Attention: Brian Ahern I have been recently looking into particle chirality. In that effort, I have run across an interesting mechanism that produces charge separation and current flow when particles are chiral polarized.
This mechanism seems to be very relevant to the currents produced by Manelas and Sweet. *https://phys.org/news/2016-02-chiral-magnetic-effect-quantum-current.html <https://phys.org/news/2016-02-chiral-magnetic-effect-quantum-current.html>* Chiral magnetic effect generates quantum current once the chiral state is set it's hard to alter, "so very little energy is lost in this chiral current." *Potential applications* The dramatic conductivity and low electrical resistance of Dirac semimetals may be key to potential applications, including "quantum electricity generators" "In a classic generator, the current increases linearly with increasing magnetic field strength, which needs to be changing dynamically. In these materials, current increases much more dramatically in a static magnetic field. You could pull current out of the 'sea' of available quasiparticles continuously. It's a pure quantum behavior," Li said. Also, while this current is flowing a state of superconductivity sets in. http://www.pnas.org/content/pnas/109/23/8856.full.pdf it also seems that *barium ferrite* seems to exhibit magnetically induced chirality. Maybe both the Sweet and Manelas magnets could be chiral semimetals.
