The Underlying Mechanism of Electromagnetic Non-Contact Energy Conversion (Final Version)

To explain non-contact electromagnetic interaction and energy transfer, mainstream physics puts forward the virtual photon exchange model. This model only serves as an auxiliary tool for mathematical deduction. It cannot be observed or verified by experiments and does not represent objective physical reality. Based on the Photon-Origin Theory, this paper completely discards all hypothetical-particle assumptions and reconstructs the underlying mechanism of non-contact electromagnetic energy conversion using observable physical phenomena of generators as factual basis. This paper points out that electromagnetic force is an inherent non-contact property of charged particles, which can act across space without medium or hypothetical particles. All energy-conversion processes in generators are state transitions of photon-energy packets and strictly obey the law of energy conservation. Mechanical work is accomplished through contact and cannot cross the gap between the rotor and the coil. The non-contact resistance effect of magnetic fields intercepts the mechanical kinetic energy of the rotor. The Lorentz force acts as a non-contact electromagnetic transmission medium. Its component along the wire serves as a non-electrostatic force and transfers the effect of mechanical work from the rotor side across space to electrons inside the coil. Deduced within the framework of the Photon-Origin Theory of this paper, electrons acquiring energy rise to higher energy levels. Unstable high-energy electrons fall back to lower levels and release photon-energy packets to form electric energy. Photon-energy packets are transmitted via electron carriers and finally release light and heat energy at loads. This study corrects the thinking bias of mainstream physics which explains natural phenomena with fictitious models and provides a new underlying interpretation of electromagnetic energy conversion consistent with objective facts.
