Jeff Cook Effect Spinning.wmv

A demonstration of low-energy ceramic magnets spinning one way and rotating the opposite around the face of a Cook Coil. This is but one aspect of the Jeff Cook Effect, using a Cook Coil. For more info, feel free to visit www.JeffreyNCook.com at your leisure.

Ok this might be stupid question and I would like an answer by someone that has an open mind and a grasp on this teq, couldn't we loop the every day wires we use in our house and have mutable magnetic generators at these loops to increase efficiency in our homes well using regular current for every day usages?

[jnoelcook]

@1freedomfighter11 , there are ways to take the electricity coming in the home and using it in a more effecient manner. But it isn't so easy. A serious research fund would need to be set up for even the first technological component.

I wish I could ask Jeff some questions like why isn’t he a particle scientist instead of antigravity scientist. Like a real scientist instead that will end up in New York city NYC in New Year's Eve 2000. Cause he collided the wrong particles.

[flowerbower]

@shawnmccori If he were any sort of real scientist, he wouldn't be here on YouTube in the first place. There were people like him in the Victorian era; they would take the latest discoveries of Faraday, etc., and present them to the ignorant masses as being some sort of magic.

[jnoelcook]

@flowerbower, why wouldn't I be here? Everyone uses YouTube these days. ??? And if you do indeed know much about Faraday, which I do, you'd know that even his boss didn't agree with the effect that made him famous and he urged him to stop publicizing it. Faraday said the same thing I'd say, "uh...nope."

[jnoelcook]

@shawnmccori, ask any question you like. Per the latest, why aren't I a particle physicist? Well, 'cause I'm not motivated by that branch. The latter part of the question doesn't make much sense to me though. Sorry.

[flowerbower]

@jnoelcook [cont] you know a) that he tried to steal the credit for Faraday's discoveries, b) that he did not invent the lamp that carries his name and c) it was later proved that the thermodynamic experiment, which earned Davy his first important post, must have involved his blatant faking of data?

I am not saying that you should not experiment; only that you should take expert advice on the interpretation of the results before broadcasting them.

[flowerbower]

@jnoelcook [cont] now that this would constitute a perpetual motion machine and the looked-for behaviour therefore could not occur. But that stupid experiment is often still seen on YouTube and the crackpot 'Dr' (bought) Bearden even patented it some years ago. Even more worryingly, the too open-minded journal, Foundations of Physics, even carried a paper (by a bunch of mid-European physicists) which 'explained' the Bearden 'MEG'.

On the subject of Faraday's boss, presumably Davy, did

[flowerbower]

@jnoelcook [cont] you are unaware that an American experimenter discovered induction at the same time as Faraday, but lost out on the fame because communications were so slow in those days. Another scientist missed out on discovering it first because he was TOO careful with his experiments. He kept the coil and galvanometer far apart and thus missed the transient effect. Most scientists of the day thought that they would get a current simply by wrapping wire around a magnet. It is obvious ...

[flowerbower]

@jnoelcook If he looked at your 'effect', I think that he would immediately point out that you have not taken any steps to eliminate the influence of purely mechanical phenomena; such as gyroscopic ones.

I have also read all of Faraday's letters, and his diary. So, I would be interested to know your reference for the 'boss anecdote'. What does that mean anyway: 'did not agree with the effect'? Did not agree that it was occurring, or did not agree with Faraday's interpretation of it? Perhaps ...

[flowerbower]

@jnoelcook Every deluded amateur certainly is; each with his own perpetual motion or anti-gravity machine. That is the point of science education: to give students the 'tools' to avoid self-delusion and to analyse 'phenomena' systematically. Have you read Faraday's experimental note-books on electromagnetism from cover to cover? I have. They are a joy to read. It often looks as if he is simply repeating an experiment, but each subtle change is designed to eliminate an alternative explanation ..

[jnoelcook]

Excellent, guys, You know an effect isn't catching on until at least some begin to criticize not only the effect, but especially the discoverer...with nonsense remarks. :)
