From: Jim Thompson on 23 Jul 2010 18:52 Let's Take A Vote... While I write this up, hopefully sometime this weekend, let me ask for votes... How many think, as Larkin opines, "charge is not conserved" ?? How many think charge IS conserved ?? Just curious what I'm up against here. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | Spice is like a sports car...

Post what you've got and let the chips fall where they may, there's always Wikipedia which supports your position: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_charge#Conservation_of_electric_charge On the other hand, if Larkin's right and energy is conserved but charge isn't, then since charge is a measure of force, unbalanced lost charge might be able to be used for propulsion.

Charge is measured in coulombs. Force is measured in newtons. So how is charge "a measure of force"? John
