The waveforms are formed, for example but not limited to, by a plurality of ridges (or protrusions or rising waveforms), grooves, and depressions (or descending waveforms) in the waveform surface including the features having different heights and/or depths compared to other features and/or along the individual features. In some embodiments, the height in the vertical axis and/or the depth measured along a radius of the disk chambers vary along a radius as illustrated, for example, in FIG. 6D. In some embodiments, the waveforms are implemented as ridges that have different waveforms for each side (or face) of the ridge. In this disclosure, waveform patterns (or geometries) are a set of waveforms on one disk surface. Neighboring rotor and/or disk surfaces have matching waveform patterns that form a channel running from the expansion chamber to the periphery of the disks. In this disclosure, matching waveforms include complimentary waveforms, mirroring geometries that include cavities and other beneficial geometric features. U.S. Pat. App. No. 13/213,452 (U.S. Pat.

B. Overview

[0026] The present invention, in at least one embodiment, provides a highly efficient system and method for processing fluid to harness the energy contained in the fluid and the environment and/or to dissociate elements of the fluid. In order to accomplish the results provided herein, in at least one embodiment the present invention utilizes rotating hyperbolic waveform structures and dynamics. More particularly, in at least one embodiment, the system of the present invention is capable of producing very strong field energy at ambient temperatures while using relatively minimal input electrical energy to provide rotational movement to the waveform disks. As will be more fully developed in this disclosure, the waveform patterns on facing disk surfaces form chambers (or passageways) for fluid to travel through including towards the periphery and/or center while being exposed to a variety of pressure zones that, for example, compress, expand and/or change direction and/or rotation of the fluid particles.

[0027] FIG. 1 illustrates a block diagram according to at least one embodiment. The illustrated system includes a plurality of drive systems 300 for rotating and/or controlling the speed of rotation of different components, at least two disk-pack turbines 250 capable of rotation in opposite directions from each other, at least two magnet platter and coil platter pairs 500/510, a plurality of flux returns 700 positioned along a central axis of the system. In at least one embodiment, each of the disk-pack turbines 250 and magnet plates 500 are driven by dedicated drive systems. In at least one embodiment, the disk- pack turbines are rotated from the same motor and obtain the counter rotation from, for example, a conical drive gear or similar gearing, while the magnet plates have their respective rotation rates control independently by separate drive systems. In at least one embodiment, the magnet plates are able to rotate in conjunction with the driveshaft driving the matched disk-pack turbine or to rotate through magnetic induction. In further embodiments to the embodiments of this paragraph, the system further includes housing and/or frame components on which to position the various components.

C. Example Embodiment

[0028] FIG. 2 illustrates a cross-section view of an example embodiment having the components illustrated in FIG. 1 and is configured to generate electricity through the two coil platters 3, 36 and the two magnet platters 6,16 working in conjunction with the two disk-pack turbines 3, 35. The illustrated system includes three drive systems 8, 18, 38 with a first drive system 38 controlling the rotation of the two disk- pack turbines 3, 35 through a pair of driveshafts 31 , 37 connected by a counter rotation gear 10 such as a conical drive gear that allows the driveshafts 31 , 37 to rotate in opposite directions. The other two drive systems 8, 18 rotate the magnet platters 6, 16, which rotations occur independent of the first drive system 38. As the disk-pack turbines 3, 35 and magnet platters 6, 16 rotate a diamagnetic field is established that creates electrical current within the coils present in or on the coil platters 3, 36.

[0029] The illustrated system includes a base 50 housing the two lower drive systems 18, 38 and providing support on which the risers 2 extend up from, and the risers 2 provide support for a system cover 21. Although the system is illustrated as being an open system, in at least one alternative embodiment the system is enclosed within a housing between the base 50 and the cover 21 .

[0030] In the illustrated embodiment, the system is divided into two parts with support plates 9, 32 along with the counter rotation gear 10 defining the middle point. Each part includes an inner driveshaft 31 , 37 that engages the disk-pack turbine 3, 35, a second outer driveshaft (and/or bearing body) 28, 39 that engages a magnet platter 6, 16 with rotation controlled by a drive system 8, 18, a stationary coil platter 4, 36 located between the respective disk-pack turbine and magnet platter.

