Introduction:

For years research has been done with electromagnetic machines that have demonstrated free energy possibilities and some even claiming overunity performance. Research done by engineer John Bedini has shown in the devices he built they were be able to produced 3.5x greater energy output than the power used to run the machine. Below is a video on one of John's machines with him explaining how his radiant energy machine works.

The principles of John's design is simple. Create a powerful rotating magnetic field than can produce more radiant energy output than the energy required to spin the flywheel creating the magnetic field. A simple principle that John's machines seem to demonstrate showing overunity results. Thousands of other inventors have built replications of John's machine claiming similar overunity results as well. Just Google "Bedini Motor".

Example of a modified Bedini Motor Replication.

What drew my attention to this science was the possibility to achieve overunity using magnetic energy. I thought if John's machines can actually generate more output power than input power this way then in theory it could be possible to build a self-powering power generator that could run in perpetual motion just off the power of the magnet energy being converted into radiant energy that can not only power the machine itself but also generate a surplus of energy to power an external load continuously.

Myself personally I have studied John's research for almost 20 years now as well as research by other inventors. I have worked in electronics engineering field for almost 25 years and I have had an interest in free energy power ever since my house lost power in an ice storm back in 1998 that knocked out power to my house and the whole city for almost 6 weeks until the power grid was repaired. This was in the months of January and February where I lived near Montreal, Canada the coldest time of the year with temperatures outside below -20C at the time. Millions of people lost power for weeks during the coldest time of year. It felt like Armageddon hit and no one had power for weeks where I lived on the south shore the hardest area hit by the storm.

When you find yourself in a situation like that you find out that all your battery powered devices are only good for a few hours and can't be recharged after that and after 48 hours with no electric heating your house is too cold to live in.

Since that experience back in 98 I always wondered what I could invent to make sure I always have some power if that ever happens to me again. The only solution seemed to be solar or wind energy as a form of free renewable energy but in winter time in Canada solar energy isn't that ideal.

Perpetual Motion Power Generator (PMPG) - Design Concept

The basic idea behind this invention is a low power self-running perpetual motion power generator (PMPG)  that can produce continuous DC power just like a car's alternator but without ever losing power running on magnetic energy only and using an electronic circuit to spin the magnets without the need for an engine turning it's rotor shaft. There is no rotor shaft nor flywheel in this design. So long as the magnets in the machine retain their magnetic field strength, which they can do so for decades, and maintain their speed this generator will not being running out of energy any time soon if it can run at overunity off the power of powerful magnetic fields of neodymium or iron nitride magnets.

There are only two things you can do with this type of radiant energy power. You can convert this energy into electrical energy and use this energy to charge batteries, like John's machines do, or convert that energy into useful DC power which is what I want to do to self-power this machine. You can also use radiant energy to create heat energy through induction heating which I will mention later in this post.

Perpetual Motion

What has doomed all mechanical perpetual motion machines since the dawn of time has been air resistance and friction, In a mechanical system it will always lose kinetic energy no matter how efficient the design is if it has any friction or air resistance to contend with. The laws of thermodynamics will prevail always and there will always be loss in kinetic energy and unnecessary heat energy and sound energy generated.

If you connect a 12V motor to a 12V light bulb and spin the motor with a flywheel attached this motor for brief period of time it will produce free electrical energy until it runs out of kinetic energy. If we can figure out how to create a powerful rotating magnetic field without any friction or air resistance then these magnets will be able to spin on their own momentum at a nominal speed generating free electricity and never running out of power.

The idea behind this machine is to create a powerful rotating alternating magnetic field that will spin the magnets in a tube at high speeds without them encountering any friction. There will be ring magnets placed along the outer perimeter of the tube which will keep the magnets in the tube perfectly aligned and centered in the tube along with help of centrifugal force. These ring magnets have a doughnut shape (toroid) magnetic field which will guide the magnets in the tube and keep them concentric in the tube when spinning at high speed. This will create an air gap between the outer surface of the magnet and the inner surface of the tube when the magnets are spinning at high speed thus eliminating any friction in the system. The idea is to spin the magnets in the tube at high speed without them encountering any friction with minimal air resistance, This is how you can cheat the laws of thermodynamics by simply designing a machine that avoids these laws by having no friction in the system thus conserving energy and momentum.

