Introduction Beginning with Magnetics Kinetic Magnets: Self-Oscillation in Magnetic Materials

The present author was for some years a colleague of inventor Floyd Sweet.  In the 1980s and 1990s, the Sweet  solid state vacuum triode amplifier { [4] } (Figure 7) produced ordinary, standard EM energy (6 watts in the first unit; 500 watts in later units) unless specially rigged to do antigravity.  A retired electrical engineer proficient on the bench, Sweet's second power unit produced 500 watts with a COP »1.5´10⁶.  The system used barium ferrite permanent magnets whose materials were conditioned into self-oscillation at an initiated ELF frequency.  Such a magnet is loosely referred to as a "kinetic magnet".

Self-oscillation in permanent magnets is fairly well-known { [5] }, though not in electrical power system circles.  Sweet's unique contribution was to stimulate self-oscillation at lower frequencies than what is ordinarily thought possible, and to do it more strongly than commonly found in the literature.  The unit could also be rigged to do anti-gravity {4 }(Figure 8), and would reduce its weight on the laboratory bench by 90%, but that is beyond the scope of this present paper.

It should be obvious to the reader that a permanent magnet with self-oscillating fields can be surrounded by conductors or coils in which the kinetic fields "cut" the conductors and induce currents freely.  A resistor can be connected in a closed circuit with the coils, and the resistor will be powered by the kinetic magnet so that free work is continuously performed.  In short, any competent university laboratory can produce such a demonstrable little overunity EM power system with a little effort from presently known self-oscillation in magnetic materials {5 }.  That alone is sufficient to prove that overunity EM power systems are permissible, since it only takes a single white crow to prove that not all crows are black.

Sweet activated his magnets by a proprietary process which he never fully revealed.  Nevertheless, materials scientists competent in self-oscillation in magnetic materials can produce such an example magnet, which remains self-kinetic at somewhat higher frequency than the Sweet VTA for some period of time such as minutes, several hours, a day, or even a week.

Sweet's mentor was the great Gabriel Kron, [2] whose negative resistor we discuss later.  Sweet greatly admired Kron and knew the details of Kron's negative resistor.  A possible connection between Sweet's VTA and Kron's negative resistor cannot be ruled out. 

The Researcher Must Be Aware Of Numerous Magnetic Effects { [6] }

Overunity researchers into magnetic approaches must progress beyond the simplified notion that a permanent magnet is just a blob of uniform material with a magnetic pole at each end.  One must be aware of a wide range of odd and unusual effects in magnetic materials { [7]}, if one wishes to address unusual magnetic engines.

Multivalued magnetic potentials (MVMPs) [3] arise naturally in magnetic theory { [8] }, and such potentials can yield a nonconservative magnetic field.  In that case, integration of F·ds around a rotation loop may permissibly be nonzero, producing an open system far from thermodynamic equilibrium, and permitting the system to exhibit COP>1.0.  The MVMP "potential self-jump" is an asymmetrical self-regauging. [4]

Many magnetic materials are also photorefractive, and readily produce nonlinear optical effects at various frequencies.  As one example, multivalued phase conjugate reflection can occur { [9] }.  Such effects did occur in the Sweet vacuum triode amplifier.

If the magnetics researcher doesn't know what a Wiegand wire { [10] } is or the Dromgoole { [11] } effect is, or what the exchange force is, he needs to read the literature.  The Wiegand effect occurs in a magnetic pulse wire which, in a magnetic field of a certain size, will self-reverse its dual magnetic state and deliver a very sharp, free magnetic pulse.  By surrounding the wire with a coil of many fine turns, one can get a 12-volt pulse of electrical energy, for free.  These assemblies are widely used as sensors and switching initiators.

The Dromgoole phenomenon is an interesting effect whereby a voltage placed on a solenoid wrapped around an iron wire may be increased up to 300 times as much by twisting the wire through 90 degrees.

The exchange force is a result of nearly instantaneous "spin flipping" of electrons in the magnetic material, producing a momentary sharp change in magnetic field, both in magnitude and orientation. [5]   This exchange force momentarily may be more than a thousand times as strong as the normal B-field.

There are hundreds of other novel magnetic effects in magnetic materials, many of them involving unusual spin effects.  The serious overunity magnetics researcher needs to laboriously compile a set of references on such topics.  One never knows in advance when one may meet one or more of these phenomena in magnetic experiments with odd devices.  About half the known magnetic phenomena are well understood; the remainder run the gamut from "somewhat understood" to "not understood at all".
