Permanent Magnet Motors and a Free-Energy Future

Gasoline is getting expensive. By the time many of us younger kids reach adulthood, say between 2015 and 2040, gasoline may be so expensive and difficult to obtain that transportation could be out of the question-- that is assuming the world has not yet come up with an alternative fuel method.

But what if fuel isn't the issue. What if there was a way to produce power without needing a flammable liquid? And forget about solar power or wind power because those options will likely never produce enough torque to run a car.

Right now many professionals and average joes have set out to do just that with magnets. Recent experiments have proven successful in varying degrees with one goal in mind: Produce solid energy from the push or pull forces found in magnets.

The idea is simple. Position a series of magnets in such a way as to make a magnetically charged spool or wheel spin. With proper placement and precision it seems plausible to make something move off the force of magnets alone which in turn could insinuate free mechanical energy. This mechanical energy could then be converted into things like electricity or a new engine for automobiles. The possibilities and applications are impossible to count.

One problem is that some laws of physics will need to be edited if these motors work. It has long been thought to be impossible to get more energy out of something than is put into it. This could change a lot of things not just in physics, but the way the entire world works. Also, free energy could potentially mean thousands of job losses across the globe in manufacturing and energy production. For these disruptive reasons there has been a lot of special interest in keeping this technology out of the limelight, or at least, completely discredited. There are even rumors that threats, disappearances or even assassinations have occurred in order to keep such information out of the public forum. But like the magnet motor itself, these claims are not proven.

Although the idea is still scoffed at by many professors, some people have already claimed to have made working magnet motors. These models can yield turnover rates that greatly outweigh the initial cost. Just imagine. Free electricity. Free transportation. It'd be revolutionary. The most exciting example of a magnet motor is the Perendev design, while dozens of other makeshift designs can be found all over the Internet. Another interesting design is the Andy Wheel or Andy Gravity-Magnet Motor.

At the same time there can be found innumerable failed designs that need constant intervention in order to keep motion going. It will take time to see whether or not magnet motors will prevail as a pragmatic solution to the energy crisis and global warming, but as the oil crisis looms ahead, along with climate change, heads will turn to the smoking gun of it all: Oil, which will eventually have to be replaced outright by a less damaging energy option. Interest in alternative energy will be sure to rise over the next 10 years as more and more people become aware of the resonating implications behind high gas prices.
