How did you find PF?

I am an independent scientist. I am working on a way to offset the Lorentz Effect in my projects - using fractal-based twisted-pair windings in a transformer.

Can you give a reference that defines the "Lorentz effect"? Or do you possibly mean the Lorentz force?

The Lorentz Effect is what slows a magnet - while it drops through a conductive tube, such as copper or aluminum. However, it is also the reason that an autonomous Tubular Linear Induction Motor - doesn't move in 1 direction by itself (not attached to rigid ground). The physicists at University of Iowa advised that an autonomous TLIM cannot exist due to the Lorentz Effect - so I am attempting to offset the magnetic field in the wraps to the outside of the core tube. This may prove them incorrect.

What slows a magnet dropped through a conductive tube is the reaction force arising from eddy-currents induced in the tube. Is that what you label the "Lorentz effect"?

You're postulating the existence of a "reactionless drive" which is kin to a perpetual motion machine, the discussion of which is off limits here in Physics Forums.

Since the New Member Introduction forum is only meant for short introductions, I'll go ahead and close this thread. I'm already in a PM conversation with the OP on what is allowable (and not) to post at PF, since we don't perform peer-review of new ideas here.
