**The Overlooked Source of Unlimited
Electrical Energy**  
**by William Barbat,   
President and Chief Scientist, Levitronics, Inc.**

  
Low Mass Electrons (LMEs) produce greater inductive energy
output than their kinetic energy input, and most conduction
electrons of semiconductors and superconductors possess this
subnormal mass. Physicists prefer to assume an unforgivable
reversal of entropy (which violates a Law of Physics) so they
can claim that this extra energy comes from lattice
vibrations. With the lattice vibration excuse, the
less-than-normal mass of these special conduction electrons
can be treated as imaginary, so it is referred to as effective
mass, meaning it looks like a lower mass.  
  
Because LMEs accelerate faster than normal electrons, they
radiate extra energy from any acceleration they receive.
Larmor (1) showed that photon energy radiates from a moving
charge in proportion to the square of its acceleration.
Superconductors, with an electron mass 1/10,000 that of normal
electrons (2) are accelerated 10,000 times faster than normal,
so the centripetal acceleration of a supercurrent around a
closed superconducting coil gives off a calculated 10,000 X
10,000 = 100,000,000 times more energy (acceleration squared)
than is used to charge up the supercurrent .  
  
This calculation accurately predicts the magnitude of the
energy magnification obtained in an astounding experiment at
Princeton University (3). A supercurrent that took about 4
hours to charge up was projected by computer to take 130,000
years to decline exponentially from a calculated 46 amps to 16
amps. As expected, this discharge is about 100,000,000 times
longer than the charging time. Left to discharge completely
without any other energy needed to sustain cryogenic
temperatures (as in outer space), the supercurrent would
radiate a calculated 2.8 billion joules from a 4-hour
charging.  
  
Levitronics recognizes this as newly created energy, not
energy from lattice vibrations. The Berlin Physical Society
had rejected the 18th-century law of conservation of energy
(4) as metaphysics when it was misapplied to inductive and
magnetic energy. But two important principles had been clearly
described and then violated by that author, Hermann Helmholtz:  
  
If a resulting force is not not directly opposed to its
causative force, then force can be gained ad infinitum under
proper conditions (p. 12 of translation);  
  
When more force is produced in one direction than another, a
portion of that force can be used to sustain the original
force and the remainder can be put to useful purposes
perpetually (p. 7 of translation).  
An unlimited source of cheap electric energy can be developed
by these established principles, but mankind has been kept in
the Dark Ages by later scientists who were not familiar with
the whole treatise. A careful reading of Helmholtz's paper
shows he mistakenly included inductive and magnetic energy
with faulty assumptions and a disregard for works by Ampere
and Faraday.  
  
This overlooked energy source can be harnessed by knowing that
inductive energy is not conveyed by magnetic lines of force
but by directional photon energy, as in radio broadcasting and
receiving. If the Princeton experiment had produced an
oscillating output, it could have been transformed directly
into electric power, as in a common transformer. The practical
conversion of oscillating LME energy had been discovered
serendipitously nearly a century ago, but no one could explain
why it worked before Levitronics.  
  
German engineer, E.Leimer (5), discovered that he could
magnify the energy of an oscillating electric current in his
crystal radio receiver by ionizing LMEs in a cupric oxide
coating on wire with alpha radiation from radium. By feeding
back a portion of the magnified electrical output from that
experiment, a Seattle youth produced a continuous oscilllating
electric current in a small fuelless generating device with no
moving parts that lit a 20-watt light bulb in 1919 (6). A
Physics Professor from Seattle College confirmed that this was
not a hoax or a storage device, but he did not know why it
worked (7).  
  
The generator had certain flat wire coils that could be
insulated only with enamel, which would have allowed alpha
radiation to pass through. The central coil acted as a sending
antenna, the flat-wire windings of the surrounding eight coils
were irradiated to magnify the inductive energy as in Leimers
receiving antenna, and the coils nested inside the wide-wire
coils acted as a secondary of a transformer to convert the
magnified oscillating electric energy into an output of more
energy than the input.  
  
In 1920 by an astounding continuous electrical power output
from a 1.0 cubic foot fuelless generator ran a 35-hp electric
motor boat at 8-10 knots. The event was reliably witnessed,
photographed, and published in a respected newspaper (8).The
generator output meaured 330 amps at 125 volts (25 kWe),
enough current to overheat the wires and cause shut-downs for
cooling. The boat demonstration lasted several hours and
created a sensation (9). In comparison the 300 kg of lithium
ion cells in the the $57,000 Tesla Model-S auto would have run
down in only 100 minutes.  
  
The Seattle Post Intelligencer (10) editorialized:  
  
    "The energy produced could have driven an
automobile at moderate speed; it could have illuminated an
office building; furnished heat and light for a large
residence, or it could have heated seven two-room apartments.
And so far as anybody could see the energy came from the air,
or the earth.  
  
    "The possibility that the current came from
storage batteries or from an existing power circuit appeared
to be out of the question, since the observers prudently
looked into that phase of the matter. There were no hidden
wires or any indication that the energy came from a source
other than the Hubbard coil."  
  
Due to high cost and scarcity of radium, the generator
technology was abandoned in 1922 . Ten milligrams of radium
cost more than a new automobile in the 1920s, and the world's
entire 250 gram supply of radium would have supplied only a
fraction of a year's auto production.  
  
In 1928, Lester Hendershot of Pittsburgh duplicated Hubbard's
generator and flew a model airplane (11), which impressed
William B Stout, designer of the Ford Trimotor airplane. Col.
Chas. A. Lindbergh of the U.S. Air Corps was also convinced of
this fuelless generator (12), but the technology was abandoned
again because it was too expensive. Later, when the price of
radium dropped, copper wire was produced shiny without the CuO
coating. Since no one realized that CuO had been essential to
the energy magnification, attempts in 1963 to replicate the
generator were doomed to failure.  
Levitronics Energy Technology  
  
Today no radionuclide provider will sell a radium source large
enough to retest Hubbard's device because the radon emanations
from radium-226, which carry all the alpha energy, are
considered too hazardous. Levitronics' technology utilizes
semiconductors and superconductors as a source of LMEs so no
radioactive source is needed. The inductive energy magnifying
factor is the same for semiconductors as for a superconductor,  
  
(Inductive Energy Magnification Factor) = 1/(electron mass)2.  
  
A high power-to-weight ratio similar to the 1920 boat
demonstration is indicated for LME generators made with a
semiconductor having a high Energy Magnification Factor. Such
a generator could outcompete petroleum for all forms of
transportation including propellor aircraft. A self-generator
utilizing Lead Sulfide, with electron mass 0.16 times normal
and a calculated inductive energy magnification factor of 39X,
could theoretically power the world's one billion autos using
less lead than is found in lead-acid batteries.
Self-generators employing silicon might power all the world's
homes and industries, and offer low-cost desalinization.  
  
A self-generator is relatively simple in design, but it
requires special laboratory facilities to make polycrystalline
coatings of desired semiconductors. that can conduct large
currents of LMEs. Levitronics seeks both laboratories and
capital to test a relatively simple self-sustaining generator
powered by the common photoconductor, cadmium sulfide, which
has a calculated inductive energy magnification factor of 37X.

**Self-Sustaining Electric-Power Generator
Utilizing Electrons of Low Inertial Mass to Magnify
Inductive Energy**

**William N. BARBAT**

**Abstract**

Electrical oscillations in a metallic "sending coil" radiate
inductive photons toward one or more "energy-magnifying coils"
comprised of a photoconductor or doped semiconductor coating a
metallic conductor, or comprised of a superconductor. Electrons
of low inertial mass in the energy-magnifying coil(s) receive
from the sending coil a transverse force having no in-line
backforce, which exempts this force from the energy-conservation
rule. The low-mass electrons in the energy-magnifying coil(s)
receive increased acceleration proportional to normal electron
mass divided by the lesser mass. Secondarily radiated
inductive-photon energy is magnified proportionally to the
electrons' greater acceleration, squared. E.g., the
inductive-energy-magnification factor of CdSe photoelectrons
with 0.13.times. normal electron mass is 59.times.. Magnified
inductive-photon energy from the energy-magnifying coil(s)
induces oscillating electric energy in one or more metallic
"output coil(s)." The electric energy output exceeds energy
input if more of the magnified photon-induction energy is
directed toward the output coil(s) than is directed as a counter
force to the sending coil. After an external energy source
initiates the oscillations, feedback from the generated surplus
energy makes the device a self-sustaining generator of electric
power for useful purposes.

