Clean energy stories from around the world.
There are many kinds of water generators and most slow down the flow of the water. One company, Lucid Energy has inline generators that can be used to create electricity from water leaving water towers and other similar situations without any significant reduction in the water pressure!

About 17 years ago, Lawrence Kennedy introduced me to some video tapes of Stanley Meyer and Roger Billings who were working on water fuel technologies. Lawrence knew both of them because he used to tour on the same lecture circuits.
Some of the videos of Stan Meyer were never seen online for many years after that, but like most people, I was sucked into the whole story about the dielectric separation of water molecules, which means electrostically splitting water without conventional electrolysis.
It made perfect sense and I had suggested some small scale experiments using scaled up versions of John Bedini’s radiant oscillators that output high voltage spikes, which normally charge batteries. The tests were successful as far as proving the point, but have to be taken to another level to be practical. The following image is an example of the output of an oscillator that I built back in about 2000 before most people ever heard of self-oscillating versions of Bedini’s SG circuits. That scope shot is upside down because the high voltage spikes are actually negative.
It only takes a small search to find that most of the Stan Meyer research online is obsessed with his VIC (voltage intensifier circuits) and resonance in order to create abnormally high amounts of commonly-ducted water gas (HHO). The problem is, this has absolutely nothing to do with what Stan Meyer was originally doing. None of the high voltage water splitting methods were around until much later in his research and its an indisputable fact documented by his own patents and other paperwork.
The other problem is that when this fact is brought up to all the self-proclaimed Stan Meyer experts, they go ballistic, literally.
I believed in this too, but was always open to learning whatever I could that was contrary to my current beliefs – and being teachable is what allowed the right teachers and answers to appear at the right time.
Years ago in Energetic Forum, there were many discussions about Stan Meyer and water fuel in general as well as a handful of people claiming to have figured it all out. But these people who “figured it all out” have one thing in common – they all have a 100% success rate in failing to show anything significant.
This is not to say that someone can’t have something valuable to contribute, but when they go out of their way to slander, defame and threaten others just because something is proposed that is contrary to what they are extremely attached to, it gets a bit ugly. One of these people even threatened my life after I revealed his identify – that is Ed Mitchell.
Here is an example of a video that is claimed to be an amazing amount of HHO production with the VIC type circuits posted by someone that has posted countless misleading claims over the years about what Stan Meyer did.
You can fast forward to 1:10 and in a few seconds, you can hear the production is “very, very fast”. This is Ed Mitchell’s nonsense.
Now, here is a single tube test I did years ago producing more gas than all those tubes above combined using nothing more than a variac with full rectified AC to DC and the ground line has a coil of wire used for current restriction. The tubes are conditioned, which I’ll mention in a moment.
Forward to 0:30 seconds to see it kick on. That is only one of of multiple tubes connected.
As the video says, Meyer didn’t really claim to condition his tubes, but he did post that he was wanting to insulate them with Delrin and other methods to prevent current. In any case, I did find that I was able to get a lot of gas production from a little input but this isn’t even the main point to this post.
Many people tried this but it wasn’t until Ravi, a brilliant engineer who started to post his replications of my work that people took notice. Many people tried to rewrite history about who did what and you can see what Ravi has to say about it himself here:
This is posted simply to maintain the accuracy of the history and to show that Ravi did not learn it from Dave Lawton as is often claimed by others.
If you are interested in my tube conditioning process, you can search my videos on both my channels for the tube videos:

Now, in Energetic Forum, Michael J.N. and Tutanka were mentioning the importance of nitrogen and I was completely open to learning what they wanted to share. Michael had built a jet engine that runs on water about 25-30 years ago at this point during at time that Stan Meyer was traveling to the UK. He knew Stan Meyer and Stan admitted to him that his exhaust smelled like ammonia. I have personally met a good handful of people that personally worked and met with Meyer and they all concur that Meyer’s exhaust did indeed smell like ammonia and nitrogen was indeed important to the process of creating a synthetic gas on demand.
Here is my replication of the jet engine system and I didn’t even get to modifying any of the steam to turn it into syngas yet at the time, but you can see that I was able to bring the propane down to 0 psi on the gauge. The gauge is too big to see how much so it is still running on propane but just traces. I started out with 8 psi before the mods and again, I got that far without even modifying the water vapor, yet:
Meyer did mention that he used “non-combustible gas” to slow down the burn rate of the hydrogen gas in his process so that he can get it to burn more like gasoline. If you have experimented with hydrogen gas, you know it detonates and does not combust so you cannot get the real thermal energy out of it. The Meyer “experts” spreading disinformation online will tell you that nitrogen is not the non-combustible gas, especially Ed Mitchell – he expressed violent opposition to it as evidenced by all his posts in Energetic Forum including threatening my life as I mentioned.
