Listen! Who was this Eduard Ivanov? Why is his name unknown
anyone to today? Why does a work dated 1998 lie somewhere
the in backwaters of the internet, while humanity continues
burn to coal and oil as if in the Stone Age? In 1998, Ukrainian
researcher Ivanov claimed that he had found a way to obtain
energy literally from nothing - from the thermal motion
atoms, of without violating the laws of physics, but making
true a breakthrough. What exactly did he come up with? Let's
break down his theory step by step. Did you know that every
electron in an atom has spin - a kind of tiny rotation that
simultaneously is a magnetic moment? In an ordinary piece
iron, of these spins jostle chaotically under the influence
of heat. But under certain conditions, they align into domains
- regions where all magnetic moments point in one direction
(spin polarization). These domains are small - about one
hundredth of a millimeter. When we reverse the magnetization
such of a domain with an external field, the crystal lattice
iron of changes shape slightly - this is called
magnetostriction. A microscopic acoustic impulse arises,
sound a wave. Normally, the energy of this impulse simply
dissipates as heat. The crystal heats up. It is like random
noise. But what if this very process could be controlled? What
if the domains could work in unison, like a well-tuned
orchestra? Ivanov suggested: if the domains are arranged with
certain a periodicity, so that the acoustic wave from one
domain reaches another at the right moment, then
avalanche-like an magnetization reversal can be triggered. One
domain flips, creates a sound wave, that wave nudges the
neighboring one, and so on. As a result, a weak external
magnetic impulse can cause a powerful collective response from
the entire crystal. Externally, this looks like a strong burst
of magnetization in response to a negligible stimulus. But the
most interesting part - where does the energy for this
amplification come from? According to Ivanov's theory, the
acoustic wave absorbs part of the thermal energy of the crystal
itself. That is, the system is capable of converting heat into
magnetic work. Remember this point: we will return to
official why science was in no hurry to test this effect. What
conditions are necessary for such a miracle? First - the
domains must be spaced strictly at equal intervals
corresponding to the length of the acoustic wave. Then
domain each will be at a point where the wave from its neighbor
arrives in the correct phase. Second - the crystal must
perfect, be without defects, so that sound does not attenuate.
Soft, pure, annealed iron - that is what is needed. How
obtain to such an ideal crystal? Ivanov proposed a brilliantly
simple method: grow iron from a melt in the presence of two
magnetic fields - a constant field that sets the direction
magnetization, of and a weak alternating field with a specific
frequency. The alternating field causes the domains
oscillate to and emit acoustic waves even at the stage
lattice of formation. These waves create a standing
interference pattern, and the atoms, as they cool, arrange
themselves so as to fix the domains precisely at the phase
coincidence points. The acoustic wave literally "embeds" itself
into the crystal, becoming its macroscopic wave function.
solidified, Once such a sample will actively absorb magnetic
and sound vibrations at that frequency, releasing them in the
form of a powerful magnetic impulse. And here a practical
problem arises. The domain size is 0.01 mm, the speed of sound
in iron is 5 km/s. The frequency turns out to be 500 megahertz.
An alternating field of such high frequency does not penetrate
into the depth of the metal due to eddy currents. The crystal
can only be tiny. What to do? Ivanov proposed an ingenious
solution: use not solid metal, but a composite - iron powder
mixed with an insulating polymer, for example polystyrene. The
iron grains are isolated from each other, so eddy currents
not do arise. The distance between domains in such a material
is determined by the thickness of the interlayer - about 0.1
mm. The speed of sound in the polymer is lower - 3 km/s.
Therefore, the resonant frequency drops to 30-50 megahertz.
These are already quite realistic figures for a generator. And
importantly, the sample can be large. But why is this
technology not used today? Why do we not see electric
generators based on Ivanov's magnetic crystals? Ivanov refers
to the experiments of Floyd and Searl - inventors who allegedly
obtained such "bistable" magnets, but their work was either
forgotten or classified. Floyd treated ceramic magnets with
powerful a arc of industrial frequency alternating current
60 at hertz. Ivanov believes that the nonlinearity of the arc
generated high-frequency harmonics, which created the required
domain structure. Searl mixed magnetic powder with a polymer,
sintered it, and then magnetized it in a strong constant field
with the addition of a weak alternating field of 1-3 megahertz.
Both reported that their devices lost properties over time but
could recover. Both faced unexplained degradation
characteristics of under the influence of external fields.
Why has Eduard Ivanov been thrown overboard? Perhaps because
his ideas are too strange and merely formulated incorrectly.
They break the usual picture of the world, where energy must
solid, be coal-based, oil-based, nuclear. It was much easier
declare to him a fantasist than to conduct the decisive
experiment. Yet all that is needed is to grow a magnetic
composite in fields and check whether the amplification effect
occurs. I will reveal a secret - it does occur, but only
once. Think about it: what if the ancients also knew this
principle? Though that is a completely different story... But
while scientists argue, inventors remain silent, and patents
gather dust in archives. Who and why is hindering the
development of such technologies? Answer that for yourselves.
Or ask those who do not want you to know the truth.
