  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. DC motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_motor

    The direction and magnitude of the magnetic field produced by the coil can be changed with the direction and magnitude of the current flowing through it. A simple DC motor has a stationary set of magnets in the stator and an armature with one or more windings of insulated wire wrapped around a soft iron core that concentrates the magnetic field ...

  6. Electric generator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_generator

    In electricity generation, a generator[1] is a device that converts motion-based power (potential and kinetic energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even ...

  7. Free energy suppression conspiracy theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_energy_suppression...

    Free energy suppression (or new energy suppression) is a conspiracy theory that technologically viable, pollution-free, no-cost energy sources are being suppressed by governments, corporations, or advocacy groups. [1][2] Devices allegedly suppressed include perpetual motion machines, cold fusion generators, torus -based generators, reverse ...

  8. Electric motor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_motor

    An electric motor is a machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. Most electric motors operate through the interaction between the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft. An electric generator is mechanically identical to an electric ...

  9. Superconducting magnetic energy storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superconducting_magnetic...

    Unlimited cycles [1] Superconducting magnetic energy storage (SMES) systems store energy in the magnetic field created by the flow of direct current in a superconducting coil that has been cryogenically cooled to a temperature below its superconducting critical temperature. This use of superconducting coils to store magnetic energy was invented ...
