things do not work differently out in space, they work the same everywhere.
Are you on the outside of a spaceship? No? Than why would spin be needed to "simulate" gravity?
It is quite simple, it is even taught in grade school here in the US, it is a force called "centripidal force".
As described in my above post, just like putting water on a ball and spinning it, what does the water do? It flies away.
When your inside a spinning spaceship, your being pushed away because of the spin, but you can't fly away as your inside of it. So it forces you to the wall, at a rate that increases with the angular momentum( speed of the spin).
It is in no way gravity, and has absolutely nothingg to do with it.
As I have just explained, on earth we are on the suface being pushed out by the spin ( water on a ball) and gravity overcomes this and still holds us down. In a spaceship we are on the inside, so the spin cannot throw us away, and we remain trapped inside, only pushed to the walls, to "simulate" gravity.

For unlimited energy just look at the spinning ball you are living on... or oh yes... that will run out of power too...

Try reading some of the posts in this thread, "cupcake". I was responding to another members statement about gravity being caused by spin. He misunderstands the science involved so I was showing him his error, so he might be able to deny his ignorance.
I just don't see this working out though, as unlike most of the others with fixed magnets on a spinning wheel, this one uses a ball bearing running along a wheels interior, which imparts more friction than the other concepts I have seen.
Scaling it up, will only cause even more friction, using a bigger magnet to increase power would also only add more friction, as the force imparted to the wheel as it is pulled to the magnet would increase.
Not saying I am right of course, as this is the first one of this style I have seen, and haven't really investigated much yet. But I am not seeing an overunity device.
I am seeing another version of the same old novelty type item that is cool to look at, but not really good for much else.

The person is powering this device with their arm.
He does move the wheel with his hand the first time he starts it going but not the second time. Second time the magnet, gravity and the ball is doing all the work.
The power input I'm referring to is his/her hand moving toward and away from the wheel.
If you were to try to reproduce the same results using the wheel to power the movement of the magnet, the device would stall.
Less than 1% magnetism lost every 10 or so years. Negligible.

Another thing I wanted to look into is how much excess energy do our cars produce?

What do you mean by "excess energy"? Cars are engineered to use as much energy as possible driving themselves forward. Energy is lost to the environment in via sound and heat (though it ultimately all ends up as heat) - how do you propose to harvest this?
Anything that is trying to convert the car's kinetic energy to electricity (such as via induction) will put a drag on the car and will cause it to use more fuel.

How do you charge your Sat Nav?
The M25 in London has 196,000 vehicles per day - if each one of these vehicles could be fitted with the wireless resonance device it would be a sensible solution to reducing the amount of fossil fuels needed in power stations.

Through the 12V system, which runs from the alternator, which is driven by the engine, which burns fuel. Whenever I'm charging my sat nav I use slightly more fuel than when I'm not. The bigger the power draw I put on the electrical system, the more fuel I use. It is not free energy.

I'm afraid it wouldn't. It would be a horribly inefficient way to generate electricity as compared to a power station.edit on 27/10/12 by FatherLukeDuke because: (no reason given)
No if you spin a magnet over a copper coil it generates electricity, this is has no impact on fuel consumption because the wheels are already spinning. Utilizing the spinning wheels this is extra power for no additional cost, not free power.
