Question

Can electricity be generated through centrifugal force on a disk excited with a magnetic field?

In the Faraday disk , can centrifugal force be used to obtain a better ratio between the energy used and the energy obtained , I am not saying or implying over unit, I am just looking for a better method to obtain electricity.

    I think that only in superconductors or in materials with very high carrier mobility the centrifugal force becomes significative. I've seen some strange effects in high speed angular rotative cutter disks - but they seemed rather ambiguos, the speed was 12000 rpm. Above 30000 rpm one needs special bearings - and the spent energy is quite large - not to mention the stresses in the rotating piece.

    Mircea ,

    I agree with you , that under normal circumstances the electrical force between the protons and the electron is much much bigger than any centrifugal force, but I wonder that under the magnetic field the electrons excitation may reduce this force. Maybe , lowering the temperature with liquid Hydrogen , we can get semi superconductor, that will also contribute to reduction of the force between the electron and the proton core. With regards to the speed , I can reduce the rpm , increasing the radius of rotation, to avoid too much stress in the bearing, I do have to cope with the structure to support such increase in centrifugal force and size.
    I thank you for your comments , it gave me a different perspective that what I have, it always nice to have a different and fresh view of the same problem. Have a nice week end.
    Regards.
