Electomagnetism question

[Golden Mean]

Greetings All.

I'm wondering about electromagnetic coils. If I make an electromagnetic coil by winding 30 meters or 18 gauge magnet wire around a common bolt and then hook that up to a battery I get a very nice magnetic field that I can use to push a wheel around.

The questions I have are:

What is actually happening when I hook up the wires?

Are the electrons moving through the coil as in the "plumbing" analogy?
And if so, why can't I catch the electrons at the other end and reuse them?

Why do we loose those electrons? In the magnetic field? Where is the energy loss?

How can we recapture them or minimize losses?

Thank you for your consideration.

From what I currently understand, the losses is not because electron being converted to magnetic, but the losses happen because electron must pass trough the resistance in conductor which result in heat. To avoid losses we should try to power the coil in a way that do not create resistance and thus do not generate heat.

Some of the method mentioned are by using spesific pulse, other by spesific geometry, other by spesific placement, other by utilizing special core, other by utilizing special wire, other by utilizing special electricity, other by utilizing the heat.

Other also has opinion that by utilizing special method, even when heat still generated, other energy could be obtained from environment. The most common one is potential from bellow the earth surface and above them.

To get something to move something, there must be a potential different. A plus and a minus. Some believe the possibility of creating a minus in visible world can attract energies from plus in invisible world.

golden mean,
Your asking some good questions, but the answer you are looking for is a big one. You are going to have to do your homework if you really want to know, but I can give you some good places to look. Do some googleing, here is your topics:
john bedini sg
tesla radiant energy
electrical resonance

These are large topics and branch into various other topics and it might take a long time. But if you really want to know, do the work, study study study. If you havnt already, build a bedini sg, thats a perfect place to start. That will teach you pretty quickly the basics of what you are asking about.

Gold Mean, Sucahyo, and Cody both have given you some pretty straight answers. First, electrons don't move inside the wire such as pipes, but on the outside of the wire.Winding wire onto a bolt increases the surface area for the electrons to move on. Surface area is what your main objective should be in terms of coil building. There have been many attempts to recapture the electrons after using them to do work. Some have succeeded in recapturing some like in motors with BEMF. I wish you luck with your endeavor, whatever your aim is. Stealth
