Eddy Currents Are Not Always A Loss In Overunity Operation

(1/1)

Butch LaFonte:
If a design is just to prove overunity from magnets is possible and the design involves eddy current drag, then it can be looked at this way. Eddy currents have a by product of heat that is proportional to the drag the currents produce on the rotor magnet. If you consiterthe heat as useful energy, then it is not a loss, but just more energy being produced by the system. If the design is overunity from a stand point of energy in being only the energy to overcome the eddy current drag, but you get out heat energy at near one hundred 100% efficiency and mechanical work from the design also, then the system is a heating device that is not overunity from a heating stand point, but it is from a mechanical energy output stand point.
What you end up with is a system that produces heat energy equal to the mechanical energy you put in and free mechanical energy output from the magnets also.
Thanks,
Butch

Consider as well that the true nature of these 'eddy currents' do not necessarily preclude their creative induction into the correct material of proper geometry to actually produce cooler temperatures....and a propulsive, rather than EM braking effect to boot!

Good point TS,

andreas_varesi:
The major problem in using heat energy is the Carnot process which limits the efficiency of conversion the heat into other kinds of energy. Maybe here some of the ideas from the 2nd law violations (http://overunity.com/index.php/board,25.0.html) can help to utilize the heat from eddy currents.

Thanks,
Good resource, I was thinking also that the heating could be used for heating a home also, which would be free of any work cycle.
