being orthogonal to the current carrying wire is that they form a tightly wind spiral which starts and finished at a charged particle. In short the charge particle is acting as a turbine taking in Chi-aether [chi being the Greek equivalent of X, the unknown ;-) ]at its south magnetic pole, say, and pumping it out at its north magnetic pole. Because of the obvious reciprocal relationship between E and M as manifest by the function of inductors and capacitors in electrical circuits for example, I have never been able to understand why if a spiral electric flux in a coil produces a linear magnetic flux along the axis of that coil, a magnetic flux in a high permeability magnetic coil doesn't produce a electric flux along the axis of that magnetic coil. I have no idea how easy it is to produce a magnetic coil - or indeed if it is practical at all - but its such an obvious thing to do that I imagine people must have done it and found nothing interesting. I now realise that I am possible looking at things the wrong way. The electric helical flux produces an effect one hierarchy down, i.e. at the magnetic flux level. Therefore one might expect a magnetic flux to also produce an effect one stage down. But what is one stage down? Perhaps it is gravity. So although SMOT is experimentally as vacuous as a man trying to fly by flapping his arms, the intuition underlying it is >perfectly reasonable. Frank, the spiral ring helix observed in a water vortex is, as Schauberger stated, a " reverse flow". Centrifugal and centripetal forces within the confines of the parabolic cone of the liquid spiral scream to us that the inner face " must" be smooth. It is NOT, it is ringed with spirals. Magnetic lines of force acting on metals shavings may not show the opposing force like a water vortex simply because they ARE one stage down, Smot may have given us a glimpse. Richard |
