Hi Marshall,

I'm a right brain challenged Engineer also. I don't know art (other than the painting "Dogs Playing Cards" is damned good), but I do feel comfortable with the fact that the laws of physics are evenly applied, even in Mr. Abolafia's world. I haven't read his patent in detail, but you've zeroed in on what troubled me. In a perfect world where frictionless pulleys and bearings exist outside of a dynamics class and super conductors exist at room temperature, I think that Mr. Abolafia will find that the energy required to change a static magnetic field to a dynamic one will mysteriously equal the output energy.
