Here's your extra credit question.....ready ok

1. Do magnets have any stored energy ?

2. Once an object is moving, does it have any stored energy?

Bonus Round.

Can you combine more than one source of energy together and then have a greater amount?
Answer 1. No. A magnet is simply a material where the atomic charge is polarized. i.e. all the positive "facing" one end, negative "facing" the other. I think you are referring to magnetic FIELD.

Answer 2. Yep, kinetic. Now how do you suppose it got there and how do you propose to retrieve it.

Bonus Round: Ah ha, your reasoning (poor as it is) becomes clear. You simply make the rotating device out of a magnet. Now you have twice the stored energy (200%). You use 100% to keep your magnet rotating and you have 100% left for use. Yet you only say 80% more power. You trying to rip me off?
