Hi all,
Finsrud's machine is a nice toy, even if it is over-unity, what use
could it ever be?
I have been searching through other peoples designs for years, some seem
very promising, but as yet I haven't found a machine that holds up to
scrutiny. There is one machine that sticks in my mind though, the Ecklin
stationary armature generator.

I also found a more comprehensive site with better drawings of later and
improved designs, but alas, I forgot the site name, so this will have to
do.
I have been trying to fix on a design to build, I have spent a fortune on
all shapes and sizes of neodymium iron boron magnets, I have access to all
manner of cnc machine tools, welding sets etc. All I need now is an idea
worthy of my effort.
If you have been dwelling on an Idea you think might have potential,
but you don't have the time, resources, or enthusiasm to make it real, then
share.

thank you for your indulgence,
later people,
Ardvark. ( WITH ONE
'A' ) [:~)>

Somebody said it couldn't be done but he, with a chuckle, replied, that
maybe it couldn't but he would be one that wouldn't say so till he tried.
So he buckled right in, with a trace of a grin - on his face (if he worried
he hid it). And he started to sing as he tackled the thing that couldn't
be done - and he did it! : )
