Something in-between a Magnet and an Electret...?

[tim11]

Hi Folks,
I'd like to pose a question / thought experiment... Please excuse me if the question has been asked before, or if it's really really stupid...

If:

A) a 'magnet' is created by putting a conductor in a strong magnetic field for a bit, and,

B) an 'electret' is created by putting an insulator in a strong electric field (for a bit)...

And a magnetic field is essentially pure current, while an electric field is pure voltage...

Is it not possible to create:

C) a 'poweret' which is created by putting a *semi-conductor* in a strong electric field & a strong magnetic field - for that bit of time...

Your wise responses are gratefully received. :-)

you're on to something with that. even bearden mentions stacking an electret on a magnet to get EM energy. not sure if he meant usable power or not though.

I think electrets open the door to many new discoveries. I've heard that they push away from a magnet in motion. but not a stationary magnet.

also I heard that glass epoxy (for glass repair) is a good easy to mold dielectric that can be used to make electrets.

I think the fact that we don't have electret toys and such is indicative of suppression of electrets. magnets and magnetic toys are everywhere. wouldn't it be cool to have Lego type blocks that we're made of electrets so they stick themselves together?

just my thoughts, let me know if you make any electrets I'd love to see how you do it because that's my current creative barrier.

Wow. Thanks guys :-)

The process for making the electrinium material doesn't sound like something I could attempt in my shed unfortunately... In fact it sounds fiendishly difficult.

The material itself was always going to be crucial. I did have silicon/germanium etc in mind when I posted - as suitable semi-conductors. I wonder if it'd be possible to use something easier to produce. I suppose this is exactly what the crystal-battery experimenters are attempting.

I can't help wondering if ferrite might work. (Perhaps Silicon Ferrite) It's magnetic, and yet non-conductive. Maybe if it was heated to near it's melting point, (assuming it didn't change chemically), and then a current is driven thru it till it re-sets, it could have similar properties to the proposed electrinium...?