***Description***

**CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION**

[0001] This application corresponds to, and claims the benefit
under 35 U.S.C. .sctn.119(e), of U.S. Provisional application
No. 60/697,729, filed on Jul. 8, 2005, incorporated herein by
reference in its entirety.

**FIELD**

[0002] This disclosure introduces a technical field in which
practical electrical energy is created in accordance with the
overlooked exception to the energy-conservation rule that Herman
von Helmholtz described in his 1847 doctrine on energy
conservation: "If . . . bodies possess forces which depend upon
time and velocity, or which act in directions other than lines
which unite each pair of material points, . . . then
combinations of such bodies are possible in which force may be
either lost or gained ad infinitum." A transverse inductive
force qualifies for Helmholtz's ad infinitum rule, but this
force is not sufficient of itself to cause a greater energy
output than input when applied to electrons of normal mass due
to their unique charge-to-mass ratio. However, the increased
acceleration of conduction electrons of less-than-normal
inertial mass, as occurs in photoconductors, doped
semiconductors, and superconductors, is proportional to the
normal electron mass divided by the low electron mass, and the
magnification of harnessable inductive energy is proportional to
the greater relative acceleration, squared.

**BACKGROUND**

[0003] Magnetic force also satisfies Helmholtz's exemption to
the energy-conservation rule because magnetic force is
transverse to the force that causes it, and magnetic force is
determined by the "relative velocity" (i.e., perpendicular to
the connecting line) between electric charges. Magnification of
magnetic force and energy was demonstrated by E. Leimer (1915)
in the coil of a speaker phone and in the coil of a galvanometer
when he irradiated a radio antenna-wire with radium. A
10-milligram, linear radium source produced a measured 2.6-fold
increase in electrical current in the antenna-wire in comparing
inaudible radio reception without radium to audible reception
with radium. This represented a (2.6).sup.2=7.times. increase in
electrical energy flowing through the respective wire coils. The
possibility of this enhanced reception being attributed to a
person's body holding the unit of radium to the wire was
eliminated by Leimer's additional observation that, whenever the
orientation of the small radium unit was changed to
approximately 30 degrees relative to the wire, the energy
enhancement ceased.

[0004] Applicant has deduced that Leimer's energy magnification
most likely was due to low-mass electrons that were liberated
and made conductive in the antenna by alpha radiation, which
allowed these special electrons to be given a
greater-than-normal acceleration by the received radio-broadcast
photons. Applicant has further deduced that such low-mass
electrons must have originated in a thin-film coating of cupric
oxide (CuO) on the antenna wire. CuO is a dull-black,
polycrystalline, semiconducting compound that develops in situ
on copper and bronze wire in the course of annealing the wire in
the presence of air. Such CuO coatings have been observed by
Applicant on historical laboratory wire at the Science Museum at
Oxford University, U.K., and on copper house wire of that era in
the U.S., indicating that CuO coatings were commonplace. In
later years, annealing has taken place under conditions that
prevent most oxidation. This is followed by acid treatment to
remove any remaining oxides, leaving shiny wire.

[0005] The same year that the English translation of Leimer's
paper appeared in Scientific American, 16-year old Alfred M.
Hubbard of Seattle, Wash., reportedly invented a fuelless
generator, which he later admitted employed radium. Applicant
interprets this as implying that Leimer's energy-magnification
was utilized by Hubbard with feedback to make it
self-sustaining. Three years later Hubbard publicly demonstrated
a relatively advanced fuelless generator that illuminated a
20-watt incandescent bulb (Anon. 1919a). A reputable physics
professor from Seattle College, who was intimately familiar with
Hubbard's device (but not at liberty to disclose its
construction details), vouched for the integrity of the fuelless
generator and declared that it was not a storage device, but he
did not know why it worked (Anon. 1919b). Because Hubbard
initially had no financial means of his own, it is likely the
professor had provided Hubbard with the use of the expensive
radium initially and thereby witnessed the inventing process in
his own laboratory.

[0006] Newspaper photos (Anon. 1920a) of a more impressive
demonstration of Hubbard's fuelless generator show a device
described as 14 inches (36 cm) long and 11 inches (28 cm) in
diameter connected by four heavy electrical cables to a
35-horsepower (26 kW) electric motor. The motor reportedly
propelled an 18-foot open launch around a lake at a speed of 8
to 10 knots (Anon. 1920b). The event was witnessed by a cautious
news reporter who claims to have checked thoroughly for any
wires that might have been connected to hidden batteries by
lifting the device and motor from the boat. Radioactive-decay
energy can be eliminated as the main power source because about
10.sup.8 times more radium than the entire world's supply would
have been needed to equal Hubbard's reported electric energy
output of 330 amperes and 124 volts.

[0007] Lester J. Hendershot of Pittsburgh, Pa., reportedly
demonstrated a fuelless generator in 1928 that was claimed by
Hubbard to be a copy of his own device (1928h). The president of
Stout Air Services, William B. Stout, who also designed the Ford
Trimotor airplane, reported (1928b): "The demonstration was very
impressive. It was actually uncanny . . . . The small model
appeared to operate exactly as Hendershot explained it did."
Also reportedly attesting to the operability of Hendershot's
fuelless generator were Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and Major
Thomas Lanphier of the U.S. Air Corps (1928a, et seq.), and
Lanphier's troops reportedly assembled a working model of the
device.

[0008] To the Applicant's best knowledge, the only depiction
that was made public of the interior components of any of these
reported generators consists of a sketchy drawing (Bermann
1928h) of Hubbard's apparatus similar in size to the device
shown in his 1919 demonstration. It depicts a complex set of
parallel coils measuring 6 inches (15 cm) in length and 4.5
inches (11.4 cm) overall in diameter. Four leads of insulated
wire with the insulation peeled back are shown coming out of the
end of the device. What those four wires were connected to
internally was not shown. Hubbard's description of the internal
arrangement of coils in the device generally matches the drawing
(Anon. 1920a): "It is made up of a group of eight
electro-magnets, each with primary and secondary windings of
copper wire, which are arranged around a large steel core. The
core likewise has a single winding. About the entire group of
cells is a secondary winding." Nothing was reported or depicted
about how components functioned with each other, or how much
radium was used and where the radium was positioned. The only
connectors visible on the drawing were between the outer
windings of the eight electromagnet coils. Theses connectors
show that the direction of the windings alternated between
clockwise and counterclockwise on adjacent coils, so that the
polarity of each electromagnet would have been opposite to that
of its adjacent neighbors.

[0009] If the Hubbard and Hendershot devices actually operated
as reported, they apparently never attained acceptance or
commercial success. Assuming the devices actually worked, their
lack of success may have largely been financially based or
supply-based, or both, compounded with skepticism from believers
in the universal energy-conservation doctrine. How much radium
was employed by Hubbard in his larger generator can only be
guessed at, but assuming a typical laboratory radium needle
containing 10 milligrams of radium was used, this amount would
have cost $900 in 1920, dropping to $500 in 1929. That much
radium in a fuelless generator would have cost as much as an
inexpensive automobile in the 1920s. Possibly much more radium
was used than 10 milligrams.

[0010] In 1922, when the Radium Company of America of
Pittsburgh, Pa., reportedly discontinued its work with Hubbard
on his invention (1928h), the entire world's supply of radium
was only about 250 grams. With the extreme assumption that only
1 milligram of radium was needed per generator, less than 10
percent of a single year's production of autos in the U.S. in
the mid-1920s could have been supplied with such generators.
Apparently Hendershot had tried to revive the technology by
showing that the fuelless generator could extend the range of
air flight indefinitely, but his technology never attracted a
sponsor from any private, public or philanthropic entity.

