@ Norman6538
Yes I agree, you are correct, in stating that measurements need to be taken and presented.
Yes I agree, you are correct, no measurements were "here" presented, that is, until you presented your match box
car experiment.
As to why your match box car didn't roll down the refrigerator with the stronger although heavier neo magnet, but did
roll down with a weaker although lighter magnet?
You have just presented measurements, restated butches theory, and stated your own theory.
Your observations?
1. The weaker and lighter magnet, under your test conditions, did not create more resistance to the rolling of the match box car than
the combined weight of magnet and car.
2. The stronger although and heavier magnet, under your test conditions, created more resistance to the rolling of the match box car than the combined weight of the car and the stronger / heavier magnet could over come.
Your conclusions ?
1. The lack of movement of the stronger and heavier magnet was due to eddy currents and not friction.
Have I understood your experiment / observations and conclusions correctly ?
Please understand, I'm not trying to "put words into your mouth".
My observations, suggestions, comments
OBSERVATIONS
1. Eddy currents can only be produced, under the conditions in your experiment WHILE one of the magnet is in MOTION.
There fore, friction MUST be the cause of the NON motion during the stronger / heavier magnet and car test, unless there is
some unknown or factor not presented in your findings / test.
SUGGESTIONS
1. Modify your experiment by using a metal surface (a carpenters saw? ) that can be easily rotated from a plumb
orientation into a level orientation.
2. Suspend each of the "test vehicles"
from the saw, while the saw is level in two planes (broad sides up and down)
3. Tape, tie or rubber band some weights to the cars until gravity pulls them from the saw.
4. Reposition the saw into a plumb orientation and repeat step 3.
5. Optionally, pull each car and magnet arrangement along a metal surface and then pull each one directly (at 90 degrees) from
the metal surface.
6. Note under which conditions a greater weight was required to move the car and magnet.
7. Post the observations.
COMMENTS
1. Your "experiment" and it's presentation could have been valuable to this discussion, and could easily have added valid
information (confirmation or disproof) to the discussion, but did not.
2. Instead, (excepting your assertion, an assertion made repeatedly in the other title for this topic ?) that measurements
need to be made, has detracted from the discussion.
3. Elementary experimentation, as well as conventional scientific explanation, easily demonstrate the validity of the pseudo solid
principles. Note I did not say Over unity.
4. Your "experiments" conclusions are wrong, you methods and observations are incomplete and flawed.
5. The stronger magnet must have crushed the wheels of the hot wheels car into contact with the car's body
preventing their rotation ?
6. Poor or worse yet, phoney measurements, are misleading and there fore worse than no measurements.
7. A GOOD critic is valuable, indeed an asset, please be one.
Thanks
