Well, this is NOT a perpetual motion machine, but something interesting.. from the article: ... A Zero point magnetic power generator is basically a Free Energy Generator. It uses magnets, and magnetic force to induce perpetual motion. It runs by itself, indefinitely without stopping, thus creating completely free electrical energy... A Perpetual motion device refers to a machine that runs perpetually i.e. indefinitely, and produces a larger amount of energy than it consumes. Thus, it produces free energy indefinitely, runs by itself, without having to need a third-party device or resource to power it... SkyNews vid:

You better be careful or you'll see Barney Fwank with an evil gleam in his eye, a catheter and some hoses for tapping your a$$ into the grid.
Why are you arguing with me? Go talk to Faraday and Maxell about it. I’m sorry you don’t understand the fundamentals of physics or slept through class on the day it was discussed, but that is your problem, not mine. Go buy a book and read.
Sure, it’s great...until a power fluctuation causes it to open a transdimensional gate way releasing flesh eating zombies.
Did you know Free Republic is a perpetual zotting machine?
Yes, they do look like dandelions (the spitting image of a neighbor and her niece on a bad hair day) - this is where magnetic cat hats come in. An unfortunate, but otherwise mostly harmless side effect of the miracle 24KW generators is wild hair. This especially annoys women who have allowed their hair to grow beyond a few millimeters.
Right now, we here at Cat Hat Inc. are ramping up our production of cat hats to meet the demand from the magic 24KW generators. As you may know magnetic cats play a large part in the successful and, I might add, safe operation of miracle 24KW generators.
People often ask where these cats come from, how do they become magnetic, and do we catnap them from their cosy people homes?
First, let lay to rest the totally false rumor that our cat hats are catnap victims. Definitely not! We have a very aggressive advertising campaign in place. We post our ads in places were cats are most likely to respond, and they do - in increasingly larger numbers. You may, if you were crawling around inside of some old barn seen our ads - or perhaps seen one in some alley way.
When the cat shows up at our facilities, they are fed, groomed, and purred up to the droll stage. From there the happy cat moves on to the cat magnetizer powered by miracle 24KW generators. When they emerge they realize they no longer have to lounge about in cramped quarters waiting for some bird or mouse to wander by - they are filled with new purpose and very pleased with themselves and the choice they made.
We then pack the newly magnetized kitties off to the miracle 24KW generator plants where they are installed by old world craftsmen, and then sold to the public. A little known fact about the generators is after a while the kitties become worn out and need to be replaced. When this happens, old world craftsmen make service calls and remove the tired kitties and replace them with fresh humming magnetic kitties.
What happens to the worn out cats, people ask? Don’t worry, be happy. They are fine, Since they can never be recharged to their original full magnetic power, we convert them into cat hats for homeowners use and prevention of the wild hair syndrome.
“Alas, that and my Red Ryder land sailboat wagon seemed to have been crushed by some vast Haliburton conspiracy to deprive the world of my genius.”
I know exactly how that feels - take heart you are not alone!
Do you mean quaternions?
I'm not sure if you are referring to James Clerk Maxwell's original quaternion (a field equation), or a Heavyside altered one (a vector equation).
You may know this but for everyone else:
Only four quaternions from Maxwell's original 200 are accepted - the other 196 were dismissed as abominations. And those four were changed from field to vector. Taken together, they describe the entirety of electromagnetic radiation.
As for the other 196 - they languish in obscurity since the self-educated Heavyside dismissed them in the 19 Century.
my 2.5 cents - was 2 cents but I had to raise my rates in January.
It seems that their last update was in October 2007.
It would be interesting to talk to them about what they're trying to do, but if they indeed mastered this wonderful marvel of "Science!" then we would have heard about it by now, and it would be as common as the "microwave oven."
I’ve been “following” the lutec site since about 2002. They’re always just >|< far away from going full manufacturing.
Same ole story. Now they have “paytents” I guess they can go forward.
I’d really love for this to work. I’d also love for UFOs to land on the White House lawn and take their leader back to Kenya. I don’t expect either to ever happen.
Yes, kitties were involved.
The method of generating the electric power is thus:
A cat is wound with copper wire and a piece of buttered toast, buttered side up, was strapped to the cat’s back.
The cat is place within another wire coil, and released.
Since cats always land on their feet, and buttered toast always lands buttered side down, the cat and toast assembly will hover in the coil, spinning and generate electric power.
Initially, there may be some issue adjusting the mass ratio of buttered toast to cat, but this should be overcome shortly if sufficient funding is provided for research.
Or drags some alternate dimension residents here, deposits them on the hood of a car, and leaves all involved wondering how they’ll explain it to [insert personification of terror here].
Just to hammer home the point others made: that description IS of a perpetual motion machine. Saying it isn't while describing it as one doesn't overcome the laws of thermodynamics.
Let's review the Laws of Thermodynamics again, shall we?
- You can't win
- You can't break even
- You can't get out of the game.
Whenever you have a flow of electricity - lightning bolts included - you have a magnetic field. You move a magnetic field by any conductor, you get electricity.
A lightning bolt generates electromagnetic waves. You can detect, locate, and even determine direction of lightning bolts via radio.
Let me refine that:
Every flow of electricity causes magnetism.
Every motion of magnetism causes electricity.
Even in a vacuum.
Even when there is no magnet and no conductor.
It’s called electromagnetic radiation.
You see this message?
You’re seeing electricity & magnetism.
That’s what light is.
Well sort of true. A moving electrical charge produces a "B" field (magnetic). A time variant "B" field produces an "E" field which produces another "B" field and so on ad infinitum. What we call electromagnet radiation is comprised of these two "Janus" like fields. Though they are each an independent phenomenon you can never have one without the other. Think of it like Siamese twins, they are two separate things but always found together. The alternating interaction of the E and B vector fields are viewed as a wave of EM radiation (radio, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, gamma rays, &c, differing only in frequency & energy) which travels through the vacuum of space.
To further muddy the waters, what you see, "E" field, "B" field, or both together depends upon your frame of reference relative to the EM wave. In the blink of an eye you are wading through the "Special Theory of Relativity" and quantum mechanics...

I believe the first statement to be true but I think the second is not. DC flowing through a wire will still produce magnetism as a steady field, AC produces a time variant field which can induce a current in another wire contained within the field. That's why there are DC electromagnets that can produce linear force but no such thing as a DC transformer. You need a time variant field to propagate a EM wave through space. Of course if you move the wire carrying DC with respect to a stationary wire, you are back to a time variant field and have just re-invented the alternator.
I'm rethinking the first statement and I wonder if permanent magnets rely on having their atomic structure aligned so as to have all the electrons spinning (more or less) on the same axis. In which case you have an E field which produces an invariant B field. Thoughts?

The invariant b field would be dependent on the observer wouldn’t it? :)
I would expect that even an "invariant" B field would fall off in magnitude following an inverse square relationship since the field would occupy a spherical volume with a surface area of 4PIr2, where r is the distance between the observer and the source of the field. I would not expect a time variation in magnitude if r remained constant (either the source & observer were stationary with respect to each other or moving on such a trajectory as to hold r constant in magnitude. Ie an equipotential geodesic).
