I woke up at 3am and it dawned on me that the wires providing the current have an opposite torque on them. so in this system I made the wires rotate one direction and the disks spins in the other direction. What I am trying to figure out is if the field is rotating with the magnet or not. I learned this is the Faraday Paradox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_paradox. I would have to read the article on Wiki a few more times to understand it. But my theory is that the field on the magnet holds still and the field produced by the current in the disk and wires acts against the field. If the field of the magnet is providing the opposite torque for the disk and the wires to spin then the system is producing torque with no opposite torque acting anywhere. Or should I say the opposite torque is provided by the UNIVERSE and we would not be able to get outside the universe to measure this torque.

  • try in the wire you are holding

  • @ollieoniel but I think the wires I'm holding are too far away for that strong of an interaction. My therory is the torque is acting on space.

  • it seems that te reaction comes from the space ...maybe from the aether....most probably

  • @z1zaz yes but i wouldnt use the word "electron" there. I would rather use positve vs negative "flow" interaction. Or North vs South "flow" interaction. Its more intuitive and less logical, but seriously, electrons are NOT the fundamental elements of this universe

    peace

  • The field of a magnet is comprised of electron orbit spin alignments -

    these are not stationary.

    ALWAYS think of a magnet as an electron gyroscope having pole to pole axis -

    then everything will fall into place !

  • Magnet repeal from wire and wire repeal from magnet in opposite direction in circular fashion so that is something worth cheacking out ;)

  • @1bengrubb the magnetic field strength goes down as you move away from the wire but the length of wire and the leverage of the wire on the magnetic field go up. whats interesting is no one knows if the magnetic feild is moving or its still when the magnet is rotated in that way it might be attached to space. Also If you try rotate the magnet on its own there wont be any current induced.
