To continue my discussion on magnetic energy flows, I chose to look at a disk shaped magnet in order to see how it flows from north to south poles.  What I found is that it works exactly the same as a flat bar magnet in that the flow appears to begin at the flat portion of the magnet and move towards the flat opposite side.  The edges of the round portion appear to just be a path of migration with no real force being emitted.  The real difference in the round and bar magnets would seem to be the fact that the round magnet is evenly distributed while the flat square magnets seem to be weakest at their corners.

The real reason that I started looking at the flows of magnets was a video that someone sent me, that a George Green had posted on magnetic motors, where he displayed a round magnet being driven in circles by a very simple arrangement of square magnets in a PVC pipe.  I suspected however, that the matter was incorrect based on his display.

His video which can be found on the forum here: http://www.primeideas.info/forum/viewtopic.php?t=57 shows a round magnet with a ball bearing glued to it.  When the PVC arrangement was positioned over the top of it, the round magnet would jump up and start spinning.  He pushed this off as a magnetic motor given to him by aliens, but there were a few things I noticed that didn’t make sense.

1) He didn’t have a device that worked like a motor with a stationary shaft and magnet mounted.  This would have been a very simple thing to build and would have impressed people much more than what he had.

2) Round magnets have even distributions of force around their edges as I’ve proved in my tests.  As a result, what type of force could possibly make one want to spin in a circle?

The truth of the matter is that you can get his little trick to work, however, you have to have it on a ball.  The reason is, that the spin comes from the wobble.  And once the magnet gets to spinning fast enough that it looses the wobble, it will begin to slow down again.  Which means it has to stay in a terminal wobble state, which also happens to be a very weak spin.  Therefore this is not an example of a magnet motor, but rather an example of an idiot trying to get someone to pay attention to him.

Just in case innocent people run across this site that might be looking into this or other Eduard Meier type crap, I plan on doing another post specifically on them.
