They could be way off, using it to fool themselves, or even choosing such a method to avoid simple obviuous tests. Instead, ignore the calcs and get an empirical estimate by running an exactly identical fan device with a DC motor, and measure the operating volts/amps. Or better, get rid of the fan, instead use their device to power a DC generator hooked to a resistor. But that would be simple unavoidable truth, not a flashy fan which performs *apparently* impressive work, while actually their watt claims may evaporate if investigated. Estimating magnet energy: if your magnet is composed of many long thin magnet rods, you can let each rod flip over into attractive mode while performing some work. When half the rods have flipped, and you have a random pack of strongly-attracting NSNS rods, that's a fairly close approximation to an unmagnetized material. Unmagnetized doesn't exactly mean random, instead it means that all the flux paths are circles confined within the metal. Also this: Unmagnetized: Two horse-shoe magnets held N-to-S to form a closed ring, with zero flux outside the metal. Magnetize: Force one of the horse-shoes to rotate 180deg to again form a ring, but where the N pole is now against the N-pole of the other, and the flux from both halves is extending out into surrounding space. And, the net work needed to rotate one horseshoe against repulsion? That's the energy needed for magnetizing. (( ( ( ( ((O)) ) ) ) ))) William J.

It is worth noting that Yildiz might not have expected his motor to fail. And as such did not think that the load was very important. A fan is a perfect load for being unobtrusive, imagine the doubt if he had it turn an electrical generator? And unlike a prony brake (plus you would not leave a friction brake going for 5.5 hours), it is a good public demonstration of energy. John

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
You propose an interesting concept Robin. Take a look at my post concerning the behavior of a pair of magnets of the same type and power. I draw some interesting conclusions about the energy storage and extraction in that exercise. I think the main interaction of the steel piece is to direct some of the magnetic flux into a lower reluctance path which apparently is a less energetic state for the system. Since less energy is the final result, a force will appear that works with the movement to release the excess energy. A capacitor behaves in a similar manner. There is a force existing between the two charged plates that if allowed to cause movement will result in less energy being stored in the electric field. The movement represents a conversion of electric field energy into mechanical energy. Of course this is only true when the leads of the capacitor are open circuited and no external energy is input. It is an interesting process to pile steel pellets onto a magnet until there is no external field. The final state of the conglomerate is of low energy. All the lines of force are effectively shorted out through the steel pellets and the field energy is minimized. I like to mentally allow each pellet to locate its final resting place (rip) slowly as I extract the mechanical energy during the process. If not, the pellets would speed up and collide with the magnet releasing most of the energy in the form of heat. You appear to be describing normal transformer operation. The internal domains of the steel align with the drive such that you get far more field than would occur within air. That is a reasonably efficient operation as long as eddy currents are not too strong and the process does not result in much loss to heating. At a slow rate such as I am referring to, the loss would be extremely small.

