Magnetic flux motor just patented that creates it's own electricity!

Faraday and Lorentz would be dissapointed to learn: 

"a magnetic field does not induce a current flow in an conductor!" Well, maybe if it's static, of course.

Me too...

...
Magnetic fields do not have a flow, such as indicated by the pretty pictures of magnetic fields.
Magnetic fields do not induce the current flow in a conductor. It is the electric field that accompanies a changing magnetic field, that pushes the electrons through the conductor, inducing current flow. Once current starts to flow, a magnetic field builds around the conductor, which apposes the original magnetic field.

Hi Brad,
Well said.
Does the first sentence (my bold) equate to say magnetic flux is not a flow? I get a lot of flack when I tell people that.
Thanks,

Help me out here - define "flow".
Thanks.

SL,
I'll pass. The definition is easily found elsewhere and I doubt my interpretation of flow differs.

And maybe you're disappointed, but I doubt Faraday or Lorentz would have been with anything in tinman's post.

Not a problem, just curious how you define "flow." No big deal - we all have our definitions to work from!
