OK Unc, perhaps Tormod whould have posted the link here instead of starting a new thread (which violates the laws of thermodynamics by requirying an increase of complexity at Hypography by increasing the number of threads). But does this help explain why your magnetic machine would not work?
" Discussion of The Classic Magnetic Motor
... Why the fascination with magnetism? I think it's because most people, even those who have had physics and engineering courses, still are a bit mystified by how magnets work, so they are less likely to see flaws in a magnetic engine design. One such inventor tried to convince me that magnets have unlimited stored energy, or can tap unlimited energy from "somewhere". "Just look at those magnets on your refrigerator," he said. "They support themselves, doing work against the force of gravity forever, so they must have infinite energy capability.""
