Know what gets me? I read all through that patent and while of course a coil rotated through a permanent magnetic field can produce electricity. (seems we've done this for ages and called it a generator or an alternator if the field coils were electromagnetic and it had slip rings as opposed to brushes) What I'd like to know is where the input power is coming from to rotate the coils and especially - where is the power coming from to cool the superconducting material down to the critical state? I guess if you carried around a bottle of liquid nitrogen it might help but that stuff isn't free, I just may call this guy to get his explanation as I may have missed something.
