Paramagnetic & Diamagnetic Field Experiments by Professor Robert Haralick, Guy Obolensky & Loren Zanier – In this talk, we describe experiments by which the diamagnetic field by the bloch region and by the poles of a magnet may be measured using 3-axis Hall effect milligaussmeters, magnetoresistive milligaussmeters and sensitive differential electrometers. Our experiments provide evidence for the existence of a diamagnetic field and the vortex of the paramagnetic field. Experiments also reveal longer spinning times with a load than without and a loss of weight. Release date – August 23, 2016. Learn more: Paramagnetic & Diamagnetic Field Experiments

Gravity Fed Water Generator

There are many kinds of water generators and most slow down the flow of the water. One company, Lucid Energy has inline generators that can be used to create electricity from water leaving water towers and other similar situations without any significant reduction in the water pressure!

Halbach Array 1.4 Pound Motor Delivers 7 Horsepower

Halbach Array Lightweight Motor

A classic three-phase 7 horsepower motor can easily be over 100 pounds and is designed to run around 1800 rpm. This higher power density motor delivers this kind of horsepower at almost 5 times the speed. It has different applications and windows of operation so it isn’t an apples to apples comparison. However, the developers do appear to win the bragging rights for the most energy dense motor commercially available.

Launchpoint Technologies website says, “With a total weight of only 1.4 pounds, this motor produces 7 horsepower at 8400 rpm with 95 percent efficiency. At 5 horsepower per pound, this motor has a higher power density than any other motor on the market.

There are countless applications for this kind of motor such as improvements in battery life in electric cars, electric bikes, electric-powered aircraft and the list goes on.

What makes this advancement possible is the use of the Halbach Array, which is a clever organization of the polarity of multiple magnets to create a very strong field on one side while almost totally negating the field on the other. Here is an old discussion on the Halback Array on Energetic Forum with some references: Halbach Array

Here is an early demo of the Launchpoint Technologies Halbach Array motor:

A very interesting benefit of the Halbach Array is that it defeats Earnshaw’s Theorem which says, “states that a collection of point charges cannot be maintained in a stable stationary equilibrium configuration solely by the electrostatic interaction of the charges.”

For example, if you took a ring magnet and had another magnet on a shaft in side of that ring magnet, you wouldn’t be able to get it to stay right in the middle even if you spin it – if you were trying to create a magnetic bearing for example.
