Local Man Creates Engine Powered By Magnets

Allen — A local area resident Jeff Baird’s newest invention is an engine that uses a technology that really isn’t new at all. It’s electromagnets.It’s probably 60 or 70-year-old technology.Many have tried and failed to get these engines to run efficiently and Baird said he has fixed what others couldn’t.All they’re doing is pulling on the pistons which has been done before.

The current prototype can generate enough electricity to power lights, televisions and computers. It is a work in progress and bigger and better engines are on the way, Baird said. Large batteries fire the magnets and the motor acts as an alternator that keeps the batteries charged continuously. Because it does not use fossil fuels, it is environmentally friendly.

Regenerative Shock Absorbers For Energy Retention

Posted on Thursday, January 29, 2009 posted by posted by Mak @ 3:48 AM

Regenerative braking usually is one of the selling points of hybrid cars, and this technology help increase mileage and energy retention thus it is economically viable to exploit similar technologies.

Engineers at Tufts University have created regenerative shock absorbers and hopefully, there will be the new way of harnessing energy from the vertical movement of a vehicle. According to Tufts Journal, the technology using Kinetic Energy Recovery System (KERS)is an electromagnetic linear generator, which converts energy that would otherwise be lost, into electrical energy that can help charge a vehicle’s battery. It is said that it could potentially increase mileage by 20% to 70% and be employed in hybrids such as the Toyota Prius, Honda Insight and Chevy Volt.

Flying Saucer With Anti Gravity Technology - Will it Work?

Posted on Wednesday, January 21, 2009 posted by posted by Mak @ 8:39 PM

A Michigan man has designed a flying saucer that he says one day could transport you back and forth to work.It's a flying machine that has been in the works for 30 years. Alfie Carrington has invented the XV7H,That will cruise 700 miles an hour."I won't go to mach speed, too controversial," said Carrington.

His own version of Anti Gravity Technology Propulsion: His idea is to fire up the vessel with a rotary engine to stimulate a magnetic levitation system to rotate the ship's two discs. The discs would draw air into propeller blades.

"The outer disc rotates in one direction as it draws air in through the inlet holes. And then the inner disk that rotates in the opposite direction," said Carrington. Some how creating an electromagnetic force for lift and funneling air for directional control.The entire bill, about $70,000 so far, has been footed by the 59-year-old dishwasher and construction worker.The experts say it's impossible.Carrington says he'd like to debate them face-to-face about his work in progress.

Energy from Vacuum? - Perhaps, says Institute of Vacuumenergy

Energy from Vacuum? - Perhaps, says Institute of Vacuumenergy

Came across an interesting site by Institute of Vacuumenergy...

Following is their introduction about themselves and what they do.

"In the Institute for Vacuumenergy we are researching a method, which may enable us to use the active potential inherent in the vacuum as an energy source. We would like to give mankind the possibility of clean electromagnetic energy.

The Institute for Vacuumenergy is an independent and privately financed project.

How does a free energy machine work which uses the active vacuum as an external energy source?

Asymmetrical vacuum energy machine

A device which is able to use the quantum mechanical vacuum as an external energy source, intervenes into the active vacuum in the sense of an open system. It is possible to design an EM system in such a way, that a certain amount of electromagnetic energy is being used to create a so called asymmetric situation. A channel can be opened through which the potential of the vacuum in the sense of an external energy source can flow into our system because of a mechanism of asymmetry.
So the energy from a vacuum energy machine of course does not derive from nothing, but from the active vacuum. Ironically our source charge (dipole) is already a vacuum energy machine,concerning the extraction of the energy from the vacuum, meaning that our common electric circuit is already beeing potentiallized through an asymmetry towards the active vaccum. The scalar potential has an internal dynamic nature like any standing wave having an internal dynamic nature. If we don´t want to violate the first law, we just have to consider the vaccum as an energy domain and add it to our calculations.

Interesting, isn't it?
