Do you also disagree on how I describe the demonstration setup as being
ridiculous, and not worth of drawing any positive conclusions from in
the way Stirling Allen does?
Unless I have been missing a lot, this whole magnet motor thing does not
have the scientific support or endorsements that LENR has, so I find it
to be in a completely different league.

How gullible Allen can be: Allen says in his report that
under this load of 4kW the 2 pcs 12V/102Ah batteries
should be fully drained after 35 minutes. That's a good
calculation. Already in the next paragraph however, he
has no problem making clear that the number of batteries
is actually 4, but two of them (the 'second bank') are
used "to harvest back-EMF from the "wheel of nature".
Ermm.. okay... Allen.. listen.. that doesn't mean they
are not full batteries capable of supplying another 2.4 kWh.
And
I feel we [c]an safely ignore this FFG device, just like all
other magnet motors, as Frank is suggesting.
Really?
Let me clarify what I mean by that.
I'm not an electrical engineer. 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:

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.
