Energy from an outside source, like falling water, or burning chemicals releasng heat, are used to move the magnet. The magnets motion by the wire causes the electrons to move, thus taking the energy from the magnet, and being put into the motion of the electrons.<br /><br />There is no energy creation...just transfers.<br /><br />If you're wondering where the energy in the water or coal came from...that came from the sun. Light is absorbed, heating the water, which evaporates, falls as rain high up on a mountain. As the water runs down towars the ocean, it goes through a dam, turning a turbine. Coal is highly compacted carbon molecules formerly in plants..which absorbed sunlight and stored energy in chemical bonds.<br /><br />Okay...so where does the energy in sunlight come from? It comes from fusion, where hydrogen atoms are turned into helium atoms, and a small amount of mass is converted into energy.<br /><br />All energy transfers...no energy creation.<br /><br /><br /><br />Now, if all your ideas were to discuss the possible role of free will...first, that doesn't belong in a thread on dark matter. But second, you should have said that. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p align="center"><font color="#c0c0c0"><br /></font></p><p align="center"><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">--------</font></em></font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">----</font></em></font><font color="#666699">SaiphMOD@gmail.com </font><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">-------------------</font></em></font></p><p><font color="#999999"><em><font size="1">"This is my Timey Wimey Detector.
