1. A device for generating power, comprising:
a) a fluid comprising magnetic particles;
b) a source for magnetizing said fluid thereby inducing rotations in the magnetic particles for creating a magnetic flux;
c) a coil associated with said fluid;
d) said magnetizing source comprising an alternating and traveling magnetic field;
e) said magnetic fluid flowing through a generally non-magnetic, non-conducting line;
f) means for aligning magnetic dipoles of the particles in a generally common direction;
g) a reservoir for comprising said fluid; and
h) a pump for pumping said fluid from said reservoir into said line.
