HYPERPHYSICS
HOW NEWTONIAN MECHANICS
IS INCORRECTLY BEING APPLIED
TO EXPLAIN THE LAWS OF
ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM
“Nothing is too wonderful to be true” ~ Michael Faraday
Preamble:
This document will use Georgia State University’s Hyperphysics
to explain how Newtonian Mechanics was incorrectly applied
in a mistaken attempt to understand and explain the Laws of
Electricity and Magnetism for the past 200 years or so.
In 1687 Isaac Newton proposes Newton’s Three Universal Laws of Motion and they set the foundation
for classical mechanics. In 1831 Michael Faraday proposes Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic
Induction. In 1833 Heinrich Lenz proposes Lenz’s Law to incorrectly explain how electric generators,
motors and transformers (and all electromagnetic circuits) conform to Newton’s Third Law.
The primary error made in the 1800’s by early scientists was the creation of a persistent myth and a
non holistic application of all the relevant laws of physics that assumed that electricity generation and
electric current flow in a wire was analogous to mechanical pumping action and current flow of water
in a pipe. This faulty albeit persistent myth is currently held to be true even today and is still being
used in the inside the box thinking and education of electricity and magnetism.
BECAUSE THE TRUTH IS THE EXACT OPPOSITE IS TRUE...
The 1st understandably albeit glaringly obvious omission made by early scientists
of the time was in equating electricity to mechanics and when water current flows
down a pipe it does not give rise to the creation of a magnetic field around the
pipe and inside the pump as is the case with electric current flow in a wire.
Nor does this magnetic field do work inside the mechanical pump by
creating a torque (counter-electromotive-torque) as is the case with
electric generation and electric current flow in a wire.
The 2nd glaringly obvious fault pertains to how resistance in the pipe or wire /
electric - water analogy has a mechanically related impact on the input energy
required create the current flow in both cases equally.
The mechanical water analogy (on the following pages) shows correctly that as the
resistance in the pipe increases, current flow decreases and increased input energy is
required to keep the pump pumping until water current flow ceases with infinite pipe
resistance and mechanical pumping requires maximum energy. And it incorrectly
implies that this also holds true in the electrical current flow scenario in a wire when
wire or load resistance increases and current flow decreases...
In an electrical system as wire resistance increases and electrical current flow decreases the mechanical input energy required to be supplied by the prime mover to the generator also decreases and when the wire or load resistance is infinite the minimum amount of input mechanical energy is required. When the wire or load resistance is zero and maximum current flows in the wire the maximum amount of mechanical input power is required to be supplied to the generator or the kinetic energy of the generator will be reduced according to the Work Energy Principle. On the surface this would seem to conform completely to Newton’s Third Law and it is easy to see why early scientist readily accepted this... the problem is;
THIS THEORY FAILS TO CONFORM TO NEWTON’S FIRST LAW AND NEWTONS THIRD LAW
Because the magnetic field around the current bearing wire and the forces they generate inside the generator are not externally applied resistive forces but rather are internally created forces and these forces do work changing the kinetic energy of both the generator and the prime mover turning the generator. These internally created electromagnetic forces don’t even conform to Newton’s Third Law unless it is applied very loosely and incorrectly because of a generator coil inductor Time Constant which prohibits simultaneous exertion of equal and opposite forces in the same time domain.
An illustration of Newton's third law in which two skaters push against
each other. The first skater on the left exerts a normal force N12 on the
second skater directed towards the right, and the second skater exerts
a normal force N21 on the first skater directed towards the left.
The magnitude of both forces are simultaneous and equal, but they
have opposite directions, as dictated by Newton's third law.
The third law states that all forces exist in pairs: if one object A exerts a force FA on a second object B, then B simultaneously exerts a force FB on A, and the two forces are equal and opposite: FA = −FB. The third law means that all forces are interactions between different bodies,
and thus that there is no such thing as a unidirectional force or a force that acts on only one body. This law is sometimes referred to as the action-reaction law, with FA called the "action" and FB the "reaction". The action and the reaction are simultaneous, and it does not matter which is called the action and which is called reaction; both forces are part of a single interaction, and neither force exists without the other – except where coil Time Constants are correctly taken into consideration because the Lenz’s Law reaction force is always delayed by 5 time constants and is never simultaneous or instantaneous.
Time Constant LR Reaction Rise Time in an Inductor Newton’s Third Law insists and only applies IF the externally applied action reaction paradigm occur simultaneously at time T = 0 however when we consider the LR time constant of a generator coil we can see that there is a 5 time constants delay in the reaction which occurs only fully at T = 5 and not at t = 0. Therefore generator coil performance has never conformed to Newton’s Third Law.
Hyperphysics Water Circuit Current Flow to Electrical Current Flow Analogy For this diagram to be even remotely accurate the pump would have to be replaced with a water tower or even better yet, replace the battery with an electric generator and prime mover...
