Hence BILL MULLERs famous statement that every magnet is a >motor is absolutely correct." [snip] Of course a magnet stores energy. It's equal to the volume of the magnet times the magnetic energy density (often measured in MGO). However if you work it out, it's pretty trivial, even for the strongest of magnets, and certainly doesn't make them contenders for energy storage devices.
1 MGO is about 8 Joule / L. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/Project.html
