I was laughing at some of the videos of how people claim they harnessed free energy USING A MAGNET.
And so I started to think.... How could I harvest the energy out of a magnet, with no moving parts.
Since a magnet through a copper coil produces flow, what if you 'move' the electronics along the magnet instead?
I put a pic in there because I don't have my custom prop part handy.
This circuit is just a super rough concept...

  • Ya totally lost me here. Whatcha up to, @"Clock Loop" ?

  • A generator moves coils relative to a magnetic field or a magnetic field relative to coils. In every case, mechanic power has to be applied to generate electric energy. So no harvest but conversion.

    By the way: How can we increase flux density in a conductor loop (which actually is an ideal superconductor) without changing the flux?

    Flux capacitor? :D

    So, the solution turns out to be quite simple and intuitive:
    Imagine to have a finger ring you place on a rubber foil, representing magnetic flux. Now you can push the rubber into the ring, that is, you increase flux density, but as the flux is characterized by lines, every line "entering" will leave it, so the net flux is zero. But you increased flux density anyway.
