bag of Monopoles !!!!!




If you believe that the four Maxwell's Equations are complete and correct
as written these days, then a bag of monopoles will let me build an
EXCELLENT perpetual motion machine of the 2nd kind i.e. generating power
with NO power input!

Take a long straight current carrying wire (make it superconducting if you
really don't want ANY input power. Of course this wire will be creating
the usual circularly oriented B field around it.

Take your Bucket-o'-Monopoles and mount it on the end of a rod that is pivoted
so it can rotate around the current carrying wire.

Each monopole will experience a force in the direction of the B field and
proportional to the strength of the field times the pole-strength of the
monopole. So the bucket will be forced into circular motion around the wire,
generating energy per revolution equal to the monopole strength times the
B field strength times the circumference of the circle. (work = Fd)

Of course there will be a bit of friction, but everything else is gravy
of the best kind!

(of course - as soon as monopoles are accepted, a monopole current term
will be added, analogous to the charge-flow term. The monopole current
would be axpected to produce an E field directed to STOP th ecurrent in the
wire.)
