The generator in the MPI patent application reflects a prototype that
functioned briefly in late 2004. More are under construction, with the goal
of a pre-production unit in the hands of a manufacturer by the end of this
year. That assumes sufficient working capital, which is still in short
supply.
MPI had the North American rights to the Takahashi patents. Unfortunately,
in the opinion of the President of his Company, he turned out to be a fraud.
We had one of the scooters in our lab and the motor had nothing unusual.
Performance of the scooter was, sadly, also not unusual.
Permanent magnets will normally operate without noticable loss for more than
a human lifetime. They only lose strength if abused, e.g. struck with a
hammer, or operated outside of the region of their operating curve due to
poor design. A typical car has numerous pm motors. We expect they will
operate in our generators just as reliably, for many decades.
Modules used for home power will be configured to feed the grid. just as pv
panels do.

Vortexians;
I've been thinking about MPI's FE machine patent. It would be marvelous if
it worked. However the first thing that comes to mind is Takashi's motor,
the one he mounted in the moped. The story was that he shipped it to a FE
machine conference in London. They picked it up at the airport, started it
by giving it a push, and then drove it down the motorway at a high rate of
speed. It's reported acceleration was awesome! What ever effect allowed it
to do this was quickly lost however. I subsequently saw the moped offered
for sale, at a price that even I could afford. It's clear to me that
reconditioning the motor must have posed significant problems.
Which brings me around to my questions. How difficult is it to recondition
the magnets? can reconditioning circuitry be build into the unit so that
one magnetic module can be reconditioned while the others continue to
produce energy? With that said, what percentage of the output power do you
estimate will be required for this process?
I would also suggest that the control circuitry be configured to that it
can be slaved, or paralleled to the utility. This would allow it to
conveniently feed power back onto the grid.
