Currently there are thousands of people around the world attempting to build various "free energy" motors and generators. Many 'Tesla' plans are for sale and, a search on YouTube for free energy yields over 500,000 hits. Over the years there have been many stories of successful free energy generators which never reached the market, as well as tales of the self deluded and frauds. Recently while at the Natural Philosophy Alliance conference, I listened to an inventor relate his story of creating a device, assembling a management team, and presenting his goods to dozens of major corporations, only to be thrown out of each regardless of a working prototype. The company engineers and scientists simply could not believe that the device worked as described, and management could not take the risk. These events took place over ten years ago. I asked the inventor would he allow me to design a computer graphics physics engine simulation showing that the machine did in fact work and allowing detailed viewing of its interactions. He replied that he could not show me his equations for they were "all he had" and that in any case, convincing people of the new world view required would take "thousands of years." That may be. Regardless, in this article I shall take one small area of free energy work, magnetic motors, and explain, in layman's terms, how such motors are possible and well worth the efforts of those attempting to bring them into reality. So, to begin, what is magnetism? Magnetism is the property of matter to respond on some level to an applied magnetic field. A magnetic field is an area of space under the influence of a moving electric charge. This movement can be the straight line motion of an electron in a wire, for example, or the 'intrinsic' spin of an electron. Intrinsic here means irreducible; a given fact without further (known) explanation or cause. (God given). Scientists have created equations which describe the response of matter under the influence of magnetic fields. One of these is F = q(v x B), which means that an electric charge 'q' moving at velocity 'v' within a magnetic field 'B' feels a force 'F'' perpendicular to the the direction of motion of the charge. (The charge is like a flying golf ball. The magnetic force is like a wind blowing it to the side.) In physics work is measured by the ability of a force to cause matter to speed up or slow down. But this magnetic force does neither. It changes the direction of our (charged) golf ball, but if only the magnetic force were present, the ball would continue to fly forever on a curve. Thus, scientists say that 'magnetism does no work.' (Also if our 'one particle' ball is not moving, magnetism can never move it.) And this is the first argument against his motor that an inventor will hear. Magnetism can neither speed up, nor slow down any object, therefore a motor based on magnetism and magnetism alone can never work and be a source of power. But this point of view seems to contradict the common observation of holding a magnet near an object which is not moving and watching the object be repelled or attracted to the magnet. Clearly, the second object had zero speed, and then had a speed which was greater than zero. What's going on here? To explain I will refer to two different ideas: The first is that "More is Different" and the second is "Maxwell's Demon," then I will discuss the conservation of energy issue and conclude.

There is a wonderful article by P. W. Anderson called 'More Is Different,'1 praised by Nobel Prize winner Robert Laughlin as a basis for modern technology.2 In it Anderson explains that contrary to common belief, a knowledge of the actions of isolated objects does not make explicit the dynamics when many objects are involved. He says, "The ability to reduce everything to simple fundamental laws does not imply the ability to start from those laws and reconstruct the universe," and that there can be spontaneous and natural 'broken symmetries' in which "the internal structure of a piece of matter need not be symmetrical, even if the total state of it is." Also, "a third insight is that the state of a really big (many particles) system does not at all have to have the symmetry of the laws which govern it: in fact, it usually has less symmetry... The essential idea is that in the so-called N limit of large systems (on our own, macroscopic scale) it is not only convenient but essential to realize that matter will undergo mathematically sharp, singular "phase transitions" to states in which the microscopic symmetries, and even the microscopic equations of motion, are in a sense violated... the whole becomes not only more than but very different from the sum up its parts." An issue here, however is that such asymmetries have not been publicly explored in field systems, but only in material ones such as crystals and graphite sheets. Anderson notes that 'temporal pulsing' can set up 'continuing, quasi-stable process(es)', yet the potentiality of ongoing access to vacuum energy by this means is not spoken of. Any asymmetry derived from a multi-field environment (differing field types, field intensities, waveforms, frequencies, positioning, motions, and further differing types of matter present*) would effectively be experienced as a new force, with action no longer described by the underlying laws of which it was composed. This I believe, is the true source of the Hutchison effect 3, and the bizarre behavior of certain classified aircraft/spacecraft often spotted. In any case, using these ideas as a lens, we can see the possibility that macroscopic magnetism is not in fact the same force as single particle magnetism. Single particle magnetism moves already moving objects along curves while doing no work. Bulk magnetism accelerates macroscopically stationary objects along straight lines to great velocity. Let's look even more deeply into this using a speculation of James Clerk Maxwell. 150 years ago James Clerk Maxwell proposed an idea spawning much controversy because it appeared to violate the second law of thermodynamics. (This law, in experimental terms states that when hot air and cold air are mixed, they will together come to a middling temperature.) Maxwell stated that a hypothetical being (which came to be called Maxwell's demon) could reverse the equilibrium process, with a very low amount of energy, unrelated to that stored in the gases, and isolate the hot from the cold by letting only hotter molecules through a door between two compartments. Many persons work on this today. 4 This process would convert information to energy, disorder into order.