[0031] The drive systems 8, 18, 38 are illustrated as motors driving a belt that in turn rotates a driveshaft and/or controls the speed at which a driveshaft rotates. Examples of motors for use in at least one embodiment include pulley motors, DC motors and inverter motors, which are an example of a motor that can be used to control the speed of the magnet platters to maintain a desired rotation speed (or RPM) by every spinning faster or providing a brake to the rotation of the magnet platter. The bearing bodies 28, 39 fit around the inner driveshaft 31 , 37 with bearings in place between the bearing body and the respective driveshaft to allow them to rotate independent of each other. The illustrated magnet platters 6, 16 include a bearing ring between them and the driveshaft 31 , 37 or alternatively a hole through which the respective driveshaft passes. The illustrated system further includes a support shaft 19 passing through an opening, lined with a bearing, through the system lid 21 to axially center the system components within the risers 2. In an alternative embodiment, the drive system includes a belt that is connected to the component to be rotated, which then would use a common driveshaft to provide the axis of rotation but not provide rotational movement (see, e.g., FIG. 3 showing four drive systems 300A, 300B, 300C, 300D spaced around the outside of the system). Based on this disclosure, it should be understood that in an alternative embodiment the first drive system is placed on top of the system and drives downward.

[0032] The disk-pack turbines 3, 35 in at least one embodiment include at least two waveform members (for example, rotors and/or disk(s)) that provide at least two opposing surfaces having a waveform pattern with the opposing surfaces mating together to define a disk chamber between them that provides a passageway from the axial center to the periphery. In an alternative embodiment, the number of waveform members is one. The illustrated disk-pack turbines include rotors and/or disks that have an opening passing therethrough in the axial center with the openings together defining an expansion chamber. In at least one embodiment, the disk-pack turbine includes a center disk that is nested within the disk-pack turbine in a manner in which the center disk can vibrate during operation in at least one embodiment from the impellers used proximate to the expansion chamber opening. In at least one embodiment, the waveforms are nested waveforms that progress from the expansion chamber out with the inner waveform having four cycles and each waveform after that increasing in the number of cycles by 2 to provide 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128. In at least one embodiment, the waveforms are nesting sinuous waves. Once nested, the relative waveform relationships result in a doubling of wave iterations to effectively number 16, 32, 64, 128, and 256. Relative to peaks and troughs, these numbers are again doubled. In at least one example, the number of peaks for each level of waveforms progressing out from the center increases, which in a further example includes a multiplier selected from a range of 2 to 8 and more particularly in at least one embodiment is 2. In at least one embodiment, the number of peaks for each level of waveforms progressing out from the center stays the same or increases by a multiplier. In at least one embodiment, the multiplier is selected to amplify and compound internal and external energy interactions and production.

[0033] In a further embodiment for an embodiment using a pair of rotors in the disk-pack turbine, the rotors each have a waveform pattern on at least part of the surface opposite where the disk is attached to the rotor. In a further embodiment where there are no rotors present, the outside disks in stack include a waveform pattern on at least part of their exposed surface. The waveform pattern in at least one embodiment is substantially an exact reverse representation (or mirror image) of the waveform pattern present on the face facing the neighboring disk. An example of a mirror image is that if there is a protrusion on the inner surface then there is a matching protrusion on the outer surface.

[0034] In at least one embodiment, the magnet platters include a plurality of magnetic areas and/or magnets that are spaced from each other such that multiple phases of electricity can be produced by the coils present in the coil platter. In an alternative embodiment, at least one magnet platter includes a magnet ring with multiple polarity regions on it such as at least one of North-South alternating regions or North/South areas spaced apart. In a further embodiment, the poles (or magnetic regions/areas) are divided into alternating quarters, sixths, eighths, etc. In a still further embodiment, the poles are divided by small gaps of non-magnetic material. An example of a useful ration is to have 8 magnets to 12 coils to provide for 3 phase power. In at least one embodiment, the coils have a triangular shape that defines a triangle opening whose size is used to cast a magnet to be of substantially the same size as the triangle opening. In at least one further embodiment, the coils are configured to have the outside leg of the coil extend out beyond where the disk-pack turbine periphery is located. The coil platters 4, 15 are stationary and include in at least one embodiment an opening through which a driveshaft and bearing passes through so that the disk-pack turbine is supported at least in part by the coil platter. In a further embodiment to the embodiments in this paragraph, the magnet platters have magnets and/or magnetic areas of just one pole, for example, all North or all South. In a further embodiment, one magnet platter has all North and the other magnet platter has all South.

