@citfta , dear Carroll,

Reply to message #488
Thank you for pointing this out.
This is a very important clarification, and I am glad you raised it.

You are absolutely right: although aluminum is non-ferrous, it is electrically conductive, and in the presence of a changing magnetic field it will support eddy (induction) currents.
Those currents can lead to localized heating, losses, and in some cases mechanical expansion, all of which are undesirable in this type of device.

In fact, your comment made me immediately re-evaluate my own setup, because I currently have aluminum washers placed between all the  secondary coils. Given the rapidly changing magnetic environment in that region, those Aluminuim washers could indeed be acting as shorted turns or partial flux dampers, reducing efficiency and possibly introducing thermal or stability issues.

This reinforces why using true non-conductive, non-ferrous materials (such as POM, nylon, fiberglass, or similar engineering plastics) is the safest approach for the inner supports, spacers, and clamp brackets located within active field regions.

I appreciate you sharing this warning, it is not always obvious to builders that non-ferrous does not automatically mean magnetically "invisible" in a dynamic field environment. This will certainly help others avoid the same potential mistake.

LOOKING AT THE 'BIG PICTURE'...

Hello All,

I wanted to make this post in order to help  understand what we are doing here...and what it is about.

I wanted to make sure we understand THIS TOPIC IS NOT JUST ABOUT A NEW TYPE OF 'SPECIFIC MACHINE' which spec's can not be changed....as we need to keep constrained by its design...NOPE!

The success of this LINEAR GENERATOR will open many other possibilities of newer structural designs, newer sequences, newer configurations...

THIS DEVELOPMENT IS ABOUT A NEW METHODOLOGY, A NEW TECHNOLOGY - IN GENERAL- ABOUT GENERATING POWER WITHOUT THE NEED TO PHYSICALLY MOVE ABSOLUTELY ANY PHYSICAL MASS

This Linear Machine would help us to fix errors, to correct mistakes as to make it to perform better and better.

This LINEAR MACHINE, I have designed it AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE, to help understand from a very reduced configuration, how this Method works.

The Geometries that it could develop into are ENDLESS...NOT only consisting on a Linear, back and forth sequence...but more complex movements through Spacetime of the Magnetic Field SPECTRUM.

So, this LINEAR MACHINE is just a PROTOTYPE which will advance into more and more designs...Look at it as a 'MODULAR AND FLEXIBLE' Structure, which we could be able to shape and form as we wish to.

As it is also SCALABLE into ANY SIZE, from very small to MEGA SIZES, depending on the amount of Power you are looking for as your demand (as your possibilities) depend upon...

However, once this Machine is working as expected, after all corrections and functions are running beautiful...then we will know we are on the right track to the INFINITE ENERGY MACHINES

Dear friend, Ufopolitics,

It gives much more context about the vision behind your project, and I want to respond in a way that is respectful to your enthusiasm and grounded in engineering reality, which is essential if you want to actually build something that works.

I break my response into two parts:

What in your concept is technically plausible?

Where we need clarity so the project does not go down the "free-energy / impossible physics" pathway.

1. What IS realistic and possible in your idea.

What you describe touches on several real, well-understood engineering domains:

• Solid-State electromagnetic generation
It is possible to generate electrical power or induce EMF without moving mechanical parts, using:
switched magnetic fields
time-varying flux
MOSFET-driven coils
resonant magnetic structures
induction, transformers, and flyback converters
magnetically modulated energy transfer
switched-reluctance field control
linear oscillating magnetic systems.

All of these are real, and are used in industry.

Your idea of a Solid-State Linear Magnetic Machine (SSLMM) fits into this general umbrella.

Nothing about "a coil + controlled magnetic fields + MOSFET switching = induced voltage" contradicts physics.
That's exactly how many modern devices work.

So yes, creating a Solid-State, fully electronic generator or actuator is absolutely possible... as long as energy conservation is respected.

2. Where your description becomes scientifically unclear.

You use phrases like:
"A new methodology... generating power without moving any physical mass"

Important correction:

If magnetic fields are being changed, switched, or moved in time, energy is being moved.

The coils, cores, electrons, and driver electronics are physical mass.

Electromagnetic generation always obeys:

Energy out ≤ Energy in −losses
Energy out≤Energy in−losses.

If by "without moving mass" you mean:
no mechanical rotors, pistons, or linear actuators → correct

all motion is electromagnetic → correct

power appears from "infinite" or "unknown" sources → this is NOT physically possible!

So if your intention is not to violate conservation of energy, then your concept remains in the domain of plausible Solid-State electromechanical engineering.

But if the expectation is:

"Once this machine works... we are on the right track to the INFINITE."

then I need to be absolutely clear:

Physics does NOT allow infinite energy output from finite inputs.

You can create a highly efficient Solid-State generator, but not a "free energy" device!

