Diamagnetic materials are quite odd...

It's the future of energy storage. Gigantic flywheels spinning in a vacuum on magnetic bearings.

Places like Australia and North Africa could end up as the powerhouse of the world, with Solar Energy being available 24/7.

Magnets are great. Particularly if you also have small, glow-in-the-dark clown zombies and some super glue. And work somewhere with metal beams in the ceiling.
When in Rome, do as the Romans.

I have a top-secret design for a perpetual motion machine powered by magnets and gravity.
For sale to the highest bidder.
I'd build it myself, but I don't have a metalwork shop.
Let's start the bidding at £10,000

... or a blowjob if you're female.
... and attractive.

Of course, you won't be able to take any energy out of it - that would violate the laws of physics. But it'll make a great desktop ornament. Newton's Cradle eat your heart out! I'm thinking: mount it on a stand with "Anything is possible!" or something similarly inspirational written on it.
It'll sell millions!

Perhaps mm meant that, if combined, Australia and North Africa could be putting power into a world grid 24/7... :ask:

But certainly there is a huge opportunity for Oz to provide a lot of power via the sun. With our stretch of longitude, solar farms in the west, middle and east of the continent could potentially provide power to the national grid for 15 or 16 hours a day. Storage solutions such as flywheels (and there are other contenders) could stretch this to 24/7 availability of solar electricity.

Of course, with the neanderthal arseholes now in power, there would be zero government support or encouragement for such a move... :nono:
