What occurs inside magnetic material is as vast a universe itself. Here are some
excellent documents outlining some details on magnetic materials.

The domain theory is particularly interesting. Although the above still does not
dig into the details. They use broad terms such as "anisotropy energy,"
"magnetostatic energy," "magnetocrystalline energy," "surface energy," "thermal
energy." For example, they say, "The exchange energy tends to make the wall as
wide as possible whereas the anisotropy tends to make the wall as thin as
possible." That's relatively detailed, but truthfully there's a world more
detail in such statements.
Hopefully the Steorn forum will spark new vast research in this field, which
holds the key to clean unlimited energy flow. IMHO it will soon be all about
"energy *flow*." Not how much energy can we remove from fuel or nuclear, etc.
We are surrounded by a sea of ambient energy. Rather, IMHO future energy will be
about how much energy flow can a device generate.