3. What could your "linear machine" actually be?

Based on your description, your design could be interpreted as:

A magnetically driven linear induction machine using MOSFET sequencing
Similar in principle to:

linear motors / maglev drives
switched reluctance actuators
audio coil actuators
linear alternators in Stirling engines
flux-switching generators
parametric magnetic excitation
or even induction heating with controlled magnetic propagation.

These all use:

time-varying fields
coil sequencing
MOSFET control
magnetic flux manipulation.

And these work reliably, efficiently, and without mechanical motion.

So your idea can be made real if it fits within normal electromagnetics.

4. What you should clarify for your team and for yourself.

If your project is to succeed, you need to define:

Where the input energy comes from.
Is it electrical? Magnetic? Capacitive? External?

What mechanism induces usable output power
Faraday induction? Parametric excitation? Flux-switching?

What principle prevents the system from collapsing into losses.
Heat, core saturation, MOSFET limits, back-EMF, coil resistance etc.

Without these answers, the project risks drifting into unfalsifiable claims.

5. The GOOD news:
Your enthusiasm and conceptual direction are not inherently wrong.

A modular, scalable, solid-state magnetic generator that uses:

AC-driven coils
controlled field propagation
MOSFET switching sequences
linear or multi-axis geometries
no moving mechanical parts
...is 100% feasible.

But its performance will always obey:
Maxwell's equations
energy conservation
efficiency limits
thermal limits
material saturation
switching losses.

If you work within physics, you can create something innovative and powerful.

If you work outside physics, the project will never converge, no matter how much creativity or passion you add.

Greetings, Alex

Hello dear friend @kampen,

Your post is very important, as it requests my -detailed- position related to this Methodology/ Technology, generally speaking, based on "The Figuera Method".
As my answer here will help to clarify, even further about this Project main purpose.

Before entering into "Technicalities", I would like to recall some facts...

I would NOT be creating a whole Forum Website called "Over Unity Machines", and be going through so much work, thousande of hours, which involves so much time and development in order to:

1- Make just another "Highly Efficient" Transformer...or Generator, which stays within the realms of our "typical" machines behavior, which you could go out and buy it anywhere.

2- Build another Machine, which fulfils "another existing Machine" method, except with better "features" or better "Performance".

Now...about Technicalities:

This Method is STRICTLY BASED on Faraday's Induction Law, However, since this Law divides into TWO PARTS:

1- Motional EMF
2- Transformer EMF

As both above are based on the same Formula:

𝜉 = −𝑁 𝛥𝛷𝐵/𝛥𝑡

Where the induced voltage (𝜉) is equal to 'N' (number of conductor turns) times 𝛥𝛷 (Flux Change, variation) of the Magnetic Field (B), Divided by Time Variation (𝛥𝑡)

Now in Motional EMF, we need a Physical Movement of either the conductor or the Field (B) over a change of time (𝛥𝑡)
As in Transformer EMF, all we need is a variation of the Field (B) which is understood it will also cause a variation of its Flux (𝛷)...while there is NO Physical Movement required. Example: Transformers.

In more simple terms, these Two types of Induction are generally described as:

1- Motional EMF= Flux Cutting (Rotary Generators)
2- Transformer EMF= Flux Linking (Transformers)

Now, as we all know, Transformers works, basically, with an Alternated Current [AC] (Varying Current) based on a Sinewave over Time, where Input Energy flows from a High Side (+) Sine to a Low Side (-) Sine, passing by Zero.
This is what creates the "Moving Field Effect" and more realistically by REVERSING the Field on every Full Frequency, Full Sinewave, which reverts the currents from High (+) to Low (-).
And this constantly Reversing Field generates an Output on a Secondary winding within the same CLOSED Steel Core.

And, related to this Method of this Linear Generator, the description above DOES NOT FIT AT ALL, with this Technology:

1- I am NOT using an Alternated Current (AC) as Input to my Exciter Coils, therefore:
2- I am NOT REVERSING the Field in any point in Time.
3- I am NOT COLLAPSING (or dropping to Zero) the Field at any time

This Technology can ONLY FIT with the Motional EMF and Flux Cutting Law...except that:

1- I am NOT moving any Physical Mass, and yes, referring specifically to: ROTORS which carry "the conductor(s)" which generate the Inducing Field (B) plus the Massive Steel Core(s)
2- This Method/Technology adds a New Component to this Equation: 'Spacetime' and yes, as a single component, NOT divided by, nor separated.

Therefore, Field (B) moves through 'spacetime' without the need to move the conductor, nor the rotor steel mass, to generate an Induction on the Secondary Windings.

Spacetime is a component which uses within Two Parameters: Space (volume & distance) and Time (Frequency) but as a whole parameter.

So, when we say our Field (B) moves through 'Spacetime' it means it displaces using these two parameters (space & time) at UNISON (including both).

