A Magnetic Field Orientation That Changes the Fundamental Design of Motors

I migh sound negative but when I was reading through this website it looked a bit like free energy scams to me, "stick a rod into the ground and voila, bulb is lit". drawings of magnets with two poles adjecent to the same pole- when I was attending physics course our proffesor told us that magnet would rearrange so there would be 2 poles if we tried tricks like this.. I'd like to see the 'how it's built' before I can attempt to get rid of my scepticism..

Yeah, doing some googling it seems that if you for example glue two together in a NS-SN type fashion that they would either turn into a single magnet as you are describing, or if its unstable then the two fields will demagnetize each other over some time.

But having said that, there's probably a few openings for research in there where you can experiment with different field/magnet shapes, sizes and counts.

You could in theory make that with two solenoids sharing a core and inverting the electric field and make it work like a NS-SN joined magnet.

But I guess it would heat up fairly quickly, having to fight the force of the opposing S-S poles. Now I want to try it.