I already knew about the non-combustible gas reference and it was a member named “Rock” who brought it to my attention that Nitrogen was actually spelled out in Meyer’s earlier work so it wasn’t speculation. You can see in Meyer’s earlier work he spelled out Nitrogen and later in his work, he removed the word Nitrogen and only referred to it as a “non-combustible gas”.
Many people applaud hydrogen cars for having water as an exhaust, but that is only showing you evidence that they destroyed almost all of the thermal energy they could have received from the hydrogen had they PREVENTED the formation of the water molecule. That is the key to the Stan Meyer technology.
Let’s look at what Meyer’s patent say:
At this link: http://www.google.com/patents/CA1235669A1 you can see it clearly states, “The flame 25 is sustained in that the NITROGEN gases 16 a xxx n REDUCES THE VELOCITY AND TEMPERATURE OF THE HYDROGEN GAS 14 a xxx n.”
When you dilute the water gas with nitrogen, the ignited hydrogen will bind to nitrogen and create NH3 (ammonia) and that prevents the formation of the water molecule. It also allows the hydrogen to burn slower so that it is more like a slower gasoline combustion instead of a fast hydrogen detonation. Where did Meyer get the idea about controlling the hydrogen burn rate? We’ll get to that later because it is very important – speculation, but when you see it, it may appear overly obvious.
Believe it or not, Ed Mitchell and other self-appointed experts boldly claim that Nitrogen has no part of the Meyer process.
http://www.energeticforum.com/83184-post1499.html
“But the point is the Gas Gun produced thermal explosive energy and did so without Nitrogen gas in the system” – Ed Mitchell
http://www.energeticforum.com/83309-post1506.html
“The gases that are called “ambient air gases” are gases that are dissolved in water at the time when the water is being broken down and are nothing more than trace gases and can be ignored.” – Ed Mitchell
Yes, Meyer did talk about dissolved trace gases and nitrogen. Meyer claimed water had 17% nitrogen, but it is much less. You will see in a bit that Meyer also states that for REALISTIC and PRACTICAL application of the principles that the ambient air is literally from the air because the real amount of usable nitrogen dissolved in the water is UN-REALISTIC & UN-PRACTICAL.
Some of those gases are dissolved in water in quantities much less than what Meyer claimed, but the point is that the ambient air with the NITROGEN used to dilute the water gas to slow its burn rate down was literally from the air. Not only can it not be ignored as the misinformation agents will have you believe, it is the KEY to Meyer’s creation of a synthetic water fuel.
Look at the top part of the image, the AMBIENT AIR coming into the system that has the NITROGEN literally comes from the ambient air, which is from the air intake and is common sense and obvious that it is not dissolved gases in water! While Ed Mitchell and others spreading disinformation tell you to ignore nitrogen altogether, it is the VERY key to Stan Meyer’s synthetics fuel on demand. Meyer even uses the term synthetic gas even though the self-appointed “experts” continue to deny this fact.

“if you care to read SM’s work that Nitrogen is not a player” – Ed Mitchell
http://www.energeticforum.com/83299-post194.html
“I just wanted everyone to see with there own eyes that Meyers systems didn’t have nitrogen in them.” – Ed Mitchell
Here is a YouTube comment by Ed Mitchell
“+Matt McMahon Inventor If you manage to get the Nitrogen theory working you will have done the impossible Matt. As that BS theory the way you all want it to work breaks untold numbers of rules and laws of science. Now do as the good Max as instructed you to do and study or stay out of our way. A lead for you. If you don’t make use of the scientific method on this one you will fail as there is no getting around it as no amount of guessing is going to solve this technology for you.”
“There’s nothing to see here folks – move along!” – that is the method of operation (M.O.) of the disinformation agents who are spreading lies, rumors and myths online doing their best to not let you see what Meyer was saying in his own words. They’re all Meyer experts but they deny the most important things that Meyer said in his own documents.
They jump into the middle of Stan Meyer’s work bypassing everything he did in the beginning and they call that scientific?!
You can see the constant attempts by Ed Mitchell and others in his circle are constantly trying to do what they can to deter you from learning about the Nitrogen key, but here you are with Meyer’s own words and these are just a few of MANY snippets from his documents.
