I suspect my experience growing up is why I never found alternative or free energy all that difficult. The notion of environmental energy was normal and natural to me from a young age.

That’s how things were done in the past, when there was no electricity. We burned wood, and the CO₂ was then absorbed by the trees again. A self-sustaining system – ‘how wonderful’, as environmentalists would say.
The problem is that none of this meets our needs today. What might work for a detached house becomes a huge challenge when it comes to city blocks and hundreds of thousands of people to power. And even if it did, we would still be a very, very long way from meeting our overall needs, particularly those linked to industrial production and transport.
Even renewable energy lacks the consistency required for our needs, and causes significant nuisance due to the low ratio of energy produced to the space and volume occupied. Realistically, the only options currently available are oil, gas and nuclear power. And barring a miracle in the realm of free energy, the best option for the near future is nuclear fusion. Hot.

"Researchers at ETH Zurich have achieved a breakthrough by creating a miniature superconducting magnet capable of generating a 42-tesla field, small enough to fit in a palm. This 42-tesla (42 T) magnet, composed of four REBCO pancake coils, significantly advances superconducting technology for NMR and MRI applications."

now connect it with Clemente Figuera patent and for me it looks like MW power plant is almost possible today without big input power.

Hej Forest,

The super magnet needs liquid helium and over 1000 Amper to get 42 Tesla, did you consider that?

It is surely an advancement in creating very strong magnetic fields though.

For others here, this is a description https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.adz5826

However, as with any superconducting electromagnet, the 1000A of current does not have to be continuously supplied from outside after it's ramped up. ...and this current does not run down so the electromagnet becomes self-powered and can by moved around as long as the LH stays cold.
In practice, the recondensing pump dissipates some energy to keep the LH liquid but that in not the electromagnet's fault. The heat used to boil the LH does not come from the magnet but from the air and ambient temperature. Thermal insulation is a big factor.

superconducting. hmm. ok. how much energy does it take to gather and compress the gas that cools the super conductor in order to hold currents indefinately?? seems like a lot to keep that going.

superconductors have their uses. but the cost is not a bargan in real world applications. i keep hearing of 'ideal' this and that. many say FE is fantasy land, but keep refering to super this and that, of which seems super costly for general use... Tesla im sure, if he had FE, did not require super anything. just simplistic materials configured in a correct way. that is what we need to work on.

lets say we could get a super conductor to have never ending currents. it is only stored energy that 'costs' to hold it. break that loop and apply it to a work load. not so ever lasting now is it. did it have more energy than what was applied in the first place, even if we neglected the energy to cool the thing? super conductors are useful for certain things. but there is no free energy there.

Yes, especially on the warm Earth. In space it would not cost anything to hold it.

Correct, once the loop is broken - so is the current.

No, what you get out is what you put in. Just like with a capacitor but by a different mechanism.

Certainly not by themselves.

He keeps re-building the same circuitry with "It'll work this time" hopium. Different coils, better diodes, higher spec transistors, better gate drivers, etc etc,... and now his bearings are done, so they need replacing. As I said, "circles". lol

I saw a few days video which I think present one of the simplest free energy device and IMHO it's real. The only thing which is missing is tank circuit on primary powered by any electronic resonant circuit. Primary must be high Q to get high COP at output:

It uses this Chinese miracle.

Even if you somehow learn the output voltage, frequency and current of this module, replicating that 12x8cm transformer-capacitor only with information about its wire gauges, is a shot in the dark.

Transformer-capacitor with 3 windings.

A similarly wound transformer-capacitor also appears in this article.

Also, that light bulb is not a resistive incandescent type like the symbol on the schematic implies. The accompanying text on the schematic clarifies this.
In the video, it appears as a cracked standard LED bulb tailored for a 240VAC mains supply, but the physics of LEDs requires them to be supplied with a much lower voltage ...and DC or PDC.
To satisfy this requirement, that LED light bulb must have some kind of 240VAC to low-voltage DC converter built-in. This converter will have a profound impact on the current flowing in the primary winding of the transformer-capacitor since that LED bulb is connected in series with it.

In the simplest case the converter is constructed as a simple capacitive divider with a rectifier.
In more complex solutions, the 240VAC is first rectified and then applied to a high-frequency buck-converter.
In the highest quality LED bulbs, an additional high-frequency PFC stage precedes the buck converter.

The first case severely distorts the current waveform coming out of the Chinese HV module and the two latter solutions modulate the primary current of the transformer-capacitor with undetermined high frequency harmonics.

How can a bloke who seems to have access to decent equipment be so incompetent that he makes so many crass, beginner’s mistakes?
For example, he denies that a circuit with a capacitor in series is a closed circuit for varying currents, not an open one! And he even uses this as a pretext to criticise the laws of physics.

Clearly, he only wants to see what suits him, and will therefore never manage to create a self-sustaining device, despite how easy it would be to do so if one were to believe the far-fetched and dubious principles he puts forward.

Maybe he does not believe in displacement current ...or has never heard of it ...or maybe you did not realize that this article has been machine translated from the russian language and in that language an open switch has 0Ω resistance and a closed switch has ∞ resistance (ideally).

Also he might have never heard of the variability of capacitance with voltage in non-ideal capacitors. ...and about inductive CSRs.

On the other hand: this video claims increasing battery voltage.

Russian transistors, too. Their collector and drain currents are the largest when the transistors are "open".

Oh!, you asked about "translator" - not "transistor". Yes, machine translators make that mistake all the time. Human translators, too.
It is not a matter of translating the individual words "open" and "closed" incorrectly. For example: the word "open" in a phrase like "open windows" has the same meaning in both Russian and English ...but in the phrase "open transistor" it has the opposite meaning.
These words acquire different meanings in electric contexts. Only a technical human translator or an AI translator would be able to account for this context.
