Question about magnetic attraction relationships.

[Nostradamus2]

... the same energy is used to take those magnets apart ...

Not really true, it depends on speed and what material are you using (hard or soft magnets), this way you can create or destroy energy.

FYI: According to the Kedron EDEN project, you should reverse the direction of your motor:

Hi,

Interesting view you got. I think you must use equal amount of energy to slide as you use to pull two magnets apart. In fact, sliding takes more energy to perform as you have great friction between the magnets. But lets say the magnets is 1mm apart so no friction is present when sliding, the same energy is used to take those magnets apart - sliding or pulling. It all depends on the shape. Two disc magnets are easier to slide apart as the surface is great and length is short. If you use two long and thin bar magnets, they would probably felt equally if you slided or pulled them apart.

Thanks Vidar.
Your right. Logic would tell us that it should take the same amount of work at any angle and that it is only the swapping of force for distance that is taking place. I would still like to see some resource of this actually being tested. Anyone know where I could find this documentation? Without building a complex testing apparatus I can't convince myself that this is 100% true. As we all know "Question everything"(chuckling...)

Like I said in my first post I'm sure this is wrong but its an idea. I have another one that I have worked on in the past that I was thinking about today. I'm going to create a new post for people to review. It uses the SMOT/TOMI track theories. I get these "logic block" and its great that you all have the patients to help by being a sounding board.