[0035] The illustrated system also includes a lower support plate 32 that has an axially center opening passing through it where the opening is lined with a bearing that engages the lower inner driveshaft that engages the counter rotation gear 10. The lower support plate 32 supports the dual conical drive assembly 33 that is part of the counter rotation gear 10. The middle support plate 9 provides additional support for the counter rotation transmission mount along with the drive system 8. The upper support plate 29 includes an opening passing through it where the opening is lined with a bearing that engages the upper driveshaft 31 and the support plate 29 provides support for the bearing assembly 28 that is rotated by the drive system 8 and rotates the magnet platter 6.

[0036] FIG. 2 also illustrates an example arrangement for flux returns. There are two illustrated examples in each part of the system. The upper flux returns are illustrated as having a stack containing a copper plate 12, 25, a bismuth plate 13, 24, a mild steel plate 12, 23, and non-magnetic (or non- conducting) support plate 1 1 , 22 such as Plexiglas or G-10 that sits above the disk-pack turbine to provide some rigidity to the upper flux return. In at least one embodiment, the upper flux return is stationary and held in place by mounting brackets like 26. The lower flux return is a mild steel plate 7, 17 that functions in at least one embodiment as a magnetic flux concentrator and return that is attached to the bottom of a respective magnet platter. In an alternative embodiment, the lower flux return is spaced from the bottom of the magnet platter. In further alternative embodiments, the metals used and their arrangement or omission is changed from that of the example such as bismuth could be used in place of the steel in the lower flux returns.

[0037] The flux returns in at least one embodiment restrain the magnetic fields and concentrate the magnetic flux created by the disk-pack turbines and increase the flux density on the magnet platters and coils platters. Examples of materials that can be used for the flux return include but are not limited to iron, steel, bismuth, and copper. In a further embodiment, the flux return includes a plurality of disks (or plates or laminated layers) where each disk is selected from a group including iron, steel, bismuth, and copper resulting in a combination of material being used in any order. In a further embodiment, at least one flux return includes iron and/or steel. In at least one embodiment, the lower flux returns are sized to match the outer diameter of the outer edge of the magnets on the magnet platter. In a further embodiment, at least one disk of the flux return is attached to the disk-pack turbine. In a further embodiment, at least one disk of the flux return is spaced from the disk-pack turbine in a housing or on a shelf. In a further embodiment to the other embodiments in this paragraph, the flux return is combined with flux containment structure to include or incorporate a housing that shrouds the top and sides of the disk-pack turbine. Examples of shapes for the housing include bell, cylindrical, and conical. In at least one further embodiment to the embodiments in this paragraph, the flux return is used also as a shield against the diamagnetic fields extending out from the system.

[0038] In a further embodiment to the above embodiments, flux field generators include a flux containment structure 740 around a generation system 90 as illustrated in FIG. 4A to provide a means of collecting and harnessing for application and/or utilization the profound additional environmental electrical fields, voltages and dramatic currents/field amperage (for example, collectors 750) as well as in further embodiments the collection of any fluid components that manifest as a result of the power generation processes. The illustrated collectors 750 include a plurality of fins 752 that extend perpendicularly away from a base 754. In at least one embodiment, the collectors are electrically isolated from the wall (or other support structure). In a further embodiment, a containment area is defined by a cylindrical containment wall 740 (although the wall may take a variety of other forms) and a flux return (not illustrated in FIG. 4A). In a further embodiment, these components include steel and/or iron to restrain the produced magnetic fields within the defined containment area. The use of the containment components allow for passive generation of what is substantially identified as DC power from a non-power flux field generator where, for example, an external power source would stimulate the flow of field energy through the collectors.

[0039] In a further alternative embodiment, the wall and the frame are combined together where the wall provides the vertical and/or horizontal stabilization of the system. In a further embodiment, the frame extends up from the wall to engage with the centering support member, which in at least one embodiment is incorporated into (or as a part of) the flux return. In yet another embodiment, the wall is within a space defined by the frame.

