Rereading the translation this morning, I wonder if the device he is describing is a vacuum tube with permanent magnet and electromagnet elements. One can easily imagine seeing "pipe spiral" trajectories of the ballistic electrons given the right applied fields.
Here's another grant, this one in 'Murica. Abstract of US4204799 A horizontal wind powered electrical generator is disclosed in which a horizontal reaction turbine is disposed within an augmentor cowling which extends downwind of the turbine. First stage curved stator blades interconnect the augmentor with the turbine cowling, and secondary stator blades are spaced downwind from said primary stator blades to extend inwardly from the augmentor to terminate short of the turbine cowling. These secondary stator blades have a greater angle of departure than the primary stator blades to increase the rotational velocity of the air at the expense of its axial velocity while permitting the axial velocity of the air moving inwardly of the secondary stator blades to be undiminished. A venturi-structured diffusor is carried by said augmentor in a downwind position to lower the pressure generally and assist the action of the secondary stator blades. -----Original Message----- From: Grimer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 26, 2005 3:03 AM To: vortex-L@eskimo.com Subject: RE: Arie De Geus At 12:08 am 26-02-05 -0500, Keith wrote: > Thanks Frank, > > With God as his co-pilot, he can not fail. > I seem to remember another Jesuit saying, >"It is better to ask forgiveness than permission" > but I could be paraphrasing. > > More from Arie De Geus; this one seems to have been > granted.

They are not the Euclidean lines as commonly depicted but are tiny jet streams which have a certain finite diameter. Presumably the diameter of the permanent magnets and the electro magnets are different. Lets say that the electro magnets have flux tube diameters in the pico range and permanent magnets have flux tube diameters in the zepto range. By combining the two in the way he does it would appear that one can develop considerable strain energy in the magnetic field. After all, a normal magnetic field is simply the difference between the fields of electrons pointing in one direction and electrons pointing in the opposite direction so the possibility of complex fields has always been there. What is new is the idea of scale. This seems to suggest, for example, that the magnetic fields produced by coils having different diameters of wire are in fact different in fineness, albeit equal in magnitude. In the light of the discovery of such phenomena as electron clustering this is not really so surprising. It is simply a question of extropy, or as AMDG might put it, Holy Orders. <G> Cheers Frank Grimer
