Now we're on the same track. As I said before, this sounds just like the uproar about the "Keelynet Firefly". There was no FE-source in that device. It just acted to uncouple the input drive pulse from the output pulsed load. As a result, when you added a load, THE INPUT ENERGY DIDN'T INCREASE! It's FE, it's FE! Not. Instead, with no load connected, the input energy would go into waste heat. But with a load connected, the input energy drives the load instead of being wasted. But unfortunately, output energy was still being supplied by the power supply, so it could *never* be higher than input. There was no mysterious energy present. And if you tried to "close the loop" and make it self-acting, you'd always fail. With the origional MRA device and with Firefly, after all the yelling died down, our conclusions ended up being something like this: "Don't waste time with possibly self-deceiving measurements. Since your net output power is apparently so large, GO AND CLOSE THE LOOP. You haven't bothered to try closing the loop? Then you're just fooling yourself. Please shut up and stop bothering everyone." > So, the magnets warm up *less* when the motor is running than they do > when the motor is not running. But, the back EMF is identical in both > cases.

Yes, that's exactly the effect of an uncoupled input-output achieved through nonlinear switching. With the "firefly" device, a pulse was launched into a long piece of coax cable, then the input was switched into high impedance. If nothing else was done, then the pulse would bounce back and forth inside the coax until it died away. No doubt the cable heated very slightly. If instead a load was switched in, then the load absorbed the pulse. Either way, the input power supply watts were totally constant regardless of whether a load was present or not.
