Motionless Electromagnetic Generator

When I was checking up on metglas (amorphous alloy) transformer cores, I encountered the following webpage:

Any comments?

From a cursory examination, it appears to be a transformer.

Hi Jonathan,

Ah yes, another overunity, free power generator. That's not one I had seen before. Wish them the best of luck in their endevor to create a perpetual motion machine.

The constant reminders that this information was strictly for educational purposes and was not to be used for commercial purposes was almost quaint. Like anyone is going to commercialize this. Thanks for the laugh.

When we know absloutely everything we will be able to say with certainty "no, it doesn't work". Till then, we can only be 99.9999999999% certain it doesn't work. That said, I hope it one day does work but I aren't holding my breath.

IT can't be a perpetual motion machine (or the transformer equivelent), as the second law of thermodynamics proibits any device like this working. Our lecturers here even pointed out that they recieve a few new ideas every year, all of which can be disproved in about five minutes. Besides, if this did work, why would you put your idea up on the internet, and not keep it seecret and sell it for lots of money to the power supply companies?

On the plus side, they have put a lot of effort into this, so they are probably getting a good laugh out of it when they get the e-mails from prospective investors in their idea, or people trying to coppy it.

This is an idea that has been around for a long time...free energy! Here is a website that collects this stuff, as well as off the wall ideas:

For perpetual energy, see

Always good for a laugh!

I'm moving this to EE, no offense, just a bit of Sunday morning housekeeping

Hmm… Looks like a magnetic amplifier or magnetic switch offset by a permanent magnet. These devices exist for many decades. In the same way a normal amplifier does not give free energy, this devices will never do. Nothing special.
