Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the concept and feasibility of pure magnetic motors, particularly focusing on the idea of using magnetic shielding to create unidirectional force on a rotor. Participants explore the theoretical underpinnings, practical implications, and challenges associated with such motors.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested
  • Technical explanation

Main Points Raised

  • One participant describes their research on magnetic motors and the concept of "reshaping" magnetic fields to achieve unidirectional force, suggesting that shielding the magnets can enhance performance.
  • Another participant questions whether the intention is to create a free energy machine, expressing skepticism about the feasibility of such devices.
  • A different participant emphasizes the need for practical understanding and asks why, if magnetic motors are possible, they are not being built.
  • One participant challenges the initial claims by pointing out potential misunderstandings regarding force balance and the nature of magnetic shielding, questioning the energy source for the motor.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the feasibility of magnetic motors and the concept of free energy. There is no consensus on the practicality or theoretical validity of the ideas presented.

Contextual Notes

Participants acknowledge the complexity of the topic, with some expressing uncertainty about the underlying physics of magnetic shielding and force dynamics. The discussion reflects a mix of theoretical speculation and practical inquiry.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to individuals exploring alternative energy concepts, engineers considering magnetic applications, and those curious about the theoretical aspects of magnetic motors.

I have been doing some research on pure magnetic motors. I have seen countless vidoes on youtube.. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZI4NDrPQ2rA&feature=related ] for one. In these type of motors use the concept of "reshaping" the magnetic fields to allow unidirectional force on a rotor. they do this by Shielding the lead edge of the magnets (both rotor and stator) to change (reduced the force of )the vector that slows the rotor as the magents approach each other. Once the magnets are lined up.. the vector is pushing straight into the rotor, which causes no force in either direction, but once the magnets have passed the center alignment the vector force is now larger then the force required to bring the next magnet pass the center point...

I have made a few these shielded magnets.. and I have to say.. I'm a little... convinced that this just may work.. When I use just my hands and pass the two magnets past each other there is definely more force in one direction then there is the other.

Has anyone out there tried this? Seen this? or know how i can talk to the dude in the video?

We all dream of something like that.. but no.. I just want to understand if it's possible..
Seems to me that once you say the phrase, "Free energy", your labeled a freak, conspiricy threorist or far far worse.. This is an engineering site.. I wanted real answers from real engineers. Therory's are great, until you try to put them into practice.

I just want to know.. is this possible? simple question. Not so simple answer.
The next question will be if it is possible. why NOT build one.?
 
Well, I'm having trouble visualizing what you're describing, but my guess is you're missing an important part of the force balance due to a lack of understanding of how magnetic shielding works.

The best question you can ask yourself about this idea is: since magnets are not an energy source, where is the "motor" supposed to get its energy?