In Meyer’s documents, he defies what he means by non-combustible gases.
1. Nitrogen dissolved in water, which he says is not practical or realistic to use because the amount is too small.
2. Nitrogen from the ambient air, which is 78% of the contents.
3. Recycled exhaust.
Here is a direct excerpt from Meyer’s documents showing you that he was creating a SYNTHETIC GAS and water gas by itself is NOT a synthetic gas. Creating ammonia type fuel by modifying water gas with nitrogen from the air IS a synthetic gas.
Please download this document:
Controlled Hydrogen Gas Flame CA1235669A1
and
Look at this image:
What you see at the top left is a mixing valve to let in ambient air from the ATMOSPHERE and NOT ambient air gasses dissolved in water as Ed Mitchell claims.
This is what the patent says about it:
“Natural water such as tap, well, sea or fresh water is an absorber of ambient air. Ambient air in turn contains a substantial amount of nitrogen gas. Water as an absorber of ambient air will entrap seventeen percent (17%) of nitrogen gas; that is natural water absorbs seventeen percent (17%) of nitrogen gas in comparison to its hydro- gen and oxygen gas content. In operation of the hydrogen generator the gases in the water will be released. Therefore, when natural water is used the air will be released together with the hydro- gen and oxygen gases. In the preferred embodiment utilizing tap water, the nitrogen gases 16a — 16n are intermixed with the hydrogen gases 14a — 14n and the oxygen gases 18a— 18n in the chamber 19 of the hydro- gen generator 10. Upon release of the gases via line 24 and nozzle 20 and then port 22 the gas mixture is ignited to provide a flame 25. Flame 25 is sustained in that the nitrogen gases 16a — 16n reduce the burning velocity and temperature of the hydrogen gas 14a — 14n. A realistic and practical manner of further con- trolling the burning velocity and temperature of the hydrogen gases 14a — 14n is by adding non- combustible gases directly to the hydrogen and oxygen gases generated. This is accomplished by inlet 30 to the upper gas chamber 19 of the hydrogen generator. Valve means 35 is adjustable to control the amount of non-combustible gases 16a — 16n added to the gas chamber 19. The nozzle 20 connected to the chamber…”
The FIRST blue highlighted section shows that dissolved nitrogen in water will indeed mix with the freed up hydrogen and oxygen. Meyer is wrong about water containing 17% nitrogen though, it is much less.
The SECOND blue highlighted section shows that Meyer is stating that the nitrogen controls the burn rate of hydrogen.
The THIRD blue highlighted section shows a REALISTIC AND PRACTICAL manner of really controlling the burn rate of hydrogen is by directly mixing the water gases with ambient air from the atmosphere. In this old original patent, he did it by letting air come into the top of the cell, which is certainly NOT traces of nitrogen dissolved in water as the online disinformation is trying to make everyone believe.
Now, just because Meyer started out diluting water gas with Nitrogen, this does not mean that trying to create high amounts of HHO is a bad idea.
This was before Meyer ever went the route of the VIC to try to produce more water gas for the same electricity. You can see the patent doesn’t even use concentric tubes in his cell but flat plates and he has even earlier patents where the electrodes are simply 2 pointed rods with a gap between them submerged in water. Most people are starting their studies with Meyer’s technology with concentric tubes and the VIC completely throwing out the window what the whole point was – to control the burn rate of hydrogen to get the thermal energy out of it so it burns like gasoline (slow) instead of a fast detonation.
I’ve created water gas hundreds of percent beyond Faraday and it is still not enough to run an engine and that was never what Meyer did. It wasn’t about QUANTITY of gas, it was about QUALITY of gas. He also recycled the exhaust back to the intake to condense and build up that supply of ammonia to act as the source of hydrogen. There is no magic here and no natural principles are violated.
As long as you can crack hydrogen from the ammonia and there are many tractors, etc. running on ammonia just fine, then you can continue to use the exhaust as a supplemental fuel source that condenses over time.
If you do want to get more details on this entire process, you can get my Water Fuel Secrets package here: http://waterfuelsecrets.com but honestly, there are enough priceless bit of information above that if you just searched it long enough, you’ll find all the references to see that what I am saying is 100% accurate as far as my claim that this is exactly what Meyer is spelling out in his patents and Nitrogen dilution of the water gas absolutely is indisputably THE KEY to his synthetic fuel on demand that allowed the water gas to burn like gasoline instead of detonating like normal.