The magnets are placed in the tube with their like poles facing each other so the magnets repel each other in the tube. When one magnet is moved all 8 magnets in the tube will move as if connected to a flywheel. This arrangement will create a magnetic flywheel, a rotating alternating magnetic field, which will induce an alternating current (AC) frequency into the power/feedback coils which will be the resonant frequency of the power coils producing the maximum amount of radiant energy output at nominal speed. I am hoping by also having the magnets pass through the center of the coils this help to induce a more uniform sine wave as oppose the sharp voltage spikes like John's machines produce as the magnets only pass by one side of coil in his machines all in same pole direction to generate high voltage DC pulses to the batteries.

It is this radiant energy that this machine will capture and convert to DC power and hopefully generate more output DC power off of the magnets than the DC power running the machine. If such an overunity result can be achieved this way then this design will work,

It should also be noted that this radiant energy can also be converted into heat energy through a method known as induction heating. Instead of using power coils to generate electricity as in this machine you could use metal rings wrapped around the inner ring tube that will heat up as electrons vibrate in the metal rings as a result of the alternating magnetic field the generator will produce. This would be a free energy heater. a perpetual motion heat generator (PMHG), that could heat homes completely free. This is another idea I will want to explore with this invention but for now I will try for continuous free electrical energy then go for continuous free heat energy. Two great goals for this invention.

Completed preliminary build (minus 4 power coils for now).

The LED backlight will allow me to monitor and observe how the magnets in tube are spinning.

Bi-Polar Pulse Circuit.

The key to making this machine to run in perpetual motion will be to get this bi-polar pulse circuit (see below)  to run off the energy being produced by the feedback coils as the machine is running at nominal speed. The circuit works by a magnet inducing a current into the trigger coil (L1) which will send a pulse signal to the circuit. The signal will either be negative or positive pulse signal depending on the orientation of the magnet. If it is a positive pulse it will switch on Q2 turning power on Q1 providing current to drive coil (L2) which magnetic field will repel the magnet in trigger coil. The process repeats itself with next magnet but a negative pulse will switch on Q3 and Q4 creating a magnetic field in the drive coil L2 in the opposite direction to repel that magnet.

Bi-Polar Pulse Circuit.

While one half the circuit pulses the drive coil the other half will charge up during every half cycle. The idea will be to convert the radiant energy off the feedback coils into useful DC power that can keep the SuperCaps (C1-C4) charged up while the machine is running at nominal speed. The conservation of kinetic energy will be very important in making the pulse circuit draw the least amount of power when the magnets are spinning at nominal speed. The pulse circuit will only have to work intermittently to keep those magnets spinning at nominal speed. The circuit is initially powered off the stored electrical energy in 4 SuperCaps that will store enough energy to get the generator up to speed and then they will be charged up off the power generated by the feedback coils. No batteries required!

This machine will be able to run virtually silent with no wear and tear on the machine or the magnetics because there will be no friction in the system as they are spinning in the tube at high speed. The generator will make no vibration or sound and have no unnecessary heat loss, The only other moving part in this system is the cooling fan which will make some noise.

The nominal speed of this machine in rpms will be 15x the resonant frequency (Hz) of the power/feedback coils in order to generate the maximum amount of radiant energy out of the coils. This generator will have to be tuned to that speed and frequency using R3 variable potentiometer which will control timing pulse of circuit.

Power Output Circuit

If the pulse circuit can keep the magnets rotating at a nominal speed in the tube using minimal DC power the 6 power coils in this circuit will generate radiant energy which gets fed back into the circuit board using the lowest impedance path possible to reduce any loss in power, This radiant energy gets converted through bridge rectifiers into DC current which charges the output capacitors and provides a filtered but unregulated 12 VDC output at 20A max. The current output is limited to the current carrying capacities of the power and ground planes in circuit board. The cooling fan and LED will be powered by this output power and will keep a minimal constant load on the generator as well as keep the transistors cool and indicate power on. Keeping a constant minimal load on output will prevent sparking, electric shock, and overvoltage charging problems which could damage capacitors. It is this free output power that will also power an external load upto 240W is my hope.

Power Output Circuit.