I recall almost having a finger removed when holding a piece of steel near a powerful rare earth magnet. The force attracting the metal was very large and worked against my muscle power. I do not know how many joules of energy were released by the magnet as it drew the steel near to itself, but it was significant. I assume this process could be repeated many times with additional pieces of steel until the field was hidden within the metal mass. I think that as the normally randomly oriented magnetic domains in the steel (not the magnet) enter the field of the magnet, they domains in the steel become oriented, and as a consequence release energy. IOW the energy isn't coming from the magnet, but from the steel. If the steel is removed from the magnet, then apart from the energy required to remove it, I would also expect the temperature of the steel to drop a little as thermal energy is used to randomize the magnetic domains in the steel again. (BTW this may be the mechanism involved in the motor, since magnets are moving around rapidly, and the magnetic field strength is constantly varying, it's possible that a magnetic heat pump is at work, that is extracting heat from the air flowing through the device.) Note that this would be another example of a system that violates Carnot because it converts energy from kinetic to potential, and then into kinetic again, but in the form of macroscopic motion rather than atomic motion (i.e. heat). If you take that amount of energy and multiply it by the number of magnets in the device, you obtain a fairly large amount of energy. I would certainly expect this amount of available energy to be capable of overcoming the losses due to friction in bearings for a very long time. The energy extracted by a fan would need to be handled as well. I am not suggesting that the Yildiz motor is a fraud, but I suspect that there may be another explanation for its performance that is more down to earth. :-) Then I suggest you look at the patent app., and figure out exactly how much magnet volume is available. Multiplying by the MGO of the magnetic material will give you a total energy figure. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
That is a good thought Harry. It would be true if gravity behaved the same way as magnetism. In the case of gravity additional matter that is allowed to become attached to the initial body behaves in exactly the same way as the original matter. The larger net body generates a larger gravity field. The incoming steel that is attracted to the magnet does not have any magnetism to bring to the table. Instead, it absorbs some of the original field. I guess one way to see a difference between these two forces is to observe what happens when a lot of heat is applied to each system. The gravity gets a tiny bit stronger due to the mass associated with the heat energy while the magnet looses its magnetism. The natural state of magnetic materials is to be demagnetized so that is what happens when it gets a chance. I think of it as I would a large collection of small bar magnets in a pile. There is a very strong tendency for each one to join with another that faces in the opposite direction where the north pole of one is attached to the south pole of the other and vice versa. This would result in the lowest energy configuration. Also, gravity does not have poles that can cancel each other with careful alignment. It is interesting to construct a larger magnet by placing the north pole of one against the south pole of the next in a single line. You would easily be able to make many others the same way as long as they are built in a one unit thick linear form. If you now try to make a more powerful magnet by placing two equal length ones in parallel, they will repel each other and attempt to flip over so that the north pole of one is against south pole of the other. Again, this is a lower energy configuration that the system will attempt to achieve. When the steel is allowed to contact our magnet, some of the magnetic flux is allowed to follow a shorter path through the added steel and the external field becomes weaker. Each additional piece of steel that we add absorbs more of the available flux until all of it contained within the net structure and no more escapes to attract additional steel masses. This represents the lowest energy state for the system.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
I was thinking about the energy that can be extracted by allowing many pieces of steel to slowly come into contact with a magnet which most likely would not demagnetize the original magnet. I think it is actually a way to redirect the external field. I had an interesting thought. Take two identical bar magnets and place them far apart. Each one emits a static field from their dipole source that occupies the region surrounding the magnet. Theoretically a person could measure the field at every point in space around one of these magnets and I assume that it would be a vector with a certain amount of energy proportional to the magnitude squared. Sum up the energy from all these points and you obtain a number related to the total stored. With two identical magnets, you have twice as much energy stored when compared to one as long as they are far apart. Now, you can slowly move them together into a parallel position touching each other. If you end up with the poles in opposition, a force will pull them together and do work against the device that restricts the movement. If instead, you place them with like poles together, there will be a large repulsion force that requires energy to be applied to obtain the final position. The combined pair of magnets offers interesting insight into the problem. A test of the net final field can be performed as with a single magnet. The vector nature of a magnetic field suggests that superposition should apply as the pair is slowly brought into close contact and that the net field would exhibit two different values depending upon the poles matching or not. If the poles are arranged north against north pole, then the field would be two times as strong as a single magnet as long as each magnet does not strongly modify the others operation. On the other hand, when the north pole of one is against the south pole of the other, the net field would tend to balance out for our test device. It is assumed that the energy stored within a field at a point in space is proportional to the square of the field intensity. So, when the magnets are in parallel north to north, there should be approximately 4 times as much energy as that contained with just one magnet instead of two times as much which would be the original sum for a far removed pair. In the other case, the net would tend toward zero energy storage since the fields would generate a net vector sum of zero in the ideal case. So, if we attach one of my favorite scales to one of the magnets and fix the other in space and then record the force between the two as they are slowly moved together we should be able to obtain a number that represents the energy either absorbed or released by the pair as they are brought together. It appears that the same amount of energy would be measured in both cases which is equal to the total for two magnets far removed. I would assume that it would be much easier to allow the magnets to pull together in the configuration where the poles are opposite since they would self align in that case. It seems logical to assume that the energy measured by this hypothetical procedure would be approximately the same as that obtained by slowly adding steel around an initial magnet since the end result would be zero external field which is what you obtain with the opposing pole configuration where the vectors cancel out. I recall the behavior of two strong rare earth magnets being moved together and it is not pretty. I could not control the position of one relative to the other as they became closer together no matter how hard I tried. At the time I was not interested in the amount of energy required to achieve that goal, but regardless of that number, I could not force the desired behavior so it was substantial. And, it was suicide to get some of your skin between two poles that were attracted to each other. Has anyone else attempted to measure the energy stored by the above technique?

