Synchro,

This is all really very interesting but would elaborate a little more on your statement above?  What is the "neo tube"?

Also, what was your source for the gadolinium cube you are using?

Regards,
Pm


The source for the 1" Gadolinium cube was "Amazon" $155. plus shipping

Click on this thumbnail to see the "Neo-tube", cube and electromagnet:

Drawing the 1" Gd cube across the electromagnet with the Neo magnet on top generates a voltage in the coil but there's no magnetic attraction between the cube and the EM.


Who would believe that the full 500 newtons of electromagnetic attraction strength from the coil would have zero effect on the gadolinium while it's exerting very powerful attraction from the Neo magnet!

This is a picture of gadolinium powder. This appears to be readily available online. I'm trying to order some now from "Stanford Advanced Materials". I plan to laminate my 3/4" diametric Neo tube with the Gd powder and bonding agent to see if I can manufacture a "Lenz Free" output spinner.

Synchro,

Thanks for the supplier help as I found some 10mm gadolinium cubes on Amazon but bought them cheaper direct from Luciteria Science online.

Be careful with the powder as gadolinium is proving to be toxic as current research has found when used in contrast-enhanced MRIs and MRAs.

                                                      Gadolinium flux diode:


"Power generation device for providing electric power by utilizing magnetocaloric effect. Processes or apparatus peculiar to the manufacture or treatment thereof or of parts thereof using thermal change of magnetic permeability, e.g. working above and below the Curie point, e.g. pyromagnetic devices."


This guy is running fluids of different temperatures through the tiny cryo-tubes to raise and lower the temperature of the Gadolinium flux diode over and under the currie point:

I imagined that a coil field might raise and lower the temperature of the Gadolinium, but after testing the material for that effect I discovered it had none. I believe this amounts to a heretofore unrealized quality of the element that is still puzzling: The Gadolinium is only magnetic to a permanent field and inert to an electro magnetic field. Some kind of magnetic semiconductor effect. Very important discovery with no immediate applications!

It’s not a true ‘cutie point’.


It’s a flipping of the figure-8 helical anti-ferromagnetic field.
Since the hexagonal crystalline complex forms pillars instead of squares
like would say a cubic-face centered crystal...
     : the diplex field is stronger in one anti ferromagnetic vector.
For reasons of entropy, the inverted helixes interchange positions
when the temperature crosses the 67 degree mark.
When observing the substance this gives an apparent ferromagnetic field
  below this temperature, and an opposite paramagnetic field above the temp.


both fields exist, just that one is stronger than the other in the polarized vector.


a true curie point would cause the substance to loses all magnetism.


the problem here is, the changes to magnetism are counteracted by the crystals own
self-induced change in internal temperature.
In short: it requires more energy to maintain the thermal conditions than manifest by
the changes in magnetism.
And vice versa.
You lose energy in both directions.


Or in other words, when the environmental temperature changes across the boundary:
The crystal takes enough energy from the environment to flip the helixes.
