What is the operating temperature of the magnet?
What is the tensile strength of the magnet material?
Is the bearing assemble water cooled?
How much electrical power can one extract from a 200 HP
2.6 liter engine?

I rest my case. ROFL

I'm guessing he has no intention of giving anything away before he can
commercialize on it.

I am inclined to think he has not thought it out.
As I recall magnetic materials lose their magnetism when heated.
He it certainly a bit naive about PR.

Paul /Chris,
Mark Nye of NTC suggests that Selenium rare earth magnets
are more suited to  high temps. I haven't researched that yet!

Give the guy a break.  The only sin he created if he wants to
commericalize an idea is putting his prototype on the net for everyone
to critize it.   From my take he is an educator at heart and that is a
good thing.  The answer to your last question, and his, is  'It
depends'  But you knew that:)

Chris I have to be in Sacramento for a flight physical somewhere between
the 2nd and 4th of October.   I`ll buy you lunch and keep my questions
brief.  Please send me a contact Tel. number I can reach you at to
fir@gol.com

Thanks

No break.
He could have worded his response in a more gentlemanly manner.
When I put out an idea on the web I back it up with historical research
on the subject. Almost all ideas have been thought of and advances are only
made when materials or other changes occur. When people question my ideas I try to answer to the best of my knowledge. His snide response indicated to me
he had no idea of the problems involved.

I don't think he has a clue judging by his hair brain
low speed gas turbine scheme.

If you want to see some credible work on the turbine integrated generators
put "small turbine powered generators" in google. A little google goes
a long way. That will lead you to this.

Also Caterpillar has done a lot of work on this subject.
Here are a few examples.

If I can find this stuff anybody can find it.
