After all the Lorentz Force (of Lenz' drag) is a force...

and the reaction should be small or even better: reversed. (though that is considered impossible by "accepted theories")...

Hi Dieter, I think it would take more work to reverse this effect than it's worth.
Instead I'm catching this effect and using it to my advantage. Which in itself is actually reducing (not eliminating) it's negative affects.

Then you should really do the little experiment I just described.

I think it was Yogi Bear who said "50% is theory and 50% experimenting". Actually it may have been Albert Einstein, but Einstein, Yogi Bear, what's the diffrence.

I have just seen something that seems to be a rotational implementation of the principle on jl naudins' site.

Regardless of how you make the field change, the point is , there is a positive field and a negative field.
Trying to only collect one of the fields negates the collection of its' opposite.
You can take your pick , but conventional methods only allow the collection of one.
I'm trying and having some progress in collecting both aspects of the coils' actions, To me that is where the answer lies.

It seems to me we're all talking about apples, oranges and what not, but nobody talks about the same thing. Furthermore, nobody seems to understand what the others say.

For instance, I didn't understand what you just said. Negative and positive fields? Do you mean electric or magnetic polarity ?

IMHO magnetic polarity is not the point, because you can perfectly induce a current by altering the field STRENGTH only while remaining completely within ONE magnetic pole. Certainly the efficiency of induction can be doubled when the field strength is altered from max. south over zero to max. north field strength, but that isn't neccessary.

I wonder if anybody actually performed the very simple experiment I described, and if anybody actually understood the impact of the phenomenon, namely the reversal of the socalled "Lenz drag" into a "Lenz drive", which is the logical conclusion, as well as the experimental observation,

or...

whether we are all just ignorant narcists who refuse to try to understand anything other than our own funky theory.

Nothing personal, but I spend trillions of hours, trying to learn how stoff works.

So I repeat this essence: induced current depends ONLY on the amount of magnetic field strength CHANGE. When the Strength increases then the coil repells the source. When the strength decreases then the coil attracts the source.

And I have explained how to arrange a magnet that causes a decreasing strength when it is approaching towards the coil, and an increasing strength when it is moved away from the coil.

I can cut the steak down to bites, but you guys must chew them by your own.

I'd love to discuss this, but I am getting tired of having the impression of not being understood, so most likely RIP thread ...

A similar approach BTW. came from Greg Watson with his RMOG, as far as I understand.
