How to Build a Perpetual Magnetic Generator

The search for making a perpetual magnetic generator is not a new one. The inventor, Peter Peregrinus, created what is known to be the earliest "magnet motor device" in 1269 A.D. There are many who say the the device will not work because it violates the second law of thermodynamics. However, there is one man in Canada who may be coming close to creating a perpetual magnetic generator that works. Be that as it may, you can create a similar device on a smaller scale. If your device works, then...you just might have to change your name to Peregrinus.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

Step1

Set a wheel, that will be the inner wheel, on a titling axis. The wheel itself should be of something that is non-conductive and can spin.

Step2

Attach magnets of some kind (ceramic bar magnets work well) equally around the rim of this wheel. Make sure that each of the magnets faces out for the same polarity.

Step3

Place a fixed outer ring around the inner ring. Make sure that this ring is also made of something non-conductive as you build a perpetual magnet generator.

Step4

Line the outer, fixed ring of the perpetual magnetic generator, with magnets that face in.

Step5

Make the inner ring of the perpetual magnetic generator you have built spin. As the inner wheel reaches the utmost portion of its revolution, the magnets on the outer ring should make the ring continue spinning until the next magnets set of opposing magnets face each other again.

Step6

Allow the inner ring of the perpetual magnet generator spin until the speed increases and energy is generated.

on 9/21/2008 I disagree with yeroca. As per my understanding, the PMM will not violate any laws of universe. This is because even maganetic power is not forever. I degrades with age of magnets. You may say it to be an ageing factor coming into picture.

on 8/25/2008 The magnets have to be arranged such that the number of magnets in the outer ring is greater than the number of magnets in the inner ring. The object of this project is to create an astable rotating field so that there is always more "pull" in the rotating field in the direction of the rotation. This has been around since people were taking the magneto ring of a Ford Model T and making free rotating battery chargers from them. The irony is that at the time no one could explain how it worked so that they were unable to obtain any of the many patents they applied for. With the advent of fractal math and the understanding of applications of "chaos" math did someone get a patent in the early 80's. When set up properly it does work.

on 6/9/2008 This won't work. No machine has EVER been shown to put out more energy than it takes in, and the one described above is no exception.

You can build it for fun, just to see how it does not actually work, but don't count on it for free energy.
