NEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCE The self-symmetrising mechanism The energy contained in space plays a fundamental role in every electric system. The reason why this fact does not become obvious is that the electric energy input into an ideal electric motor matches the same quantity of energy which is given off mechanically. It seems as if the electric energy is converted directly into mechanical energy. What goes in at the input comes out again from the output. However, this is not the case! The induced electric energy is first given off to space and is completely lost in an observable sense. This energy now exists in a virtual form and spreads in space with the speed of light. Thereafter, this virtual energy helps integrate energy from space into a mechanical (visible) form of energy. This mechanical energy can now be tapped at the shaft of the electric motor. Depending upon the load on the axis of the motor, a reverse induction flows back to the electromagnet. This reverse induction destroys the magnetic field in the coil and closes the door. Since the principle of action and reaction always remains in balance, the energy lost to space is exactly equal to the quantity of energy that can be taken out of space at some other place. The reason why exactly only so much energy is converted into a mechanical form as was "lost" earlier in electrical form has to do with the phenomenon of symmetry, which the author calls the "self-symmetrising mechanism in electromagnetic systems". The self-symmetrising mechanism enforces the conservation of the observable energies involved. This is the reason why energy is conserved anyway. The author is convinced that the self-symmetrising mechanism also exists in other interactions. The first law of thermodynamics (conservation of energy) now gets a new meaning. The energy in space must be taken into account. All electromagnetic systems are energetically open systems. It is only because they are in equilibrium with the exchange of energy which is within space that they behave like closed systems. If an asymmetric electromagnetic system is to be realised which has a coefficient of performance greater than 100 per cent, then the self- symmetrising mechanism must be bypassed (see figure 1). To describe electric systems, electric engineers and physicists use a theory which is based upon a modified version (1964) of the actua Maxwellian equations. In classic electrodynamics (c. 1900), it was firs assumed that the propagation o EMFs is instantaneous. It is known that EMFs do not propagate instantaneously, but at the speed o light. If an instantaneous propagation of EMFs were assumed, then the transmission of electromagnetic energy would also be at unlimited speed and the input energy in an electromagnetic system would be converted in a direct way into the "Maxwellian equations"), EMFs propagate at the speed of light and contain energy. Looking at an energy conversion process via EMFs and the energy generation within electromagnetic generators, the law of conservation of energy is at work. n addition, Maxwellian theory does not contain an energy conversion process between the EM system and space-time or the quantum vacuum. The transmission of EM energy is not considered to be instantaneous, but he input energy in an EM system is still converted in a direct way into he output energy, i.e., input -> output. To make a direct conversion of EM energy possible, the electromagnetic ield is distanced from space-time. But the problem is that the EM field and the EM source charge are connected with space-time, and that is why it is actually not valid to disconnect them from each other. Using quantum electrodynamics, the carrier and causative agent of the EM interaction is the virtual photon. Since these virtual photons emerge "just like that" seemingly from empty space-time or the quantum vacuum, real energy at an electric source charge emerges also "just like that" output energy, i.e., input -> output. In the modern Maxwellian theory (the equations known today as Output Vacuum Figure I: Schematic of the energy conversion mechanism in an electromagnetic system. Process I (input -> vacuum) and process 2 (vacuum -> output) are in equilibrium in all common electromagnetic systems. JUNE - JULY 2010 NEXUS ¢ 51 www.nexusmagazine.com
