Magnetic energy? Perhaps "WE'RE SEEING MORE ENERGY OUTPUT THAN INPUT"!?!?!

The nation's energy industry is struggling to recover from Hurricane Katrina. Gas prices are soaring as a result of the catastrophic storm. America's reliance on overseas oil increases every year.

And from his office in the North Bay city of Sebastopol, Mark Goldes envisions a day -- perhaps not so far off -- when none of this will be a problem.

Goldes, 73, is chief executive of a small company called Magnetic Power Inc., which has spent years researching ways to, yes, generate power using magnets.

Within a few months, he says, he might just have a breakthrough to report that could revolutionize where people get fuel.

1. I just hope he hurries up.

In the meantime legalizing hemp would help a lot too.

2. A story I have heard millions of times.

And it never happens!

Go read "Perpetual Motion - The History Of An Obsession" by Arthur WJG Ord-Hume.

3. I've thought about this for years

I wonder what he's got up his sleeve?

4. Nice

As long as Haliburton or one of these assholes doesn't get sole property of it.

5. If it were true, it would never see the light of day. The bastards that

control energy (bushco*, al saud) would never allow other energy sources to break their monopoly and compromise their power. I put nothing past these bastards any longer. Nothing. After New Orleans, I now believe that evil exists and its name is bush*.

6. Sure enough sounds

like a dynamo.

7. Does this involve spinning a coil of wire inside the magnets? Cause that's

been done.

[ProfessorGAC]

8. Yeah, I've Heard Of That

I think they call it, uh, a GENERATOR!

9. If this guy had really created real room-temperature superconductors, it

would be front page news. I don't buy it.

[anarch]

10. wow! you could make an engine that used magnets to turn

some kind of turbine...all you'd need is to pump electricity into the thing so that the polarity changes on an electromagnet, and then position that so that it rotates relative to a permanent magnet...it might look something like this:



oh, wait...



sorry, but I just pretty much automatically dismiss anything that sounds like a "perpetual motion" scheme

[theearthisround]

11. Scientists said flight was impossible, I guess we should dismiss that too

They even had math equations to prove it!

[jim3775]

13. Flight is one thing

The laws of physics are another.

[theearthisround]

14. The laws of physics have been proven not to be laws at all

12. see also Nikola Tesla

15. ... he might just have a breakthrough....

Next time, take the hard courses, not underwater macrame.

16. Don't hold your breath...

No one has been able to invent a perpetual motion machine, because the laws of the universe prohibit it. This is no different, in my opinion.
