In reply to Steven Krivit's message of Fri, 25 Aug 2006 16:19:20 -0700: Hi, [snip] >Full interview, (51 minutes, includes introduction) >http://newenergytimes.com/Audio/2006Steorn-McCarthyFull-Aug24.mp3 [snip] Having now listened to this, I found one extra interesting bit of information, namely that going around the circle in the opposite direction loses energy. This is an important clue. The implication is that the source of the excess energy can also be a sink. Such would probably not be the case if nuclear decay (in the magnets) were the energy source, but would however be true if e.g. either the van Allen belts, or the rotation of the Earth were the source (either of these could just as easily absorb energy as deliver it). Furthermore the fact that the process is asymmetric under rotation seems to imply that the other end of the "link" may also be rotational. IOW whether energy is gained or lost depends on whether one goes with or against the rotator on the "other end".
