How can The Illuminati Effect revolutionize alternative energy?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a proposed energy generation concept involving two sets of magnetic disks designed to create continuous motion and generate electricity. The idea is based on arranging magnets in a way that they repel each other, with the rotation of the disks inducing electric current in nearby coils. To maintain an imbalance in the magnetic fields and ensure ongoing motion, additional magnets would be used. This concept, humorously named "The Illuminati Effect," suggests the potential for limitless, clean energy. The conversation also touches on the excitement and optimism surrounding alternative energy solutions, albeit with a lighthearted acknowledgment of the challenges and misconceptions related to the physics involved. The participant humorously corrects a typo from "eclectric" to "electric," highlighting the playful tone of the discussion.

The alternative energy forum

With my limited knowledge of magnetism and electricity/electronics I envision creating 2 sets of magnetic disks rotating on a axle made of glass of other material with little friction.

The bottom magnets arranged with one pole facing the center of the disk on a slightly up-angle and the top disc vice versa. This would cause the two sets of magnets to repel each other and because they would continually rotate coils placed next to the magnets would have eclectric current flowing through it.

To ensure the magnetic fields would not negate each other another magnet can be placed (or two) on top of the disks which would be repelled upwards by the more powerful magnets of the disks. This would cause enough variation in the magnetic fields as to have a constant imbalance thus guarantee the continuous motion of the disks. Gravity will keep pulling to top magnet down and the disks would push it up and each other away from themselves thus continuous motion takes place thus free clean limitless energy.

I shall call this The Illuminati Effect

Why didn't I think of that?
Hey! Someone call up the Nobel Committee. I'm going to go tell the Electric Company to stick this bill up their outlet.
This is the moment they always talk about in Star Trek, no more poverty, no more fighting over oil. Let's dance and sing and leave all the lights on.
This is what Physics Forums is all about. Making the world a better place for our fellow man.
 
a limitless supply of eclectric energy. HOOOray. oh, wait a minute. eclectric? what the hell am I supposed to do with all this extra eclectric energy? Hey, can someone out there invent a light bulb that runs on eclectric energy? Please! Before the Electric company gets my letter. Someone could have pointed this out to me before I made a jerk of myself. Someone could have pointed out that in this case eclectric means "imbues an object with the amazing ability to have mass, and inertia and gravity."
 
Ooops. Sorry about that. I am very dislexic :D It should read "ELECRIC" :D
 
Much better! Put in that call to the Nobel Committee again. It's ELECRIC, not Eclectic. Hope they haven't sanded your name off the trophy already.
 
Sorry, we don't allow TD posts.
 
Similar to the 2024 thread, here I start the 2025 thread. As always it is getting increasingly difficult to predict, so I will make a list based on other article predictions. You can also leave your prediction here. Here are the predictions of 2024 that did not make it: Peter Shor, David Deutsch and all the rest of the quantum computing community (various sources) Pablo Jarrillo Herrero, Allan McDonald and Rafi Bistritzer for magic angle in twisted graphene (various sources) Christoph...
Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