Top Copper L1 (1 oz copper weight)

PMPG Power Plane L2 (2 oz copper weight)

PMPG Ground Plane L3 (2 oz copper weight)

Bottom Copper L4 (1 oz copper weight)

Note: Both internal power planes have a 2 oz. copper weight reducing impedance and power loss and increasing current capacity of the board. The outer layers are 1 oz. copper weight only and are used to connect the bi-polar pulse circuit.

When the generator is running at nominal speed a voltage potential of 12 VDC will develop between the power plane and the ground plane in this printed circuit board. The circuit board will act like a 12 VDC battery that can deliver 20 A of current at 240W continuously.

These two circuits (pulse circuit/power circuit) operate completely independent from each other and are not connected electrically on the circuit board. The only interaction between these two circuits will be through the magnetic field forces of the power coils as power is drawn from them their magnetic field force will increase which will affect the speed of the magnetics in tube which will cause the pulse circuit to work harder, draw more power, to keep magnets spinning at nominal speed.

Advantages and Benefits 

If overunity can be achieved through magnetic energy this way such a PMPG device would literally change the world. This would be the most cost effective way to generate continuous power electricity with these generators and because they are DC output they can be hooked up in series or parallel (just like batteries) to generate more continuous power. These DC generators will be able to be connected in parallel upto 4 generators using 1/2 dia copper spacers which will be able to handle upto 80A of current providing 960 W of continuous power at 12VDC.Various models can be made for 24 VDC and 48 VDC by a simple change in the circuit board design or connecting the generators in parallel or series.

4 Stack PMPG

A 960W PMPG would produce 23.8Kwh/day of free energy enough energy to power a small home. For larger homes a 1920W or 2880 W models generating 48.08 Kwh/day or 69.12 Kwh/day would be more suitable.

Once you understand how this generator will work then you just have to remember this formula;

Energy (Kwh) = Power (Kw) x Time (h)

It's not so much the amount of power that's important here is the amount energy the generator can produce over time. The longer these perpetual motion generators run the more free energy they will produce over time and there energy output will be constant. A 240 W model would produce a maximum .24Kwh/hr of free energy every hour or 5.76 Kwh/ day. Once this can be achieved then the rest is history. All we have to do is replicate, mass produce, and improve this invention.

If the computer is the brains of a machine then the PMPG will be it's heart. Imagine machines that run on free energy and never lose power. Imagine machines, robots, that can operate like humans on their own self-generated energy. What this invention could make possible is;

-Self-charging electric cars
-Self-powering appliances and robots
-Home power generators off grid power.
-Emergency portable continuous power
-Drones that can fly non-stop around the world
-Energy saving device

Just a few I can think off the top of my head but basically the applications for such a power device are endless. Anyone who uses a electricity and pays an electric bill or would want emergency power in their home will want this invention in their home so they can kiss their electric bill good-bye.

There are still certain unknowns about this machine design that can only be determined through experimentation such as, power of magnets magnetic field and size, radiant energy output power, coil design, repelling distance of magnets etc. These unknowns would have to be determined as part of development and design of machine.

Conclusions

I believe that with the right engineering design and powerful magnets this generator design concept  could work in perpetual motion and generate continuous power but how much will have to be determined.

I have put this design concept out to the public to hopefully have others look at this idea and help me build one and make a functioning prototype. If such a machine can work we change the world. Within 20 years PMPGs will be powering everything. Why would anyone want to pay for electricity again? This is one invention that's worth pursuing in my opinion because of how it could benefit mankind if we can achieve overunity this way with magnetic energy.

If overunity can be achieved through magnetic energy we wouldn't need large power generating stations anymore we would just need hundreds of millions of PMPG generators powering our homes, cars, and businesses. It would be the most cost effective way to produce clean renewable free electrical energy and would start a free energy revolution.

If every home and business was powered by PMPG power generators there would be no need for a power grid and we could recycle all that copper wire and metal that went into building that power grid. A city with no power lines powered off magnetic energy.

Not only would we have free electricity this way but we would have a much more reliable and stable power in our homes and businesses, unaffected by lighting storms, power surges, or transformer and equipment failure due to bad weather.

Never again will we have to pay for the electricity we use nor will we be without electricity because of bad weather. This would mean free energy for all, anywhere, anytime. Such an invention would put all the energy companies out of business in 2 decades.

Nikola Tesla's dream come true.
