Magnetic Propulsion.

[RAZOR]

does anybody know anything about magnetic propulsion. i think magnetism
would be a great way to invent a new kind of engine.weather it be for motorcycles
or cars.i know that if you have two fixed magnets with same polarity it will
cause a suspended object in the middle to rotate.going off this principle there
should be a way of moving a object.also i had read that way back that some guy
had some plans drawn out for a magnetic engine and the government stepped
in and told him to basically forget about it.anybody else ever looked into or
were interested in magnetic energy???

Of course the government would tell him to forget about it. They wouldn't be able to rape us for fuel anymore. They say that the plans for hybrid cars have been around for a while but are only just gaining popularity because the government was holding back on telling people about it.

I did a yahoo search for magnetic propulsion, found a few different sites on it.

YEAH I found alot of neat stuff on it searching the web i will post
some tomorrow.

basically electric motors are magnetic...they're electromagnetic. i think. magnetic propulsion as an engine, as in with magnets, i think you are saying, would still require constantly varing magnetic charges to keep a center magnet (that was say attached to a drive axle) spinning. and these varing magnetic charges would be caused by fluxuations in electricity to the magnets. these would be controlled by a computer that was controlled by the throttle. but even if there were magnetos on the drive axle to charge the battery you would still loose energy, so solar panels could be used to recharge the battery, or a cord to plug into the wall at night, so basically it would still just be an electric motor...i think. i dont know im tired and i think i just made most that shit up, but fuck it.
thats my .000000002 cents

I seam to recall an article in one of the science periodicals that one of our Unversities actually came up with the theory and original prototype. I think it was Univ. of Michigan, but I may be mistaken. This article was about 10 years ago. It (the article) centered around new technology developed by the US, and the US inability to take advantage of this new stuff. In this case Japan took the reigns and built a magnetic-driven train.

The train actually floats above the "track". The gap of course is extremely small, but with the pulsation it causes the train to move forward and reach remarkably high speeds (+ 200 mph). The "track" was more like the ones used on a monorail and noting like the standard track system used by conventional trains. I imagine they have developed this technology substantially since then, though I doubt it is at the point where it could be used for cars or bikes.

It would be interesting to see what you uncovered in your research.

check this out -- found this about the trains.intersting how it could sit on the rails
differnt ways..http://www.alienbaby.com/levitron.html

i told you it could be done look at this---awsome.

i'm not sure about shareholding and stuff like that but for those of you that do
wouldnt you think it would be a good idea to be apart of this????

[TinyUFB]

Damn! Yep, that's it alright!

The article I read discussed the first type of maglev described on that site. It appears that this new concept is much better and efficient.

Still, it looks like it will be some time before we can order our 750 maglev bike....

:rolleyes5

BAD ASS!!!
Damn nice find! That could open a lot of doors for NO MORE FUEL!! Sweet.
My Dad just bought a magnetic flash light. It has a coil inside a clear case. When you rock it back and forth, the magnet rocks back and forth in and out of the coil, charging the flaslight.
One problem that I found, it looks like a dick and when you charge it, you look like your jacking off.
DOH!!!