A cubic centimeter would have 512 kj/m^3 /100 m^3 = .516 joules. This equates to .516 newton-meters for a magnet 1 cm cube. It appears that the force would be rather intense if most of this energy was concentrated within the closest centimeter from the magnet. Obviously Yildiz does not have anywhere near a cubic meter of magnet so the question becomes where does the energy come from to power the fan for that length of time? Has anyone actually measured the power being delivered by the fan? I understand your joke James, but this is a serious question. Before I or anyone else should be willing to accept that this system actually works as advertised every possible trick needs to be eliminated. You have done a service in proving that there is not sufficient magnetic energy storage to keep a fan of more than a very few watts running. Now we must prove that the actual fan takes more watts than we can deliver and that has not been done. Is there video evidence from the show that proves that the fan was actually driven for the 5.5 hours or is that just what was suggested? This is beginning to remind me of other systems where enough unknowns are thrown into the fray to hide the real facts. Why only a short operation period? That should raise red flags for everyone. A true free energy device would not have such a limitation. I remain skeptical of this type of device until more clear evidence is submitted.

In reply to David Roberson's message of Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:49:20 -0400 (EDT): Hi, [snip] I am having a difficult time judging the amount of energy stored in these magnets. I recall almost having a finger removed when holding a piece of steel near a powerful rare earth magnet. The force attracting the metal was very large and worked against my muscle power. I do not know how many joules of energy were released by the magnet as it drew the steel near to itself, but it was significant. I assume this process could be repeated many times with additional pieces of steel until the field was hidden within the metal mass. I think that as the normally randomly oriented magnetic domains in the steel (not the magnet) enter the field of the magnet, they domains in the steel become oriented, and as a consequence release energy. IOW the energy isn't coming from the magnet, but from the steel. If the steel is removed from the magnet, then apart from the energy required to remove it, I would also expect the temperature of the steel to drop a little as thermal energy is used to randomize the magnetic domains in the steel again. (BTW this may be the mechanism involved in the motor, since magnets are moving around rapidly, and the magnetic field strength is constantly varying, it's possible that a magnetic heat pump is at work, that is extracting heat from the air flowing through the device.) Note that this would be another example of a system that violates Carnot because it converts energy from kinetic to potential, and then into kinetic again, but in the form of macroscopic motion rather than atomic motion (i.e. heat). If you take that amount of energy and multiply it by the number of magnets in the device, you obtain a fairly large amount of energy. I would certainly expect this amount of available energy to be capable of overcoming the losses due to friction in bearings for a very long time. The energy extracted by a fan would need to be handled as well. I am not suggesting that the Yildiz motor is a fraud, but I suspect that there may be another explanation for its performance that is more down to earth. :-) Then I suggest you look at the patent app., and figure out exactly how much magnet volume is available. Multiplying by the MGO of the magnetic material will give you a total energy figure. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html

Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html Yes, it is a problem in non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The rate of particle emission should be commensurate with the rate of cooling according to CoE. Interestingly, if the rate of cooling is greater than what would be expected based on the rate of particle emission that would imply energy is being _destroyed_. On the other hand, if the rate of cooling is less than what would be expected based on the rate of particle emission that would mean energy is being _created_. I am glad you brought this up, because it shows that energy production or creation does not always have to be associated with a rise in temperature. harrry

