Does anyone have ideas on magnetic energy?

Question

Are magnets a possible energy source?

Answer 1

Google it, you'll be busy for the next two weeks!

Answer 2

Magnetism is not an energy source. It's one of those forces like gravity where although it exerts a force, so far it can only be used to transfer energy, and not as a source on its own.  

Think of the coiled wire + Magnet experiment.  You turn a  magnet inside Copper coils and you induce a voltage difference to light a light-bulb.  But you had to turn the magnet in order to create the voltage difference.  So the source of the energy was from you and not from the magnet.  The magnet was only an intermediary that transferred the energy.

Answer 3

that is actually where we get the power from our homes..from alternating current..

Answer 4

Nikolai Tesla

Answer 5

Yes.  James Clerk Maxwell had some very succinctly stated ideas on magnetic energy.  In accordance with Maxwell's ideas, magnets are used to produce practically all commercial electric power on earth (except for the tiny bit provided by photovoltaic cells), as well as practically all electric power used in vehicles.

Answer 6

magnets moving over wire moves the electrons through the wire thats how generators make electricity and reversing the process gives you an electric motor.  Even the low magnetic fields of radio produces voltage differences in wire (the antennae) the changes in voltage are then amplified to get the music.  I'm not sure what else you might be talking about