[0040] During testing of the collector concept, six collectors were attached to the frame that included six vertical support members (or risers) around the prototype disk-pack turbine. The collectors provided DC power for use by DC electrical devices or for converting to AC power. Each collector was attached to an output of a coil or phase, which in at least one embodiment occurred through a diode orientated to provide current flow from the coil to the collector, to simulate the flow of field energy through each collector. The outputs of at least some of the collectors were attached to a respective DC electrical device that was connected to ground and in parallel with a capacitor enabling the flow of electrical energy to the respective DC electrical device, and the outputs were capable of powering the attached DC electrical devices. In at least one embodiment, the voltage values from the collectors are much higher than the AC voltage used to stimulate the collector based on voltage meter readings.

[0041] FIGs. 4B and 4C illustrate two views of an alternative collector 750A that includes sine waveforms, which in at least one embodiment are replaced with the hyperbolic waveforms discussed in this disclosure providing a smooth face as opposed to the illustrated fin pattern. The illustrated collector 750A includes a plurality of fins 752A attached to a base 754, which then is attached to a support or wall as discussed above in connection to collector 750.

[0042] Based on the above discussion regarding collectors, it should be understood that the number of collectors and the density of fins and/or waveforms present on individual collectors may vary from that illustrated in FIGs. 4A-4C. Furthermore, the fin and/or waveform pattern may have a variety of orientations on the base along with the base being placed in a variety of orientations while having the base be substantially parallel to a vertical plane passing through the center of the system when the system is in a vertical orientation. In a further alternative embodiment, the wall and/or collector is a retrofit component to waveform turbine (e.g., disk-pack turbine) systems such as those disclosed in this disclosure.

[0043] FIG. 2 also illustrates optional air intakes 1 , 5, 15, 34 as part of the disk-pack turbine and optional air intake 27, 27 for the magnet platter. In at least one embodiment, the various air intakes provide an entry and/or exit point for air to travel to provide cooling if necessary to the system. In a further embodiment, the disk-pack turbine uses the air intakes to provide potential charging media to flow through the disk chambers.

[0044] In an alternative embodiment to any of the above embodiments, at least one set of coil and magnet platters are omitted from the system. In another alternative embodiment to any of the above embodiments, the various example support structure components can take a variety of forms while still providing the described functional support for system components.

D. Examples of Waveform Disks

[0045] The previously described waveforms and the one illustrated in FIGs. 5B and 5C are examples of the possibilities for their structure. The waveform patterns increase the surface area in which the charging media and fields pass over and through during operation of the system. It is believed the increased surface area as alluded to earlier in this disclosure provides an area in which the environmental fields in the atmosphere are screened in such a way as to provide a magnetic field in the presence of a magnet. This is even true when the waveform disk is stationary and a magnet is passed over its surface (either the waveform side or back side of the waveform disk), and the ebbs and flow of the magnetic field track the waveform patterns on the disk, manifesting in at least one embodiment as strong, geometric eddy currents/geometric molasses.

[0046] FIGs. 5A-5C illustrates an example of a small biaxial configuration for the disk-pack turbine, which includes an upper rotor 264A and a lower rotor 266A, was sufficient to establish repeatable, verifiable dissociation achieved through hyperbolic rotary motion alone. FIG. 5A illustrates the top of the disk-pack turbine 250A, FIG. 5B illustrates the bottom face of the upper rotor 264A, and FIG. 5C illustrates the top face of the lower rotor 266A. The illustrated waveform pattern includes a sinusoidal ridge 2642A and a circular ridge 2646A. The lower rotor 266A includes a circular outer face ridge 2668A. Also, illustrated is an example of mounting holes 2502A for assembling the disk-pack turbine 250A. In an alternative embodiment, the wave patterns are switched between the upper rotor 264A and the bottom rotor 266A. Stoichiometric gas concentrations capable of sustaining flame were achieved through broad variations in systemic configuration and operating conditions.