In reply to David Roberson's message of Sun, 14 Apr 2013 01:10:28 -0400 (EDT): Hi, [snip] I am not familiar with a process that accelerates the decay of isotopes, but perhaps this is possible. Do you know of any method that can be employed to determine whether or not this can be done? NMR might be key to this. Paul Brown, and before him Alfred Hubbard claim to have had success in this. Since NMR relies upon interaction with a magnetic field, a magnetic motor (with rapidly varying field strengths) might regularly meet the required conditions to stimulate decay. (Regularly - i.e. when the local instantaneous field strength was exactly right.) Van Allen belt energy extraction would be interesting to analyze. What characteristic of this source would you be able to modify as you drain some of its energy? It appears as though you are suggesting that an electromagnetic process could be tapped. The Van Allen belts comprise charged particles from the Sun that are trapped in the Earth's magnetic field, in as much as they are make circular orbits around the field lines (one way to describe it). As kinetic energy is drained from the particles, the radius of the orbit decreases. The total power available is equal to the rate at which particles are trapped in the field, multiplied by the energy of the average particle. Since the particles came from the Solar wind, both the average energy per particle, and the particle density, are fairly well known. The only figures that require a bit of guess work (at least for me), are the overall size of the field, and the percentage that gets trapped. As for tapping the energy, what I see is a bunch of particles trapped in a magnetic field, and emitting cyclotron radiation. This would normally be a very slow process due to the low cyclotron frequency of the protons (which have most of the energy), however precisely because the frequency is very low, the wavelength is very long, and in some cases may well extend all the way to the Earth's surface. That may make resonant reception possible, with power only weakening as 1/r rather than 1/r^2 as would be the case with normal radio emissions. IOW because the separation distance can be less than one wavelength, it's a near field coupling process rather than a true emission process. I imagine this to be a form of air core transformer, with the particles as the primary coil, and the receiver on Earth as the secondary. Because the cyclotron frequency of the protons ranges from a few hundred rpm to multiple thousand rpm, it seems to be a natural match for a magnetic motor. Whether it would actually work or not, I have no idea. :) (But there have been a number of free energy claims that might actually have been tapping this source.)

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
If you are referring to my statement about the magnet and steel, I am not confusing them. The force being applied to the steel is attempting to make it come into contact with the magnet. Energy is being released by the magnet as it draws the metal closer since it is having to work against my resistance to that motion. It would be possible to measure the amount of energy by attaching a force measuring scale to the steel part and slowly allowing it to come into contact with the magnet. You would be able to integrate the force times distance curve and obtain the energy. Any technique that resulted in allowing the relative position of the magnet to the steel to be reduced could in principle release a portion of that energy. And, more pieces of steel could be introduced to the magnet in like fashion where each one resulted in more energy release. Eventually, the field would no longer exit the pile of metal and further energy could not be easily extracted. The total amount of energy available escapes my calculation. The fact that steel is being used in the extraction process might multiply the amount of energy that can be obtained as compared to that which is stored in the original field pattern. I am not confident in the later possibility and perhaps someone else might know the answer.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
I always find this subject interesting to discuss. One could consider every piece of iron in the universe to posses potential energy in relation to a powerful magnet. Any of these iron things could be brought closer to our magnet and it would find itself subject to a force that could impart energy onto it. If the metal item were not held back by some other means such as the scale that I have spoken of, then it would accelerate toward the magnet and gain kinetic energy until it collided and releases it in the form of heat or some other energy. This process can continue for a while until just the right amount of iron was attached to the magnet. This energy had to come from somewhere and I assume that it is from the original field. Now the question arises as to what would happen if the iron is now reversed and removed from the magnet. I assume that any energy that was extracted in the form of mechanical work would be returned by applying the same amount in reverse. The same should not be true for heat that escaped from the system as kinetic energy was converted into heat due to a collision unless we supply a mechanical input that replaces that heat energy. I guess that should be possible and if so, the magnet acts as a transformer that converts some of the mechanical energy into heat. The bottom line is that a permanent magnet contains energy due to the field surrounding and within it. This energy can be extracted with the proper technique leaving some minimum energy that is beyond our reach due to geometry. A second process can be used to regenerate the original energy field by returning what was borrowed. The important questions that we need answered are how much actual energy is stored in the original magnet and how much can we borrow? Who wants to tackle these questions?

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
Well one interesting thought is if we have a magnet, and there is nothing else magnetic, then no energy can be tapped from it, but it still cost the same to establish the field. Additionally it we let iron particle cover our magnet until there is no observable outside field (still there really, but cancelled), you could conclude that it has not expanded it's energy, but if you turned the magnet off (heating it, or it may have been an electromagnet) you will still get a strong jolt of energy (inductive) can the field collapses, and more than if the iron particles were not there! Interestingly if this were an electromagnet all along, each particle of iron that attached it's self would have taken a bite out of the current in the electromagnet (an EMF opposing the current). So if we have a magnet that is attracting some iron, this same thing must be taking place! For those of insufficient understanding of electricity, consider plugging in an unloaded transformer. The resistance of the wire is low, and it would act as a near short except the iron causes such a high impedance that any growth of the field causes an EMF that opposes the change in the field/current. The same EMF occurs with permanent magnets, so when the field is increasing the atoms involved in producing the magnetic field must find energy taken from them. So where does this energy come from? Since we can't endlessly raise a field, what occurs if we make the rise time (where energy is taken from the atoms) and the fall time (given back) very different, with non linear curves and significant differences in the rise and fall times, it might just be possible to break such a system away from unity. If so, what would occur? The iron atoms would become very excited with extra energy, or drained in the converse setup. Now it occurs to me that here are a ton of accounts of invisibility occurring with experiments and almost every one involves steel and changing magnetic fields (and I would come to that conclusion even without considering the Philadelphia experiment). So what if one way you get free energy, and the other way you get invisibility. Quite good I guess, since it would be a real pain to lose your Free Energy device :) F*%#, that's the 3rd one I've lost this week!

