ZapPulsed Motor/Generators
8 devicesBedini SSG Motor/Energizer
John Bedini
A monopole pulse-motor/energizer using a rotor with permanent magnets passing by a bifilar coil, triggering transistor-based pulse charging of secondary batteries. The high-voltage back-EMF spikes ('radiant energy') from collapsing magnetic fields are directed into a charging battery through a diode. Primarily explored for battery desulfation and rejuvenation of dead lead-acid batteries. Battery desulfation is a real, documented electrochemical phenomenon.
Adams Motor/Generator
Robert Adams
A pulsed permanent magnet motor/generator that uses precisely-timed short electrical pulses to energize stator coils as rotor magnets align. Rotation is primarily driven by permanent magnet attraction to the stator's iron cores. Electrical pulses serve to cancel the 'back-drag' that would normally slow the rotor, and the flyback energy from the collapsing field is recovered to recharge the source battery.
Edwin Gray EMA Motor
Edwin V. Gray Sr.
An electric engine using pulsed high-voltage capacitor discharges through a specialized Conversion Switching Element Tube (CSET) to drive electromagnets. Peter Lindemann's analysis identifies this as 'splitting the positive' — the process of shocking high-voltage capacitors to release 'cold electricity' that performs work without conventional heat losses.
Jim Murray Dynaflux Alternator
Jim Murray
Uses a unique armature design forcing magnetic flux to move parallel to the rotation axis (not perpendicular), reducing back-EMF and Lenz's Law resistance. The Transforming Generator produces square-wave outputs with claimed significant power gains.
Thane Heins Perepiteia/ReGenX
Thane Heins
A generator that demonstrates 'regenerative acceleration under load' — the motor speeds up when the generator is loaded, rather than slowing down as expected. Demonstrated at MIT in 2008 to Professor Markus Zahn, who called the motor acceleration under load 'unusual' but did NOT endorse overunity. Uses bi-toroidal or ReGenX coil configurations.

RotateCwFlywheel & Mechanical Systems
6 devicesChas Campbell Flywheel Generator
Chas Campbell
A mains motor drives a gear train connected to a heavy flywheel, which in turn drives an electrical generator.

This allegedly extracts gravitational energy per Lawrence Tseung's 'Lead-Out Energy' theory.
Lawrence Tseung Pulsed Rotor (COP=3.3)
Lawrence Tseung
An electrically pulsed rotor/flywheel that demonstrated COP of 3.3 at a public demonstration in October 2009.
