Dave, I am no expert on spin batteries, but I think that the battery material is driven to a stable state of high magnetic energy by subjecting its dipoles to a strong magnetic field. I believe that almost all of the energy at that point is in the magnetic field. I do not know how homogenous the best storage materials are, nor how structured their domains are.
Conversion of the stored energy into electrical current is described in the presentation. I wish I could find more references. The theory of storage of energy in the e-m fields still seems pretty contentious. For example, google "Feynman disk paradox" - there are a number of different 'solutions' to how momentum in magnetic circuits is converted into mechanical momentum. Quite perplexing. -- Lou Pagnucco Dave Roberson wrote: > Lou, > > > Are you suggesting that there is a natural store of magnetic spin energy > which can be tapped by one of these devices?
