Well after 3 years and more then half a dozen
failed experiments, at last I can show you proof that my theories are
in fact correct.
Please read the text FIRST, then view the
video clips, located at the bottom of this page (quicktime format)
which are currently downloading.
Left: This view shows the outside
and underneath side of the Aluminium surface used in this
demonstration.
In the first clip (bottom of page) you
can see two aluminium blocks rolling along the bottom of an
aluminium trayed tiptruck (at a slight incline, picture
left), the larger block consists of 2 seperate cylinders,
each containing magnets arranged to give rings of North and
South poles. One block contains six magnets, the other
twelve.
Right: The second block (the one
on the right) which appears in these video clips is a solid
block of Aluminium, and is included as a control, to show
that the magnets do make a difference, and are the cause for
the increased acceleration. Hence proving that magnets can
do work!
Left: The bottom block is solid and made
up of the same Aluminium as the top block, but
contains no magnets.
Right: looking into the tip truck through
the opening at the rear end.
Movie one showing pure Aluminium and
magnet containing aluminium blocks side by side.
Clip One
First Run
The roller in front is
the one containing the magnets, and according to my
interpretation of Lenz's Law, should accelerate faster the
one at the other roller which is made only
from Aluminium. As this is in fact what happens, it proves
my theory correct.
Second run
Clip two
Second Run
Once again the front (nearest to camera) roller contains the magnets
For the sceptics and those not understanding the
laws of gravity, may I remind you that the force of gravity acting on
these Aluminium Cylinders is precisely the same 9.8 metres per second
squared (g). Hence the only other force affecting this experiment is
that exerted by the magnets!
For those of you worrying about the laws of
thermodynamics, may I remind you that thermo means heat, and dynamics
means motion, hence the laws of thermodynamics refer to motion
resulting from heat, eg internal combustion engines. In this
experiment heat is not used as the force of propulsion, but rather a
magnetic force is used. Accordingly, the term Magnetodynamics could
be used (although not yet defined) to describe this type propulsion,
and resulting motion.
