Is The Magnetic Motor Greener than…?

In this article I will attempt to check out the ‘Green’ credentials of the Magnetic  Motor  v’s the Wind turbine,  Solar Energy and Nuclear Power – with maybe a few more thrown in for good measure !

In this age of ‘Austerity measures’ more and more people are looking around for ways to save money on their everyday house-hold bills, and the electricity costs of running a house or business are one of the obvious areas where savings can and should be made.

The Hojo Magnetic Motor which is the main subject of this site, is in fact only one of the ‘green’ alternative sources of power being promoted in the media just now. How though does it compare with the more well known sources of green power on the market ? Lets look at the main credentials of the Magnet motor before we check them against the competition.

Stats for the Magnetic Motor

• Zero pollution: The magnetic motor releases no toxic fumes or gasses to pollute the atmosphere.
• Production pollution: There is minimal ‘production pollution’ involved with the magnetic motor as the materials are few and basic.
• Low carbon footprint: Because the construction materials are quite basic, they are usually locally sourced, making for a low carbon footprint.
• Not weather reliant: The Magnetic Motor Can produce power 24/7 regardless of the weather conditions.

The Magnetic Motor v’s – Solar energy

Solar energy is perhaps the best known of all the renewable energy sources on the market today – at least in the western world. What are the ‘green credentials’ like however?

• Zero pollution: This scores well in that once it is sitting up there on the roof or whatever, it does indeed produce no pollution in the course of producing power.
• Production Pollution: Not so good. Polysilicon by product silicon tetrachloride, from the manufacture of solar panels have left whole villages in China completely contaminated and poisoned. Read this article by the Washington post.
• Low Carbon Footprint: Again because of sea and air miles used up owing to the far away nature of Solar Panel production (China is amongst the cheapest). The carbon footprint for Solar panels is high.
• Weather reliant: Solar energy does of course depend on sunshine – even the most advanced panels require the sun to shine in order for them to be effective

Magnet motor v’s – Wind Turbine

• Environmental pollution: This is an area not so well considered, but the fact is that wind turbines cause tremendous damage to the environment in the area of their foundations. Around 300 cubic yards of concrete are needed to keep the Turbine stable. Usually sited on moorland or pristine heather fields, this causes tremendous environmental damage.
• Wind Turbine production: Like any major industrial or engineering facility, the wind turbine is
• Carbon Footprint? The fact is that the turbines are produced and transported over vast areas thus increasing their carbon footprint, owing to the various pollutants produces during their transport. The composite materials required during production and coating of the blades with solvents also causes real concern to environmentalists.
• Weather Reliant: Wind turbines are of course reliant on the weather, in particular the wind ! However even that can be seen as a double edged sword, as they will not operate at all if the wind exceeds the safe operating speeds. This means that for a large period of time the turbine is in fact inoperatable, unlike the magnetic generator.

The Hojo Magnet v’s – Nuclear Power!

• Enviromental Impact: Nuclear power is perhaps one of the most talked about sources of energy for the 21^st century, and it is true that to an extent it produces to pollution (near zero carbon emissions)  – unless of course you include the fact that it has a nuclear by-product that will go on to poison the whole planet for millennia ! It is however regarded as ‘clean’ energy by many and it is a fact that it out-produces all other power sources quite substantially.
• Nuclear production: The pollutant effects of a nuclear power plant are almost completely on the building of the plant itself. Thousands of tons of concrete are used in the construction of the plant. Of course the radio-active material produced has to be stored somewhere, and this in turn leads to a MAJOR contamination issue potentially.
• Nuclear carbon footprint: This is primarily caused by the production of the concrete and the mining of uranium, which has to be mined, processed and transported to the site.
• Weather reliant? Of course the nuclear plant is not reliant on the weather, however consider the Tsunami impact of the Japanese nuclear reactors – food for thought.

To Summarise the Magnetic Motor approach.

This is of course not a complete or even particularly detailed report on the renewable energy sources out there, but should be regarded as a brief overview of the subject. It is interesting to note the  Magnet motor is not widely talked about, why is this ? I can only guess that because of the simplicity of it’s design and production. The fact that almost anyone is able to build it, thereby losing the major power companies millions; could mean that the story of the Magnetic Motor is being suppressed by the powers-that-be, for economic or even political reasons.
