Jones,
If it performed that well, then it would be interesting.
That amount of power extracted over such a long time period would represent
a large amount of energy. I tend to think of the energy stored in a magnet
as being relatively small since you can take an unmagnetized piece of
material and magnetize it with a modest amount of input energy. Since I
have a hang up concerning COE, I assume that there is the same amount of
energy available as is needed to achieve that state.
Dave - Your point about CoE is exactly the one which I was struggling to
address in the first post. I think that energy (redefined) is conserved.
If CoE is based on thermodynamics, and does not fully account for spin
energy, then it does not mean that we abandon conservation of energy – only
that we start including spin as part of the energy to be conserved.
The end result is that far more energy can be derived from certain specialty
materials – especially when they are manufactured and processed in a certain
way (nano-geometry and magnetic conditioning come to mind) … but when you
account for (spin + thermodynamics) the that higher value is still
conserved.
