The converse of this is, of course, that the definition of insanity is trying to same over and over and expecting different results. The truth is, the entire Universe is made of electricity and we have only to learn how to harness it, motivate it, channel it. Don’t worry — it will come to us when we’re ready (just about now). Just as archeologists have, with some chagrin, had to retract their previous beliefs on how old intelligent man really is (millions, not thousands, of years), electrical science will have to retract on the Law of Conservation — it is simply not true. Or I should say, it “will no longer be true once the previously undiscovered energy types are discovered.” Huang Long, ZHANG Weihua, Chen Jinmao, et al.: Journal of Mechanical Engineering and Technology 10(3), 19 (2021) Thank for you for this. It is interesting to see that you are also using Neodymium magnets, although in a different way to the other posts I have found. I have already taken delivery of some 4mm radius x 1mm deep magnets and have tried glueing them to the tops of the sleepers; unfortunately, whilst this works, it is not reliable. However, it seems that you have had much more success mounting them between sleepers, so that is what I will try next... I do have a question though... You write in your blog "Each strip must be mounted with opposing poles to allow the couplings to move in operate directions"... Are the magnets marked with their poles? The ones I have here are simple silver discs, so I don't see how you can tell...

This isn’t free energy though. That antenna will put a drag on the moon and if you made enough antennas and had them sipping power long enough, the moon would slowly stop spinning. It’s just that the amount of power behind the spinning of the moon is incomprehensible compared to what you’d be extracting, like stealing sand off the beach. You ARE depleting the beach, but who’s going to notice? If you do it every day for 80 years… eventually there’ll be a hole someone will notice. Why isn’t there already a “magnetic car” using two opposing permanent magnets shaped like a brake shoe, directly and silently turning a metallic turbine or driveshaft, without the need for an electrical generating or storage system? A set of mounting arms would simply move the magnets towards each other, and make the driveshaft spin faster. It would look like this at rest from above The wold has done a HUGE amount of research on magnetics and electromechanical energy conversion – it’s extremely well-understood technology. Efficiency of energy conversion can be quite high for particular types of motors. But it is, and always will be, the case that energy must be put in before it can be taken out. Don’t think so? How much money, power and control would be lost world wide if people no longer needed oil, coal, or natural gas? The world economy would crash if we had free energy to power our homes for even 1 year. just make sure the attraction level for each roller to core are equal in every level after utilizing fractal magnetization.Haihong, WU., Zhou, Z.: Test of all position automatic welding technology for super large diameter steel pipe with one-sided welding and double face forming [J]. Guangdong Water Resources and Hydropower (2019)

So you’re quite right –“perpetuality” (that doesn’t seem to be a word, but it sort of ought to be) is not the point. Storing and delivering energy is the point. The center core magnet will affect each roller level differently, & to balance the values you must use fractal spiral magnetization At each level of rollers. Mag wheels earned popularity on race cars for their lightweight properties and high durability. They were also seen on daily drivers, at least up until the 1960s, when aluminum alloy wheels became readily available.

FAQ on matters needing attention when using magnetic wheels

Having researched a little further, it would seem that the real problem here is the length of the Kadee uncoupler (this includes the electromagnetic type; I have both types here); using a much smaller and precise magnet may completely avoid the problem. Here is a topic I found: How does this apply to orbital mechanics? Actually, the theory of constructing a device that extracts electrical energy as an orbital body moves in and out of a magnetic field is very sound and would work. Sadly, Earth’s magnetic field prevents this from working on earth. A moon of Jupiter, however, could pull this off. Many have said, “but this violates the conservation of momentum! The planet keeps spinning!” Actually, it doesn’t. There’s two sides to the story of orbital mechanics.
