LaFonte Group can turn off permanent magnet without work

[Magluvin]

I think it could work as a motor with commutator and brushes or optical and such to cause ac to the coils in sync with the rotor. If 1 pole is centered with a gap, of you apply current to the coil, the magnet will be attracted to 1 shell of the stator and repelled by the other. I can see it.

So there just might be a resistance to the rotor due to a load on the pickups wanting to reverse the field.
i had good thoughts about this before the pickup coils came into play.  Showing an iron ring lock then drop, will not show what happens with the loaded pickup coils.

Will have to see it.

I think a motor like this would be bad because at partial load there
would be no back emf...and the magnetic field internally would be
unidirectionally increasing.Motor are already near 100% eff. A motor
actually benefits from back emf.

Like I said, UP not off.


One may as well attempt to tap the Coriolis force with such compartmentalized imagineering.

Wow, Butch and friends, really cool principle.

This should definately work !

Please don´t build it too small otherwise you will have too many losses.
But this should really violate the Lenz law and be a dragless generator ! Well done !

Hi Paul-R
Is Butch saying Lenz's Law doesn't apply,when used as a genny?

Err ... um...he won't mind me quoting:

"The lenz reaction still takes place, but it does not effect the rotor. No drag is induced on the rotor...Please tell those guys to look at ALL the switcher videos. There is one that shows what effect the coils being loaded has on the rotor, absolutely none".
