Over-Unity Generators

[Murraycroexp]

Has anyone done any in depth research on this? I just scratched the surface and find it fascinating.
I will be researching more, in hopes of finding out how feasible it is to build one.
Although I imagine Turtle has probably built 3 and has a power bill of -$138 per month, selling power back to the man!!

Not sure on what you are referring to. What kind of generator do you have in mind?

Google it. It's cool.

Looks like a generator that runs itself off an electric motor. Start it with 110 volts, like with a little power inverter, then switch it over while spinning to run off the power it's generating. The benefit is where the generator is producing more power than the motor requires to turn it. It's quite cool.

I'm not sure how that's possible...

 

[Murraycroexp]

Right?! There's a law of electrical physics that says it's not possible. Lenz maybe? But some of the videos online are fairly convincing. Like I said, more research required.

 

[westmicher]

Reading more it seems the theory has been around for more than 100 years but a commercial unit has never been produced. The theory seems possible BUT the construction of a practical generator is some time away... If ever?

 

[Murraycroexp]

Yeah, it seems odd. Unless the inventors of them died mysteriously. LOL!!

You mean the perpetual motion generator/motor that magically produces more energy than it consumes? The one that defies the Lenz's Law of how electromagnetic circuits obey Newton's Third Law which obeys the Law of Conservation of Energy?

Machines utilizing the notion of perpetual motion have been around since the Middle Ages. Not one of them has ever worked. In every case, a supposedly working prototype has never been able to make it to commercial production because of corporate or governmental forces working to suppress the technology. Even back during the Middle Ages. Even in places where there were no corporate or governmental forces to suppress it.

The US Patent Office will gleefully grant a patent to anyone who can produce a working prototype. The only requirement is that you set it up in one of their offices generating power for one year.

 

[Murraycroexp]

I'm ON it!! LOL!!
Now, if I can figure it out.

What I'm looking at doing is set up a hydro generator off a creek on my farm in Tennessee. It has a nice year around water flow from springs. So I can generate my electricity and sell the extra back to power company. Just lots of details to work out.

Instead of selling back, maybe you can find away to get off the electric grid completely. That would be a MAJOR steps towards FREEDOM!

This is yet another perpetual motion machine, none which have ever worked, ever. It violates the Clausius statement, Carnot's principle, and the Second Law if Thermodynamics.

The closest anyone will get to free energy will be wind and solar power. If one lives next to an active volcano, geothermal becomes an option. One could also dig an oil well in their backyard, or throw an extension cord over a power line, a popular option in third world countries.

Closest thing I ever saw to true perpetual motion was when my kids were three. Even they ran out of energy eventually; that's when I had to draw on my own reserves at the end of the day to carry them up to bed