[0011] U.S. Pat. No. 4,835,433 to Brown superficially resembles
the drawing of Hubbard's device. Brown's device appears to have
the same number and essentially the same general arrangement of
wire coils as Hubbard's generator, as nearly as can be
understood from the newspaper articles depicting that device.
Apparently no information concerning either the Hubbard or
Hendershot devices was considered during prosecution of the '433
patent. Brown discusses the conversion of energy of radioactive
decay products, principally alpha emissions, to electrical
energy by amplifying electrical oscillations in a high-Q L-C
circuit irradiated by radioactive materials. "During the
absorption process, each alpha particle will collide with one or
more atoms in the conductor knocking electrons from their orbits
and imparting some kinetic energy to the electrons in the
conductor thereby increasing its conductivity." (Col. 3, line 68
to col. 4, line 5.) No claim was made by Brown that the device
employed a semiconductor or photoconductor that could have
provided low-mass electrons for energy magnification.

[0012] Brown claimed an output of 23 amps at 400 volts, which
is vastly greater than all the decay-energy represented by his
reported radioactive content of 1 milligram of radium that was
surrounded by weakly radioactive uranium rods and thorium
powder. Powdered thorium is highly pyrophoric, so it is
typically sealed in a nitrogen atmosphere to prevent spontaneous
combustion. In his device Brown reportedly confined the thorium
in cardboard without any mention of sealing out air. This
condition would have invited a meltdown that could have been
misinterpreted as massive out-of-control electrical production.

[0013] To the best of the Applicant's knowledge, and as noted,
none of the devices summarized above ever was commercially
accepted or exploited for any of various possible reasons. To
the Applicant's best knowledge, no person other than the
Applicant has ever indicated that the presence of cupric oxide
on their wires could have provided energy magnification. If
Hubbard's device actually did work, certain characteristics of
its design are unexplainable by the Applicant, namely the use of
four rather than two large electrical cables to connect his
device to an electric motor, and the use of alternating polarity
instead of single-direction polarity in the orientation of the
multiple coils surrounding a central coil. Applicant therefore
believes that the specification herein sets forth original
configurations of electrical-energy generators that have no
known precedent.

**SUMMARY**

[0014] To address the needs for electrical generators that are
capable of self-generating substantial amounts of electrical
power in various environments, and that are portable as well as
stationary, apparatus and methods are provided for magnifying an
electrical input, and (with feedback) for generating usable
electrical power indefinitely without fuel or other external
energy source except for starting. The apparatus utilize
electrons of low effective mass, which receive greater
acceleration than normal electrons in an amount that is
inversely proportional to the effective mass. Applicant has
determined that effective mass is the same as the electron's
true inertial mass. The photon energy that is radiated when an
electron is accelerated is proportional the square of the
acceleration, so the increase in radiated photon energy from an
accelerated low-mass electron over the energy from a normal
electron is equal to the inverse square of the effective mass.
E.g., the calculated energy magnification provided by
photoconducting electrons in cadmium selenide, with an electron
effective mass of 0.13, is 59.times.. The use of a transverse
force, that lacks a direct back-force, to accelerate low-mass
electrons in an oscillating manner circumvents any
equal-and-opposite force that would invoke the application of
the energy-conservation law of kinetics and thermodynamics.

[0015] The various embodiments of the apparatus, which are
configured either to magnify continuously an input of
oscillating electric energy, or to serve as a self-sustaining
electric generator, employ three principal components: at least
one sending coil; at least one energy-magnifying coil comprising
a material that produces, in a "condition," low-mass electrons;
and at least one output coil. The apparatus desirably also
includes means for establishing the condition with respect to
the energy-magnifying coil(s). Except where otherwise indicated
in the remainder of this text, where the number of coils of a
particular type is referred to in the singular, it will be
understood that a plurality of coils of the respective type
alternatively can be utilized.

[0016] Electrical oscillation in the sending coil, which is
comprised of a metallic conductor, causes radiation of inductive
photons from the sending coil. The energy-magnifying coil is
situated relative to the sending coil to receive inductive
photons from the sending coil. The inductive photons radiating
from electrical oscillations in the sending coil convey a
transverse force to the low-mass electrons in the
energy-magnifying coil with no direct back-force on the sending
coil. The greater-than-normal accelerations that are produced in
the low-mass electrons of the energy-magnifying coil produce
greater irradiation energy of inductive photons than normal.

[0017] The output coil is situated to receive the magnified
inductive-photon energy from the energy-magnifying coil. The
inductive-photon energy received by the output coil, which is
comprised of a metallic conductor, is converted into an
oscillating electrical current of normal electrons. In order for
the electrical output to exceed the electrical input, the output
coil is situated in such a manner that it receives more of the
magnified inductive-photon energy than that which is directed
back against the sending coil to act as a back-force. This
"energy leverage" causes the electrical energy output to exceed
the input.

[0018] By way of example, the energy-magnifying coil can
comprise a superconducting material, wherein the "condition" is
a temperature (e.g., a cryogenic temperature) at which the
superconducting material exhibits superconducting behavior
characterized by production of low-mass electrons. By way of
another example, the energy-magnifying coil can comprise a
photoconductive material, wherein the "condition" is a situation
in which the photoconductive material is illuminated by a
wavelength of photon radiation sufficient to cause the
photoconductive material of the energy-magnifying coil to
produce conduction electrons having low effective mass. In this
latter example, the means for establishing the condition can
comprise a photoconduction exciter (e.g., one or more LEDs)
situated and configured to illuminate the photoconductive
material of the energy-magnifying coil with the wavelength of
photon radiation. By way of yet another example, the "condition"
is the presence of a particular dopant in a semiconductor that
provides a low-mass electron as a charge carrier. Also by way of
example, the energy-magnifying coil can comprise a
semiconductive element or compound that has been doped with a
particular element or compound that makes it conductive of
low-mass electrons without illumination by photon radiation
other than by ambient photons.

[0019] Various apparatus embodiments comprise different
respective numbers and arrangements of the principal components.
The various embodiments additionally can comprise one or more of
circuitry, energizers, shielding, and other components to
fulfill the object of providing a self-sustaining source of
electrical power for useful purposes.

[0020] Also provided are methods for generating an electrical
current. In an embodiment of such a method a first coil is
energized with an electrical oscillation sufficient to cause the
first coil to radiate inductive photons. At least some of the
radiated inductive photons from the first coil, called a sending
coil, are received by a second coil, called the
energy-magnifying coil, comprising a material that produces
low-mass electrons. The received inductive photons impart
respective transverse forces to the low-mass electrons that
cause the low-mass electrons to experience accelerations in the
material that are greater than accelerations that otherwise
would be experienced by normal free electrons experiencing the
transverse forces. Conduction of the accelerated low-mass
electrons in the second coil causes the second coil to produce a
magnified inductive force. The magnified inductive force is
received by a third coil so as to cause the third coil to
produce an oscillating electrical output of normal conduction
electrons that has greater energy than the initial oscillation.
A portion of the oscillating electrical output is directed as
feed-back from the third coil to the sending coil so as to
provide the electrical oscillation to the sending coil. This
portion of the oscillating electrical current directed to the
sending coil desirably is sufficient to cause self-sustaining
generation of inductive photons by the first coil without an
external energy source. The surplus oscillating electrical
output from the third coil can be directed to a work loop.

[0021] The method further can comprise the step of starting the
energization of the first coil to commence generation of the
oscillating electrical output. This "starting" step can comprise
momentarily exposing the first coil to an external oscillating
inductive force or to an external magnetic force that initiates
an electrical pulse, for example.

[0022] The foregoing and additional features and advantages of
the invention will be more readily apparent from the following
detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the

**DETAILED DESCRIPTION**

***General Technical Considerations***

[0038] An understanding of how infinite energy mistakenly came
to be rejected by the scientific community clarifies the basis
of this invention. The electrodynamic function described in the
embodiments described later below conforms to Helmholtz's
alternate energy rule, which states that a force that is not
in-line with its causative force "may be either lost or gained
ad infinitum." This rule was included in "Uber die Erhaltung der
Kraft" ("On the Conservation of Force") that Hermann Helmholtz
delivered to the Physical Society of Berlin in 1847. But,
Helmholtz mistakenly believed that "all actions in nature are
reducible to forces of attraction and repulsion, the intensity
of forces depending solely upon the distances between points
involved . . . [so i]t is impossible to obtain an unlimited
amount of force capable of doing work as the result of any
combination whatsoever of natural objects."

