I came across this technology last year and feel it might open the imagination up of those working with magnetic motors and devices.
already the list of applications is impressive.


Mechanical energy store: Correlated Magnetics Research has produced multi-force magnets that repel at a distance and attract when in close proximity. This can be exploited to trigger full repel force energy release through vibration, impact, surface perturbation, or even an electronic charge.[/li]
[li]Rare-earth multiplier:  MaxField™ technology means that your magnetic material can go much further than ever before. MaxField has demonstrated coupling and shear force improvement in excess of 600% over conventional single dipole magnets. MaxField delivers savings in size, weight, and materials cost.[/li]
[li]Magnetic Field Imaging: CMR’s MagPrinter can create magnetic fields with such precision that magnetic images are enabled. Three-dimensional image reproduction, logos, trademarks, magnetic ink applications, ferrofluid art, and even advanced security concepts are empowered through correlated magnetics.[/li]
[li]Automation Enablement: Contactless attachment, workholding power, and movement paths are enabled through correlated magnetics. Patented electromagnet array technology promises traction without friction and secure attachment to move objects and exploit vertical surfaces such as wall-space.[/li]

I thought I would make it today's feature story and I am sure it is worthy of a post here and comments

Thanks MileHigh
You did a better job than I did investigating them. I did read some positive press about them last year.
I would never suggest anyone could develop an overunity device with this, in my article I clearly stated no one so far has ever constructed a magnetic motor, and the have history and science against them.  I can see a whole host of other possibilities if applied to other problems and married with other technologies.
My hat of to them for innovation and I wish them every success.
Kind Regards

Thank you MarkDansie, looking at their videos, especially the "exploding toy" video its not hard to imagine how this technology could be used to maybe run a PMM

It is for me!  lol

This is a legit magnetics company not related to alternative energy and in that sense the title of this thread is somewhat misleading.  Will the Navy ever switch over to magnetic gearing for the propeller drive train?  I am not getting the warm and fuzzies about that.  I am guessing that the stresses associated with magnetic gearing would cause the metal to undergo a lot of unwanted periodic 'disturbance' stress that might make it fatigue prematurely.  If it ain't broken then don't fix it.

E2matrix:

Good find, and it's hard to tell much from the satellite shot.  Of course, not having a location visible from Google Street View is another dent!  lol

Hi Mark,
 
Really interesting idea of implementing magnetic polarity patterns for dedicated mechanical use.
Could actually be something there for the PMM experimenters, especially if tailorsuiting this technique in combination with the great differential between magnetic attraction and shear force.
Just imagine if one was able to alter the polarity expression by repositioning magnet arrays using a minor force in shear direction.
 
Will certainly look into it.
