Introduction

The energy industry constantly faces the challenge of finding new, sustainable, and efficient energy sources. One of the less studied natural resources is the Earth's magnetic field, particularly its vertical component, which is traditionally not regarded as an energy source.

This paper introduces the concept of a ferromagnetic mill, which can convert the force of magnetic interactions into mechanical energy.

Theoretical Foundation: Earth's Vertical Magnetic Field Component

Most people are familiar with the horizontal component of the Earth's magnetic field, which directs a compass needle. However, the vertical component is significantly more intense. According to geophysical studies, its strength increases toward the magnetic poles and decreases near the equator.

In the Northern Hemisphere, magnetic field lines are directed downward, entering the Earth's surface. The highest concentration of these lines occurs near the South Magnetic Pole, which, despite its name, is located in the Northern Hemisphere. As one moves toward the equator, the density of downward field lines decreases, weakening the vertical component.

Research by S.M. Kurashev (The Earth's Magnetic Field) indicates that the vertical component can exert a small but constant force on magnetic and ferromagnetic objects.

While this force is insufficient for levitation, it can be amplified and converted into rotational movement using mechanical levers, similar to Archimedes' lever.

Experimental Basis: Blyashev's Experiment

The idea of harnessing the Earth's vertical magnetic field component originated from an experiment conducted by V. Blyashev. His observations showed that magnetic shielding creates an unexplained force capable of altering an object's weight under specific conditions.

Initially, Blyashev hypothesized that the force resulted from the interaction of magnets with the Earth's magnetic field, but later discovered an error in his setup-his measuring equipment contained accidentally magnetized elements. Despite this flaw, his experiment inspired further studies on ferromagnetic lenses, which can concentrate the Earth's magnetic field lines.

Magnetic Shielding and Field Concentration

Ferromagnetic materials have a well-documented ability to attract and concentrate magnetic field lines. This principle is extensively detailed in the research of Lesnykh and Bobrov, which focuses on magnetic shielding. When ferromagnetic materials are placed in a magnetic field, they direct field lines through themselves, creating regions of enhanced induction, while simultaneously shielding external areas.

This property enables the creation of ferromagnetic lenses, which function similarly to optical lenses-focusing and directing magnetic forces. The proposed system utilizes such lenses to control the Earth's vertical magnetic field component, amplifying its effect on permanent magnets.

Design of the Ferromagnetic Mill

To convert magnetic interactions into mechanical energy, the system comprises:
' Permanent magnets in a horseshoe shape, positioned in the concentrated magnetic flow zone.

' Ferromagnetic lenses, enhancing interactions by focusing the vertical component of the field.

' A rotational mechanism, driven by magnetic forces.

This configuration produces a magnetic attraction-repulsion effect, where magnets either attract or repel, depending on their orientation relative to the Earth's downward field lines.

Mathematical Model and Efficiency Calculations

To evaluate the mechanism's feasibility, a mathematical model was developed.

1. Calculation of Magnetic Force

[ F_m = \frac{\chi B^2 A}{\mu_0} ]
Where:

-- ( \chi = 5000 ) - magnetic susceptibility of the ferromagnet

-- ( B = 45 \times 10^{-6} ) T - intensity of the Earth's vertical magnetic field

-- ( A = 0.02 ) m - area of the ferromagnetic lens

-- ( \mu_0 = 4\pi \times 10^{-7} ) H/m - permeability of vacuum

[ F_m \approx 0.16 \text{ N} ]

2. Calculation of Torque

[ M = F_m \cdot r ]

With lever length ( r = 6.13 ) m:
[ M = 0.16 \times 6.13 = 0.98 \text{ N"m} ]

3. Calculation of Rotational Resistance

[ M_{res} = \mu \cdot m_r \cdot g \cdot R ]

Where:

-- ( \mu = 0.02 ) - bearing friction coefficient

-- ( m_r = 5 ) kg - rotor mass

-- ( g = 9.81 ) m/s - acceleration due to gravity

-- ( R = 0.5 ) m - rotor radius

[ M_{res} = 0.49 \text{ N"m} ]

Since ( M = 0.98 ) N"m exceeds ( M_{res} = 0.49 ) N"m, the system will rotate.

Multiple mills can be installed on a single hollow shaft to amplify the output force.

Prospects and Limitations

Despite the promising calculations, successful implementation requires consideration of:

1 Aerodynamic losses - air resistance increases with higher rotational speeds.

2 Material wear - permanent magnets lose strength after 50-60 years.

3 Geographical optimization - effectiveness varies by location (e.g., stronger in Canada).

If further developed, this technology could become a novel source of renewable energy, particularly in regions with strong vertical magnetic anomalies.

Conclusion

The proposed ferromagnetic mill harnesses the Earth's vertical magnetic field component for mechanical energy generation. Calculations indicate that the system can continuously rotate and convert motion into electricity.