[0039] Helmholtz refused to accept the idea that magnetic
energy qualifies for ad infinitum status despite the fact that
Ampere's (1820) magnetic force on parallel straight conductors
is obviously transverse to the direction of the electric
currents rather than being in-line with the currents. He omitted
mention that the magnetic force in Ampere's (1825) important
invention, the solenoidal electromagnet, is caused by currents
in the loops of his coils, which are transverse to the direction
of magnetic force. Also, he failed to mention that Ampere
considered the magnetic force of a permanent magnet to be caused
by minute transverse circular currents, which are now recognized
as electrons that spin and orbit transversely.

[0040] Helmholtz, who was educated as a military medical doctor
without any formal study of physics, relied instead on an
obsolete metaphysical explanation of magnetic force: "Magnetic
attraction may be deduced completely from the assumption of two
fluids which attract or repel in the inverse ratio of the square
of their distance . . . . It is known that the external effects
of a magnet can always be represented by a certain distribution
of the magnetic fluids on its surface." Without departing from
this belief in magnetic fluids, Helmholtz cited Wilhelm Weber's
(1846) similarly wrong interpretation that magnetic and
inductive forces are directed in the same line as that between
the moving electric charges that cause the forces.

[0041] Weber had thought that he could unify Coulombic,
magnetic, and inductive forces in a single, simple equation, but
Weber's flawed magnetic-force term leads to the absurd
conclusion that a steady current in a straight wire induces a
steady electric current in a parallel wire. Also, a changing
current does not induce an electromotive force in-line with the
current, as Weber's equation showed. The induced force is offset
instead, which becomes more apparent the further that two
nested, coaxial coils are separated. What appears to be a
directly opposing backforce is actually a reciprocal inductive
force.

[0042] Helmholtz's assertion that the total sum of the energy
in the universe is a fixed amount that is immutable in quantity
from eternity to eternity appealed to his young friends. But,
the elder scientists of the Physical Society of Berlin declared
his paper to be "fantastical speculation" and a "hazardous leap
into very speculative metaphysics," so it was rejected for
publication in Annalen der Physik. Rather than accept this
rejection constructively, Helmholtz found a printer willing to
help him self-publish his work. Helmholtz headed the publication
with a statement that his paper had been read before the
Society, but he disingenuously withheld mention of its outright
rejection. Unwary readers have since received the wrong
impression that his universal energy-conservation rule had
received the Society's endorsement rather than its censure.

[0043] Helmholtz (1862, 1863) publicized his concept thusly:
"[W]e have been led up to a universal natural law, which . . .
expresses a perfectly general and particularly characteristic
property of all natural forces, and which . . . is to be placed
by the side of the laws of the unalterability of mass and the
unalterability of the chemical elements." Helmholtz (1881)
declared that any force that did not conserve energy would be
"in contradiction to Newton's axiom, which established the
equality of action and reaction for all natural forces" [sic].
With this deceitful misrepresentation of Newton's strictly
mechanical principle, Helmholtz had craftily succeeded in
commuting the profound respect for Newton's laws to his
unscientific doctrine. Subsequently, the Grand Cross was
conferred on Helmholtz by the kings of Sweden and Italy and the
President of the French Republic, and he was welcomed by the
German Emperor into nobility with the title of "von" added to
his name. These prestigious awards made his doctrine virtually
unassailable in the scientific community.

[0044] Ampere's principle of transverse magnetic attraction and
repulsion between electric currents had been made into an
equation for the magnetic force between moving electric charges
by Carl Frederick Gauss (written in 1835, published posthumously
in 1865). The critical part of Gauss's equation shows, and modem
physics texts agree, that magnetic force is transverse to the
force that imparts a relative velocity (i.e., perpendicular to a
connecting line) between charges. Lacking a direct backforce, a
transverse magnetic force can produce a greater force than the
force that causes it.

[0045] The only physicist to recognize in print the profound
significance of Gauss's work was James Clerk Maxwell (1873), who
stated, "[If Gauss's formula is correct,] energy might be
generated indefinitely in a finite system by physical means."
Prepossessed with Helmholtz's "law," Maxwell chose not to
believe Gauss's transverse magnetic-force equation and accepted
Wilhelm Weber's (1846) erroneous in-line formula instead.
Maxwell even admitted knowing of Gauss's (1845) rebuke of Weber
for his mistaken direction of magnetic force as "a complete
overthrow of Ampere's fundamental formula and the adoption of
essentially a different one."

[0046] In 1893 the critical part of Ampere's formula for
magnetic force, which Weber and Maxwell rejected, and which
Helmholtz had replaced with his contrary metaphysical
explanation, was proposed for the basis for the international
measure of electric current, the Ampere (or amp), to be defined
in terms of the transverse magnetic force that the current
produces. But Helmholtz's doctrine had become so impervious to
facts that anyone who challenged this "law" faced defamation and
ridicule.

[0047] The first recognition of unlimited energy came from Sir
Joseph Larmor who reported in 1897, "[A] single ion e,
describing an elliptic orbit under an attraction to a fixed
center . . . must rapidly lose its energy by radiation . . .
[but] in the cases of steady motion it is just this amount that
is needed to maintain the permanency of motion in the aether."
Apparently to mollify critics of his heretical concept, Larmor
offered a half-hearted recantation in 1900: "[T]he energy of
orbital groups . . . would be through time sensibly dissipated
by radiation, so that such groups could not be permanent."

[0048] In 1911 Rutherford found that an atom resembles a small
solar system with negative ions moving like planets around a
small, positively charged nucleus. These endlessly orbiting
electrons were a source of the perpetual radiation that had been
aptly described by Larmor, and these orbiting electrons were
also Planck's (1911) "harmonic oscillators" that he used to
explain Zero-Point Energy (ZPE). ZPE was shown by the fact that
helium remains liquid under atmospheric pressure at absolute
zero, so that helium must be pressurized to become solid at that
temperature. Planck believed that harmonic oscillators derived
"dark energy" from the aether to sustain their oscillations,
thereby admitting that an infinite source of energy exists.
However, he assigned an occult origin to this infinite energy
rather than a conventional source that had not met with
Helmholtz's approval.

[0049] Niels Bohr (1924) was bothered by the notion that
radiation from an orbiting electron would quickly drain its
energy so that the electron should spiral into the nucleus.
Whittaker (1951) states, "[Bohr and associates] abandoned the
principle . . . that an atom which is emitting or absorbing
radiation must be losing or gaining energy. In its place they
introduced the notion of virtual radiation, which was propagated
in . . . waves but which does not transmit energy or momentum."
Subsequently the entire scientific community dismissed Larmor
radiation as a source of real energy because it failed to
conform to Helmholtz's universally accepted doctrine.

[0050] Helmholtz's constraining idea that the vast amount of
light and heat radiating from the many billions of stars in the
universe can only come from previously stored energy has led
scientists to concur that fusion of pre-existing hydrogen to
helium supplies nearly all the energy that causes light and heat
to radiate from the sun and other stars. If so, then the entire
universe will become completely dark after the present hydrogen
supply in stars is consumed in about 20 billion years. William
A. Fowler (1965) believed that essentially all the hydrogen in
the universe "emerged from the first few minutes of the early
high temperature, high density stage of the expanding Universe,
the so-called `big bang`. . . ." Moreover, the background energy
of the universe was thought by some to be "relic" radiation from
the "Big Bang."

[0051] To accept the Big Bang idea that all the stars in the
universe originated at the same time, it was necessary to
disregard the fact that most stars are much younger or older
than the supposed age of the one-time event, which indicates
that their energy must have come from a recurring source. The
Big Bang is entirely dependent on the idea that the whole
universe is expanding, which stemmed from the interpretation
that Hubble's red-shift with distance from the light source
represents a Doppler shift of receding stars and galaxies. This
expanding-universe interpretation was shattered by William G.
Tifft (1976, 1977), who found that observed red-shifts are not
spread randomly and smoothly over a range of values, as would be
expected from the Doppler shifts of a vast number of receding
stars and galaxies. Instead, the observed red-shifts all fall on
evenly spaced, quantized values.

