Alternative Energy

[Taem]

I had a very interesting talk with someone regarding this machine. First, their main concern was that I understood it was NOT a perpetual motion machine, to which I understood; after a limited number of rotations, the kinetic energy put fourth into the spinning device would succumb to Earth's gravity and become inert, this is known. What I found intriguing is that this is where my adviser had already given up on the theory of this device, citing studies stating the energy to start the spin again is equal to the energy gained. I pointed out that he was most assuredly incorrect, that if I had manually spun the device, I'd get maybe 8 rotations out of it illuminating the LED for maybe 15-seconds, but due to the quality of the bearings and of course the magnets, the rotations can continue over 100x yielding much more electricity than my singular push, and MORE than enough to power another device to "push" the spinner again AND have leftover power... a positive yield on electricity. Need I mention adding stronger magnets and performing this test within a vacuum? Now you're talking about thousands of spins before the spin stops producing electricity to your initial starting spin; you are not defying the laws of physics... you're singular push still yields the same amount of force before the kinetic energy dissipates and the spin stops, but this can be greatly enhanced by allowing the device to spin more freely generating more electricity for longer. Here, my friends, is a simple device capable of producing more electricity than the initial push, thus generating a positive yield. Think about it for a second, and the simplicity of it! Anyway, maybe when I have some extra cash lying around, I'll purchase the components and tools and try it out but for now, it'll have to go in the back-burner of ideas while I tackle important real world problems in the now, such as finish installing my $3k+ flooring myself and painting the bedrooms before the flooring reaches those rooms, lol.

EDIT: So the first step would be to make it aerodynamic, give it very good bearings, then very powerful magnets. A vacuum chamber won't add much time, but with the magnets attached, a vacuum chamber might add more up to one-fourth more time (based on the non-VC spin) of spin. So, how much electricity could you generate? The next step would be to get a good engine/converter for turning that spin into electricity. I honestly don't feel this would be enough to power your house, but with enough of these in your attic, you could passively regenerate your home battery when the solar panels were in darkness, or even get less solar panels due to the power being generated. Anyway, it's a very interesting concept to me.
