I cannot judge the veracity of these kinds of exotic claims. In my own experience, I have performed thousands of simulations on theoretical magnetic research using Finite Element Method Magnetics work. My own research focused on Permanent Magnet configurations. You can download the s/w at the following website: http://www.femm.info/wiki/Download Working with this kind of software can be fun and educational. In the end I concluded that I personally did not discover any kind of exotic asymmetries that could be exploited as "free energy". That does not mean that I believe it's therefore not possible... only that I personally didn't find any. Truth of the matter is that my own research into permanent magnet configurations bears no resemblance to what this South African company claims to have exploited. Therefore I'm not going to judge them simply based on what I have worked on. I gather this company claims to have found a way to reduce back-EMF so that an asymmetry in the electromagnetic forces can be exploited. This claim sounds very similar to what STEORN claimed to have achieved a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, I gather few seriously believe that STEORN has actually proved that they have defeated back-EMF. Meanwhile, it's hard to tell what STEORN is up to these days, other than the fact that they don't seem to be entirely dead yet. That fact alone continues to intrigue me. While I continue to harbor serious doubts as to whether any of these back-EMF claims will eventually turn out to be true, I still think it is presumptuous for anyone to make the kind of conclusions that Andre seems to be making here. Maybe Mr. Allen really is a gullible fool, as Andre Blum seems to be claiming, but then maybe he isn't. All I know is that I sure as hell am NOT going to just ignore him...not just yet. In my book it would be a stupid and ignorant move on my part not to see what happens next. The bottom line is that Mr. Allen is supposed to receive one of these devices in the near future. That obviously means Allan & his associates can begin performing all the necessary tests to either prove or disprove these extraordinary claims. For now, I'd prefer to wait for more definitive tests rather than to judge a book by its current cover. My two cents. Regards Steven Vincent Johnson www.OrionWorks.com www.zazzle.com/orionworks
