I've recused myself from all technical debates on the reality or
possibility of OU magnetic motors until I come up with a good
answer to the following question:
When an electron is accelerated in a nonuniform magnetic field
due to the electron's own (permanent) magnetic dipole, where
does the energy come from?
Depends on how many layers deep to you need to go, Neo. This can
be one deep rabbit-hole, especially when you forget your meds...
On one lower level there is the well-known prhenomenon of magentic
precession of domains in a permanent magnet (PM), no?
Precession involves angular momentum, no?
Angular momentum can be transfered, no?
If a PM is capable, at the domain level, of transfering some of
its precessional angular momentum away from its aligned and
synchronous domains- then that would necessarily be a
conservative situation... and the magnet would/should become
demagnetized... unless ??
Unless something (some quantum force or effect) akin to the
Casimir force was capable of applying an effectvie pressure, at
the domain level, so that the angular momentum of the PM - which
had been lessened by a small amount in the transfer of energy [to
either a valence electron or another unrelated domain] was
immediately recouped (or "regauged" as Bearden likes to
miss-state).
Can we stop at the level of the Casimir force?

...ain't Vortex great? ... fast-and-loose answers for every deep
mystery.
Kinda like Wonderland, no? ...that marvellous place "like a dream
come true" and with the occasional pop-literary "Down the
Rabbit-Hole," cross-referencing.
... as when Morpheus says to Neo "I imagine that right now you're
feeling a bit like Alice. Tumbling down the rabbit hole" ... "
take the red pill and I will show you how deep the rabbit-hole
goes."
