Magnetic propulsion: can they make an RV generator?

I read about this in the Wall Street Journal. Supposedly, this company has developed a way to differentially polarize magnets, causing a flywheel to spin, thus generating power. Many scientists are skeptical.

But it is fun to dream, isn't it? Imagine a silent smaller version of this for RV travel -- give it a spin and watch the juice flow:

Seems too good to be true . . . .
  • "They?"

    The flat earth society? The graphite pile they built in Chicago proofed the concept years before the Manhattan project was created. A few minor players may have been skeptical they were not on the level of Einstein, Fermi, and Oppenheimer. The same bunch of naysayers were trying to convince the white house there was a great chance atmospheric nitrogen would enter into the chain reaction.
  • Just put up your solar panel and you will get actual power for free.
    No need to dream.

    As usual with this kind of stuff, if it were possible it would have been done by now.
    I heard they were saying that just before the Manhattan Project. :)

    Gotta admit that video with the spinny, whirly, flashing lights is sure impressive.

    The perpetual motion grapevine,

    Wait! First I have to lift myself off the ground by my ankles. Stanley Pons & Martin Fleischmann redux.

    Wagon, Stick. Carrot. Man holding carrot out in front of with a donkey who pulls the wagon. Magnetic polarity is IT's A MIRACLE changed with no energy and Gigagauss permanent autopolarity magnets exist.

    You don't believe it?

    Here comes Elvis, with a sack full of them, as I speak!
  • It's RPM not RPMs. They didn't ask me to proofread the copy.

    As usual with this kind of stuff, if it were possible it would have been done by now.
  • Read up on COLD FUSION. Years ago some Idaho Scientist's stated they had succeeded in Cold Fusion. That has been almost 20 years and NOBODY, including them has been able to duplicate what they stated. They got someone to fund them and moved to France to conduct and Build Cold Fusion machines. What you have posted is like a Perpetual energy machine. NOBODY has succeeded yet. Doug
  • Reminds me of the “perpetual motion” ideas in the sixties.

    Dan ... my only reaction is ?????????????????????????????????????

    I guess I'd have to read the patents to even begin to understand what the base source of energy is, since their website Q&A states that it is not a perpetual motion machine.

    The video on their website is just a whole lot of "engineering sounding" words describing their highly mechanical and complex spinning contraption - with no real down to earth explanation of what is going on. I can understand logical and linear explanations of complex stuff ... gobbilty-goop explanations I cannot. :h
