ONE MAN’S UNLIKELY QUEST TO POWER THE WORLD WITH MAGNETS
WSJ ^ | 16 may 2919 | DAN NEIL

...he has invented a magnetic generator, a flywheel system that extracts usable energy from the interplay of exotic magnets—also known as a free-energy device, a cousin to the fabled perpetual-motion machine... He will have also achieved something that has eluded great minds from Leonardo da Vinci to electrical pioneer Nikola Tesla. How is that even possible? “Tesla didn’t have rare-earth magnets and digital machine control,”...

If there’s more energy out than in, we throw away the textbooks and send [Mr. Danzik] half a dozen Nobel Prizes, because one isn’t enough.... , the R32 Earth Engine, hucks two 900-kilogram flywheels at speeds between 125 and 250 rpm, generating 240V or 480V at 100 amps. On the high side, that’s 48 kilowatts, about what a small backup diesel generator puts out. But unlike a diesel generator, the company says, the R32 produces no emissions, no noise (the unit comes in a vacuum-sealed, tamper-proof housing) and uses no fuel. ...If the Earth Engine is an illusion, it’s a spectacularly elaborate one with no clear way of paying off. IEC isn’t selling, or even leasing, the machines, to keep the secret guts secret. Instead, it will charge by the kilowatt-hour delivered in the field—and a pittance, too, 8 to 45 cents per kWh. Oil-field operations can easily pay the equivalent of $1 per kWh for diesel.

Talk out there has been Nicola Tesla figured out how to get free energy from the earth’s energy, if I remember correctly the magnetic field.

And that Tesla told Nixon who years ago told Trump, and that Trump’s uncle, possibly the one who attended MIT, was involved.

This MSM article (not necessarily trustworthy in itself) coming out now makes me wonder if the rumblings about some kind of revealing are true.

Tesla died while Nixon was in the Navy during the war.

"So, I bought shares in this company..."
"Yeah?"
"... that makes these magnetic things ..."
"Like refrigerator stickers?"
"No, they produce electricity."
"Oh, boy."
"Yeah, I'll make a fortune."
"What do you have to do to make it run?"
"Well, there's crank on the side."

or the batteries powering the "small battery-powered motors move the tower magnets’ orientation".

I suspect that the energy required to displace the magnets in the towers is slightly higher than the "energy" generated by the overall motor.

Once I found a girl who had magnetic attraction.
Then I found out she was bipolar.

Good name for a '70s tribute band that thinks they are good, but can't play a lick.

A friend in my 8th grade science class asked the teacher if he’d get extra credit if he invented a perpetual motion machine.

“The magnets IEC uses are also highly one-sided, or “anisotropic,” which means their field is stronger on one face than the other—say, 85% North and 15% South.”

We can be quite certain that the weaker side contains the same amount of overall magnetic flux as the stronger side, just dispersed over a wider area, leading to a lower “peak” on one side versus another.

There is, as yet, no “magnetic monopole” which is implied in describing a magnet that is “stronger on one side than the other”, but there are plenty of folks trying to find it.

I suspect they will be searching for some time to come.

This gentlemans perpetual motion machine will be placed on the same heap of junk as all of the previous ones.

I don’t know who had the name first, but Google already uses the name “Earth Engine”........

IEC’s largest investor, Mike Halverson, owns a company in North Las Vegas, Nev., that manufactures modular shooting ranges for off-grid locations, complete with power backup. An R32 test unit installed at his facility in January ran for 422 hours, IEC says, averaging 4.4 kW output, before it was brought back to the lab for analysis.

The ONLY way to make a gravity or magnetic perpetual motion machine would be to find a method of shielding gravity or magnetism....i.e a thin sheet of material that magnetism or gravity could not pass through.

No. There is no suspension of disbelief - that’s for plays. There is no “suspension of the laws of physics”, since the laws of physics are observations and conclusions about how things work, and there is no meaning to “suspending” them. And they’re not laws, as in man made laws. And you don’t “suspend” entropy.

So far, I’m giving the article a zero for clear thinking. But I’m reading on. No I’m not - the article stops right there.

Conclusion: there is no “more energy out than in.” Can’t happen, so it doesn’t happen. However, it’s possible that it steals energy from something outside of it. Sea wave generators do that. Windmills do it. It’s possible to steal energy using a temperature differential. The Earth’s magnetic field is in a constant flux. There is no reason why someone smart can’t figure out a way to steal some energy from that. The self-winding watch stole energy from arm motion.

Either it steals energy from something outside it, or it contains its inner source of power. We can’t know, because the unit is sealed.

No perpetual motion machines!