[0047] The previously described waveforms and the one illustrated in FIGs. 5B and 5C are examples of the possibilities for their structure. The waveform patterns increase the surface area in which the charging media and fields pass over and through during operation of the system. It is believed the increased surface area as alluded to earlier in this disclosure provides an area in which the environmental fields in the atmosphere are screened in such a way as to provide a magnetic field in the presence of a magnet. This is even true when the waveform disk is stationary and a magnet is passed over its surface (either the waveform side or back side of the waveform disk), and the ebbs and flow of the magnetic field track the waveform patterns on the disk, manifesting in at least one embodiment as strong, geometric eddy currents/geometric molasses.

[0048] FIGs. 6A-6D illustrate a pair of waveform disks that can be mated together with a pair of rotors. The illustrated waveform disks are depicted in FIG. 14. FIG. 6A illustrates the top of a disk-pack turbine 250E with a top rotor 264E with an opening into the expansion chamber 2522E. FIGs. 6B and 6C illustrate a pair of mated disks for use in power generation according to the invention. The disks are considered to be mated because they fit together as depicted in FIG. 6D, because a disk channel (or chamber) 262E is formed between them while allowing fluid to pass between the disks 260E. FIG. 6D illustrates an example of the mated disks 260E placed between a top rotor 264E and a bottom rotor 266E with bolts attaching the components together around the periphery such as through ears 2602E. The bolts in at least one embodiment pass through a nylon (or similar material) tube and the spacers are nylon rings. Based on this disclosure, it should be understood that at least one rotor could be integrally manufactured with at least one waveform disk.

[0049] As discussed above, the waveform disks include a plurality of radii, grooves and ridges that in most examples are complimentary to each other when present on opposing surfaces. In at least one example, the height in the vertical axis and/or the depth measured along a radius of the disk chambers vary along a radius as illustrated, for example, in FIG. 6D. In at least one example, when a disk surface with the waveforms on it is viewed looking towards the waveforms, the waveforms take a variety of shapes that radiate from the opening that passes through (or the ridge feature on) the disk. In at least one example, the number of peaks for each level of waveforms progressing out from the center increases, which in a further example includes a multiplier selected from a range of 2 to 8 and more particularly in at least one embodiment is 2. In at least one embodiment, the number of peaks for each level of waveforms progressing out from the center stays the same or increases by a multiplier. In at least one embodiment, the multiplier is selected to amplify and compound internal and external energy interactions and production.

[0050] FIGs. 7A-7E illustrate a variety of additional waveform examples. The illustrated plates include two different waveforms. The first waveform is a circular waveform 2646G in the center and around the periphery. The second waveform 2642G is a biaxial, sinucircular, progressive waveform located between the two sets of circular waveforms. The illustrated disks mate together to form the disk channels 262G that extend out from the expansion chamber 252G discussed previously. Each of the disks includes a plurality of assembly flanges 2629G for mounting impellers between the disks.

[0054] FIG. 10 illustrates another example of a disk-pack turbine 250I with a top rotor 264I, a disk 260I, and a bottom rotor 266I.

In at least one embodiment, the waveforms are incorporated into one or more rotors instead of having the rotors nest a disk.

[0059] In a further embodiment, the orientation of the system is reversed where the motor and the driveshaft are above the disk pack turbine or there is a horizontal alignment. Based on this disclosure, it should be understood other orientations are possible with, for example, the axial center being angled relative to the horizon (or a horizontal plane).

E. Testing Information

[0060] The diamagnetic fields utilized for electrical power generation make it possible to orient all magnets within the magnet arrays to North, South, or in a customary North/South alternating configuration. When all North or South facing magnets are configured in relation to the diamagnetic rotor fields, voltages and frequencies realized are extremely high. With all North or South magnet orientation the diamagnetism, which is both North and South magnetic loops, provides the opposite polarity for the generation of AC electricity. By configuring the system with alternating magnetic polarities and minor power output conditioning, it has been possible to practically divide the output values and bring the voltages and frequencies into useful ranges. As an example, measuring combined upper coil array only, output values of 900 volts at 60HZ with a rotor speed of 1200 RPM are typical. A disadvantage to this configuration is that there is a reduction in overall electrical energy output. Based on research, it is believed the magnetic fluxes behave like gasses/fluids and can act as such. The addition/intake/dissociation of air and other ambient influences adds significantly to the process; however, with the presence of magnetic fields interacting with the hyperbolic waveform structures alone, it is believed that both exotic, magnetic phenomena as well as electricity are generated. It is believed it would be impossible to be generating these profound diamagnetic fields without also simultaneously generating corresponding electrical currents. As soon as a magnet, even handheld, is introduced above the disk surface and the diamagnetic repellent effect is felt, electrical current is being produced, thereby creating the diamagnetic phenomena.