[0052] Moreover, Shpenkov and Kreidik (2002) determined that
the radiation temperature corresponding to the fundamental
period of the orbital electron motion in the hydrogen atom of
2.7289.degree. K. matches the measured temperature of cosmic
background radiation of 2.725.degree..+-.0.002.degree. K. This
represents perpetual zero-level Larmor radiation from
interstellar hydrogen atoms dispersed in the universe. So,
Helmholtz's idea that "the energy in the universe is a fixed
amount immutable in quantity from eternity to eternity" does not
stand up to known facts.

[0053] The large aggregate quantity of heat-photons that are
generated continually by Larmor radiation can account for the
illumination of stars and for the enormous heat and pressure in
active galactic centers. Based on the fact that photons exhibit
momentum, photons must possess mass because, as Newton
explained, momentum is mass times velocity, which in this case
is "c". Consequently the creation of photons by induction or by
Larmor radiation also creates new mass. The conditions that
Fowler was seeking for hydrogen nucleosynthesis are apparently
being supplied indefinitely in active galaxies and possibly in
the sun and other stars above a certain size. This invention
utilizes a similar unlimited energy source.

[0054] Another principle that is important to this
specification is that the transfer of energy by electrical
induction was found by the Applicant to work in the same manner
as the transfer of energy by the broadcast and reception of
oscillating radio signals. A transverse force is communicated in
both cases, the force declines similarly with distance, and the
effects of shielding and reflection are identical. Since radio
signals are communicated by photons, Applicant considers that
inductive force is also communicated by photons. The radiation
of newly formed inductive photons results when an accelerated
charge experiences a change in direction of acceleration.
Inductive radiation occurs when the acceleration of electric
charges is reversed, as in Rontgen's bremsstrahlung, in Hertz's
linear oscillator (plus all other radio-broadcasting antennas),
and in all coils that carry an alternating current.

[0055] In a similar case, when electric charges move in a
curving motion due to a continually changing centripetal
acceleration, inductive photons are steadily radiated. This
includes the radiation from electrons orbiting atomic nuclei
(Larmor radiation) and from conduction electrons flowing in a
wire coil, whether the current is steady or not. Circularly
produced inductive photons induce a circular motion
(diamagnetism) in mobile electrons located near the axis of the
electron's circular movement.

[0056] In both the reverse-acceleration and
centripetal-acceleration cases, inductive photons convey a force
to mobile electrons that is transverse to the photon's
propagation path. As Lapp and Andrews (1954) reported,
"Low-energy photons produce photoelectrons at right angles to
their path . . . ." This same right-angle force without a direct
backforce applies to all conduction electrons that are
accelerated by low-energy photons as well. Hence, inductive
energy qualifies for exemption from the energy-conservation law
by Helmholtz's same ad infinitum principle that exempts magnetic
energy.

[0057] The transverse force that inductively produced photons
deliver to mobile electrons is opposite in direction to the
simultaneous movement of the primary charge that produces the
radiation. This is shown by Faraday's induced current opposite
to the inducing current and by the diamagnetically induced
circular motion that is opposite in a rotational sense to the
circular electron motion in the coil producing it. An
oscillating flow of electrons within a loop of a wire coil
induces a force in the opposite direction on the conduction
electrons in adjacent loops of the same wire, resulting in
self-induction.

[0058] Important to this specification is the realization that
the energy transmitted by photons is kinetic rather than
electromagnetic. Inductively radiated photons of low energy, and
light rays, and X-rays cannot be deflected by an electric or
magnetic field due to the photons' neutral charge. Neither do
neutral photons carry with them an electric or magnetic field.
Photon radiation is produced by a change in the acceleration of
an electric charge, so it has an electrokinetic origin that
involves a magnetic force only in special cases. To honor these
facts, Applicant uses the term "electrokinetic" spectrum in
place of "electromagnetic" spectrum.

[0059] Another principle that is important to this
specification is the realization that, although the charge on
the electron has a constant value under all conditions, the mass
of an electron is not a fixed, unchanging amount. All free
electrons, as in cathode rays, have exactly the same amount of
mass at subrelativistic velocities, which is called "normal"
mass and is denoted by m.sub.e. Free electrons have a unique
charge-to-mass ratio that makes the magnetic force resulting
from a sub-relativistic velocity imparted to such an electron
exactly equal to the force that imparts the velocity, so
magnetic energy output is always equal to the energy input with
"normal" electrons.

[0060] Also, when a normal electron is given a subrelativistic
acceleration, the inductive force it produces is equal to the
force it receives. The mass of highly conductive electrons of
metals is apparently very close to normal, but any very slight
inductive-energy gains would be masked by inefficiencies. The
ubiquity of free electrons and the conduction electrons of
metals has led to the view that electron mass is a never-varying
figure that would allow the energy-conservation law to apply to
magnetic energy and inductive energy.

[0061] Accurate determinations of electron mass in solid
materials have been made possible by cyclotron resonance, which
is also called diamagnetic resonance. The diamagnetic force
produced by the flow of electrons steadily in a wire coil
induces the mobile electrons of a semiconductor to move in a
circular orbit of indefinite radius but at a definite angular
frequency. This frequency is related only to the inductive force
and the electron's mass. At the same time, a repulsive magnetic
force is developed by the relative velocity between the electron
flow in the coil and the conduction electrons, causing the
mobile electrons of the semiconductor to move in a helical path
away from the coil rather than in planar circles. Only two
measurements are needed to determine the mass of such an
electron, the cyclotron frequency that resonates with the
frequency of the electron's circular motion and the strength of
the inductive force, which is determined by the current and
dimensions of the coil. Since the co-produced magnetic field is
related to the same parameters, its measurement serves as a
surrogate for inductive force.

[0062] Because the measured mass of conduction electrons in
semiconductors is less than normal, a complicated explanation
has been adopted to defend the constancy of electron mass in
order to support Helmholtz's energy doctrine. An extra force is
supposedly received from the vibrational lattice-wave energy of
the crystal (in what would have to be an act of
self-refrigeration) to make normal-mass electrons move faster
than expected around a circular path, thereby giving the
appearance that the electron has less mass than normal. In this
explanation the electron is considered to be a smeared-out wave
rather than a particle, which is contradicted by the
billiard-ball-like recoil of an electron when it is bumped by a
quantum of radiation, as described by Arthur Compton and Samuel
Allison (1935).

[0063] The fallacy that borrowed energy can provide a boost in
velocity to an electron is more apparent in the case of linear
motion. The effective-mass theory considers that the greater
linear velocity is caused by a boost given to normal-mass
electrons by a "longitudinal wave" in the same direction as the
electron motion that is imparted by an externally applied force.
Since this longitudinal wave also is considered to have a source
in crystal-lattice vibrations, the effective-mass theory relies
upon a reversal of entropy in violation of the Second Law of
Thermodynamics.

[0064] No reasonable contribution of direction directional
energy can be invoked from any source to impart abnormally great
velocity to the conduction electrons in semiconductors. So, the
operation of apparatus embodiments described herein relies upon
electrons having particle properties and upon electrons having
less-than-normal inertial mass without invoking any special
forces. This is supported by Brennan's (1999) statement that
"the complicated problem of an electron moving within a crystal
under the interaction of a periodic but complicated potential
can be reduced to that of a simple free particle but with a
modified mass." The term "effective mass" (denoted by m\*) was
bestowed on sub-normal electron mass to indicate that it is not
considered to be true mass. The term "effective" is herein
considered redundant in referring to truly inertial mass, but
"effective mass" still has relevance in referring to the net
movement of orbital vacancies or "holes" in the opposite
direction of low-mass electrons.

