Ok matt, firstly don't get hung up too much on E=MC2 yet, till you understand the mechanism of the catalyst.
What you need to get first is that the magnetism needs a little current in the copper to manifest. If we are pushing too much current in all that happens is the current will oppose your input.
The amount of current needed is dependant on a few variables. but in essence you only need input enough current flow to align your atoms in the copper. by doing this it will also align the electrons in those atoms.
Now some will say the current is instant, but the alignment of the atoms is not. Your magnetic field is growing as the current keeps moving through. Once you have your full alignment of atoms, this is the point you need to loop the coil inductor. this is the phase where a set amount of current was used to align the atoms, we'll call this time the Expansion time. This is your minimum current required. Any more current flow/time used is wasted energy. You can vary this Expansion time by the Inductance of the coil. make the coil more capacitive and the Expansion time is lessened.
If the time is lessened then you will need to put more segments onto the commutator to stop the wasted energy.All this paragraph is called the firing segment.
The Next segment is called the Blank segment. This is where the circuit is cut off. Akin to opening a switch or a reed switch, a spark/spike is made this spark has thrown the circuit into a water hammer scenario but the hammer is not after the switch/valve its the portion before the switch/valve. Any wire that was from the batteries to the commutator has become the working inductor and the shock of the sudden stop has pulled in energy from the free electrons surrounding the wire...this effect on the scale of the system is quite small though. the magnetic strength that was lagging the current flow has now turned and is starting to collapse.This is going to transfer that stored magnetic field back into the copper.This part is not as significant as what follows.
The next segment the Loop, is entered. The brush is wider or as wide as the blank, so the spark has jumped and started a frequency in the coil / capacitor loop this would also create a capacitive circuit. This is where you want to use the collapsing field to create the back emf. The commutator has isolated the inductor, the coil inductor has now been isolated from both sides of the run battery and the inductor has now got a short. A loop circuit. This circuit enables the field to collapse but at the same time the collapse is opposed and this maintains the magnetic field for a longer time period than would normally be the case. This is where the work is done and the torque of the motor comes from. The more the field collapses the more it is opposed.Eventually the field has to collapse and the commutator turns to the firing segment again...
Does everyone get this??
