I've noticed that gears play the major part in supplying energy

AI Thread Summary
Gears are essential for converting various energy sources into mechanical energy, but it is possible to generate energy from electromagnetism without them. The discussion highlights that while gears facilitate energy conversion, they are not strictly necessary for harnessing electromagnetic energy. The effectiveness of alternatives, such as spinning magnets in coils, is questioned, with concerns about their practicality and output. The conversation also touches on kinetic energy applications, like kinetic watches, which utilize minimal gearing. Ultimately, while gears play a significant role, there are methods to produce energy without them, though their efficiency may be limited.

Iv'e noticed that gears play the major part in supplying energy -- that even though we can get energy through solar-wind-water applications -- with the exception of solar energy -- we are grounded to converting this energy into mechanical energy.

Is there a way to tap into electro-magnetism without gears ? can i just have a magnet spin fast enough in a coil to produce enough energy to demand without gears?

Your question makes no sense. Try again.
 


I think the OP is asking if you need gears to get some sort of useful energy from electromagnetism. The answer is "no."
 


are you speaking about kinetic watches? b/c its only a little gear acting as a pivot point to an off-center weight. and what about wind? why the gears too? the flashlight that you shake?

are you speaking of this as useful energy? at best 4 volts. not useful
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