[0065] By F=ma, a low-mass electron receives greater
acceleration and greater velocity from a given force than an
electron of normal mass. The velocity and kinetic energy
imparted by a force to an electrically charged body are
determined by the inertial mass of the body without regard to
the charge. In contrast, the magnetic force and magnetic energy
produced transversely from the velocity are determined by the
electric charge without regard to the body's mass. A smaller
amount of mass allows a body to attain greater velocity with a
given force. Hence, the magnetic force produced by the charge at
this higher velocity will be greater than it would normally be
for that same amount of force. This allows low-mass electrons to
produce a magnetic force that is greater than the applied force.

[0066] Also, the amount of inductive radiation energy from
accelerated electrons is related to an electron's charge without
regard to its mass. The energy of inductive radiation increases
with the square of the electron's acceleration according to
Larmor's (1900) equation, while the acceleration is inversely
proportional to the lesser electron mass relative to normal
electron mass. Therefore, the greater-than-normal acceleration
of low-mass electrons allows the re-radiation of magnified
inductive-photon energy at a magnification factor that is
proportional to the inverse square of the electron's mass. E.g.,
the inductive-energy magnification factor of cadmium selenide
photoelectrons with 0.13 times normal electron mass is
(0.13).sup.2=59.times..

[0067] Electrons appear to acquire or shed mass from photons in
order to fit the constraints of particular orbits around nuclei,
because each orbit dictates a very specific electron mass. In
metals where the conduction electrons seem to move as a gas, one
might think that they would assume the normal mass of free
electrons. But, the largest mean free path of electrons in the
most conductive metals is reportedly about 100 atomic spacings
between collisions (Pops, 1997), so the conduction electrons
apparently fall back into orbit from time to time and thereby
regain their metal-specific mass values.

[0068] As conduction electrons pass from one metal type to
another, they either lose or gain heat-photons to adjust their
mass to different orbital constraints. In a circuit comprising
two different metallic conductors placed in series contact with
each other, the flow of conduction electrons in one direction
will cause the emission of heat-photons at the junction, while
an electron flow in the reverse direction causes cooling as the
result of ambient heat-photons being absorbed by the conduction
electrons at the junction (Peltier cooling effect). When a metal
is joined with a semiconductor whose conductive electrons have
much lower mass than in metals, much greater heating or cooling
occurs at their junction.

[0069] John Bardeen (1941) reported that the (effective) mass
of superconducting electrons in low-temperature superconductors
is only 10.sup.-4 as great as the mass of normal electrons. This
is demonstrated when superconducting electrons are accelerated
to a much faster circular velocity than normal in
diamagnetically induced eddy currents, which results in enormous
magnetic forces that are capable of levitating heavy magnetic
objects. Electrons with 10.sup.-4 times normal mass are
apparently devoid of (or nearly devoid of) included photon mass,
so normal electrons are deduced to possess about 10.sup.4 times
more included photon mass than the bare electron's own mass.

[0070] The means by which photon mass may be incorporated
within, or ejected from, electrons can be deduced from known
information. Based on the Thomson scattering cross-section, the
classical radius of a normal electron is 2.8.times.10.sup.-15
cm. If the electron has uniform charge throughout a sphere of
that radius, the peripheral velocity would greatly exceed the
velocity of light in order to provide the observed magnetic
moment. Dehmelt (1989) determined that the radius of the
spinning charge that creates an electron's magnetism is
approximately 10.sup.-20 cm. This apparent incongruity can be
explained if the electron is considered to be a hollow shell
(which is commensurate with the bare electron's tiny mass in
comparison to the very large radius) and if the negative charge
of the shell is not the source of the magnetic moment.

[0071] It has long been known that a photon can be split into a
negative ion (electron) and a positive ion (positron), each
having the same amount of charge but of opposite sign. Electrons
and positrons can recombine into electrically neutral photons,
so it is apparent that photons are composed of a positive and a
negative ion. Two ions spinning around each other could produce
the photon's wave nature. The only size of photon ion that can
exist as a separate entity has a charge of exactly plus one or
minus one, whereas the ions can have very much larger or very
much smaller charge and mass when combined in photons, as long
as the two ions are equal in charge and mass. Combined in a
photon, the two ions are apparently attracted together so
strongly that their individual volumes are very much smaller
than as separate entities.

[0072] When a dipole photon enters an electron shell, its
negative-ion portion is expected to be forced toward the shell's
center by Coulombic repulsion, while the photon's positive ion
would be attracted by the negative charge of the shell equally
in all directions. The negative photon ions would likely merge
into a single body at the electron's center while the
positive-ion portion would orbit around the centralized negative
ion to retain the photon's angular momentum. The high peripheral
velocity of this orbiting photon mass would enable portions of
photon material to spin off and exit the electron shell at the
same velocity that they entered the electron, i.e., the speed of
light. The orbiting of the positive photon charge at Dehmelt's
small radius most likely accounts for the magnetic moment that
is observed in electrons of normal mass.

[0073] Liberated low-mass conduction electrons within intrinsic
semiconductors (which are also photoconductors by their nature)
and within doped semiconductors are mostly protected against
acquiring mass from ambient-heat photons by the heat-insulative
properties of the semiconductors. In contrast, low-mass
electrons injected into heat-conducting metals rapidly acquire
mass from ambient-heat photons. Superconducting low-mass
electrons of extremely low mass are protected against acquiring
mass from ambient-heat photons by the existence of cryogenic
conditions, but they are vulnerable to internal heat-photons
created by excessive induction.

[0074] Conduction electrons of metals typically move as a group
at drift velocities of less than one millimeter per second,
although the velocity of the electrical effects approaches the
velocity of light. (Photons are probably involved in the
movement of electrical energy in metallic conductors.) In
contrast, conductive low-mass electrons can move individually at
great velocities in superconductors and semiconductors. Brennan
(1999, p. 631) reports the drift velocity of a particular
electron moving in a semiconductor to be one micrometer in about
10 picoseconds, which is equivalent to 100 kilometers per
second.

[0075] The concentration of the conduction electrons in metals
is the same as the number of atoms, whereas in semiconductors
the mobile low-mass electrons that are free to move can vary
greatly with the amount of certain photon radiation received.
Since the magnitude of an electric current is a summation of the
number of electrons involved times their respective drift
velocities, the current developed by a small ensemble of
photoconducting electrons moving at high speed can exceed the
current of a much greater number of conduction electrons moving
at a very low speed in a metal.

[0076] A general feature of intrinsic semiconductors is that
they become photoconductive in proportion to the amount of
bombardment by some particular electron-liberating frequency (or
band of frequencies) of photon energy up to some limit. The
amount of bombardment by the particular wavelength (or,
equivalently, the frequency) increases along with all other
photon wavelengths as the ambient temperature rises, that is, as
the area increases under Planck's black-body radiation curve.
Consequently, the conductivity of semiconductors continues to
increase with temperature, while the conductivity drops almost
to zero at low temperature unless superconductivity occurs.

[0077] A single high-energy alpha particle can liberate a great
number of low-mass electrons in a thin-film semiconductor, as
Leimer's (1915) energy-magnifying experiment appears to show.
Leimer's alpha radiation was situated near the distant end of a
suspended antenna wire of unreported length when he experienced
the maximum magnetic energy increase in the coil of the ammeter
in the receiver. The low-mass electrons had to have traveled the
entire length of the suspended antenna wire and the connecting
line to his receiving apparatus without encountering any
trapping holes. Assuming these electrons traversed a distance of
1 to 10 meters in less than one-half cycle of the radio
frequency (that is, less than 4 microseconds at 128 kHz) at
which time the low-mass electrons' direction would have been
reversed this would be equivalent to velocities of 25 to 250
km/sec.

[0078] A great number of superconducting electrons can be set
in motion by inductive photon radiation. In contrast, inductive
photon radiation can pass mostly through photoconductors that
have low concentrations of mobile, low-mass electrons.
Applicant's interpretation of Leimer's experiment is that the
liberated low-mass electrons of the semiconductor-coating of the
antenna wire were not directly accelerated by the inductive
photons of the radio signal, but rather were accelerated to high
velocities by an oscillating electric field created in the
metallic wire by the radio photons.

