Jon -- THIS IS A PERPETUAL MOTION SCAM!! Don't get suckered in. If any
governmental entity that you pay taxes to tries to lend or give any kind of
material support other than what it is obligated by law to povide then go "man
the barriers" and scream till they stop. Magnets don't contain energy any more
than a rock contains energy if you lift it above your head. That's called
"potential energy". You lift the rock off the ground with the energy that
comes from glucose sugar in your blood which your muscles convert into work
energy. Let go of the rock and try to catch it just as it falls back to the
ground and part of the erergy you released cuts your finger. Now let's say
that you have a big strong magnet sitting on your wood workbench. You move the
magnet over toward your steel toolbox and get close enough and the magnet
jumps toward the tool box. Now, say you decided to fool around with magnets
and rocks after you've enjoyed a 6 pack of your favorite brew. Your hand just
happened to be in the way of the magnet when it released the stored up energy
it had by being separate from any steel and you got the same cut as you got
from the rock hitting the ground. That's really all potential energy. Same
with magnets or gravity in that respect. And by the way that kind of energy is
a very small amount compared with the energy that is available from chemical
sources or even our electrical grid. . And if there is any patent related to
this thing it likely has to do with some novel way of designing a generator
(thay may not work) to get a bit more efficiency or is just a pending patent.
No, these guys are scamming to raise money so they can collect a salary for a
year or two until teality catches up. BTW, thanks for your comments. Just now
read them. Im in full agreement. Ed Weldon ----- Original Message ----- From:
