It would make the product more believable if it borrows energy from existing external magnetic fields. The complexity of building a device that escapes all possible major nulls might be too difficult to cope with. I have a feeling that they restrict this somewhat to save device cost. Of course, I am assuming that the external field supplies the energy.
A constant valued steady external magnetic field should not be capable of supplying energy by itself other than during the initial application of that field. I suppose we are going to have to obtain one of these beasts to figure out exactly how it operates.

The energy gain due to permeability switching has to have a source. This may very well be external (electro) magnetic fields indeed. Smart design should be able to make it direction independent.

Also, can the system be positioned in any direction that results in a null or change to the energy level generated? Dave
