"No reaction" braking of rotor based on Faraday's lesser known experiment | ||||||||
You have found Ling_the monkey_boy's home page. Why that name? Because Ling up to Ling99999 was already taken. I was reasonably sure that this name wasn't already in use, and it reduces spam. So far, there are just a few ideas based on Faraday's disk experiments. They could be called Homopolar machines, I suppose. They hopefully demonstrate the creation of back torque. One day, I'll get around to trying a few of these ideas out. Until then, I can only wonder if they will work. Some thought experiments about moving conductors and magnetic fields can be found here: Difference between linear and rotating systems Interesting discussion in Google groups about some concepts illustrated here If you have any questions or comments, please click the above link to access my guestbook. | Why not leave some comments?
