I am most certain that Gary did not find a new effect but that he thought of
a novel implementation for a magnetic motor. I'm not sure he even knew what
he was doing. I don't mean that in a bad way, but could he have known what
we know today about the lines of flux? The only thing he would have had is
iron filings. I'm not saying he didn't know about flux lines, but I wonder
if he connected the "effect" with what looks (to me anyway) to be just a
cool way of diverting flux to do work. What are your thoughts on this?
I've already did the experiment #2 with strong magnets with little
difficulty, now that I think I know what's happening. Not only is size and
thickness of the iron a concern, but the elevation of the fixed magnet. It
seems that the flux influence on the moving magnet needs to be on the edge
and then, when diverted, the moving magnet will fall. There does seem to be
a way to get pole reversal out of this too, but it doesn't seem necessary
with Gary's implementation and it seems to be a factor of geometry and
placement.
Look at elevation of the fixed magnet in experiment #1, 2 and 3 vs. the
variation of experiment #3 (the spinning magnet one). The are almost
reversed in the sense that first the fixed is higher and then the moving one
is higher. It's not the elevation that matters, that is just how Gary
implemented keeping the magnets appart enough to be on the edge of
influence. Then it's just a matter of flux diverting and he had a good way
to cause it to flip-flop automatically.
I think much of what we hear about it the way of free energy has a good
basis in fact, but it's left up to someone to come up with a good
implementation. So often we find ourselves trying to duplicate someone
else's work exactly, and we don't look for what works and what doesn't about
their idea.
If we just concentrated our collective efforts on the "what part doesn't
work" and "what is common between all these blasted things", I believe we
could get something to work.
Can someone else confirm what I am thinking about this Gary "Effect"?
Thanks,
Ed
