Marshall, re: cooling and liquid nitrogen Ever at the forefront of technological advancement, FBN Associates innovated the cooling solution during their never-ending research to solve the Y2K crisis. This solution can be easily adapted to any superconductor technology; codename: “San Francisco Summer”, shown in two variations at our various top secret, secured, research centers (Stations 05-PtRys, and 13-Tmls_bY; GPS coordinates undisclosed and confidential): magneticdiary.com magneticdiary.com Of course, the high-level security nature of this research naturally requires it can't be divulged in a press release. Please keep it “under your hat.”

If he can do what he says he would make much more money producing low cost rail guns for the Military and make a greater profit. BTW a Hydrogen fuel cell car or normal construction (GEO) {that has only pure water as exhaust) was tested this week and I believe beat the hybrid fossil/electric cars handily. I will check. No scientist here, but isn't it easier to push a magnetic rod thru a coil than to turn a coil in a magnetic field? At any rate the application of energy would be necessary to start the process and if it isn't fossil, if would likely be electric. If this guy can get more from less of the same source we all shall have endless sources of power for ever. I will have to tuck this away with my Webnodes. TG

What I'd like to know is where the input power is coming from to rotate the coils No, no, no, no. You are missing the entire thing here. Where the power comes from is not part of the deal. You are doing way too much due diligence. Unacceptable. Look at it like this: (I know it's a stretch, work with me.) You're a moron. Some guy tells you that he will give you some ice cream if you ride the merry-go-round. He puts you on the merry-go-round, stands there and spins it around until you get real dizzy, then he slows you down, and says, "Wow, that was fun, wasn't it?" And you smile and grab something so you don't fall down. Then the guy takes your wallet and runs away to the Cayman Islands. After a few minutes, you feel less dizzy, and you look for your ice cream. When you can't find it, you blame Janice. She's in Italy. Are we clear on this?

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. th
