So laying the puzzle pieces out on the floor, we have:

1. A permanent magnet that is a dielectric object radiating magnetism.
2. Bismuth, that would appear to shield magnetism due to its high dielectric inertia.

Hence, it would seem to me that if a permanent magnet was incased in bismuth, with only one end of its centrifugal edge exposed, you would have the equivalent of a magnetic rocket engine. And if such a composition were to be either mounted on a wheel or positioned at an acute angle to a wheel, you would have the first steps completed in a dead-simple magnet motor.

Now to blow this whole idea out of the water, surely many people have tried this and had disappointing results. It cannot be that easy. Why would there even be such a thing as Mu-Metal if we already have Bismuth? Granted, Mu-Metal is used to redirect magnetism instead of insulate from it.

bismuth only repels centrifugal magnetism, not centripetal.

is a phenomenon in electrodynamics caused by the finite mass of electrons in conducting metal, or, more generally, the finite mass of charge carriers in an electrical conductor.

It is named after T. Dale Stewart and Richard C. Tolman, two American physicists who carried out their experimental work in the 1910s.[1] This eponym appears to be first used by Lev Landau.[2]

In a conducting body undergoing accelerating motion, inertia causes the electrons in the body to "lag" behind the overall motion. In the case of linear acceleration, negative charge accumulates at the end of the body; while for rotation the negative charge accumulates at the outer rim. The accumulation of charges can be measured by a galvanometer.

This effect is proportional to the mass of the charge carriers. It is much more significant in electrolyte conductors than metals, because ions in the former are 103-104 times more massive than electrons in the latter.[1]

In exploring and introducing " Dielectric Inertia " is there a definition ?

magnetic reluctivity

But, all that is just still a miserable explanation (by myself).


ONE one millionth of a gram becomes fatal





I would say that , as analogy, that Bismuth is the "fastest lamborghini element" the empirical cosmos can produce.

all else is incredibly unstable and flies apart at the seams in a less than a heartbeat (in the grand scheme of 'time') and desperately wants to kill and/or poison you and all else that lives.




by sheer deduction, bismuth SHOULD become a NEW BREED of nuclear weapon which is initiated to explosion not by conventional atomic bomb means of critical mass or compression/implosion but by both compression pulse and intense magnetomotive force.
But that is of course speculative.




WHAT IS DIELECTRIC INERTIA???????????????

you only have to ask yourself "WHAT IS THE EXTREME OPPOSITE IMPLICATION OF RADIATION/MAGNETISM" ?


Looking at a hypercube formation of a bismuth crystal should tell most people that answer after a bit of intellectual deduction.

Dielectric Inertia

Edison added Bismuth to his nickel battery, the oxide formed had interesting properties and beneficial.

RE: Ken Wheeler on Dielectric Inerta.
Thinking differently about what happens with magnets in a different way is a challenge.

Many of us are familiar with the term electromagnetic induction used by Michael Faraday 1831
Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Because the existence and nature of negative electricity has unanswered questions the idea of a dielectric inertia may be relevant.
Maxwell thought displacement current was sufficient and that aether would need to be proven first.
Since aether was considered unnecessary I went further back to Faraday as a point where sufficient terminology exists.

I'm pretty much stuck in a rut thinking of practical ways to use bismuth. How about a little kick in the right direction.

next level semiconductors are being developed with bismuth

also see here:

Landau spectrum and twin boundaries of bismuth in the extreme quantum limit


its properties still confound people.

Bismuth -- Glaringly Obvious

The missing component of why bismuth "is the way it is", its is high dielectric inertia

It kind of startles me that nobody can see the glaringly obvious.

server goof, double post.

Need another article now, "Uncovering the missing secrets of Bismuth"


kidding, im killing myself right now on the latest edition.



Heres a 5 pound HUNK O' BISMUTH I just chopped off a 35 pound slab.


This insanely heavy element is a real trip to experiment with.

proves same by ALL its attributes, by its crystalline formation, by everything.



Calling bismuth diamagnetic is like saying the sun is hot, .....


.....yeah, ok, but WHY, HOW is it hot?

What's It Worth: Early Components — Rectifiers - Electronic Products

Selenium rectifiers

One of the more interesting rectifiers was used after World War II. Developed in the 1930s, the selenium rectifier contained a stack of several steel or aluminum plates coated with bismuth or nickel, with a thicker layer of selenium and a halogen element added. Each plate could typically withstand 20 to 22 reverse volts and the voltage rating was easily increased by adding additional plates to the stack at the time of production. Selenium rectifiers were more efficient than vacuum tubes but unfortunately, they had a shorter usable lifespan and could not be easily replaced by the end user. By the 1970s they were replaced by the smaller, more efficient and reliable silicon diode, which was much cheaper to manufacture.

Further to my above comments, the question arising for me regarding bismuth crystal's high dielectric permittivity is how it behaves relative to other crystals, such as quartz, for example. We know that quartz is used to amplify energy. Now does quartz cohere dielectricity or does its energy amplification have more to do with a pulse or pressure (in the case of piezoelectricity) causing the crystal's own molecular bonds to release energy. Ya nye znayu

Anyway, I'm no expert on crystals - haven't researched them. However, if bismuth is high in dielectric permittivity, will its crystals perhaps cohere dielectric energy as they are pulsed?

Now here's a strange thought...
Since they changed all the bird shot from lead to bismuth, and bismuth has higher dielectric permittivity... Suppose a hunter shoots two geese. Now these two geese meet up with another goose who accidentally swallows a magnet. Now these three geese decide to fly south. Funny thing though, the geese who have the bismuth pellets lodged in their tissues feel lighter in air than they used to. An ordinary goose would pass it off as an endorphin rush from euphoric anticipation of a warm vacation in the sunny south. But these are Canada Geese - they know something's different. The other goose still has a neodymium magnet lodged in his gizzard. He feels sluggish, and frankly doesn't believe he'll have enough goose juice in him for the trip south. But one day the three old goose pals are flying in tower formation - that is, one above the other, and the neo mag goose is flying with a bismuth-loaded goose above and below. He feels the levitation, and he makes it to Florida. But then an alligator gets him and can't seem to get himself unstuck from the sewer grate in Pompano Beach.
What's the moral of the story?

Edit: And as the goose with the neo in his gizzard succumbs to the alligator's grasp, he blurts out these final words to his bismuth-laden friends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAk9...etailpage#t=34
Better get back to work.

worth mentioning : Palmer Craig: Hall Effect Device (Battery, rectifier, amplifier)

The device is called an "electromagnetic detector and amplifier" and consists of a series of bismuth plates stacked in a pile and interlaced with copper wires. The bismuth plates are protected by a coating of sulfur because bismuth, a very brittle substance, is likely to crumble.

[TheoriaApophasis]

Ken,
I can't help but consider what value bismuth might have in circuits in terms of negative resistance, given its high dielectric permittivity. Really enjoyed your exposition on it.
Bob

Its ODD you just mentioning that, me and a buddy just got off the phone.


We are ordering (price checking now) 1000 to 2000 pounds of bismuth.
