IDEAS AND EXPERIMENTS IN MAGNETIC INTERFACING

Simulated experiments on a small scale have begun as a result of developing magnetomechanical devices. Rim-only wheels for automobiles are envisioned, with energy coming from two counter-revolving rim-only flywheels. The proposition that magnetic bearings can only be stable by active feedback is questioned.
