[geeks] Yet another weird one...

[David Passmore]

While most of the e-mail you quoted was nonsense, this is a real patent:

http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO2&Sect2=HITOFF&p=1&u=/netahtml/search-bool.html&r=1&f=G&l=50&co1=AND&d=ft00&s1=6362718&OS=6362718&RS=6362718

The idea is pretty brilliant; instead of using kinetic motion, as is done in
a regular generator (moving a coil across a magnetic field induces electric
current), this uses electricity to produce a magnetic field that opposes the
field of a permament magnet, sort of like holding two magnets together by
the same pole, they push each other apart. Well this field pushes the
magnetic flux of the permament magnet across an opposing coil, and induces
an electric current in it. Since it's not the flux itself but the movement
of it that creates the current, it has to be done in a short burst; hence
the switching you'll see if you read the patent, to produce a sort of
alternating current in two sets of input an output coils.

This is basically using the magnetic flux stored in a permanent magnet as a
battery, and over time the magnet will lose its magnetic qualities.
