With today’s increasing focus on protecting the environment, magnetic energy is often overlooked as one of the answers to our energy needs. It should be noted that magnets provide an ongoing power source that never needs to be thrown away.
“Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world’s machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels.” – Nikola Tesla
Providing Permanent Power
Magnets can provide permanent power for an endless array of applications. This includes televisions, computer disks, video tapes, speakers, microphones, transportation, credit cards, telephone receivers, phone ringers, microwave tubes and more. There is no need to throw away magnets. Even if they get damaged or lose some of their power, they can be re-magnetized in many cases.
Recent studies have concluded there are benefits to explore by using “spin batteries,” a battery that is “charged” by applying a large magnetic field to nano-magnets in a device called a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ).
This new technology is a step towards the creation of computer hard drives with no moving parts, which would be much faster, less expensive and use less energy than current ones. In the future, the new battery could be developed to power cars.
Improving Recycling Techniques
Magnets are used daily throughout the world to enhance the recovery of materials during the recycling process.
Hundreds of tons of ferrous metals are being diverted from landfills by giant magnets. These magnets pass over dry commercial waste and pick up ferrous material, such as remnants of steel piping, and separate it for recycling.
Steel, iron ore and other metals are saved for reuse which saves precious resources and landfill space.
Increasing Fuel Conservation
For many years, NASA has used magnetic fields to increase the BTU [energy] output of hydrogen rocket fuel. This technology is still being explored for more everyday uses.
