I predict the evolution of power technology with the invention of the supermagnet motor in the very near future. See here for a present overview with just baryonic magnets imagined. A Few Magnet Motors (June 21, 2011):
[*Quote*]Although originally suggested by Nikola Tesla in 1905,
only a few permanent magnet motors-generators have been designed, that is, magnet motors where the power comes from the magnets, not an external, exaustable supply of electricity.
Engineers of Hitachi Magnetics Corp. of California have stated that a motor-generator run solely by magnets is feasible and logical but the politics of the matter make it impossible for them to pursue developing a magnet motor or any device that would compete with the energy cartels.[*End Quote*]
