Very good, Bob. Brian and I actually spent several hundred hours a few years
ago researching mag-amps – thinking that the old technology could be
applicable to this device. Kind of a “lost art”- mag-amps, but there is a
connection. Our conclusion… a definite “maybe”…* This levitation demonstration seems to be just spectacle and I cannot see how it would be related to energy production. It is possible that it is not related and coincidental, but there is also a way that it could be related. As stated earlier - I could not reproduce the gain in the device or else I would be more enthusiastic. If there is an anomaly, it probably relates to field lines in the large billet which move “on their own” or with less input stimulation than the secondary effects which they can induce in wires. The better known analogy to an interlocked balance of superparamagnetism and superferromagnetism is “negative resistance” which is actually only “negative differential resistance” and not useful for gain, since the differential zone is small. However, superparamagnetism is probably useful for gain, but that is not yet proved. I am convinced of this connection: if one can document a cooling effect in a transformer core which should be heating up (but instead is significantly below ambient during operation) then that physical property is strong indication of electrical gain. This was documented in the Manelas device. Jones
