The main idea of this acticle is the application of magnetic bearing technology for

vibration rotating machinery. This article shows the magnetic bearings being used to allow

quieter operations or movement of rotating machineries, while also minimizing the

penalties or consequences affected in terms of weight or space. They also actively control

magnetic field to be able to reduce friction during the levitation of the rotor of the machine.

So, with the utilization of magnetic bearings in an auxiliary turbine, the results of the testing

showed a reduction in vibration level of 25 decibels during the rotation. This proved to be

more effective than just using oil lubrication and thrusts bearings on the turbines. The paper

can be concluded with the magnetic bearing being more effective for reducing friction.

The goal of this source/article is to find a better way to reduce friction on different

rotating machineries. It is quite credible and objective since it measured their discoverie’s

effectiveness through extensive and thorough experimentations. This article provides great

information to my research in terms of its usage and effectiveness. It also provided relevant

and important information than can be used for the designing of the machine. With the

findings, we can effectively save costs and time during the making of our product, since the

article discovered a simple, yet very effective and eco-friendly way to reduce friction on

rotating machinery. We can use the article’s findings to manage the designing of the

machine, as well as finding the appropriate materials for it. This is why the finding fits so

much for our research topic.

The main idea of this article is about how a perterual motion machine generates

power. This article shows an alternative way to effectively obtain power or electricity

without the use of environments, or in this case, an independent power generator. The

PMM (Perpetual Motion Machine) is designed to generate power from magnetic force

without the use of other foreign variables. The aim of this paper is to eventually replace

widely used, non-renewable energy source (e.g. fossil fuels) into these PMM power

generators. They also aim to provide summaries and other opportunities in further larger

and upgrades for better utilization of the concept.

Its credibility is assured for it has underwent ample amount of experimentations and

in-depth analysis. This article provides significant information to be of use for our concept.

The findings gave our concept some insights on how we can and should manipulate the flow

or blueprint for the machine. Compared to other sources of our annotated bibliography, this

one tackles about how the machine should work, while other sources gave us understanding

for the best model or design for the machine. The information is reliable enough because

we can see actual effort and objectivity applied on this article’s study. This article is

definitely going to be useful for our research.

The main idea of this article is about the precise calculations on how the magnets will

move in the machine. This article shows formulas and equations necessary for the machine to

work. This article also provides background of other perpetual machine from the past,

example of this is the perpetuum mobile by a medieval physician Pierre de Maricourt. It is

also stated that iron is good for a magnet because it is classified as one of the strongly

ferromagnetic materials, which having a high susceptibility in magnetization. It is also shown

that the inclination of the machine matters in order for the potential and kinetic energy to act

in process.

The goal of this source is to inform about the perpetuum mobile if it really works. It is

credible because it uses different formulas and equations, and including the factors which

varies in different experimentations throughout their whole research. This article provides

information that will help us determine the necessary data needed for my machine. It also

includes series of challenging mathematical expressions that is essential for the machine to

work. With the findings, we can save a lot of time deciding and computing from the wrong

data, and can accurately assess the necessary numbers needed. We can use the article’s

findings as a background for our computations when the process of making the machine is

ongoing. That’s why, this research article’s results are very useful for my project.

The main idea of this research article is about the bearings with power electronic

control in order to perform high-speed rotation. This article shows the characteristics of an

active magnetic bearing (AMB) in every aspect of its usage. The AMBs are contactless-type

bearing, which uses magnetic force to support the rotor. With the recent upgrades of power

devices, high-switching-frequency power converters, high-bandwidth current control,

nonlinear control strategies, advanced digital controllers, and sensors, AMBs have become

promising for high-speed aerospace, industrial, and energy applications. It is also mentioned

about the design of the AMB in the research, with ample and brief explanation with a tutorial

in order to replicate the entire bearing.

The goal of this article is to inform about the characteristics of AMBs and their

propitious functions around their utility range. Its sources are credible because of the given

statement of the researchers in their project which carries important matters in this topic. This

article provides relevant information that can be used in our project. The findings of this

research gave us some insight about how should every component of the machine works and

to give suitable knowledge on how to build the bearing, being able to perform in this certain

concept. Compared to the other sources, this annotated bibliography constructs proficiency in

making the bearing component for the overall machine, whereas the others tackle about

precise calculations, blueprints, electrical power, etc. The information given on this research

is credible as it is verified in different schools and being cited in other research proposals and

projects. This article will definitely be helpful for our concept.

and Analysis of a Perpetual Motion Machine Using Neodymium Magnets as a Prime
Mover.” Journal of Southwest Jiaotong University 56 (2): 211–19.

The main idea of the topic is designing and analysing the perpetual motion machine using

neodymium magnets as a prime mover. This paper discussed about the higher demand of

fossil fuels as the population continues to grow. Further, generating an alternative source of

energy, which is said to be a good option to provide an affordable and eco friendly electricity

supply. The researchers used neodymium magnets as their magnetic field strength are

stronger compared to other magnets. Magnetic fields have been widely used for decades to

generate electrical energy. This research paper also mentioned John Bedini and his popular

design Bedini Simplified School Girl. This paper concluded that the system the author

designed with the use of permanent neodymium magnets can be a perpetual motion’s prime

mover.

The goal of this article is to analyse and determine if the neodymium magnet can serve as a

prime mover of a machine. This information’s are reliable as the researcher conducted an

experiment to arrive to his results and carries important information’s. This article provides

information’s that can be of help to our research such as, the usage of prime mover and its

connections to conducting an alternative energy. This article also helps us in a way that it

supports our idea that a magnet bearing may work to generate electricity. This tackles about

the ability of magnets to become a way to generate electricity while the other sources gave us

information about the models, designs, and its calculations. This research will probably help

us.