[0079] A review of an experiment performed by File and Mills
(1963) shows that the very low mass of superconducting electrons
is responsible for causing supercurrents to differ from normal
electric currents. A superconducting solenoidal coil (comprising
a Nb-25% Zr alloy wire below 4.3.degree. K.) with the terminals
spot-welded together to make a continuous conductor, was
employed. Extremely slow declines of induced supercurrents were
observed, which can be attributed to an enormous increase in the
coil's self-induction. Because a supercurrent approaches its
maximum charge asymptotically when charging up, or approaches
zero current asymptotically when discharging, a convenient
measure of the coil's charging or discharging rate is the
"time-constant." The time-constant has the same value for both
charging and discharging, and it is defined as (a) the time
needed for charging the coil to 63% of the maximum amount of
current inducible in the coil by a given diamagnetic force, or
(b) the time needed to discharge 63% of the coil's induced
current.

[0080] In normal conductors, the inductive time-constant is
calculated by the inductance of the coil divided by the
resistance of the coil. By use of an empirical equation, the
inductance of the coil in its non-superconducting state is
calculated to be 0.34 Henry based on a double-layered solenoid
of 384 turns that measured 4 inches (10 cm) diameter and 10
inches (25 cm) long. The resistance of the 0.020-inch diameter
(0.51 mm) wire at T=5.degree. K. (just above T.sub.c) is
estimated, by using data for Zr alone, to be 4.times.10.sup.2
ohms. (Resistivity data were not available for Nb or the subject
alloy.) Under non-superconducting conditions, the time-constant
for charging and discharging this coil is thereby calculated to
be approximately 8.times.10.sup.-5 sec.

[0081] The time it took to charge up a supercurrent in the coil
in the experiment was not reported. But, based on the reported
50 re-energizings and magnetic determinations performed in 200
hours, the measured charging time in the superconducting state
is computed to be no more than 4 hours on average.

[0082] Using Bardeen's (1941) m\*.apprxeq.(10.sup.-4)m.sub.e for
the order of magnitude of the low-T.sub.c superconducting
electron's mass, and using Larmor's equation (1900), which
relates inductive radiation power to the square of the
acceleration of the charge, the inductance of the coil is
expected to increase by (10.sup.4).sup.2=10.sup.8 times in the
superconducting state. Thus, the calculated increase in the
time-constant of charging up the supercurrent is
(8.times.10.sup.-5)(10.sup.8)=8.times.10.sup.3 seconds, or 2.2
hours, which is the same order of magnitude as the maximum
actual charging time. The self-induction increased by that
amount because the low-mass electrons are accelerated 10.sup.4
times faster.

[0083] In the case of discharging, the time constant of the
supercurrent was projected by File and Mills from measured
declines observed over periods of 21 and 37 days. The
projections of the two 63% declines agreed closely at
4.times.10.sup.12 sec (=1.3.times.10.sup.5 years). Therefore,
the time-constant of supercurrent discharge, based on projecting
actual measurements, had increased by 5.times.10.sup.16 times
over the time-constant for electrons of normal mass.

[0084] The driving force during charging had been the applied
inductive force, whereas the driving force during discharging
was the supercurrent that had been magnified 10.sup.8 times.
Therefore, during the discharging of the supercurrent, the
time-constant is increased again by 10.sup.8 times, so the
calculated total increase in the time-constant of discharge is
10.sup.8.times.10.sup.8=10.sup.16 times greater than the normal
time-constant. This calculated value of the non-superconducting
time-constant, based solely on the increase of inductive
radiation due to extremely low electron mass, compares favorably
in magnitude with the actually observed value of
5.times.10.sup.16 times the normal time-constant.

[0085] The superconducting coil required no more than four
hours to charge up the supercurrent, yet during subsequent
discharge the superconducting coil was projected to radiate
inductive photon energy from the centripetal acceleration of the
superconducting electrons for 130,000 years before declining by
63%. If this experiment could take place where no energy would
be needed to sustain critical cryogenic conditions, as in outer
space, the lengthy discharge of this energized coil would
clearly demonstrate the creation of energy in the form of newly
created photons inductively radiating from the superconducting
low-mass electrons that circulate around the coils' loops.
Applicant interprets this as showing that low-mass electrons are
capable of inductive-energy-magnification based solely on their
mass relative to that of normal electrons.

[0086] In the embodiments described below, the magnified
inductive energy of low-mass electrons is utilized in coils for
electric-energy generation by employing a flow of inductively
accelerated photons that alternates in direction. This, in turn,
drives low-mass electrons in an oscillating manner, so this
forced reversal involves only a single stage of inductive-energy
magnification rather than the two stages (charging and naturally
discharging) in the foregoing experiment.

***Mode of Operation***

[0087] Inductive photons radiating from an oscillating electric
current in a sending conductor (e.g., from a
radio-wave-broadcasting antenna) convey a force, on conduction
electrons in a receiving conductor, that is transverse to the
incidence direction of the incident inductive photons on the
receiving conductor. As a result, no back-force is transferred
directly back to the sending conductor. Applicant has discovered
that the action of this transverse force on low-mass electrons
in a receiving conductor is analogous to the action of Gauss's
transverse magnetic force on free electrons in a conductor,
which is not subject to the kinetics law of conservation of
energy. If the receiving conductor has low-mass conduction
electrons, then this transverse force would impart greater
acceleration to the low-mass electrons than imparted by the
force to normal free electrons. The resulting greater drift
velocities of low-mass electrons than normal free electrons in
the receiving conductor would yield an increased magnitude of
inductive force produced by the low-mass electrons in the
receiving conductor and hence produce a magnification of the
irradiation energy of inductive photons.

[0088] The direction of the transverse force imparted by the
radiated inductive photons on conduction electrons in the
receiving conductor is opposite the direction of the
corresponding electron flow in the sending conductor. This
relationship is similar to the inductive force on electrons in
the secondary coil of a transformer, which also is opposite to
the direction of flow of electrons in the primary coil.

[0089] Various embodiments of Applicant's electrical generator
employ inductive photons radiated from electrical oscillations
in a "sending coil." Inductive photons are radiated from the
sending coil toward an inductive-photon-receiving coil, termed
an "energy-magnifying coil," that comprises a photoconductive or
superconductive material, or other suitable material as
described later below. The energy-magnifying coil is placed in a
condition favorable for the production of low-mass electrons
that participate in electrical conduction in the
energy-magnifying coil. For example, if the energy-magnifying
coil is made of photoconductive material, the coil is provided
with a photoconduction exciter. Alternatively, if the
energy-magnifying coil is made of a superconductor, the
energy-magnifying coil is placed in an environment at a
temperature (T) no greater than the critical temperature
(T.sub.c); i.e., T<T.sub.c. In the former example, the
photoconduction exciter can be a source of illumination that
produces an appropriate wavelength of excitive electrokinetic
radiation. If the energy-magnifying coil is comprised of a doped
semiconductor, the condition that provides mobile low-mass
electrons already exists.

[0090] In the energy-magnifying coil, the greater-than-normal
acceleration of the low-mass electrons produces
greater-than-normal inductive forces in the form of
greater-than-normal radiation of inductive photons from the
coil. The resulting increased inductive-photon energy from the
photoconductor or superconductor is converted into useful
electrical energy in an output coil inductively coupled to the
energy-magnifying coil. The output coil can be made of insulated
metallic wire. An exemplary output coil is situated coaxially
with and nested within the energy-magnification coil; such an
output coil is termed herein an "internal output coil."

[0091] The ability of the subject apparatus to produce more
energy output than energy input is based on the output coil
receiving more of the magnified energy from the
energy-magnifying coil than is returned as a back-force from the
output coil to the energy-magnifying coil. This principle is
termed herein "energy leverage."

