/FacepalmWaiting for another stupid response from Grall.....
Can you say OWNED????
Well well well.....looks like there's already a product based on this regenerative acceleration technology out on the market.
Waiting for another stupid response from Grall.....
And Mize enjoy arguing with your strawman.....
Can you say OWNED????
/Facepalm
You're shitting me, right?
Coz the only OWNED here is your own epic self-pwn; regenerative CHARGING - which is what this french electric bike features - is ancient tech and completely different to the unworkable "regenerative acceleration" BS that's been spouted previously in this thread.
So, yeah... Stupid, indeed!
How about that bet RudeCurve?
Yes, the kinetic energy you get out is greater than than the small nudge you need to start the movement.Visualize two magnets, the closer the magnet the stronger the attraction/repulsion force. Now if you place the magnets just far enough so that they don't pull themselves under their own force you have an energy creating force that only needs a small nudge to get going. Once it gets going there is kinetic energy that is greater than the energy required to get it going.
Same principle as a spark used to ignite fuel but unlike fuel a magnet has fuel stored inside the magnet and doesn't need refueling.
Another way of looking at is if you try to pry apart two magnets the magnets with fight against your prying. Where does the magnet get this continuos energy to try to get back to equilibrium?????
Think about it....how much work/energy does it take to pry apart two STRONG magnets over and over and over again? Lots of energy. Do this everyday for a year and you'd expend A LOT of energy. Now ask yourself this....where does the magnet get this seemingly never ending energy to repeatedly attract/repulse?????
I have watched the video. At no point does it make any claims about recharging the battery with no additional effort. AT NO POINT.Wow...Grall do me a favor and stop foaming at the mouth and watch the video since your kneejerk reactions are clouding your judgement.
Connecting an alternator to a car engine does not make it speed up though... It slows down. And recharging a (partially) electric bike makes it harder to pedal. It's the way it's always been and always will be. Tanstaafl, you know?You CAN recharge the battery while pedaling and/or during acceleration (same concept as a car alternator)
...Which does not exist, because it violates the laws of physics. We've been over this already.Now, what the inventor is doing with this existing system is to add another form of regeneration in the form of RA.
Except this isn't actually the case. Magnets are NOT sources of energy regardless of how you position them in relation to each other or otherwise. Ask any physicist, they'll confirm this.Now if you place the magnets just far enough so that they don't pull themselves under their own force you have an energy creating force that only needs a small nudge to get going.
No there isn't.Once it gets going there is kinetic energy that is greater than the energy required to get it going.
Magnets don't have any "fuel" in them, because they aren't sources of energy. If they did have fuel in them they would run out of it very quickly as soon as you put them to work, as there's no such thing as free energy.Same principle as a spark used to ignite fuel but unlike fuel a magnet has fuel stored inside the magnet and doesn't need refueling.
Logical fallacy... The magnets aren't doing any of the "fighting". You are! Again, ask any physicist. If you stick a magnet on an iron ceiling the magnet isn't expending infinite fuel fighting gravity. It just sits there; there's no change. It doesn't heat up, move about, or anything. You could just as well have glued it to the ceiling and the effect would be the same: it doesn't produce any actual work. It doesn't produce any work because (again), magnets aren't sources of energy. (Ask any physicist.)Another way of looking at is if you try to pry apart two magnets the magnets with fight against your prying.

Yes, the kinetic energy you get out is greater than than the small nudge you need to start the movement.
The problem is that you fail to look at the whole system, first of all you have to pry apart the magnets and that WILL take at least as much energy as the kinetic energy you get out from the movement.
When you pry the magnets apart you add potential energy, in the same way as you lift an object from the ground, This energy comes from your body.
When you let go of the magnets they will accelerate towards each other and the potential energy gets converted to kinetic energy. When they finally hit the energy will be converted to heat.
The seemingly infinite source of energy you are asking for is from your body, which in its turn needs food food which in its turn will need energy from the sun to grow.
Exactly!Are you saying gravity is not a form of energy?
I have watched the video. At no point does it make any claims about recharging the battery with no additional effort. AT NO POINT.
Quite the opposite in fact, as the video clearly shows you have to switch the contraption FROM pedal assist over to recharging mode.

It's like the standard W=F*d; if d (distance) is zero then the work is zero also.
Gravity is the word we humans use to represent what is actually curvature in space-time. Calling it a form of energy is roughly as correct as calling a hill a source of energy. You may get energy out of it by rolling an object down it, but the process gives no more energy out of it than you put in (less, when you count friction and other losses).Are you saying gravity is not a form of energy?
Then the magnets serve no purpose, because the electric energy needed to keep the rotor spinning is by neccessity going to be at least equal (due to resistance, friction etc) to the repellation force of the magnets, or the rotor would stop on its own.With an ideal magnet configuration and the right timing for the pulses you could keep the motor moving with very little energy.
The pendulum of a clock swings with very little energy because there's almost no resistance to its movement.It's like a pendulum in a clock that needs very little energy to keep it swinging.
Exactly!
May the force be with you.
