Thane cites some video demonstrations of the biot savart law:
"Here are a couple of great FREE WORK VIDEOS:
Magnetic Force between Parallel Wires
MIT Physics Demo -- Forces on a Current-Carrying Wire
In each video you will see how FREE work is performed by two parallel
conductors. The Law of Conservation of Energy only accounts for energy losses
converted into heat through the resistance of the wires.
Conventional science does not even consider the extra work performed on
anything placed in between the current bearing wires."
I think he means you can get FREE work from this electrical energy, if
inaddition to using the electricity to power a motor, you use the same
electricity to compress or stretch a spring placed between the parallel wires.
Or is the some reason why doing the latter should slow the former?
