a new kind of visible radiant energy?

[david lambright]

expirement
i had a limited amount of ferro fluid but was able to achieve constant flow. the way i did this was to submerge the siphon tube, then carefully keeping both ends in the fluid, bring the inlet of the tube to the top of the magnet/ferro fluid. by keeping the outlet in the fluid, it does not matter if the inlet gets too close to the magnet. then i carefully raised the inlet to the surface of the fluid and absolutely got a constant flow of FF through the tube. if i narrowed the inlet it would help, but it worked! if it were not so messy i would try to film it. i ask that anyone trying these experiments use ALL safety precautions/protection. but it did work!........david

       this is a diagram of an experiment i did. if you imagine a flat rubber sheet and the magnets as being dents that allow the ferro fluid to puddle. any place on the surface of the FF around the neo magnets, is EXACTLY like the level of a pond or lake. the small magnets are like a trough leading to a large pool, [big magnet] all of it having the same level, the pool being deeper and wider. there are only 2 forces, attraction/repulsion. i DID this experiment and it absolutely works. a constant flow machine. this flow must be started, not self starting. the ferro fluid will easily climb 2, 5, 10 feet, up a neo magnet chain....david     http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/822/continiousflow.png/

Sorry David, this WON'T work forever as you have stated.  Whilst I agree that it may work initially for a short while, you will find that it will fall victim to the old enemies of friction.  Ferrofluid is the weak point here.

Ferrofluid is like a fine silt and of course you have in an oil, the magnetic particles held in suspension.  As they rise along the magnets some of the particles will immediately adhere to the magnets whilst the main 'flow' continues on its way.  With each 'loop' more and more particles will drop out of suspension and stick to the building 'silt bed' of particles adhering to the magnetic core until the stream is flowing much slower and drawn only by wicking.

Besides....you can't draw any usable power off this.

...........i love it when someone tells me i CANT do something...did you come to your conclusion by actual experimentation? so if i leave a magnet in ferrofluid, the oxide particles will settle?.....why do you say i cant draw any usable "power" from this?...i disagree. a liquid falling on a water wheel will most assuredly cause it to spin. as far as i know a spinning shaft can be used to drive what ever you attach it to....what is not usable? what kind of power do you refer to?....anyway i look forward to making a video, of this "not" working...but when i do, i do not think it will be good enough for some people,[you]. it wont make "power", or not enough, or the "wrong" kind of power. if you want, and you look hard enough, you can find fault in anything, some people are just that way i guess. i think back on how many times in the past someone has been told "that will not work", and went on to make "it" work, what it breaks down to is this, you cant......I CAN, because i believe i can, and i will not give up cause you say i cant, or that wont work...how many great discoveries were made even though some naysayer with ZERO imagination or vision said it cant be done? one more thing, even if the particles of oxide settle, a moving fluid will keep a channel open, but this flow is all at the SURFACE, look at it like this, the magnets are a super efficient WICK right? you said yourself it is drawn up by wicking and the nano-particle ferro fluid seems to stay in suspension pretty good.....dont get me wrong, i value negative input as well as the positive, but regardless, i will not be influenced by naysayers "cant do that" or "that wont work", because i believe in myself, and i CAN!   .. .  . .   .david

Whoa David...relax and take some more medication or something!

I dont believe there was anything anywhere in my post that was negative to YOU personally, nor did I say that YOU can't do something.  LOL.  Oh man...bully for you, go knock yourself out with it, I don't care.  My post was an honest critical look at the mechanisms of the process (flawed as they are).  If that happens to be positive or negative and you can't take it because it is some baby you hatched, don't wail about it.  How are you ever going to survive peer review in the real world if you behave like that?

1)  Yes I have experimented with ferrofluid so wasn't talking out of my arse
2)  Of course a water wheel can perform work but at what rate is it going to spin?  VERY SLOW (plus you still have to attach a load).
3)  The process WILL eventually stop.

But hey...don't take my word for it....hop to it and see for yourself.

You and BruceTPU would get along great.  I worry about that guy.  Maybe he has hung himself after figuring out there is no OU from his paralleled 'Super coils'.  LOL  Yeh...thats a guy that can't handle the truth after a few people have tried to point things out.

Whatever.
