Well if it wasn't for differing ideas this World would be a dull place.
Good luck.
Wasn't the base idea of the EPG to pump a gaseous magnetic fluid around inside and then pickup the current from the windings on the outside? And because it is a closed loop, it costs you nearly nothing to just pump the gas around in a big circle, but the potential to get quite a bit of magnetically induce electrical output is high. So what you are asking is could we pump the gas real fast by creating a plasma discharge inside the EPG angled in such a way to make the gas circulate real fast. That about right?
So with a little mechanical work to the EPG, why not place a couple of spark plugs or electrodes and hit them with a plasma spark as to force a circular rotation. Yeah, seems viable. I played with Aaron Murakami's plasma spark and it is pretty easy. Basically you create a typical high voltage spark and then using a HV diode allow a high current source to discharge following the spark. You can dump however many amps you want depending upon the diodes you use. The spark acts like a short circuit when it jumps so the alternate high amperage path through the diode just follows the spark and presto, plasma. I think modern TIG welding machines use this same technique so you don't have to actually touch the welding material with the tip to start the arc.
So my next question is what within the EPG handles the massive gas expansion during a plasma spark? Or are you thinking just little plasma balls timed in a fashion similar to a particle accelerator? Good grief, maybe I just discovered what CERN is really up to.
Thanks, I guess that was what I was trying to brainstorm about without trying to
go into any details on how it could be done.
Maybe the plasma thing is the key here, once that is up and running then maybe
it will make the magnetic fluid generate quite a bit more of electric energy in the
pick up coil's as opposed to "merely" accelerating the magnetic fluid via the
"accelerating" coils.
To be even more adventurous I'd go a step further and suggest to set the whole
magnetic fluid on fire, I.E turn the magnetic fluid itself into a plasma, then
accelerate that plasma around using the accelerating coils.
Talk about tremendeous electric energy in the pick up coils
:D