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
John, You are pointing out some interesting possibilities. I suspect that the internal field pattern of the magnetized material in your item 1 is adjusted by the placement of new metal around the magnet. It might actually increase the net flux locked within the total structure since there is less magnetic resistance with better paths available for that flux to flow. This must result in less energy required to establish the final field since we see that some is extracted by the placement of the iron piece. I suggest that the above analysis points out that the magnet might not become demagnetized to extract energy, but instead we find the flux redirected. I do believe as you say that energy must be released if in fact the magnet is demagnetized but that is slightly different. That is a good analogy of the magnets being a high tech spring. The spring constant is non linear in the case of magnets, but the principle is the similar. We need to figure out how much energy is stored within the high tech springs before we know whether or not it is sufficient to achieve what is observed. The fact that the motors seem to run out of gas tends to support a finite amount of energy to draw from. Why do you think that magnetic cooling breaks the CoE? I suspect that this is operating similar to my description of the method to extract energy from the magnetic field by allowing it to perform work on an external object. You would need to find a method of allowing heat energy to be added to the cooling magnetic material by the local matter needing to be cooled. Each time we extract the newly established energy, more must be supplied to replace what we absorb. This looks like a good subject to follow up on as a learning experience. I do not know enough about NMR to comment. I wish I did. I agree that there is plenty that is not understood about physics. Every generation thinks that they have all the answers, but the discoveries keep coming in and I expect physics should have its own Moore's law describing how fast it advances. I place my bets that it will take a very long time before everything is known and understood in science. If lucky, some of our alien friends might take time to explain some of the more important issues to us. That is assuming that they exist of course.

Eric, That is a good start at the procedure. Can you come up with some calculations to fill in the blanks? We need to have an idea of the total number of joules of energy contained within a powerful magnetic of known dimensions. Perhaps you could estimate one that would fit into the Yildiz motor along its axis. The length would be several inches but it is not clear how it is oriented.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
You have failed to tackle the real question. If we have say a permanent magnet, and a C core, as we pass the magnet into the C core, an inductive field is established. If the inductive field will also effect the atoms, and if the material is aligned, then the aligned atoms will have energy induced into and out of them. I think that the effectiveness will depend on the form, the larger the diameter the less voltage would be induced on the atomic scale. Anyway, the question is if you manage to induce enough of an EMF on an atom (the nucleous or the electron shell, or both depending on what is aligned), what would result? If that EMF assisted the movement of charges making a magnetic field, what would happen? If that EMF opposed the movement of charges making a magnetic field, what would happen? Opposition would occur as a piece of steel was being magnetized, a generator does this, is there a 'tax' on the iron in a generator? As the magnetic field collapses it regains energy. If we took only the current that occurs initially and left the iron to 'absorb' the energy from the demagnetization, what would occur?