I hope you enjoy and appreciate the information shared above. There is more truth about what Meyer did posted above than in most websites on Meyer’s technology combined. I’m not trying to compete with anyone, I just have no tolerance to misinformation when the truth is right there in front of everyone in readily available public domain documents! This is not some discovery unique to me and I have to give credit to those who helped point me in the right direction.
Recently, I have been in touch with someone that has an interest in this water fuel concept and my plasma ignition and during some discussions, he pointed out some very interesting items from someone’s work that goes back before Stan Meyer was born.
He’s getting it all prepared and when I announce it, I will make another blog post here pointing out a few things about that work and why I think it is an absolutely priceless study. When this person pointed out some of this old work, it looked fairly obviously to me that Meyer had studied the same work and that is where he got the ideas about controlling the burn rate, recycling his exhaust and Meyer even mentions in his documents that he could close loop his whole system. It appears to be THE GENESIS of all of Meyer’s work in regards to controlling the burn rate of hydrogen, etc. as it looks like a natural extension of the work of one particular historical individual who is surrounded with mystery, tales and it wouldn’t be complete without a bit of conspiracy!
The good thing is, that person’s original work still survives and some people have working models and I’m looking forward to announcing this soon. The implications of being able to really put this technology on the map is huge. Not enough people know about it but soon, my hope is that you will join me in spreading the word about it far and wide! PLEASE USE THE SHARE BUTTONS BELOW TO SHARE THIS ON FACEBOOK, TWITTER, ETC.
Just when you thought incandescent bulbs were going out, they’ve been “reinvented” to be even more efficient than LEDs!
Normally Incandescent bulbs are about 5-10% efficient as most of the energy is converted to wasted heat and this age-old problem has finally been solved.
We’re literally talking about recycling light in a two step process.
“The key is to create a two-stage process, the researchers report. The first stage involves a conventional heated metal filament, with all its attendant losses. But instead of allowing the waste heat to dissipate in the form of infrared radiation, secondary structures surrounding the filament capture this radiation and reflect it back to the filament to be re-absorbed and re-emitted as visible light. These structures, a form of photonic crystal, are made of Earth-abundant elements and can be made using conventional material-deposition technology.
That second step makes a dramatic difference in how efficiently the system converts electricity into light. One quantity that characterizes a lighting source is the so-called luminous efficiency, which takes into account the response of the human eye. Whereas the luminous efficiency of conventional incandescent lights is between 2 and 3 percent, that of fluorescents (including CFLs) is between 7 and 15 percent, and that of most commercial LEDs between 5 and 20 percent, the new two-stage incandescents could reach efficiencies as high as 40 percent, the team says.
The first proof-of-concept units made by the team do not yet reach that level, achieving about 6.6 percent efficiency. But even that preliminary result matches the efficiency of some of today’s CFLs and LEDs, they point out. And it is already a threefold improvement over the efficiency of today’s incandescents.
The team refers to their approach as “light recycling,” says Ilic, since their material takes in the unwanted, useless wavelengths of energy and converts them into the visible light wavelengths that are desired. “It recycles the energy that would otherwise be wasted,” says Soljačić.”
The rest of the article available here: http://news.mit.edu/2016/nanophotonic-incandescent-light-bulbs-0111 mentions that the crystal is created with readily available natural ingredients so cost will probably not be an issue if they actually get these out to the public.
You’ve probably heard of Smart Meters – something else significant from Spokane is that one of the largest manufacturers of Smart Meters is based right here and we’re all to familiar with the local power company wanting to start placing these contraptions on homes while replacing perfectly good analog meters.
Whether you are familiar with the pro and con claims for Smart Meters, it is a good idea to inform yourself and decide whether or not you want to let your power company install one because in most places, it is up to you to refuse them. In any case, here is a free video that will definitely make you think twice: https://takebackyourpower.net/free-viewing/

We mentioned that John Bedini would be disclosing something and he has actually disclosed and is continuing to disclose what the Zero Force Motor is, how it operates along with detailed explanations of its working principles. This knowledge that John is sharing is not just applicable to the Zero Force Motor, but opens up the mind to a whole other world of possibilities when it comes to what is actually happening inside of an electromagnetic coil.
This video was posted quite a while back:
Here is another Zero Force Motor that John Bedini made that is at a much lower power but helps to teach the principles.

The Keshe Foundation has been building quite a network over the last several years with all kinds of free energy claims and devices for sales that are supposed to help get you off the grid.
