Included on the videotape of Searl's Munich lecture is a fascinating
description of the device's operation by its inventor. (This in
addition to the rather off-topic speech.) Although a terrible speaker,
I think I understand what he was saying, and I can perhaps take it even
a bit further.
He said that his device takes advantage of the property of rare-earth
elements to "gather more electrons than they need." He called his Searl
Effect Generator a "solid state device", and he seemed to be describing
the cooling and gravitational effects as occurring only at a threshhold
when his device was overloaded.
I did not get the impression that it was powered by ambient heat or
brownian motion at all. It seemed to be something quite different,
with the cooling being a secondary effect. It relies on a precise
geometry for the transfer of charges in their correct phases from the
rollers to the rings, but there's more to it than this.
He seemed to be describing an electron pump, systematically sucking the
electrons out of the center and pressing them toward the edge. He said
that at full speed, the rollers actually do not touch the rings. In
another discussion on the tape, he repeatedly referred to "condensation
of electrons."
The effects Searl describe strike many parallels in my mind with the
Sweet VTA. Specifically, I suspect the Searl device may also generate
"negative electricity". Like the Sweet VTA, the Searl Effect Generator
appears to be a "negentropic device". NEGATIVE ELECTRICITY resembles in
many respects the electric current we are all familiar with, but has
some very different and dangerous properties.
My own hypothesis regarding the nature of the negative electricity
reported by Sweet is that it is a flow of ordinary electrons, but with
simple difference, as I will describe. WHAT IF all of the "normal"
current we are familiar with has always been PUSHED through the
conductor, at an electronic pressure we call voltage. That would
explain why the electrons travel to the outside surface of the conductor
at the moment current begins to flow. Now WHAT IF the Sweet VTA and the
Searl Effect Generator PULL THE ELECTRONS through the conductors?
What if these devices "suck" the electrons out of one end of a conductor
at an electronic pressure which is LOWER than would normally be found in
the conductor at rest? I'd be willing to bet that this "negative
electricity" actually travels down the center of the conductor - not at
the surface.
Regarding thermal effects, when electrons are being PUSHED as in
conventional current, it makes intuitive sense that this would increase
the molecular velocity (temperature) of the conductor as the electrons
force their way through, imparting some of their kinetic energy to the
atoms though which they pass.
But if the electrons get PULLED through a conductor, perhaps the
opposite phenomenon happens. Perhaps the atoms get pulled in toward
each other, and perhaps the atoms even try to line up as the electrons
get pulled through them. As the atoms in the conductor slow down and
try to line up, the conductor naturally loses heat, as defined by a
reduced molecular velocity.
This is why a shock through the hand from a Sweet VTA device will freeze
your flesh. Quite simple!
As the atoms line up or decrease in velocity, you have removed entropy
from them. Interesting that Searl described his device as "cooperating
with nature", as opposed to conventional generators which "force
nature." He said his device facilitates a process that nature "wants to
do." Indeed, nature created our brains which also contain "negative
entropy" of another kind!

P.S. The above explanation of negative electricity is my original
explanation or theory which I have had for a while. Am I totally crazy
for publishing this? Perhaps, but I have more where that came from so
if anyone lands a Nobel Prize or commercializes this idea you have to
mention my name in a big way, okay? Have fun.