In this New Technology/Method, the Inducing/Exciter Field (B) does NOT REVERSE its Magnetic Polarities NOR it Changes its Strength during the operation of this Machine(s).

This Technology/Method ONLY moves the Field (B) through 'Spacetime', preserving its properties fixed as is Field strength and Field Magnetic orientation) without any variation during the Induction process.

This Method does NOT strictly requires MOSFETS to drive the Field through 'Spacetime':

1- It can use the Original Patented Method conceived by Clemente Figuera, back in 1908, based on Mechanical Rotary Conmutation.
2- It also could use Relays, Electronic or Mechanical.
3-It could use Bipolar Switching System. (also based on FET's)

Concluding, that what makes this System to work properly, is NOT BASED ON ITS DRIVERS, (it could be any of the above) but on its Method to make Field (B) travel through Spacetime, without varying any of this Field (B) Specification's.

Whichever Driver we use will yield the same results, as long as it allows to reach the required frequencies without 'dropping' the Field (collapsing: allowing Field to go to Zero) at ANY Point on its 'Spacetime Travel' function.

Now, driving this Field(B) through 'Spacetime' does NOT necessarily needs to be done in a LINEAR Fashion.

1- Field could also be moved through 'spacetime' in a Rotary Fashion.
2- Or Field could be moved following 'irregular patterns' like complex 3D Movements through a 3D 'spacetime displacement'.

It is VERY IMPORTANT to understand that whenever I say "moving the Field (B) through 'spacetime'" I am referring specifically to the MAGNETIC FIELD SPECTRUM. NOT MOVING ALONG ANY OF ITS MASS/ PHYSICAL COMPONENTS THAT GENERATE IT, like Coils or Steel Cores....just "the Field (B)"

Now, I hope this post -so far- have cleared some doubts about understanding this Method/Technology, as being able to differentiate from other existing appliances as are Transformers and Rotary Generators.

Where this Energy comes from?

It comes exactly the same way as it comes out of a Rotary Generator Head, which does not require a battery to start generating, nor any external input power of any kind.
It just requires to "spin/rotate" the Induced Magnetic Field ASSEMBLED into a Massive Steel Mass wound with Massive wire Coils and attached to a SHAFT to the ICE Machine, as 'Prime Mover'.

The ONLY difference from above type of Rotary Generator related to my Tech/Method, is that I displace through 'spacetime' the Inducing Magnetic Field without moving the components that generated it, or the steel core and windings...
And NOPE, I do not need an ICE Engine to be added here...So, ALL the LOSSES applied to the ICE Machine to simply rotate the Generator Head Shaft... could be "added" to the Output as GAINS and not "losses" to the System Performance.
Will this make a difference? (Not to require an ICE)...
I believe so, as the "losses" from an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) are simply EXCESSIVELY HUGE!! compared to its simple job: Rotate the Magnetic Field.
Please, do the simple Math...taking off the ICE (and its Losses) from a Rotary Generator Head, and still make it to generate the SAME amount of Energy as if it had the ICE...
and NOT requiring to rotate that shaft...

Hi All,

Now, below is just a simple graphic as an example about my Quoted Post above...


Of course that this operation to Replace the ICE by a simpler Driver to Displace, Move the Magnetic Field does not takes place as simple as that image shows...
Of course we will have to MODIFY that Generator Head in order to use another Field Driver, whether it is a Mechanical Rotary Switch Commutator, or a Solid State Driver.

Hello Alex,

I wonder if you managed to make any tests of the machine or if you plan to do it any time soon ? I guess if you respect the principle described by ufopolitics this test can be conclusive regardless of any conclusions expressed here.

It seems that you are trying to derail the experiment/test before showing the real test ... just what I have expected to be honest.

Just me reading out load from Notes of N Tesla about unipolar generator: "when the speed of spinning disc is increased Eddy currents start to reverse their direction and becomes negative" ... in this case you are increasing the frequency. When Eddy currents become negative, magnetic field induced will be reversed accordingly ... and any drain will occur in the same direction without any opposition ... in other words Lenz law will have a positive influence, impedance/resistance drops and only ohmic resistance will exist.

If anyone is curious to see the effect of increased speed and changing direction I can refer to few experiments showing clear this effect. One only needs to accept what is the medium that will intermediate such effect even electric charges start to spin.

Accordingly, without the huge losses from a kinetic input or ICE engine, any amplification of the input will result in net output gain.

The clue given up by Figuera stand out: the induced MUST not see the inducer, and modulation of magnetic field is done by manipulating resistance. Inductance must take place in one way ONLY, to avoid Lenz law.

So, let see the run test and make up our minds AFTER, please.


Also, I noticed some extensive and intensive use of AI from you Alex here and on other forums, is this text quoted here generated by such usage ?