The force being applied to the steel is attempting to make it come into contact with the magnet. Energy is being released by the magnet as it draws the metal closer since it is having to work against my resistance to that motion. It would be possible to measure the amount of energy by attaching a force measuring scale to the steel part and slowly allowing it to come into contact with the magnet. You would be able to integrate the force times distance curve and obtain the energy. Does the magnet do work (use energy) when you are holding the steel at a fixed distance from the magnet? When you let go of the steel and the steel accelerates towards the magnet, is the magnet doing work on the steel's inertia? Harry Any technique that resulted in allowing the relative position of the magnet to the steel to be reduced could in principle release a portion of that energy. And, more pieces of steel could be introduced to the magnet in like fashion where each one resulted in more energy release. Eventually, the field would no longer exit the pile of metal and further energy could not be easily extracted. The total amount of energy available escapes my calculation. The fact that steel is being used in the extraction process might multiply the amount of energy that can be obtained as compared to that which is stored in the original field pattern. I am not confident in the later possibility and perhaps someone else might know the answer.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
Dave, I am no expert on spin batteries, but I think that the battery material is driven to a stable state of high magnetic energy by subjecting its dipoles to a strong magnetic field. I believe that almost all of the energy at that point is in the magnetic field. I do not know how homogenous the best storage materials are, nor how structured their domains are. Conversion of the stored energy into electrical current is described in the presentation. I wish I could find more references. The theory of storage of energy in the e-m fields still seems pretty contentious. For example, google Feynman disk paradox - there are a number of different 'solutions' to how momentum in magnetic circuits is converted into mechanical momentum. Quite perplexing. -- Lou Pagnucco Dave Roberson wrote: Lou, Are you suggesting that there is a natural store of magnetic spin energy which can be tapped by one of these devices?

RE: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
Dave, The energy available from spin appears to be in the range of combustion, for instance; but even if it is less, spin is often convertible in a lossless way – as torque. You can find out more by searching for high-spin molecules, high spin nuclei, and “ferrimagnetism,” not to be confused with ferromagnetism. It is all about “ordering” and latent energy going from order to disorder. Ferrimagnetism can be made to be essentially very high in spin, but very low in heat. This is in conflict with CoE, as it is now worded. The conversion of torque to heat, at the extremes of force leverage - can be deceptive even in traditional CoE calculation – to point of meaningless. High torque engines, like the old steam locomotive - can propel a million pound freight train at 50 mph with less than a hundred horsepower, for instance. Does that make sense - as to the proportionality of converting torque to its thermodynamic equivalent ? And it gets far worse when a magmo is all torque and no heat. Some information on this subject is subject to NDA but you can see from Wiki, the expert on all things, that with ferrimagnetic materials, the moments of atoms (grains or excitons) can appear to be opposed (as in antiferromagnetism). But in ferrimagnetism, the moments can be engineered to be far from mutual neutralization or cancelation, since so-called “spontaneous magnetization” can shift field-lines with low stimulation. These field-lines are not really an abstraction – since they can provide real induction and spin energy. Ferrimagnetism is exhibited by many ferrites, including the classic: magnetite. There is a long history in the lore of “free energy” and myth in general - relating to magnetite.

The South African trip, Perendev, Mylow, Intelligentry, Green Power - you name it, Sterling's fallen for it. I've been reading his site for years and just when I think Sterling couldn't be fooled again, he is. Sterling raised ~$4000 for his supporters for this trip, with talk of extended videos and validations, and some 'investigative journalism' of the amazing Yildiz magnet motor that will usher in the new age of free energy. Instead all we get is weak excuses and useless videos, plus a motor that barely works powering a 30 watt fan for a few hours. This is the second time Sterling has done this recently, with his South African trip coming to mind as a similar boondoggle where he raises money then absolutely fails to deliver. It's not science or journalism - it's more akin to uncritical fandom for free energy. As this point, Sterling is an increasingly depressing example of the perils of magical thinking, which is unfortunately so common. His continual boosterism has crossed the line from an interest to a pathological obsession.

His BS filter is so broken that he doesn't appear to do any research at all on the schemes he promotes, nor does he follow up with previous schemes. A recent example is the Nigerian inventor Gabriel Ohiochioya Obadan and his Cogar 'reactor' posted last week. The first hit on Google for that name is a recent SEC document illustrating the inventors involvement in a $1m scam, but Sterling (a) didn't do the research and (b) removed comments pointing this out on his blog. Extremely troubling. An older example is the 'sponsorship' of PESwiki by Green Power/Michael Spitzauer several years ago, where Sterling was directly paid by one of these schemes. Although there is a vague warning now on the PESwiki page for Green Power, Sterling never mentioned that Spitzauer had a previous history of fraud and deception (e.g. a six year prison sentence in Austria in 1992 for fraud, and another $1m in fraud in Seattle as shown in this 1997 article http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=19970929slug=2563209) and Green Power Inc ended up bankrupt in 2011 (http://www.thenewstribune.com/2013/01/17/2438485/port-of-pasco-to-sell-parts-from.html). Spitzauer raised $20m for Green Power, much of which came from unsophisticated 'Mom and Pop' investors in rural Washington, and Sterling directly benefited from the proceeds. As for Yildiz and his 'motor', he's been working this story for 33 years allegedly. The trail of broken promises looks exactly like every other similar story on PESwiki, and will end the same way.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
At least Sterling is having fun! There have been so many failed attempts at infinite energy magnetic motors that it would be an incredible surprise to see one that actually works. I remain skeptical in this field but would love to find out that I am wrong. All I ask is for someone to show me a source of energy that is being depleted as work is being done by a motor and I will listen. If the source of energy is simple as by some form of recharging from the power mains, then perhaps a new battery exists that might be revolutionary. That would be great. If someone figures out how to take energy out of the environment by cooling the local air, maybe he is on to something although the present laws of thermodynamics might disagree with his technique. At least the source is virtually unlimited. All of the magmos that I have seen suffer from the need to recharge often if much power is delivered to a load since the energy stored within magnetic fields appears too limited to be of much practical use. This situation would be immediately modified if it is possible to extract the energy form the earth's field at a reasonable rate and I leave that door open a tiny bit so maybe one day someone will find a way in. I advise that you not hold your breath until that occurs.