[0061] The test device mentioned above built to test principles relating to the technology and to gather data regarding its operation. The test device included a three phase arrangement of nine coils, three coils per phase using 16 gauge copper magnet wire with 140 turns and six magnets (three North and three South magnets alternating with each other) above the disk-pack turbine and coils. On the bottom side of the disk-pack turbine there is a four phase arrangement of 12 coils, three coils per phase using 18 gauge copper magnet wire with 260 turns and six magnets. Based on this disclosure, it should be appreciated that the gauge and material of the wire and the number of turns and of coils can be modified and that the above descriptions are examples. The disk-pack turbine was assembled with two pairs of mated disks between the top rotor and the bottom rotor as illustrated, for example, in FIG. 16. In this particular configuration the two top waveform disks were made of aluminum and the bottom two waveform disks were made of brass. It has been found that alternating brass and aluminum disks, as opposed to nesting like disks results in significantly higher magnetic and electrical values being produced. In further testing when copper is used in place of brass, the voltages have stayed substantially equal, but a much higher current has been produced. After one testing session, it was discovered that the brass disks were not electrically isolated from each other and there was still excess electrical power generated compared to the power required to run the motor. The feed tube (or intake chamber) in at least one embodiment is made of brass and/or non-magnetic stainless steel and electrically isolated from the aluminum rotor face through use of a non-conductive isolation ring, which also is present between the two mated disk pairs. The system was connected to a motor via a belt.

[0062] The lower magnet disk rotated with the disk-pack turbine while the upper magnet disk was magnetically coupled to the waveform disks. One way to illustrate the results will be to use classic power generation formulas. One of the greatest points of interest is that, even though there is, mathematically speaking, production of very high power readings as relates to watts, there is very little discernible heat generated through the process as a result of negligible resistance resulting from the diamagnetic fields, and this phenomenon extends to devices connected and driven by this electricity, such as multiple three- phase high voltage electric motors. An example is prior to starting the system, ambient temperatures for the induction coils and other associated devices were about 82° Fahrenheit. After running the system for in excess of one hour, the temperature rise was as little as two or three degrees and, at times, the temperature has been found to actually fall slightly. The temperature measured at the core of the waveform rotor when measured always has dropped a few degrees over time. The temperature of a three phase electric motor connected to the output will generally remain within one or two degrees of coil temperature. The three phases of the upper generating assembly were measured with each phase was producing approximately 200 volts at 875 RPM. Based on measurements, each of the three coil sets in the three-phase system measure out at 1.8 ohms. Divide 200 volts from one phase by 1.8 ohms equals about 1 1 1.1 1 Amps. The amperage of 1 1 1.1 1 Amps is multiplied by 200 volts multiplied by 1 .732 (root mean square (RMS) factor for AC power) multiplied by cosine/Power Factor, which is usually around 1 , divided by 1000 to obtain about 38.485 kW. The motor powering the system was drawing approximately 10.5 Amps with a line voltage of 230 volts, which yields 2,415 Watts being consumed by the motor to produce this output of about 38 kW. Similar phenomena have been observed when the AC power produced by the system is rectified into DC power and supplied to a DC load.

[0063] When the top magnet disk was locked with the waveform disks such that they rotate together as driven by the drive system, the process was repeated. The upper coil array produced about 540 Volts peak-to-peak between the three phases (or about 180 Volts per phase) and about 100 Amps for a power generation using the formula from the prior paragraph of about 31 kW. With regard to the lower generator, the math is actually quite different because there is a higher coil set resistance of approximately 3.7 Ohms per coil set of three coils (four phases). Each phase was producing 120 Volts peak-to-peak, which is using a simplified approach of voltage squared divided by resistance results in almost 3.9 kW per phase. Testing has found that diamagnetic energy will really start to rise at 1700 RPM and up as do the corresponding electrical outputs. The coils in these sets after further use have had their resistance lowered to negligible levels when read with an ohm meter.

