I wasn't planning on it. My initial interest was strongly biased towards speculating on whether an asymmetry might begin to manifest in "Alsetalokin's" ROTOR/STATOR configuration if everything could be carefully choreographed with a customized gear setup. The point being to make sure both ROTOR and STATOR assembly would always be rotating in the same rotational direction and in proper sync. This could be constructed, mechanically speaking, with proper gear ratios constructed out of non-magnetic materials. However, despite my lack of funding & no shop issues, what makes me seriously doubt my own speculation comes down to a personal suspicion that magnetic phenomenon, as perceived from our Newtonian frame of reference, is conservative, energy wise. As Mr. Lawrence previously stated, the "...E&M model of magnetism is [perceived to be] conservative." I tend to agree with this assumption. It seems to me that if "conservation" wasn't maintained Mother Nature would either be constantly blowing herself up, or seizing to a screeching near absolute Zero temperature halt. Neither extreme seems to be happening, at least from our Newtonian frame of reference. An uneasy status quo seems to be maintained. It may turn out to be a very different story on the quantum level however, as we may soon discover. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