These deal with superconductive nano-coatings on wires to plasma batteries. If there is one hot topic that we are emailed about – it is, “Are the Keshe claims real?” We can’t just claim it is or isn’t but here are a few facts that you should consider.
A few years ago, they were selling high output generators for thousands of Euros and to date, we can not verify that anyone has ever received one. More recently, this foundation has been selling energy units for about 800 Euros and we also cannot find evidence that anyone has ever received one. We have however found quite a few posts online by people who have spent the money and are complaining that they never received anything and have been brushed off over and over about new shipping dates, etc. and the list goes on.
Maybe the technology works and maybe it doesn’t, but recently, PayPal has blocked their account so they cannot receive any more money and the copyright owner and 5% shareholder of the foundation, Dirk Laureyssens, has even ordered the Keshe Foundation to stop using the logos.
Mr. Laureyssens, the copyright owner has filed legal action and here is a quote from him, “Due to the unacceptable slanderous and insulting behavior of Mr. Mehran Tavakoli Keshe in public, the logos can no longer be used by KF worldwide, starting … SEPT 21,2015. The logo’s will need to be removed from all documents, websites, Facebook groups, YouTubes, … everywhere.”
If you know of anyone on Facebook or elsewhere that is using this logo or a variation of it as their Avatar, etc. you might want to let them know that they might have their Facebook or other accounts shut down if they don’t comply.
Should you buy anything from the Keshe Foundation? Caveat Emptor! Buyer beware – it is up to you to do your due diligence and decide if you want to donate money or purchase any of their products. We’re not spending a penny on any of it until we see evidence that those who have spent thousands have actually received what they paid for.

Here are two discussions at Energetic Forum about Keshe.
Supportive of Keshe: http://www.energeticforum.com/renewable-energy/20307-keshe-blueprint.html

Conventional physics is in alignment with Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion where every action is supposed to have an equal and opposite reaction. However, that is a misunderstanding of natural phenomena because the reality is that the combined forces are divided between two reference points and that is a huge difference in the interpretation of nature. However that may be, this still does not permit a propulsion system with no reaction at all.
An important distinction is that there actually are mechanical systems, which take a reaction but turn it around to help push the machine/device/system in the forward direction. That means that the reaction is not opposing anything and is actually used to become additive to the original forward motion that created it to begin with. That means more forward work is accomplished compared to the work that was input and this violates no laws of physics contrary to conventional belief. Take note that there still is a reaction, but it does not buck the forward intended motion.
Examples of these include Veljko’s 2 Stage Mechanical Oscillator, Fernando Sixto Ramos Solano’s Force Multiplier System, William F. Skinner’s 1939 Gravity Power Machine and others. These systems have many things in common, which include the fact that there is a reaction in the system that is cleverly manipulated into doing forward work for the system. No laws of physics are violated and it has nothing to do with perpetual motion.
Now, lets get to systems that have no apparent reaction whatsoever. We’re not talking about using reactive power to do forward work, we’re taking about a system that appears to have no reaction at all.
Recently in the news, a new space propulsion drive is being admitted by NASA to have no reaction and it is ruffling some feather. An astrophysicist told Space.com, “The reason it’s controversial is, it violates Newton’s Third Law.”
The concept was invented by Roger Shawyer who calls it an EmDrive. Microwaves are bounced around inside a conical shaped container and without any propellant, a small amount of thrust is created. This has been verified by researchers at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston.
The thrust produced is extremely small but nevertheless, it works and of course needs to be researched and developed further. It is always a good sign when we see conventionally trained academics and engineers admitting that something is doing the “impossible” and is apparently violating the coveted laws of physics.
You can read more about this here: http://www.space.com/29363-impossible-em-drive-space-engine-nasa.html
The paper by NASA on this project is here: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/search.jsp?R=20140006052 – a link to the PDF is on this page.
It seems that the conical shape is causing a simple potential difference between the narrow and wide end giving it somewhat of an asymmetrical dipole effect that appears to be related to a century old discovery.
A reaction-less space drive has was invented and proven out in the 1920s – almost 100 years ago!
