  2. Newman's energy machine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newman's_energy_machine

    Newman's Energy Machine was a DC motor which the inventor, Joseph Newman, claimed to produce mechanical power exceeding the electrical power being supplied to it. In 1979, Newman attempted to patent the device, but it was rejected by the United States Patent Office as being a perpetual motion machine . [ 1 ]

  3. Magnetohydrodynamic generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetohydrodynamic_generator

    A magnetohydrodynamic generator (MHD generator) is a magnetohydrodynamic converter that transforms thermal energy and kinetic energy directly into electricity. An MHD generator, like a conventional generator, relies on moving a conductor through a magnetic field to generate electric current. The MHD generator uses hot conductive ionized gas (a ...

  4. Homopolar motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_motor

    The screw and magnet spin, with the screw tip acting as a bearing. A homopolar motor is a direct current electric motor with two magnetic poles, the conductors of which always cut unidirectional lines of magnetic flux by rotating a conductor around a fixed axis so that the conductor is at right angles to a static magnetic field.

  5. Joseph Westley Newman - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Westley_Newman

    Joseph Westley Newman. Joseph Westley Newman (July 2, 1936 – March 6, 2015) was an American inventor and author who developed an "energy machine" which he attempted to patent, but was rejected by the US Patent and Trademark Office on grounds of being a perpetual motion machine. He described this device in a book, The Energy Machine of Joseph ...

  6. Magneto - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto

    Magneto. Demonstration hand-cranked magneto made circa 1925, on display at the Musée d'histoire des sciences de la Ville de Genève. A magneto is an electrical generator that uses permanent magnets to produce periodic pulses of alternating current. Unlike a dynamo, a magneto does not contain a commutator to produce direct current.

  7. Magnet motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnet_motor

    A magnet motor or magnetic motor is a type of perpetual motion machine, which is intended to generate a rotation by means of permanent magnets in stator and rotor without external energy supply. Such a motor is theoretically as well as practically not realizable. [1][2] The idea of functioning magnetic motors has been promoted by various hobbyists.

  8. Homopolar generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homopolar_generator

    Homopolar generator. Faraday disk, the first homopolar generator. A homopolar generator is a DC electrical generator comprising an electrically conductive disc or cylinder rotating in a plane perpendicular to a uniform static magnetic field. A potential difference is created between the center of the disc and the rim (or ends of the cylinder ...

  9. Free energy principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_energy_principle

    The free energy principle is a mathematical principle of information physics: much like the principle of maximum entropy or the principle of least action, it is true on mathematical grounds. To attempt to falsify the free energy principle is a category mistake, akin to trying to falsify calculus by making empirical observations.
