Motionless Electromagnetic Generator Project Sponsored by Duke Energy Background: The motionless electromagnetic generator is a device that claims that it can sustain its operation in addition to powering a load without the application of external electrical power, by extraction of vacuum energy from its immediate environment. This device looks and acts very similarly to a standard transformer, with the exception of a permanent magnet and two actuator coils being included. Motionless power generation exploits the unique properties of a magnetic core. This area of free-energy power generation has incredible potential. In 2002, the US Patent Office issued a patent for a free-energy home generator. This is significant because the Patent Office’s reputation for denying free-energy claims. This possible breakthrough could mean motionless power generation will soon be a reality. Problem Statement: Motionless power generation is a new and exciting technology. We will attempt to verify the technology is feasible by creating a model of the already patented device. By investigating the device characteristics, we will determine if it is possible to consistently yield an output of greater than unity gain. There are many fears and claims that the power is actually just voltage spikes that are being created by this device and not actually sustainable electricity. We must test in attempts to dismiss these claims. If it is possible we will develop a generator for commercial applications. Team Members: Patrick Carr carrpl@gmail.com Advisors: John Procario (Faculty) Paul Kling (Duke Energy) Goal: To build a small scale Motionless Electromagnetic Generator and develop a design for a commercial-scale version capable of 4 - 12 kW output.
