I was unaware of the PPM rule. I will discontinue this thread. Before I go, though, I want to express my appreciation (it is good to know my crazy ideas are in good company). I genuinely thank you.
Hello Dave,
Thank you for responding. I am certain that the minds from which I borrow this concept would have imagined a workaround by now if one existed, but (for my amusement) is there anyway the drag (or anything) could be added in place of an insulator? The system of which I am thinking is...
Hello Dickfore,
1) You do not need to be capable of understanding the diagram, as you have answered my question perfectly. If nothing can damper a magnetic field enough to allow gravity to overtake the bottom magnet, then the system could never work. As magnetism is exponential with relation to...
Hello Dickfore,
Thank you for replying. The work of the system is performed my the moving magnet (next to copper, producing alternating +- fields). The insulating material that moves between the magnets would hypothetically be what interrupts the attractive field. With no attractive field...
Hello,
Please forgive my ignorance. I am not a mechanical engineer or physicist by degree or trade (I am a software engineer). I am well aware that perpetual motion is a violation of conservation, and that (even if it were not a violation) perpetual devices could not perform work.
