    Perpetual battery using magnets, springs,cylinder,wire to create power for LED lighting? Can it be done?
    A pipe with end caps. Inside the pipe is a cylindrical magnet that is slapped back and forth. Copper wire is wound around the shell of the pipe. As the magnet moves from one end of the pipe to the other, back and forth, the electrons are pushed along creating a DC current. A small usable amount for LED lighting. Now you say how does this magnet move with out slowing down. An opposing magnet is in the end caps repeiling the sliding magnet as it reaches the end of the cylinder. A spring slows it down storing the energy to push back but the magnet in the end cap gives it a kick back because of the repelling + or - fields., So this thing gets slapped back and forth in the pipe and each time it passes through the section of wound copper coils it pushes the electrons. So Will this work?

    It wont work. The magnet will assume an equilibrium position somewhere in between the end magnets, stopping the process. I think this was a rhetorical question, since you used the word "perpetual battery" in your question.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.

    Wouldn't the springs sitting before the end magnet offset the will to stabilize?

    No, they wont. The whole system comes to an equilibrium after some oscillations (depends on the initial external force applied to the oscillating magnet, the rigidity of the springs, the magnetic power of the end magnets, the magnetic power of the central oscillating magnet, the roughness of the internal surface of the pipe & the lateral surface of the oscillating magnet and the weight of the oscillating magnet).

    Dam your smart. But like those balls that hang and collide they last a long time. If it lasted hrs to power LED lighting for use when off the electrical grid it would meet it's need.
