Sorry Robin, that's rubbish below. I won't contribute to this thread if you can't get concrete in what you're thinking. You want cusp like changes in field lines from shaking magnets about at low speed? Go check JJ Thompson's construction for radiation of EM fields from a dipole (I might scan it in) or check out Braking Radiation or Cyclotron Radiation.
>Robin>The point is that tangled magnetic field lines release energy under some circumstances. My question is, and remains, why can't that be done here in the lab, and can you think of a better way of tangling field lines than spinning magnets? Maybe this is my mistake.
