John Bedini is also a close friend and colleague; John built several experimental motors (both electrical and magnetic) in the overunity area, and performed successful trans-mutation experiments. John is a recognized genius in high-end sound amplifier development. Many audiophiles worldwide still swear that the Bedini amplifier is the best and sweetest-sounding audio amplifier ever built. One of John's battery-powered electrical motors (Figure 21), for example, ran continuously off its battery for about five years, and kept the battery charged. When you realize that such a small electric motor is only about 35% efficient, then you realize that about 65% of the energy flowing out of the battery was being dissipated in the motor as heat, core losses, etc. So the unit was continuously performing work for that five years. [note 28] The 1/8 hp motor represented a load in which the continuous rate of work being done (the rate of energy dissipation) was about 0.08 hp. We will have more to say on this motor and its technical process in a future article.
Bill Fogal is a close colleague; Bill has patented the world's first dq/dt-blocking semiconductor, [note 29] which partially blocks the normal current while continuing to pass the flow of voltage (Table 4). I have written a proprietary technical explanation of the Fogal semiconductor, which utilizes an extremely little-known feature called the "overpotential." The overpotential part of the theory is experimentally proven and theoretically explained in an obscure part of electrochemistry, by a few chemists who specialize in electrode effects. J. O'M. Bockris is probably the leading world expert in overpotential theory; he authored the textbook on it. [note 30]
One of the latest overunity developments is the magnetic resonance amplifier (MRA) developed by Joel McLain and Norm Wooten (Figure 22). Earlier testing disputed the overunity functioning. More recent testing at several well-known laboratories has resulted in the instrumental measurements clearly showing overunity. While the test institute scientists themselves may be willing to attest to overunity results of their testing, none of the corporate heads will allow it. I have personally stated that the MRA is capable of overunity. Our own measurements had to be discarded because we did not have the proper instruments available. E.g., all our oscilloscopes were "hard grounded" to building ground, and we needed to make "floating differential ground" measurements in order to settle things once and for all. McLain and Wooten have filed for a patent, and multiple tests with excellent equipment have indeed indicated overunity. What happens next remains to be seen. I suspect that the two inventors may simply accept foreign capital investment and go offshore.
