Well, I am going to follow Jim's lead and bow out here. I will leave though with some commentary about the conservation of matter and energy.
Teddy52food, not sure if I misunderstand your wording, or if you are mis-representing your statement. However, magnets do not produce energy in the classic sense. you cannot get more work out of a motor than the energy you put into it. That, I will debate with anyone. However, if your articulation was meant to imply that a permanent magnet motor is more efficient or has more torque than other types, then yes, I agree. The physics around the conservation of Mass and Energy apply. So, yes, the magnetism remains. It allows for an efficient motor. however, you are ADDING energy to the motor through the electric current......starters don't work on their own. The magnetism in a perm magnet starting motor allows it to work, only after you energize the windings, but it does NOT add net energy to the motor to perform work. remember, Newtonian mechanics: Work is measured in Joules. The unit for Joules is Newton Meters. Newtons: 1 N = 1 kg⋅m/s2 or for electricity, 1 Joule = 1 watt per second. ok, this is now going down a whole other path..........
I still say this was a good thread, albeit it took a left turn in Albuquerque............ as Bugs Bunny said. all good. no offense meant or taken to anyone.

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
