Chuck, let me ask you a question.  I'm fairly sure you know how most motors work and how they need/use water/steam/fuel/so on - Ok, here's my question, considering the positive and negatives of magnetics, and the strength and longevity they have/can have these days, why doesn't man create a 'serpent chasing its tail' even if it needs a carrot for starters - doesn't seem like it'd be difficult puzzle to solve and sure would be useful if it were - took me about a couple weeks to design a few of my favs.

It's like man doesn't realize that a good alternate fuel is/w/could be no fuel at all.
