You're right on!
Their patent application: LOW ENERGY MAGNETIC ACTUATOR
"The company is currently engaged in the development of its own proprietary battery substitution technology."

Nope. The orbital period of the planet you are using.
It depends on how it is slowed. This is not a scalar.
The bottom line is that equilibrium must be obtained to maintain a stable orbit. So if the orbital tangential speed is decreased without changing any other factors, the corresponding centrifugal acceleration will be lower. Given that the masses of the two bodies (sun and planet) have not changed the gravitational force has not changed, so the planet will 'fall' towards the sun.
It is why skylab is no longer intact. It slowed down. Came home.
Indeed!
Note, a green Ar/Ion laser spins mine like crazy. :-)
No. But I can imagine the plot. ;o)
The far left will not be happy.
Agreed. Was being a bit silly with my post. Should have qualified that.
Reminds me of Joseph Newman...saw him on Johnny Carson many, many years ago...his perpetual motion machine. http://www.josephnewman.com/
BTW, as you impart energy into a satellite to lift it to a higher orbit, the satellite's velocity decreases.
Pay no attention to these Irish pretenders. In my la-BOR-a-tory, I'm working on a device that is not only a perpetual motion machine, but it also travels faster than light, enables time-travel, and it seems to overcome gravity as well (still studying that angle). But it only works if you've been taking my Eternal Life Elixirtm, which is the real opportunity for investors.
I understand your point, but if these guys, while in the process of doing something else, observed a phenomena that they were not expecting, that defies the laws of physics as we know them, and they cannot explain it, and it is reproducible; is it not worthy of study?
I'm sure it does. I don't know how many times I've heard, "So and so has looked at this and they think it's a valid process.", so I understand the reluctance to consider these contraptions. What bothers me is to enter these threads and watch how many people completely dismiss a proces knowing absolutely nothing about it.
I think I aluded to this earlier, I think 99.99999999% of these things are bogus. I'm just not sure we should dismiss that 0.000000001% or even give the appearance of it.
Thanks for the response.
Perpetual Motion Breakthrough!
I have one of those little rotating thingies. They're powered by evil spirits.
Why are they bothering Physicists? It's not Scientists generally that are in control of venture capital money. If this is factual Investors will pony up the money for the further development. Has a patent been applied for on this process?
I should also add, after further review of their website, that they are willing to pay the direct costs associated with the review/validation process. This appears to be a legit, existing company that does work in other fields.
The scientists are to validate the technology. They don't appear to be asking for money up front and are going to pay the direct costs for the validation. If it proves out they will license it to others to develop.
They also claim that thay have a patent pending on the technology.
EXACTLY!!!
