Hi Nick,
I wanted to do this @ age eleven (22 years ago), I had misinformation
that copper blocked magnetic fields and so I deduced that a suitable
"shading" type arrangement would produce a "perpectual motion
machine".   Anyway it's all out of my system now !

Robert L. Forward writes most adventurous and yet plausible S.F. on
monopoles, neutron stars, gravity field pecularities etc.

regards,
Graham Daniel.

Steam engines may be out of fashion, but when you consider that an
internal combustion engine would require recovery of waste heat by
transfer just before top dead centre then fashion becomes rather
redundant, USE STRATIFIED HEAT EXCHANGERS ! and external combustion.

You heard it first from: Graham Daniel, managing director of Electronic
Product Enhancements.
