Challenging Faraday's Flux Law and the Lorentz Force
by Some Simple New Measurements on a Faraday Disk
Abstract
In the light of the presented measurements on a Faraday generator the well-known theoriesconcerning Unipolar Induction and the Faraday paradox seem to be problematic. On the other
hand, all results obtained here and all other processes described as paradox in connection with
the Faraday generator can be explained without contradiction on the basis of the theory of Wilhelm Weber.
