A development by Murata Manufacturing could make electric vehicle wireless charging more flexible and efficient. Wireless charging for could be one of the game-changing technologies that helps to increase the adoption of electric vehicles. A few products are already being tested in the field, including electric buses in England and Germany. At least one company [...]

A REAL and WORKING Magnetic Motor Spinning Indefinitely

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Magnetic Power on February 6, 2013

Ok, I saw this on Gizmodo (unexpectedly), and despite the fact that I’ve been blogging for five years now I’ve never actually seen something this amazing – the famous magnetic motor spinning by itself indefinitely, like this video shows. Now, I don’t think there’s any trick involved, there couldn’t be, could it? Just watch the [...]

New Japanese Magnet Has Fewer Electrons, Leads to More Efficient Energy Tech

Posted by Leigh Kim in Magnetic Power on January 19, 2013

Researchers at the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute at Wako, Japan have discovered a magnet that becomes weaker as the number of electrons increases. In other words, a magnet can be stable without excess electrons, signifying the presence of an energy-dissipation-free electrical mode suitable for low power electronic applications. Powerful magnets do not need an abundance [...]

Converting Magnetic Energy Into Electric Voltage Using Power Spintronics

Posted by Mila Luleva in Energy news, Magnetic Power on January 4, 2013

The American Institute of Physics’ (AIP) journal Applied Physics Letters, published a report, which shows a new application of spintronics. According to the study, it is now possible to convert magnetic energy into electric voltage by changing the dynamics of magnetization using magnetic nanostructures. The recently identified electromotive force, also known as spinmotive force, might just [...]

Researchers Prove the Existence of a New Magnetic Behavior

Posted by Mila Luleva in Magnetic Power on December 22, 2012

The two types of magnetism have been known since the 1970s when Nobel Prize was given to Louis Neel. In both ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism, the materials should be cooled below certain temperature so that they can be magnetic. Scientists at MIT published a study in this week’s issue of the journal Nature, where they report [...]

German Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Completes 40,000 Hours Endurance Test, Exceeds Expectations

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Magnetic Power on March 30, 2012

“Time will tell,” they say. Well, time has told good things about a planar solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) used in industrial purposes, which has recently completed and even exceeded 40,000 hours of continuous operation. The fuel cell, originally designed and built at the Jülich Institute of Energy and Climate Research in Germany, is operating [...]

Video of a Working Homemade Linear Magnetic Motor

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Magnetic Power on March 14, 2012

I accidentally stumbled upon this three-year-old video today, watched it and realized that the guy has just demonstrated what many people don’t believe or want to believe: that magnetic motors exist, work and can provide useful effects to humanity. This is a demonstration of a linear magnetic motor in which the experimenter puts a piece [...]

A Ferrofluid-Based Free Energy Device You Should Experiment

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Free Energy, Magnetic Power on August 5, 2011

Someone got my attention these days with a device supposed to produce energy by using ferrofluids. He called this device “Continuous Friction Motion Machine,” and the energy generated would be dead cheap.

2W Magnetostriction-Based Vibration Harvester Lights Up 50 LEDs

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Magnetic Power on June 23, 2011

Following up with a piece of news we wrote about on December 1st, last year, TechOn reports that Toshiyuki Ueno from Kanazawa University has developed a magnetostriction-based energy harvesting device that can produce up to 2 watts of electricity from harvesting vibrations. To be noted that this isn’t piezoelectricity, which we’ve gotten used to lately.

Magnetic Effect of Light Could Lead to New Solar Panels Technology

Posted by Mike Sandru in Magnetic Power, Solar Power on April 19, 2011

The great side about physics is that it discovers things where you would least expect them to be found. For example, just when you thought you knew everything about light, here comes an exciting new discovery that could become an alternative source of power, involving the magnetic properties of light!

SMES: New Energy Storing Technology by ABB Using Electromagnetic Fields and Superconductivity

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Energy Storage, Magnetic Power, Superconductors on March 10, 2011

ABB, a Swiss-based engineering company, has presented a prototype of their innovative superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES), at a DOE ARPA-E conference which took place in Washigton D.C. at the beginning of this month. Their 3.3 kWh proof-of-concept SMES is not very cost-effective for the moment, but may one day provide cleaner storage solutions for excess alternative energy.

MERS Device Harnesses Residual Magnetic Power Produced by Electrical Current

Posted by Mike Sandru in Magnetic Power on September 27, 2010

After an experiment performed at a military hotel in Tokyo, the system called Magnetic Energy Recovery Switch (MERS) racked up a peak power savings of 39 percent. Now, researchers want that MERS to be implemented in the entire facility by next year, including the printing room, offices, gym, laundry and a break room.

Berkeley Researchers Advance In Studying How Magnets Can Be Used in Fridges

Posted by Mike Sandru in Experiments, Magnetic Power on July 6, 2010

According to the researchers, in the future, our refrigerators could use magnets to keep the food cold. Besides the fact that one such refrigerator uses less power and runs quieter than a conventional fridge, it wouldn’t contain any hydrofluorocarbons (HCF), gases that contribute to the greenhouse effect.

Working Magnetic Motor Demonstrated at Delft University in The Netherlands

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Free Energy, Magnetic Power, Video on April 26, 2010

An inventor from Turkey, Muammer Yildiz, as Overunity.com and Pesn.com report, has just demonstrated his own version of a magnetic motor at the University of Delft, in the Netherlands, in front of an audience made of university staff and students. His device ran for more than 10 minutes, rotating a fan. The wind speed was measured and it has been concluded that the power of Yildiz’s magnetic motor is about 250 W.

The Large Hadron Collider Could Help Find Magnetic Monopoles

Posted by Ovidiu Sandru in Magnetic Power on March 29, 2010

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN could change physics the way we know it. James Pinfond, from the University of Alberta, made a theory according to which magnetic monopoles could exist – unleashing the way for new kinds of energy.
