I am writing a paper with the title Remanent Magnetism as an Energy Source. Below is the introduction chapter. When you have read this are you still convinced the SEMP system is a scam?

Everyone skilled in the science of magnetism or electromagnetism knows about remanent magnetism, the magnetic field BR that exists within ferromagnetic material after the current that creates the field is turned off. There are two features of ferromagnetic materials that are important: -
• For permanent magnets it is desirable that the remanent field remains permanent throughout its operating environment. Temperature affects this, at temperatures above the Curie point the field disappears completely and near the Curie point the field degrades. “Hard” materials for permanent magnets have been developed to maximise their BR values and to have high Curie temperatures well above their operating environment, leading to magnets that hold their magnetization for tens of years or more.
• For transformer cores it is desirable to have zero remanent field. This is not achievable, but “soft” materials have been developed to have sufficiently small BR that the resultant area of their BH loop is small, thus minimising core losses. As these use alternating polarity fields the remanence alternates hence the any permanent nature of the field is of little consequence.
Throughout the years of power transformer development, it appears that no attention has been paid to materials that might exhibit semi-permanent magnetism, where the magnetism is ephemeral, presumably no one could see any practical use. Here the material is magnetized to a field BR with a current pulse, then with no further current input the field decays to zero. It is expected that this might happen at temperatures near the Curie point, so this feature would be a thermal effect. That this might happen at ambient temperature has not been a consideration, hence it appears no work has been carried out to achieve this. Until now!
The SEMP Research Institute is a South Korean Group that has a partnership with Global Solutions for Project Management in Abu Dhabi. Their AI Smart Electromagnetic Generator (AISEG) recently demonstrated at the COP28 Summit held in Dubai is claimed to have efficiency significantly greater than 100%, and a study of their patent applications reveal they use within their transformers a unique core material, pure iron that has undergone a special form of treatment. They claim that this treatment yields a demagnetization time can be as little as 1/450 seconds (2.22mS). They do not state how their system uses this feature, but further study of their patent applications shows that it relies on ephemeral remanence BR where the magnetic field decays naturally with that order of demagnetization time. A study of their waveforms reveal that the magnetizing is performed by narrow pulses of current at a pulse rate of 120 per second. Their over-unity efficiencies reach highest values at the narrowest pulse widths where they quote a 0.5% duty cycle. That is 41.7μS pulses repeated every 8.33mS. During the 8.29mS off-time a separate series of coils obtain induced voltage from the decaying magnetism that then feed current to the load. With their heat treatment process creating such short demagnetization times the field decay can be completed within the 8.29mS off-time ready for the next magnetizing pulse. During this time energy is being delivered to the load but no electrical energy is input. They alternate the magnetizing direction each 8.33mS so the output voltage waveforms appear as pseudo 60Hz AC. The question then remains, can energy in each output pulse exceed the initial input energy needed to magnetize the iron? The standard answer to this question given by most scientists is NO, Conservation of Energy (CoE) demands this. But during the output pulse Lenz’s Law tells you that the induced current is trying to stop the remanent BR decay, something at present unknown is causing that decay and that is the driving force for the output energy. Thus, that unknown driving force could be the source of excess energy, and when that source is considered CoE is satisfied. If the SEMP claims of efficiencies far exceeding 100% are true, then perhaps the answer to the above question is YES. This paper investigates this possibility.
It should be noted that ephemeral remanence (BR fields that decay naturally without any electrical stimulation) is an unknown feature of magnetism that is currently not taught or studied. One possibility is that this is a thermal phenomenon, thermal agitation of the atomic dipoles responsible for the magnetism causes them to lose their spatial alignment. If so, then excess energy could be received thermally, the system could extract heat energy from the environment, in effect acting as a heat pump. A magnetic refrigeration heat pump is a known process that currently uses exotic materials like gadolinium and praseodymium. Clearly iron is a much cheaper material for that use. The iron cores used in the SEMP system are not solid but are thin-walled tubes through which air is passed. Although they claim this is for cooling purposes it could equally be the opposite.
A second possibility is that the BR decay comes from quantum uncertainty disturbing the dipole alignments in which case energy is extracted from the aether in which everything lies. Until this ephemeral BR is investigated we will not know, but in view of the SEMP claims such investigations should take place.
