I'm now back from my hiatus. This was largely a case of déjà vu. When I took early retirement from professional engineering over a decade ago, I had hoped that I might no longer be heavily involved in catching and correcting the errors made by others — some with potentially serious consequences. Unfortunately, that hasn't always been so.
A step forward mechanically
I had left my investigations into mechanical perpetual motion more or less as in my posts of 18 April to 9 May 2015. However, I recently made a fairly significant step forward. As things stand, I could perhaps in theory design a perpetual motion wheel that would at least reach my self-imposed lower limit of one watt power output per kilogram of active mass. Unfortunately, the wheel would have to be extremely large — far too large to be practical.
Obviously the wheel must be compacted-up. There is a possible way forward to achieve this compaction, but there will be a lot of work ahead.
Magnet motors next
As I said at the outset, I had intended this blog to be mostly about my investigations into the interactions between permanent magnets, and between electromagnets and permanent magnets. I'll still look at those topics next, but not always in such detail as I had originally intended. Also, because of my foreseeable future work on a mechanical device, as well as ongoing "fallout" from other issues, I'll only be able to post once a fortnight or so.