Thomas Townsend Brown developed an interesting propulsion system using capacitors charged to a high voltage. When charged up, the capacitor moves through space in the direction of the positive terminal. Here is a short excerpt from his British Patent #300,311, A Method of & an Apparatus or Machine for Producing Force or Motion:
“The invention also relates to machines or apparatus requiring electrical energy that control or influence the gravitational field or the energy of gravitation; also to machines or apparatus requiring electrical energy that exhibit a linear force or motion which is believed to be independent of all frames of reference save that which is at rest relative to the universe taken as a whole, and said linear force or motion is furthermore believed to have no equal and opposite reaction that can be observed by any method commonly known and accepted by the physical science to date. ”
This reaction-less propulsion system from he 1920s is not just theoretical, it demonstrates what is known as the Biefeld-Brown Effect, which is the basis for a field known as “Electrogravitics.”
Ten years ago when I first wrote The Quantum Key, my layman’s Aetheric Unified Model predicted the proper direction of movement in this manner without having ever heard of the Bifeld-Brown Effect. Basically, the positive charge of the aetheric source potential is repelled by the high voltage positive at the leading edge of the “craft” and this causes it to be deflected over the shell towards the negative end. Simultaneously, the implied anti or negative charge of the aether pulls on the positive end of the craft and causes it to move along at a negative resistance and this seems to be the obvious reason for no reaction – there simply is no positive resistance it is moving in to. Since the positive aetheric source charge is what causes inertia by imparting an electrostatic repulsion against the protons that make up the mass, inertia is reduced since that which causes it is no longer moving through the atomic matrix of the mass that makes up the craft – it is deflected over it. This appears to be the main principle at play in any asymmetrical thruster that has no reaction.
Anyway, the mainstream sources of information are really mainstream sources of disinformation because it is constantly claimed that the effect is nothing more than ion wind and that the movement is ion propulsion, but it is not. There is a small bit of ion wind, but not even close to being enough to account for the amount of lift or thrust given to an apparatus utilizing the Biefeld-Brown Effect.
The most common is known as a “Lifter” and you can see a very basic one in operation here:
Here is a PDF of a report from the U.S. Army Laboratory stating, “The calculations indicate that ionic wind is at least three orders of magnitude too small to explain the magnitude of the observed force on the capacitor.” Force on an Asymmetric Capacitor
An interesting new development allows light to be directed in a unique way.
Using a gold-plated silicon array, light can be made to move at 90 degrees from where it came from and the strange thing is that the light moves in a STRAIGHT LINE instead of in a sinusoidal pattern. That prevents interference between two different phases of light.
This is not a claim that the light is transmitting in some sort of longitudinal way, but it sure sounds like it – especially when it was reported that there was no time delay between the transmission of light from one point to the other. Longitudinal transmission would mean that energy is not lost at 90 degrees from the direction that the light is moving as opposed to a transverse “sinusoidal pattern”.
Another interesting thing is that the original article posted by PBS did state that the light was transmitted instantaneously to the other side instantaneously. Shortly thereafter, they were asked to correct the article so that the laws of physics were not violated.
“A previous version of this article mistakenly reported that light hitting the chip was transmitted to the other side instantaneously. That would violate the laws of physics, of course. We regret the error.”

A group of students from the University of Calgary have developed a simple evaporative refrigerator. It was inspired by the way that animals and insects keep themselves cool.
Warm air from the surroundings is funneled into a pipe network to evaporate water moisture, which carries heat away from the air. Once the air is cooled, it moves into the chamber where the food is kept. The only power requirement to bring the temperature down to 4C is to power a small fan to move this cool air, which can be done with a very small battery setup powered by a small solar panel. The refrigerator still works with no electricity but works best with the fan.

20 years ago, the Navy created a magnetoelastic material that produced efficient electricity. When this material, Galfenol, is physically impacted, it produces a magnetic fields.
Galfenol can produce up to 80 megawatts of power per cubic meter under strong impacts! Not only does this material produce a magnetic field when hit, a magnetic field applied to the material will cause it to change shape – so it works both ways – and at a 70% conversion efficiency.
One of the first things that comes to mind is to possibly use the Galfenol in conjunction with Nitinol – the metal that changes shape with heat. Our Energy Times newsletter has an entire article on Nitinol with some recommended links.
Maybe we have the materials necessary for a perpetual motion machine? Perhaps Galfenol can create electricity that heats a resistor that causes the Nitinol to bend. That bending could in turn impact the Galfenol to create the magnetic field. At that point, the Nitinol cools and goes back to the original shape. The magnetic field can cause electricity to produce heat to warm the Nitinol causing it to bend and repeat the process.
This is obviously not a completely serious suggestion but is food for thought since it seems all the necessary attributes to do something like this is sitting right there in these materials.
