Cooling effects in Steorn eOrbo

[PaulLowrance]

Earlier I did a lot of experiments with no toroid, just the spinning magnets. There are two *measurable* effects here that I can see -->

1. Heating from air friction. The magnets slowly heat up due to air friction.
2. The magnet temperature quickly changes to the ambient temperature.

Ambient temperature is almost always changing due to the outdoor temperature, the Sun, wind, appliances, etc. There's only a short moments that occur twice per day when the outside temperature (over all) does not change, and those are the peak and lowest temperature of the day. Everything in the room has different thermal conductivity, including the dremel motor. More importantly, if the dremel has been running in the past 30 or so minutes it can be a few tens °F above ambient. So, when the dremel is first turned on, it will quickly drop to ambient temperature, but eventually will begin to heat up. Constant temperature fluctuations & gradients of objects in a room of a few tenths is common. Anyone who has an IR gun or temperature probe will see that.

So those are the two measurable effects I see. No doubt there's some electrostatic cooling, but it seems that is so small it's unmeasurable in this case. If my dremel motor & magnets are at the same temperature (less than 0.1°F) as ambient temperature, then the magnet temperature does not drop, it increases. If the dremel has been used in the last 30 or so minutes, it & the magnets can be a few tenths °F above ambient, in which case the magnets will quickly drop in temperature by a few tenths °F, and then begin to slowly increase, reaching ambient, and go above ambient.

Although, the above is nothing new & unexpected. Obviously #1 above, heating from air friction, was occurred in my video, which would only increase the toroid / magnet temperature, but in the full uncut video I use the IR gun to show the ambient temperature at various spots such as the wooden desk, and the ambient temperature was 67.2°F to 67.8°F. Yet the toroid / magnet temperature dropped to 64.6°F!  IMO this seems to be due to an unknown magnetic effect. This effect has been noted in other very similar magnetic machines such as the Adams motor, and is definitely worth investigating!

and a theory:

""energy gain from magnetic viscosity:

You need to bring the magnets together in "attraction" (no effort required to achieve this and you can actually gain and store some energy on the way in)

Wait long enough to allow the attractive field to maximize (pause is required in order to align the domains as fully as possible)

Then flip into repulsion to separate the magnets very quickly (energy required to flip into repulsion but less than that required to exit while in attraction. Use some of the kinetic energy you stored on the way in.). If the magnets are separated quickly enough, the domains will not be fully relaxed. They will continue to do so after the separation. So there will be a field of diminishing strength which can be used for a brief period of time.""

My IR gun is pretty narrow as it is, 12°. You can think of it as a 1 pixel thermal camera. ;-)

Here are further details after further analyzing my video. It is now clear that the IR gun was not pointing at the toroid. Rather, it was pointing at the magnets. The temperature of the magnets dropped 2.9°F down to 64.6°F.

So it appears all of my attempts to replicate my video were wrong since such replications were pointing the IR gun at the toroid. Hopefully today I can find out more from further experiments.

The part of half of yesterday was spent on replicating my video again. This time the IR gun was pointed at the magnets, but it showed 0.°F cooling, which is too close for comfort to say it was cooling.

Just as seen in my full video, I pointed the IR gun at the various locations to get measurements of the ambient temperature. Everything was pretty much the same as the video, except the magnets did not cool 2.9°F.

The next step is to let the magnets and all rest for two weeks and try it again.

The other half of the day was spent on making my interpretation of the Steorn eOrbo replication. That should be up and spinning today.
