It can't have been that challenging? No comments? No calculations?, No disagreements?
Was it not understood? Yes the force should be very small (incidentally the same trick could be used for free energy, instead of 2 magnets, a primary and secondary with unidirectional coupling) but it is still pretty interesting no? Isn't a device that breaks 2 such major laws even slightly worth some interest if only as a proof of concept that it can be done? Plus it seems the effect could be engineered to useful proportions conceivably. On 1/28/07, John Berry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Ok, here is a challenge, please calculate the unidirectional force that would be created by having a 2x1 inch cube neodymium magnets (1 Tesla) separated by 2 inches in attraction. Vertically aligned Now assume that gravity is equivalent to acceleration: ^ 1 G of virtual acceleration up. (hence g force down the page) S █ N S █ N Now in the 0.000000000169 of a second that it has taken the magnetic field to get to the top magnet from bottom magnet the position of the bottom magnet has changed, but the field can't know this change in position has occurred so it doesn't penetrate as deep (it sees the new position of the top magnet but only knows of the old location of the bottom magnet). However the magnetic field of the top magnet is effecting the bottom magnet more powerfully than it should because it can't know that the magnet that created it has since relocated, and if it did that would be instantaneous communication. This gives a net thrust upwards, the only question is how strong? Interestingly if you could create a strong enough field and maybe delay it (what about those special gas environments they are slowing light with? is this not just ultra low frequency light? ;) enough then you could have something that once given an initial impulse would self accelerate! er wait, negative inertia once a certain G force has been reached!?!? Please don't tell me there must be a flaw you just can't work out yet, just tell me how plausible this thing would be to measure.