The diagrams below clearly show how the electric circuit / water analogy fails to “hold
any water” and how neither Newton’s First nor Newton’s Third Laws apply because the
action reaction paradigm is reversed and the external force has no bearing in the
electrical system.
The only variable that has any relevant significance with regards to the electrical system
is the magnetic field that is created internally inside the electric generator.
Correct comparison between a water circuit and electrical circuit
The action – external reaction paradigm that exists in the mechanical system does not
exist in the electrical system where an action – internally created self induced 5 time
constants delayed reaction exists.
The only way for an electric generator to ever be able to conform to Newton’s Third Law
would be if the equal and opposite simultaneously occurring action – reaction paradigm
could somehow circumvent the generator coil’s inductive time constant which is dictated
by the DC resistance of the coil and the varying resistance of the load.
Since the generator coil’s time constant is never zero and is always delayed we can
conclude that Newton’s Third Law has never applied in electric circuits.
And since the delayed reaction is induced internally and not externally from the
environment we can conclude that Newton’s First Law has never applied in electric
circuits.
“Time delays violate Newton's Third Law [and the Law of Conservation of
Energy] because even an infinitesimal time without the second force
violates the idea of force-pairs and hence of Newton's Third Law."

THE ELECTRIC GENERATOR FREE WORK-ENERGY MYTH PRINCIPLE
Imagine a 500,000 Watt electric generator idling by a prime mover at 3000 RPM on no-
load. Now imagine your job is to decelerate that system down to 1500 RPM without
using any energy to do so...
This is an impossible task when we consider the Work-Energy Principle which states
that, “changing the kinetic energy of any system by any amount in any direction is equal
to the net work done on the object.” And work (torque) requires energy.
Now imagine the same 500,000 Watt generator is placed on load and delivers 250,000
Watts of electricity to the loads and the system speed drops to 1500 RPM while doing so.
The myth currently being purveyed by the scientific comunity is that this generator is
converting available driveshaft mechanical input energy into electrical output energy and
that’s it.
The system decelerates and the kinetic energy of the system drops but no work is being
performed in order to do so and the system is able to somehow violate the Work-Energy
Principle. This miricle of science currently applies exclusively to every single electric
generator on the planet right now where only free torque can exist without energy in
electric generators.
And somehow Newton’s Third Law still applies because the generator has to “push”
electrons down the wire against the wire’s resistance like water in a pipe – which we
already know is a totally false anaology.
So let’s be honest here, when an electric generator converts mechanical energy to
electrical energy, another form of energy MUST BE PRESENT somewhere in the system
to do the work in order for the kinetic energy of the system to change and drop.
This energy is created in the induced magnetic field which surrounds all the current
bearing wires in the generator coils and this magnetic field energy does the work that is
required to produce the torque required to decelerate the system and allows electric
generators to conform to the Work-Energy Principle.
This magnetic field energy allows electric generator
to produce a counter-electromotive-torque since
torque and work cannot be performed without energy
being present in some form or another.
Electric generators do not cornform to Newton’s
Laws of Motion and never have nor are they able to
produce torque without energy and they don’t have
to “push” current down a wire (like water down a
pipe) – this is provided by the induced voltage
(electromagnetic pressure) from the generator coil’s.
This myth has existed and persisted for so long
simply because the torque produced by an electric
generator is in the “wrong” direction – as if energy
had a “right” direction...
Now if, the absolute values of all the non-directional energies that are present in an
electric generator were correctly accounted for rather than half of them being ignored by
conventional scientists, i.e the electrical energy present inside the wire and mechanical
energy surrounding the wire, changing the kinetic energy of the system – we would have
a different energy perspective on this planet.
And scientists would be able to comprehend and accept the Regenerative Acceleration
Generator (ReGenX) Innovation which reverses this paradigm:

1687 NEWTON’S THREE UNIVERSAL LAWS OF MOTION: The Principia was published on 5
July 1687. In this work, Newton stated the three universal laws of motion. Together, these laws
describe the relationship between any object, the forces acting upon it and the resulting motion,
laying the foundation for classical mechanics.
First law: When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or
continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an
external force.[2][3]
Second law: The vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object
multiplied by the acceleration vector a of the object: F = ma.
Third law: When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously
exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
1831 FARADAY’S LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION: In 1831, the
English scientist Michael Faraday discovered that an electrical current could be induced in a
copper wire by a moving magnetic field. This led to two crucial inventions: the dynamo and the
electric motor. A dynamo generates an electrical current by the relative motion of coils of copper
wire and magnets and is the primary method employed today to generate electricity for
domestic and industrial use. The electric motor exploits the same principle: a current flowing in a
magnetic field produces movement.
1833 LENZ’S LAW 1833 Lenz's law /ˈlɛntsɨz lɔː/ is a common way of understanding
how electromagnetic circuits obey Newton's third law and the conservation of energy.[1] Lenz's
law is named after Heinrich Lenz, and it says:
An induced electromotive force (emf) always gives rise to a current whose magnetic field
opposes the original change in magnetic flux
