sorry, didn't mean to sound condescending, just thought it was funny that in 5 pages of posts, nobody else bought this up

Ahem, More is a term applied to value, and the only value which can be measured in both the sphere and the blue is volume. I guarantee the volume of the blue plastic is less than the volume of the sphere, therefore the ball is more spherical than blue. Thanks for coming out though. I enjoyed the show.

DISCLAIMER: I have no professional qualification for this statement, it is just an observation from my own experiences. I think lumping all problems into one category is the first mistake. If you say to yourself "STRESS is going to eat me alive", all stresses become equal. Then, even the little things can carry a weight which will crush you. So, first you must decide what is bearable and what is not. In other words, you must prioritize the problems you need to fix. Most of the little things can either be fixed or acepted, you just have to face them one at a time. Many of the larger things can also be fixed (athough some may take considerable time and effort), and some will just have to be accepted. In short, there is no easy answer, things go wrong in this world, we just have to fix or accept them one at a time. Jeremy P.S, Reaxation techniques like controlled breathing will help you calm down enough to analyze your problems, but "STRESS" will not go away until you fix or accept them.

I think getting stuck on the word perpetual is a mistake. Would it not be useful, if all we could do is extend the productive output of an existing power source? So, any ideas on tapping the magnetic forces within neodymium magnets?

Could you explain that for me? I was also wondering if there was anyway to overlap the stationary magnetic fields so that there is no where the magnets in motion have to rest? Thanks again, Jeremy

Is it possible to tap into that energy?

Sorry for the delayed reaction, I wasn't plugged in till late last night and had to reharge all day. OK, let's forget the vaccum and infinity for a moment. Is the pendulam spinning or a longer time than the mechanical input provided force to spin, or not. In other words, are the overlapping magnetic fields providing motive power, or does it just appear that way? Just curious and hoping to find some answers here. P.S. I buy my grade 50 neodymium magnets from http://www.leevalleytools.com and I am using both 1/8" and 1/4" magnets in the mechanism which wasn't described above Thanks again for your thoughts in this matter. Jeremy

Hello everyone (a formality for my first post only) So, I built two objects out of neodymium magnets and ball bearings, and then hung one from the bottom of the other. When I spin the bottom object it remains spinning for an impressive amount of time, but it does stop. It's momentum appears to be sustained (it seems to spin longer than the mechanical force applied would provide momentum for) by the force of alternating magnetic fields as they (the magnets on both top and bottom objects) pass by oneanother. My question is simple. Would it keep spinning forever in the vacuum of space or under some set of unknown (to me) circumstances. I'm not a scientist, just a curious mind. So please try to keep your answers simple. also, since this is my first posting, I would also like to thank the people in this community for remaining true to their curiosity and their willingness to share the fruits which were plucked in it's name. I look forward to eating them up like the voracious animal I am, and promise to serve them up as the man I will become. Jeremy