I agree that a 5.5 hour run seems a bit longer than expected unless the magnets associated with the experiment contained enough energy to allow this. Do you know whether or not anyone measured the fields of these before and after the run was completed? I recall mention that one or more was out of place leading to the end of the experiment. Could it be possible that the magnets intentionally move as the energy is being extracted by a motor mechanism? Just asking.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
Alan, You mention that it takes more than technology to make a successful product introduction. That is very true. Has anyone figured out a theory as to where the energy comes from to drive the motor? Are the magnets depleted with time? I recall an earlier discussion about slowly taking the energy out of a magnet by introducing small pellets of iron into the original field. Work can be done on each one as it is allowed to enter the field and a process related to this might be capable of slowly exchanging magnetic field energy for mechanical work. Someone then linked to a toy accelerator that performed this function using steel balls and permanent magnets. The toy proved that this was possible in real life experimentation. A magician might be able to construct a magnet motor which uses a set of gears to slowly adjust the distance to the energy storage magnets as they are depleted. I am not saying that this is what is occurring in this case, but that it might be possible to work. It is apparent from the videos that the magnets surrounding the motor rotor are extremely powerful. I suspect that a great deal of energy is stored within the fields of the many units contained inside the motor.

The air flow is restricted by the small distance between the motor and the blades.

Just one other statement. Magnets in repulsion can be made to appear to be successful in a magmo. But the magnets are degraded in each cycle of the motor, much like striking the magnet with a hammer in each cycle. Eventually it fails. Magnetic motors working in attraction mode do not degrade the magnets; but, my experience is that the cycle is conservative.

If ZPE alone is responsible, then perhaps there can be work done with no demagnetization, but the simplest explanation for an energy anomaly in a magmo is that we are seeing “order-to-disorder” enthalpy of a non-thermodynamic type: spin going to a spin-sink, which exhibits a higher-value for of energy - torque.

Yes I agree with your summary, Terry - but it does not have to be either/or in terms of repulsion/attraction. Both is possible. Take a lot at his patent application. He is doing something different. It's hard to say what is different, unless you speak good German, but I hope you will take a closer look in the context of what you experienced at M. Patrick Kelly has a partial translation on his site. http://www.free-energy-info.co.uk/Chapter1.pdf -Original Message- From: Terry Blanton Just one other statement. Magnets in repulsion can be made to appear to be successful in a magmo. But the magnets are degraded in each cycle of the motor, much like striking the magnet with a hammer in each cycle. Eventually it fails. Magnetic motors working in attraction mode do not degrade the magnets; but, my experience is that the cycle is conservative.

Lou, This is very interesting, but being mostly related to electronics, it does not appear to be all that close to what Yildiz is doing … yet spintronics of a different sort could be involved somehow.

