Anyone built John's School Girl machine? Any comments on the oscillator? Like I said earlier it provides shaft energy plus it captures the flyback and sends it to a second battery and charges it.
What exactly is the point of that device?
You can charge a battery from another battery and turn a bicycle wheel at the same time? Why?
If any of these things actually worked as claimed, why are there zero commercial (or even private, practical) examples of the things delivering anything in the Real World?
The people out there who are exploiting scientific/physical phenomenon for fun and profit are those who understand the real laws of physics and how to use them in the real world.
Everyone else appears to be fooling around with junk in their basement and making goofy YouTube videos.
Yeah, he got a patent for it. But you will find lots of patents for things out there that will never work.
Including more than a few perpetual-motion machines. I didn't check, but it may even be included in this list:
"Patents for Unworkable Devices"
https://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/museum/patents.htmYou don't have to demonstrate that something meets the claims to be issued a patent.
Although there are people lobbying to tighten up the patent office to be more realistic.
And the schematic diagrams in the patent aren't even complete circuits.
The negative side of the battery theoretically being "charged" is flapping around in the breeze.
Apparently the patent examiner didn't even know how to read a schematic diagram.
But then if they can use magnets with only North poles, maybe they have special batteries that don't need a complete circuit.
