What is a magnet motor?

A magnet motor, or permanent magnet motor, is a hypothetical device that, if made to work, would use the attraction and repulsion properties of permanent magnets to rotate a shaft indefinitely, or until the magnetic domains disassociate. The concept of the magnet motor is contrary to several known laws of physics, including the law of conservation of energy. Advocates of such devices insist that magnets have the power to do work, but the reality is that a magnetic field has no power to do work unless energy is stored within the field, which is done by moving the magnet with an outside source, such as the movement of one's hand or an electric current. Once stored, and the motor set in motion, this potential energy is quickly converted to kinetic energy, and then to heat through friction. A magnet motor cannot rotate on its own because it produces no energy of its own, thus the very idea of the magnet motor is fundamentally flawed.

What are the two magnets that push and pull in a motor?

The two magnets that push and pull in a motor are the stator magnet and the rotor magnet. The stator magnet is stationary and creates a magnetic field, while the rotor magnet is attached to the spinning rotor and interacts with the stator magnet to generate rotary motion.

What does a field magnet do in a motor?

A field magnet in a motor generates a constant magnetic field that interacts with the magnetic field produced by the armature, causing it to rotate. This rotation creates mechanical energy that drives the motor. The field magnet helps establish the direction of the magnetic field within the motor, ensuring proper operation.

How does a magnet provide energy to a motor?

When a magnet is used in a motor, it interacts with the electrical current flowing through the coils of wire, resulting in the generation of a magnetic field. This interaction creates a force that causes the motor to move, converting electrical energy into mechanical energy. The magnet provides a magnetic field that helps drive the motor's motion.