Jones, I believe that this places an approximate upper bound on how much energy can be stored in the magnetic field of a Kg of material without an externally supplied current, and that, if the output exceeds this bound, some other energy source is being tapped. The energy density given in the presentation for the spin battery is up to 10X that of Li-ion batteries. Perhaps, there is something I am overlooking.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
Jones, If it performed that well, then it would be interesting. That amount of power extracted over such a long time period would represent a large amount of energy. I tend to think of the energy stored in a magnet as being relatively small since you can take an unmagnetized piece of material and magnetize it with a modest amount of input energy. Since I have a hang up concerning COE, I assume that there is the same amount of energy available as is needed to achieve that state. I need to observe a source that is depleted as work is extracted. In cold fusion, the mass of the reacting elements is depleted. According to the old famous equation the energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared a relatively tiny amount of mass can supply a large amount of energy. The mass increase due to a magnetic field being generated is incredibly small and it can apparently be extracted as suggested by these types of motors. The main problem is that the magnet energy must be inputted prior to extraction. In this case you have a device that behaves more like a battery than one that frees vast reserves of untapped stored energy. It would be wonderful to see one of these motors deliver the performance that you suggest may be possible and I will change my mind quickly if that occurs.

Based on what he has told others, temperedby the reality of grossly overestimating the power output - this could be possible. It may not be ideal but itwould be new physics and it would probably have commercial value. From:David Roberson Jones, If all they are doing is draining energy from stored magnets thenthat will run out fairly soon. Most are expecting to see a device thatruns essentially forever.

A noted professor (Duarte) has been allowed to check for hidden batteries or motor - and says there is no trickery. Magnetic fields store energy, not a lot of energy compared to chemical, but it takes energy to align magnetic polarities and this amounts to stored spin-energy. I’m not sure that the energy density of a magnet can be compared to chemical energy from a battery in a meaningful way - yet it is still stored energy. If the magnetic field itself can used for fuel in the sense of energy extraction, and this demo indicates that it can – then when we recognize that it is notably NOT a heat engine, we can rationalize the apparent low energy density. If the operation is not covered by the laws of thermodynamics, then the work which was done could simply have been done in more efficient manner, to wit: magnetic spin going to a spin sink which is torque, avoiding heat as the intermediary. Most chemical reactions, as in a battery - operate as heat engines. Yildiz's motor produces almost no heat (only friction at the bearings). But the system could still be conservative in the context of another kind of input - “order” going to “disorder” in the magnetic alignment. This could mean that providing magnetic alignment is where stored energy enters the system and torque is where it leaves. Subjectively we assign a much greater value to torque than to heat. Energy per unit volume, or energy density has the same physical units as pressure, and the energy density of the magnetic field may be expressed as a physical pressure. This is relatively low thermally, even when magnets express an intrinsic static force which is high between each other, and mimics pressure. Given that the pressure of opposing fields in magnetism is large, that should be a clue that we are missing the important variable - spin. Enthalpy can derive from ordered systems going efficiently to disorder, as in demagnetization or from an input such as ZPE. In short, thermal energy density is the best known measure of the volumetric enthalpy of a system but it is not the only determinant of it. If ZPE alone is responsible, then perhaps there can be work done with no demagnetization, but the simplest explanation for an energy anomaly in a magmo is that we are seeing “order-to-disorder” enthalpy of a non-thermodynamic type: spin going to a spin-sink, which exhibits a higher-value for of energy - torque.

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
Lou, Are you suggesting that there is a natural store of magnetic spin energy which can be tapped by one of these devices? I am under the impression that they are extracting the overall magnetic energy due to internal alignment of the magnetic domains. In your concept, what does a material that has this energy depleted behave as? How would it differ from other chunks of the same type that are fresh? Is there any way to measure a before and after effect other than by measuring the change in external fields?

Re: [Vo]:Yildiz motor in Geneva -- ran 5.5 hours then broke down
Wonderful if true. You gotta love magic magnet motors. So beguiling! Reports like this come in every year or so. Nothing ever seems to come of them. The person demonstrating the motor never produces 10 of them to sell to other people, or does anything else. I once offered one of these people $10,000 for a copy. After a few days he politely declined. I do not want to believe these reports are true, because I can't stand the idea that the technology has been floating around for decades without any serious effort to confirm it or develop it. - Jed

David Roberson dlrober...@aol.com wrote: It will be a cold day somewhere nearby when one of these motors can be purchased. Ah ha! Perhaps you have explained it. It is not a violation of COE because the gadget is transferring heat from Hell to the device. A sort of heat pump working through quantum worm holes. If you will. Or, as you say the cold day is nearby because no one notices that the air temperature is falling and the base of the machine is covered with frost, like a propane bottle on a grill (only that's Boyle's law -- not magic heat transfer). - Jed
