Trying to think of how to use that around the
house, and not just to keep the cat amused.


That particular prototype isn't making much
usable energy for anything practical...


The only one talking about making useable energy is you.


You were trying to think of how to use it around the
house, for something more than cat amusement.


Yes, but not actually stupid enough to think it might
be useful for generating energy, because I know how
it works and realise it just uses energy. But did wonder
if the movement over along distance might be useful.


Actually, the science behind it is well known, and even though that
particular example was a super tiny one; I do believe it's making enough
mechanical energy to be able to turn a small gear. It also has a little
locomotive force which could be adapted as well. A mini rail gun comes to
mind...

It's a linear motor, they have all kinds of applications, and, they are
capable of making usable energy. Even the tiny one in the video.

So, I don't know why you felt it necessary to try to be a wiseass towards
me? Rather pointless on your part...

Energy has more than one form,


You quite sure you aint actually one of those rocket
scientist pathetic excuses for a bull**** artists ?


I'm not a bull**** artist, but I appreciate your concern.

it would require some form of energy
to do what you were thinking about.


But I realise that the battery provides that.

So, I'm not the only one talking about energy here,


You are the one mindlessly rabbiting on about
MAKING energy.


Well, duh, it's a ****ing motor. They tend to trade the electrical energy
for mechanical energy. You know, to get work done.
