Photons, QFT and electric generators

AI Thread Summary
A 15-year-old inventor claims to have created a device that generates more electrical output than input, winning a national science fair. Judges initially argued this violates the second law of thermodynamics and the conservation of energy, but the inventor contends that additional energy from magnets is not accounted for in traditional assessments. The discussion revolves around the role of photons and quantum field theory (QFT) in understanding energy contributions. The inventor seeks validation or correction regarding their assumptions about energy inputs. The thread highlights the tension between innovative claims and established physical laws.

hi, friends.
i am 15 and have made a device using electric motors and generators which is able to produce more "electrical output" than the "electrical input". i have won the national science fair with this but the problem is that the judges say i am braking the 2nd law of thermodynamics and law of conservation of energy. but somehow i am able to convince them that we are just looking at the electrical input and output instead there are more inputs from the magnets too. so that we are not breaking the basic laws of physics. and now i am reading QFT and am assuming that the little packets of energy or photon are responsible for the outcome. they are some how adding up into the total energy input which is higher then the input. am i correct? if yes pleaase explain. if no please explain.
please you are helping solve many problems of Earth with this device...

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
