Energy Conservation in Magnets

Most recent answer: 07/06/2016

Q:
With the magnetic field being described as photons, could it be possible to design a "new material" or combination of elements as in say a photo cell or solar cell that one could generate electricity from a stationary magnet. The idea is to generate electricity using the magnetic field without moving the magnet or the "new material".Thank youJonathan Winter
