Quoted: Ok a lot of people are saying it’s not moving so therefore there is no energy being used, whick ok I get that. But it still doesn’t seem to apply here because the magnet is using its magnetic field to pull itself and with a rare earth magnet it pulls itself with enough force you could get an inaccurate weight many times what it truely weighs. How is that any different than me pushing down on the scale causing the same inaccurate reading. When I push on that scale I use energy, so how is a magnet doing the same thing “not using energy”. View Quote Once the magnet is stuck onto the fridge, there is no kinetic energy, only force holding it to the fridge. The mass of the magnet will always be the same regardless of the force or energy acting upon it (until you get near the speed of light, then weird shit starts happening). The weight of the magnet will depend on the force of gravity at your location. Mass and weight are independent of what the magnetic force is doing. I.e., it still weighs xx grams regardless of whether it is stuck to the fridge or sitting in your hand. It's just that the magnetic force holding it up exceeds the force of the weight trying to pull it down, so it stays stuck to the fridge instead of falling to the floor. On the other hand, if the the magnetic force holding it against the fridge is less than the weight of the magnet, then it falls to the floor. |

Then how do magnets work? How can I put a magnet on my refrigerator and it not fall off? Wouldn’t it use magnetic energy to pull itself to the fridge to resist gravity? So how come it never falls off? |

Quoted: I wonder if you can break it down to the velocity of the electrons moving and realigning as the magnet loses it's magnetism? View Quote The loss of a Magnets strength would be from those pols getting misaligned. Maybe through heat cycles or impact/vibrations. |

So how come it never falls off? View Quote While the magnet is stuck there it has potential energy. When you exert enough force to overcome the magnetic pull and let go of it, that potential energy will then be converted into kinetic energy. It will fall to the ground and the kinetic energy will be converted to heat. |

you could become a magnet but I don't know how you're gonna pull that off...

It's the pols of the atoms being aligned that makes magnets attract. "Magnets" have the ability to easily get all the pols lined up to pull together. I think all matter has magnetism it just not easy or possible to get the pols aligned. The loss of a Magnets strength would be from those pols getting misaligned. Maybe through heat cycles or impact/vibrations. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted:
Wrong. Energy cannot be destroyed or created (we think), and matter is merely a form of energy. Twist energy into enough knots and you get matter (strings). Smack matter hard enough and it returns to being energy. View Quote |

Why don't we put magnets on the bottoms of airplanes and magnets on the air strips so they can just activate the magnets to take off instead of having to get up to speed?

Sorry, I didn't finish my thought above. So if I spend x amount of energy placing the magnet sideways on the fridge at some point the magnet using energy actively resisting gravity will use more energy than what I used placing it there. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted:
Beacause the energy you exerted to pull the magnet off the refrigerator is reciprocal to the energy it constantly exerts to stay in place. It's a weird balance of nature |

The refrigerator and the magnet truly love each other. True love lasts forever, so the magnet will stay stuck with the refrigerator forever. Just like when people get married.

How is there not a magnetic force powered perpetual motion energy source yet?
We can make magnets, we can put them close enough to create push/pull, but we can’t harness/capture/use it? |

Literally all chemistry is quantum mechanics. You are referring to the idea that electron transfer in some systems is not adequately explained by viewing the process as discrete steps, and that it must be the result of a wave function that is rather widely distributed in space. View Quote |

The state of modern physics is really sad. 99% of physicists are only worried about where they are getting their next pay check. I don't agree with every thing he says, and I'm pretty sure he is "controlled opposition", but I think this guy is right more than he is wrong (or purposely miss-leading) Miles W. Mathis
There are some really big lies in modern physics, there are multiple reasons for this. The biggest one is money. (the second is atheism) e.g They are never going to find "Dark Matter" or "Dark Energy" because it does not exist, but they will continue to get trillions of dollars for the foreseeable future to "look for it". It's really sad. A never ending money pit. IMHO Electromagnetism "field" and Plasma theory explain things much better. 99.9999% of all visible matter in the universe is plasma (which react to electromagnetic force) yet astrophysicists mostly only pay attention to mass when doing their calculations?!?!? And they leave out the mass of photons in their calculations, simply because they don't know how to properly apply the equations. Their math is wrong and or they don't understand how to use the equations (on accident or on purpose?) so they have to make up wild theories to explain it away, and constantly fudge their numbers with "made up constants, that keep changing". Pants on head retarded. Another example is the "Cosmological Constant" that they keep having to change every time they get new data? That's called fudging your numbers because your math does not work. Let me give you a hint, when your "constant" if different by orders of magnitude depending on where you are observing, you are doing something wrong. That whole Anthropomorphic Global warming thing that most people now know is hogwash? Now multiply that by 1,000,000 and you will have some idea of where modern "mainstream" physics is. |
