The Next Great Invention?

Non-sweat bread.

Non-sogging cereal.

I liked the first and fourth ones Titus...try and make the first one, patent it, and sell it and make yourself rich and make us Zelaronites wish to achieve the greatness you gained.

I've been working on a project/invention for the past 13 months. It has alot to do with Propetual montion devices. I've been using magnets, sounds waves, water, wind, heat, trying to find out the most potent energy source. I've found a few tricks where I can get a magnet to spin on a pin forever as long as its not touched, but I need to find a way to make this on a much larger scale, where I can attach gears to it and make a small motor turn over. When I can accomplish this, mass produce it. I WILL BE RICH. And yes, I've drawn up a small basic outline of the possible look of it, and my Uncles attourney has assigned a date in August when I can present it to be patented.

I don't know if you're just wanting a non stop motion device, or an endless supply of energy. If i remember right they have already done both. There's a rather eccentric fello (nick named peterpan of all things) who has re-discovered the original battery. It's a crystaline battery cell that picks up latent energy and converts it into an electrical charge. In theory, it doesn't run out of power since it neither stores nor makes it, it's merely a conduit for what's already there.

Yes, but thats just a form of energy. I'm looking for a motino to create the energy and keep turn the energy into possible electricity. You can only do so mmuch with a crystalline battery.

D3v, we already have perpetual motion shit...the problem is that even if something goes forever, once you tap into that energy it will quickly go away.

Perpetual motion examples? A) the moon. B) NASA once had a shuttle orbiting the Earth and they extended a wire a few miles into space. The idea here was to generate an electric current from the wire going through the Earth's magnetic field at a high speed, much like a generator works. They generated so much electricity that the wire melted. Of course, if you actually put this electricity into use, the counter-magnetism that will be generated will eventually slow the shuttle down and bring it to a gentle crash into the Earth. So the shuttle would have to keep outputting the same amount of thrust energy as electrical energy being consumed, thus the Law of Conservation of Energy taking effect. In other words, energy is not free...ever. Something somewhere is using up its energy.

However, if we get more philosophical, you can get energy that's seemingly free. For example, the sun. Sure, the sun will eventually run out of energy, but you'll be long dead by then, so what does it matter to you? It's free energy from your perspective.

I win.

No no no no. Actually, gravity will eventually pull itself intowards itself and explode. As it did trillions of years ago. (big bang?) . And we're not talkign anything philosophical, its more mathamatical.

But there is some work , a magnetic shield engine. Magnetic shielding materials are available. They aren't perfect shields, but for the purposes of this motor they don't need to be perfect.

A freely rotatable armature in the center consists of a permanent magnet partly covered with a magnetic shield (solid black). The shield has openings at the right, near the poles. An outer ring has magnets in a radial array with their north poles inside, firmly fastened to a rigid frame. These magnets are long, so the south poles are at a considerably greater radius than the north poles. The magnetic field from a magnet pole decreases in strength with distance.

The shield apertures permit each armature pole to "see" only a couple of the magnets of the outer ring. Each armature pole is affected primarily by the north poles of the ring, those being nearest. Therefore, in the position shown in the picture, the N pole of the armature is repelled, experiencing a force to the left. The S pole of the armature is attracted, experiencing a force to the right. These two forces make a couple, which rotates the armature clockwise.

Classic simplicity! If you wanted to improve it, those outer magnets could be swung up or down so they were in a cylindrical array of magnets with their axes parallel. Then a similar armature could be placed in the plane of the S poles, operating on the same axle as the armature in the plane of the N poles. This should double the power output!

That's why the crystal power cell was so neat lol.

If you want any kind of infinite energy machine, wait a thousand years and see if humans figure out how to tap into singularities. Lol
