: : :Electromagnetic Motor : : :Many many years ago in a Boys Own Annual 19xx vintage there was info on :Building a Electromagnetic motor, the Motor ran on just a Antenna.. : :Use a large 1 meter mica disk from memory as the rotor, but why I think :its a meter I just don't know as meters was not used in those days, :unless the article came from the EU.. : : :Any one have a clue..? : : : :
Perhaps you are referring to a Wimshurst Machine

which is an electrostatic induction machine for generating high voltage.
Ya, we're still getting them everyday even with the BP problem. I'm in Panama City Fl. we did see any oil here, one day they did say they got about 10lbs of tar balls off the beach,
coke bottles?
Actually no, that was a home project just to delight me and my physicist buddy. I gave it to a local museum and when I checked back they had done a clean out and tossed it. Kinda ticked me off, I did a nice job on it. A while back I repaired my son's science teachers Van de graaff generator, I got to play with it a while before I returned it :-)
I mis-spent my youth also. I say that because early on in school I tested in the top 2% in science. I didn't have any kind of mentor to guide me along until I was in my late 40's and then I didn't have any math to make it really useful. Spent most of my years as a tech in assembly and repair on video equipment, geophysical test equipment, automobile test equipment, worked in an electric motor repair shop till I got layed of during the Carter recession. I worked with the physicist building high power, high frequency ultrasonic equipment, for use in mostly aqueous solutions. Right now I have work on me and my son's electric gocart, and I'm about
60% finished with two solar collectors simular to this;

Got a 4 ft tesla coil that I never finished, damn! But enough about me.... MikeK
Hee Hee, OK the trout come from the stream behind my house. Google Java Center NY to see the area. Lots of cows, not many people. I go fishing with 'the boys' at Onieda lake north of Syracuse in late Septemeber. This boat fishing is mostly an excuse for drinking beer at 8:00 in the morning. (Though some are more serious than I am.) I've fished in lake Erie, but I don't eat them.
Ok, hadn't heard of "Java Center". Other than the NYS Thruway, we haven't traveled too much around that part of NY (why?). I lived in Hyde Park for a couple of decades and in Vermont for fifteen years after that, so I'm much more familiar with Eastern NY.
You complaining someone else masquerading as you? One email to snipped-for-privacy@their.isp.com and cc: snipped-for-privacy@their.isp.com should fix that, definitely a frowned upon activity -- result should be fast account termination. Unless you've upset your ISP as well ;)
