Come on now people, this device will unlock the "force" and we will all be able to exert our Jedi powers. When this is done we won't need electricity as we can just "will" things into being. Didn't any of you ever see the old movie "Forbidden Planet"? The "Krill" obviously employed just such a device to sidestep the need for physicality at all. I for one can't wait! I want to imagine myself being "king of the world" and this will make it happen. Where can I send what few dollars I have as a deposit on a prototype? How big a magneto-ball can I expect for $5?
On a more (slightly) serious note, last night the northern lights were acting up way down here in Arkansas. They weren't as vivid or colorful as what I've seen when living at a higher latitude, but neat none-the-less. Do you suppose our OP was messing around with his "device" last night? Maybe doing some preliminary fine tuning? Bending the earth's field lines to his location? Reckon he's and Arkie too? And some people claim we're all a bunch of inbred hillbillies! Shame on you!
Here's another thought; Suppose one were to make this sphere big enough to use as an isolation chamber, like in the movie "Contact" starring Jodie Foster. Then make a cannon big enough to shoot this ball of wonderment at hypervelocity through a similar ring-like device. The teleportation of matter through time and space! Imagine that! Or not.
I know, this device will allow us mortals to construct and control tiny little artificial singularities, just like the Romulians from "Star Trek". This little ball can contain said black hole and we can then distort the very fabric of space-time for a working warp drive. Talk about miles per gallon! Heck all one needs to do is keep a supply of liquid nitrogen at hand and the universe is now open as vacation-land for "lawyers in love". Anybody wanna go in on my new chain of nitrogen pumping stations. We'll have Exxon-Mobil on their knees in no time! Of course the stations all have to be self-serve and automated. I'm now taking applications for tanker (space tanker) drivers. Class A CDL and a pre-employment drug screen required (with positive results)! Oh yea, experience with zero G a plus! Can you hear me major Tom?
No, really, the idea is to distort all internet traffic, just like Google. Pour the liquid nitrogen into this magic ball and sit the magneto-ball next to any computer and instantly gobble up all the credit card transactions world-wide. Or erase the hard drive at an incredible speed!
I better stop here or Sandia and the Jet Propulsion Lab in cooperation with Homeland Security will be paying me a visit. Oh wait, they won't bother, 'cause they already know I'm a complete retard, and everything I just typed is as big a load of bull cookies as the concept and usefulness of the original idea. Whew, that was close! NOT!!
Have a good one everybody.Roger AS 8 Years off-grid & counting
It is bad enough that you are rude but worse still that you are a fool. I am not selling anything nor am I a New Age pseudo science nut.
If you have no interest in the subject that is fine, but than please keep your childish insults to yourself.
It is clear you know nothing about the topic and if I had proposed a Tokamak style toroidal field containment structure your response would have been the same.
Grow up, Sir![ Parent ]
Please, Please, just GO AWAY.
Hopefully that is clear enough to you.
If you had spent even a half hour reading here you would know your diatribe is not germane to the topic here.
This rhetoric has absolutely NOTHING to do with practical production of electric power.
Your arrogance is astounding.
Please just pretend we do not exist.

Build away folks.

But I too have been squirreling away feverishly at building a device which whist not completely overcoming the effect of gravitons and their accompanying bosuns, does seem to work quite well.
I have devised a machine which will power mankind towards outer space with no external energy. Just last night I elevated myself to the dizzying height towards space of 11 feet, unaided by any but my own power.
This astonishing feat was achieved with my new device which for your edification I will continue to outline below.
It consists of some parallel arms with cross arms running at 90 degrees to the parallel ones. Interspaced between these smaller cross arms are harmless vacuous areas. These vacuous areas are spaced evenly apart to achieve a laminer airflow should some arrive while this amazing device is being utilized.
I have found that sometimes while in ascent mode there were some unusual noises and warm exhaust gasses escaping. I have since improved the design to incorporate a set of leather underpants and the lid off a biscuit tin with a hole in it to protect the nether regions from the exhausting gas.
I claim this device will be able to move countless persons toward outerspace, at an incredible rate... at least several feet per second, is scaleable,and with minimal environmental damage..... except of course those gasses I was talking about.
However, on closer inspection of the apparatus, I have noticed that the usage of rubber feet on the base of the device helps the interface between the device and terrafirma, and so minimises the slippage that one may suspect could occur with the thrust generated by this type of machine.
Whilst using this device and elevating myself towards the firmament under my own power, I have discovered that the leather underwear and accompaning biscuit tin lid are not necessary if you dont fart while climbing it. I've decided to call this thing a ladder.
I'm sure that some practical use will come of this device.

You made the OP go away before I even got to "politely" respond?

Rude? Ask Tom W what I'm like when I'm rude. (Tom, feel free to explain this to our illustrious OP if you would care to do so). You have no clue what I'm like then, and thankfully you may never find out, unless you search the forum for some of my previous postings. Trust me, I can, and have, expressed rudeness that are several orders of magnitude greater than what you have seen today, and will read hereafter.
Is this now an invitation for you to inspire this elusive level of rudeness expressed towards you and your "ideas"?
Sir, I am no fool. I have served as executive director of a natural history museum. In this capacity I studied the shifts in the earths magnetic polarity and the application of dating methods in very ancient rocks. I have served as president of a very large jaycee chapter. I have achieved so many goals in highly competitive fields I lose track of them all. I may be a great many things, good sir, but I am no fool. Nor am I a child, as I have lived to see many great changes in our world. I may display foolish, but fun loving, aspects of my personality from time to time, but I regret to inform your highness that you have made a grave error by assuming such a stance. You may glean from my writing style that I also do have a fair command of the English language. Would you now care to retract your unfounded claim(s), or do you wish to express your ignorance further?
In no way did I resort to a personal attack on you or your idea. I was using a common rhetorical method known as satire. Maybe you should spend a little less time thinking in abstract terms and join us mere mortals in the here and now. I know this is a great deal to ask of a self proclaimed genius such as yourself, but it might make us peons more open to your abstractions. Whatever I may be I have the ability to understand when I have worn out my welcome, however brief my visit may have been.
BTW I have been a contributor here for several years. When did you join this fine group?
If indeed you are not "selling" anything I am forced to ask what's your purpose for coming here? Would not your proposed unipolar magnet be more fittingly espoused on a physics forum? Better yet, as part of a paper one should publish in a peer reviewed journal? Maybe Steven Hawking could advise you better than those you have encountered here to date. Be aware that Dr. Hawking also has a sense of humor, and this may be a stumbling block for you, considering your response to my review.
Just how would a "Tokamak style toroidal field containment structure" support an artificial singularity, when the magnetic field has very little, if anything, to do with graviton waves? Just as how would a "Tokamak style toroidal field containment structure" be useful for anything other than containing a thermonuclear reaction, and how does this apply to magnetism beyond the sub atomic level? Can you demonstrate that a "Tokamak style toroidal field containment structure" is even a practical solution to containment of a fusion reaction, since this has not been successfully demonstrated to date? Do you now see that my level of understanding of such matters may be far beyond what you assumed them to be?
Since you viewed my posting as a series of "childish insults" I am forced to query you as to what type of insults you would consider to be more adult in nature? I may renew my efforts based on your response, for I do enjoy a challenge. This is assuming your presence here is not prematurely terminated. Others have experienced this for far less obnoxious behavior. I truly hope the later is not an immediate eventuality because I cannot help but be entertained by such greatness as you have displayed so far.Roger AS 8 Years off-grid & counting[ Parent ]