[0064] Changing the material used for the intake chamber in the built system from D2 steel to brass improved the strength of the diamagnetic field and resulting power generation by approximately 30%.

[0065] In further testing, the power generated by the system was provided to a plurality of motors including two 1 HP direct current motors (operating at 1750 RPM) and four inductance motors producing 0.5 HP, 0.5 HP, 1 HP, and 2 HP (all operating at 1725 RPM), respectively, plus 4500 W of power being used together by three tea pots filled with water. It has been observed that these motors when operated at room temperature have a negligible heat production on the order of less than five degrees Fahrenheit. That when temperature readings are taken of the coils inside the inductance motors, there is negligible temperature differential from room temperature. The motors have been run for over an hour unloaded with no heat build up on the motors or the internal coils. It is anticipated that power generated by the system fed into a power generator will result in minimal environmental heating by the power generator, and more particularly for the coils present at the receiving end of the power generator (i.e., the input end for receiving electricity from the electrical generator).

[0066] In further testing with a test bed system illustrated in FIG. 1 1 , a battery bank was added to the system to receive a portion of the electricity produced by the system and to also provide electrical power to the motor driving the test bed system. It was found that the power into the battery bank was greater than the power being drawn by the motor running the system even when a load described in the prior paragraph was being run by the test bed system. During additional experiments placing different loads on the system has also resulted in an increase in the stored voltage in the battery bank.

[0067] FIG. 1 1 illustrates how power may be pulled from the flux field generator 85 with a coil array having three AC phases and a magnet plate and how the power may be conditioned for storage in a battery bank 87', which in turn is able to power the DC motor M that is used to rotate the disk-pack turbine in the flux field generator 85. In the built test bed, the motor M drove the disk-pack turbine through a mechanical linkage that included a belt. The illustrated example of the test bed includes a battery bank 87', which could be a capacitor bank instead or in addition, a DC motor M, a three phase rectifier 50 such as a full wave bridge rectifier in parallel with a capacitor C1 , and a pair of rheostats R1 , R2. The flux field generator 85 was configured to provide a three phase output to the rectifier 50 that than produced a DC signal that passed through the rheostat R1 , which allowed for control of the voltage provided for battery charging, to the battery bank 87', which in the test bed included twelve 12-volt batteries connected in series and in another test bed included twelve sets of three 12-volt batteries in parallel to the other batteries in the set. Based on this disclosure, it should be appreciated that the battery bank could take a variety of configurations. The battery bank 87' was connected to the negative terminal of the motor M and the rectifier 50. The positive terminal of the battery bank 87' connected to the positive terminal of the motor M through a rheostat R2, which provided motor speed control. The various illustrated diodes D and capacitors C1 , C2 are provided for illustration purposes and may be adjusted while still having the overall function of the circuit provided and in at least one embodiment capacitors are placed in series prior to the motor M and/or the battery bank 87'.

[0068] The use of a flux return made from bismuth, copper, iron, or steel or a combination of these has resulted in a reorientation of the fields produced by the flux field generator. In at least one further embodiment, the flux return includes at least steel or iron

[0069] For example, a one-eighth inch thick bismuth plate was placed above the disk-pack turbine on a Plexiglas shelf. The plate had sufficient diameter to cover the waveform geometries present in the disk-pack turbine. The push and torque forces felt when placing a magnet over the disk-pack turbine were redirected to the sides of the disk-pack turbine to increase the diamagnetic field to the periphery while substantially blocking the diamagnetic field above the bismuth plate. In addition, measured amperages at the bottom edge of the disk-pack turbine and in the environment around the disk-pack turbine increased. When the bismuth plate was attached with adhesive tape to the top of the disk-pack turbine, there were similar or better results obtained, but interestingly the bismuth was still and exhibited no signs of being impacted by the diamagnetic fields being redirected and/or shaped.

[0070] Another example is that when a copper plate was placed into the system above the disk- pack turbine, the field effect around the periphery and below the disk-pack turbine increased by approximately 25%. When a bismuth and/or steel plate were added, there was still an increase. Both the bismuth and copper plates when used individually cause an increase in the diamagnetic fields being projected laterally from the disk-pack turbine with a very good combination being to use a copper plate and a bismuth plate above the disk-pack turbine.
