The discussion revolves around the concept of a dark matter motor, with participants reviewing and critiquing a proposed design linked to perpetual motion machines. The scope includes theoretical considerations of magnetic fields and the dimensionality of motors.
Participants generally disagree on the validity of the proposed motor and the dimensionality of motors, with no consensus reached on these points.
There are unresolved assumptions regarding the nature of magnetic fields in three-dimensional space versus two-dimensional representations, as well as the validity of the referenced claims about perpetual motion machines.
It is just another one of the thousands of crackpot perpetual motion machines designed and failed throughout history. This particular one is a very common design. Rest assured, there is nothing to it.dkestner said:Hi, I have an issue that I can not answer as I do not understand the subject matter.

First, let's look at the field produced by a circular ring of magnet poles of the same polarity lying in a plane. Due to symmetry and the vector nature of force, their combined field at the center of the circle is zero. But what of their combined field elsewhere in the plane? The surprising result is that the combined field is very nearly zero anywhere in the plane, within the circle. [1] In fact, if the ring were a continuous distribution of poles, the field would be exactly zero anywhere within the circle and in the plane of the circle. That continuous distribution is a useful model for further analysis.
