimal testing:

It seems thin paper works better than thick.  And smaller is better over larger

Ceramic magnets suck compared to neos.

Metal size doesn't seem to matter much. (2' x 2' 1/8" steel comparable to 1" washer) (weird)

Readings I've had range from 3mV to 50mV


Have you tried to use the apparent power?  Like collecting in an actual capacitor and then measuring what is collected?

I have already answered that.

The bigger/stronger the magnet, the more magnetic force there is to create more electricity. It's that simple.

Also, the dielectric is important. I suggest reading everything about capacitors, from Lyden jars, to current day capacitors.

I can tell you that magnetic force travels faster through dense objects than it does through less dense objects. This is why the magnetic force builds up around the dielectric, because it has trouble passing through. The effect you want, is to slow down as much magnetic force as you can, without stoping it completly. You want your dielectric to be as thin as possible, yet work as effective as possible.

I don't have all the answers you might be looking for regarding certain materials and setups, that is one reason why I posted this on here, so you all can experiment and come up with your own world saving devices. Just remember where you got the main idea.

As for lighting an LED, it's possible.
