Apr 15, 2011 - can i use as small as 9 cm rod magnets to generate electricity????

May 4, 2011 - @dpattiris nothing happens, it must move thats the point. Nice presentation, to simplistic tho. Generators don't have magnets, they have coils, to create magnetic field and those are powerd by diesel generators.

May 4, 2011 - you can produce electricity with water or light. Coal is used to heat up the water, to get steam, which runs steam turbine. Magnetic field (not necessarily a magnet, can be a coil) is just one step in the process of getting electricity

May 9, 2011 - I didn't know about aluminium wire. Is it more efficient through it's weight?

May 15, 2011 - no. because their is such of a charge, the electricity wont be able to get through

Jun 13, 2011 - @dpattiris you can say nothing because the amount generated would be so little that it wouldnt power anything

Jun 13, 2011 - Yes, aluminium can conduct electricity.The atomic number of aluminium is 13. Its electronic configuration is 2,8,3.The last three electrons are free to move within the metal.

Jun 27, 2011 - I like my esteemed teacher to guide me how to modify a motor cage three phase or single phase arrdilla to 220Vac to install the rotor magnets are m otoro 4 or 6 pole atte jose kings guadaluoe hope my email is ilumina33@hotmail.com support and thanks for these videos

Jun 28, 2011 - And what do the diesel generators use: magnets!

sphinxart Says:

Jul 12, 2011 - What if one used the natural opposing forces of two permanent magnets to move the copper wire through the field, then you wouldn't need the electromagnets? Surely?

Jul 24, 2011 - I would like to speak with Steve about specific generation of electricity using permanent magnets and coils... I can not find an email address for Steve... Mine is : RGDSr@juno.com

Sep 20, 2011 - In reality Aluminium is a metal with many interesting properties it's diamagnetic which hardly many metals are it can form a superconductor at 1.2Kelvin it has many fun properties and it is highly reactive.

livedandletdie Says:

Sep 20, 2011 - 0:40 No you're not smarter than me. Smartness is not measured in either IQ or knowledge it's measured in how well you can handle information. Aluminum isn't the name for aluminium in the USA it's still aluminium. They haven't checked their dictionaries yet. And if someone really wanted to know how electricity is generated they should study physics in school. And last but not least electricity is generated by changes of electrons in matter.

RiierFalk Says:

Dec 24, 2011 - induction of a metal (metal is likely to release electrons) in a magnetic field will create a flow of electrons in the metal (electricity)

Feb 11, 2012 - taking things a little personally?

bernzeppi Says:

Feb 28, 2012 - Yeah I do have a problem with that... I apologize.My only defense is I just got off climate change denier blogs where ignorance is infuriating and I've let it bleed into other more altruistic endeavors.I'll try and be more careful my fury isn't bestowed upon people who don't deserve it.Ta.
