Why hasn't more work been done to promote vehicles and motors that ran from a magnetic charge?

Question

Seriously. Opposites attract. You could start simply with the alternator. Put a bunch of magnets on a cylinder, and then put ones with a different charge on the outside. It will spin forever (well at least 200 years) generating energy. In turn you never need to replace your battery. You really don't even need your batter.

Now take that to another level. You could power a generator for your home. You could even get super powerful magnets to crank the pistons. I don't know how you would regulate it, but I'm guessing it would be as simple as moving the magnets closer together or further apart.

Is this idea being explored?

Answer 1

there is no such thing as free energy...200 years of energy from magnets...dream on  

Answer 2

I have a degree in Physics. The devices you seem to be talking about are perpetual motion devices.

The simple answer to your question is that it is not possible to get energy for free. The law of the conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed from one state to another.

Magnets may be good for storing energy, but there is no way you could create a device from which you could extract useful energy without putting energy in. If you could, then devices like that would be everywhere.

If you ever could manage to make an engine that could operate in the way you describe, you would be on course for a nobel prize.

Answer 3

Yeah and the water car works too

keep dreamin hippie

they are just trying to con investment capitol from naieve people like you

Answer 4

Do you really think oil company's and the government are going to want to stop making loads of profit? Until all the oil runs out will we start to see other forms of running a car. Everyone knows that the combustion engine is the crappiest way to run a car and the least efficient! I think a car that will run on compressed air would be the best, sure it wouldn't go much faster than 80mph but you could do 2 hours of driving easy and it wouldn't take long to compress air into a tank either!
