Overview
Claims to generate electricity from Earth's magnetic field through resonance using basket-weave coils with internal capacitors and a permanent magnet 'buzzer' regulator. Based on 1920s radio technology.
⚖️ What Would Convince Us?
To validate the anomalies claimed for this device under mainstream scientific parameters, builders and inventors must document and present evidence satisfying the following criteria:
Independent load test demonstrating power draw without hidden batteries
Calibration of magnetic buzzer switching transients
Replicability of exact coil geometries by external teams
Investigation & Credibility Metrics
Derived historical books, catalog indexes, or compiled archives.
Claimed overunity/propulsion has not been verified in a control lab.
Multiple builders completed attempts and reported zero success.
Simple multimeters used. Subject to power-factor or ground-loop errors.
This device is purely open-source or historical; no active sales.
Community Status
Pre-WWII fame. Charles Lindbergh reportedly witnessed a demonstration. 1928 media sensation. No verified successful replication in 100+ years.
