ryan2006 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 Spherical magnetic ball that is hollow on the inside. The hollow is filled with a liquid magnetic solution or the ball contains smaller magnetic ball, preferably an odd number of balls within the larger magnetic ball. Placed in zero gravity the magnetic forces turn the large ball while the solution moves creating heat that could be converted into electricity. On the otherhand if the smaller ball were placed in the hollow and it was placed in zero gravity it would need wire conductors penetrating the device to utilize the electromagnetic energy. Quote
alexander Posted July 8, 2008 Report Posted July 8, 2008 ok, i dont see a use for it... also there is almost no such thing as zero gravity, as any object that has a mass, creates their own :) Quote
ryan2006 Posted July 12, 2008 Author Report Posted July 12, 2008 There is a huge use for this device on the hub of the international space station Quote
TEguy Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 all the balls would stick together, instead of go through the afford of moving relative to each other to produce electricity Quote
GAHD Posted April 17, 2009 Report Posted April 17, 2009 from what i get from your description, the internal flud wil simply line up with the external magnet's field.Depending on the nature of the fluid this will be a destructive or additive interaction. I don't see the use. Quote