*The search parameters for these when engineering particular effects can be VERY narrowly defined.

What some scientists may have failed to see however, is that we need not create such a demon to achieve this effect. An analogous one exists in the case of magnetism itself, which transforms disordered directionality into ordered directionality of motion, while doing no work itself.* So the question of where the velocity (v) in bulk magnetism comes from is answered. The disorganized velocity (of spin) of the un-magnetically influenced materials becomes organized, directed v in the magnetically influenced material. The object is neither pulled nor pushed in a straight line by the magnet. That would be impossible. Instead, it rushes forward under its own power, with its particles motions organized at no cost by the magnet. (Rotation can be rectified by a pulsed system.) Remember, magnetism can neither accelerate, nor decelerate matter. Magnetism does no work. And if the charged particles in the magnetic field have no velocity then there is no magnetic force. F = q(v x B) so F = 0 = q(0 x B), that is, 0 = q(0), 0 = 0. Any velocity attained by an object being 'pulled' by a magnet was contained within that object itself, and is not being contributed by the magnet. (Both rush in opposite directions.) This leaves us with a more fundamental question, that of the conservation of energy. The conservation of energy is a very solid idea, having its basis not only in an endless number of experiments, but also in fundamental bases of thought, the laws of identity and of final causation. It is up to science (observation) however to determine if these laws continue to be properly applied. The idea is that you can't get something if nothing is there, that the universe we know seems to be one of transformation only, and that things must have identity if we are even to communicate about them at all. (Any statement violating identity violates itself.) Further we can say that all (action, and attribute) is predicated of Substance (the unchanging, by which change is measured) and that Substance then is final (and not merely efficient) cause. The idea of matter/energy as Substance though, is only that, an idea, to be judged by ongoing integrative observation. An alternative idea is that the unseen, the vacuum, is actually Substance (or closer to it) and Final Cause, and that matter and energy are dynamics within and of it.5 Thus we could still say that 'A is A' (everything is everything) but in this case the final accounting and the energies and dynamics from which we could draw would be greater than the presently seen.** The point being, does our picture include all that is conserved, or are we limiting ourselves to a subset, the previously known? Whatever the source of electron spin may be, since the function of a properly designed magnetic motor may be dependent on that source and that alone, the motor might be expected to continue to operate as long as the constituent electrons continue to exist. *It is as if the spinning electrons were actually current loops being 'accessed' periodically. **In my own model, we see events: changes in the smooth flow of some underlying state across a universal all pervading
Substance. We integrate these events in order to form larger and larger, more and more complete pictures of process across space and time. What we see is literally a set and series of events bundled together to yield a map of 'event or process space' from which we can learn the relations between events. Without this integration process however, we see events only, various electromagnetic occurrences. We integrate these events across space and time (which allows us to see matter and its dynamics) and across type (to integrate our inner life and its nature into the whole). All observations then (including observations within) can be put together to make one big observation. And it is from this integrated picture that we (when operating on a purely intellectual level) determine the true nature and identity of Substance. This is instead of making the perhaps naive declaration that matter is Substance. (An idea which is 'maya,' the illusion.) Which view may come from cutting off one's integration of the 'one big observation' before it is complete, or from categorically excluding the universal, yet subjective from inclusion within it. (A personal view)

The most persuasive examples of working magnetic motors include the Kawai motor, rigorously tested by Hitachi engineers to have a coefficient of performance of up to 1.6, that is for every 100% in, one gets 160% out,6 and the Takahashi motor, developed by the Sony engineer who created the Sony Betamax system. This motor allowed four 12 volt batteries to give a scooter a range of over 500 miles. Both were suppressed by competing energy industries.7 For those wishing to create such a motor themselves, look to the Turtur vacuum engine, experimentally verified in an electrostatic field mode and offered since April 2011 in magnetic configuration.8 Also there are open source projects at PESWiki.9 So, how does one go about creating such a machine? Consider the fact that an electric train engine might be capable of pulling thousands of tons of weight, uphill and at great speed. And yet, even within the bounds of accepted engineering practice that same power driving the train is easily stopped by the effortless flick of a child's finger on a switch. The energy capable of pulling a thousand tons in one form, when in another is seemingly utterly lacking in physical momentum. One half of the 'trick' involves controlling the form of the energy present, such that it works on your moving parts where you want it to, and does not interact with the system at all, or works without negative effect, by for example, creating stationary stress in the material, where you don't. The other half of the necessary magic, is leaving the whole motor system open to the sustaining powers within. A working magnetic motor will both access natures' inner stores and utilize them efficiently using methods like the above. Free energy devices have been created dozens if not hundreds of times. On a technological level, Mankind has absolutely no problems whatsoever. Socially... At some point humanity will demand to experience the fruits that so many eager minds have endlessly toiled for, and that God has so freely given. Let us look forward to that day.