[0092] The oscillations in the energy-magnifying coil are
initiated by an external energy-input source that provides an
initiating impulse of electron flow in the sending coil. For
example, the external energy-input source can be an adjacent
independent electromagnet or an adjacent permanent magnet moved
rapidly relative to the sending coil. The initiating impulse
commences an oscillation in the sending coil that stimulates
radiation of inductive photons from the sending coil to the
energy-magnifying coil. Energy from the external energy-input
source is magnified by the apparatus so long as the
energy-magnifying coil does not act as an independent oscillator
at a different frequency. Independent oscillation is desirably
avoided by connecting the ends or terminals of the
energy-magnifying coil to each other in such a way that it
results in one continuous coil, or a continuous multiple-coil
system or systems, connected together in such a way that
continuity exists for the conduction of low-mass electrons
throughout the entire coil system. The energy-magnifying coil
inductively creates more energy in the output coil than the
energy of the initial impulse. The resulting magnified output of
electrical energy produced by the apparatus is available for
useful purposes in a work loop.

[0093] After initiation the apparatus is made self-sustaining
using a feed-back loop arranged in parallel with the work loop
that includes the sending coil, and with a capacitor located in
the feed-back loop to make it an L-C circuit. I.e., after
start-up of the apparatus using the external energy-input
source, the apparatus becomes self-resonating, which allows the
external energy-input source to be decoupled from the apparatus
without causing the apparatus to cease production of electrical
energy.

[0094] During normal self-sustained operation, a portion of the
output electrical energy is returned to the sending coil by the
feed-back loop, thereby obviating the need to use the external
energy-input source for sustaining the oscillations in the
sending coil. In other words, after startup the external energy
that was used by the sending coil to excite the photoconductive
material or the superconducting material in the
energy-magnifying coil is replaced by a portion of the output
energy produced by the apparatus itself. The remainder of the
output electrical energy is available in the work loop for
useful purposes.

[0095] Initiating the generation of electrical energy by the
apparatus takes advantage of the fact that the inductive
back-force sent from the output coil to the energy-magnifying
coil (and hence ultimately back to the sending coil) arrives at
the sending coil one cycle behind the corresponding pulse that
initiated the flow of electrons. This one-cycle lag of the
back-force, as well as a corresponding one-cycle lag in the
feed-back, enables small starting pulses produced in the sending
coil to produce progressively greater electrical outputs each
successive cycle. Consequently, assuming the electrical load is
not excessive during startup, only a relatively few initiating
cycles from the external energy-input source typically are
needed for achieving production by the apparatus of an amount of
output power sufficient for driving the load as well as
providing sufficient energy feedback to the sending coil in a
sustained manner.

[0096] A half-cycle of the one-cycle lag occurs between an
initial acceleration of electrons in the sending coil and a
corresponding initial oscillation in the energy-magnifying coil.
This half-cycle lag occurs because induction photons are not
radiated from the initial acceleration of electrons in the
sending coil but rather are radiated when the electrons are
reverse-accelerated. (Kramers, 1923, and Compton and Allison,
1935, p. 106.) As the newly formed photons are being radiated by
the respective deceleration of electrons in the sending coil,
even more new photons are being formed simultaneously by the new
direction (i.e., reverse direction) of acceleration under
oscillating conditions. Thus, the radiation of photons from
electrons alternatingly accelerated in the opposite direction
from the conveyed force continues each half-cycle after the
initial half-cycle.

[0097] Applicant also discovered that a half-cycle lag also
occurs between the initial flow of electrons in the primary coil
of a certain type of transformer, which is comprised simply of
coils nested coaxially rather than being inductively coupled by
an iron core, and the resulting electron flow induced in the
secondary coil. Applied to the instant apparatus, these findings
indicate that a second half-cycle lag occurs between the
acceleration of low-mass electrons in the energy-magnifying coil
and the corresponding electron flow induced in the output coil.
The feed-back from the output coil boosts the electron flow in
the sending coil one whole cycle after the initial pulse.

[0098] As discussed above, the energy-magnifying coil comprises
either a photoconductor, a doped semiconductor, or a
superconductor as a source of, and as a conductor of, low-mass
electrons. The general configuration of the coil is similar in
either case. The coil including a photoconductor or doped
semiconductor has an operational advantage at normal
temperatures, and the coil including a superconductor has an
operational advantage at subcritical temperatures
(T<T.sub.c), such as in outer space.

***Representative Embodiments***

[0099] Reference now is made to FIGS. 1(A)-1(C) and 2(A)-2(B)
that depict a sending coil 20 connected to a source 21 of
alternating current. The sending coil is shown having a
desirable cylindrical profile, desirably with a circular
cross-section as the most efficient configuration. In FIGS.
1(A)-1(B), electrical oscillations from the source 21 and
conducted to the sending coil 20 cause inductive photons 22 to
radiate from the sending coil. The radiated photons 22 convey
transverse forces in the same manner that a radio-broadcasting
antenna transmits oscillating energy. The sending coil 20 can
comprise a single layer or multiple layers of insulated metal
wire (e.g., insulated copper wire) forming the coil. One layer
is sufficient, but an additional layer or layers may increase
operational efficiency. If necessary or desired, the turns of
wire can be formed on a cylindrical substrate made of a suitable
dielectric.

[0100] The inductive photons 22 radiating from the sending coil
20 propagate to an energy-magnifying coil 24 that desirably has
a cylindrical profile extending parallel to the sending coil. In
the embodiment shown in FIGS. 1(A) and 1(B), the
energy-magnifying coil 24 does not terminate at the ends, but
rather it is constructed with a connector 30 to form a
continuous conductor. The energy-magnifying coil 24 desirably is
a helical coil made of a material comprising a photoconductive
or superconductive material, or other suitable material. If
necessary or desired, the energy-magnifying coil can be formed
on a substrate that, if used, desirably is transmissive to the
inductive-photon radiation produced by the coil.

[0101] In an energy-magnifying coil 24 made of a
superconducting material, a large population of conductive
low-mass electrons is produced in the coil by lowering the
temperature of the coil to T<T.sub.c, wherein T.sub.c is the
critical temperature of the particular superconducting material.
By way of example, subcritical temperatures are readily
available in outer space or are produced under cryogenic
conditions.

[0102] In an energy-magnifying coil 24 made of a photoconductor
material, a large population of conductive low-mass electrons is
produced in the coil by illuminating the coil with photons of an
appropriate wavelength, such as photons produced by a
photoconduction exciter 26. The photoconduction exciter 26
desirably is situated and configured to illuminate substantially
at least the same side of the energy-magnifying coil 24 that
receives inductive photons 22 radiating directly from the
sending coil 20. Alternatively, the photoconduction exciter 26
can be situated and configured to illuminate all sides of the
energy-magnifying coil 24. In the depicted embodiment the
photoconduction exciter 26 can be at least one incandescent lamp
(as shown) energized by conventional circuitry (not shown).
Alternatively, the photoconduction exciter 26 can be at least
one gas-discharge lamp or one or more light-emitting diodes
(LEDs). The wavelength produced by the photoconduction exciter
26 can be, for example, in the infrared (IR), visible,
ultraviolet (UV), or X-ray range as required by the particular
photoconductive material in the energy-magnifying coil 24.
Another possible form of the photoconduction exciter 26 is a
source of photons in the gigahertz or the terahertz portion of
the electrokinetic spectrum. Other photoconduction exciters are
configured, as required, to produce a suitable wavelength from
the radio-wave portion of the electrokinetic spectrum. The
illumination can be either direct from the photoconduction
exciter 26 to the energy-magnifying coil 24 or conveyed from a
remotely located photoconduction exciter 26 to the
energy-magnifying coil 24 via optical fibers, light pipes, or
the like.

[0103] FIGS. 1(B) and 1(C) are respective orthogonal end views
of the sending coil 20 and energy-magnifying coil 24 shown in
FIG. 1(A). The radiation of inductive photons 22 from the
sending coil 20 is indicated schematically in FIGS. 1(A)-1(C) by
small, jagged arrows. The forces delivered by the photons 22 to
the conductive low-mass electrons in the energy-magnifying coil
24 alternate in directions that are opposite the respective
directions of simultaneous electron flow in the sending coil 20.
Whenever the particular oscillation phase of electron flow in
the sending coil 20 is in the direction of the curved arrow 25a
adjacent the sending coil 20 in FIG. 1(B), the resulting
transverse photon force causes a flow of low-mass electrons in
the energy-magnifying coil 24 depicted by the curved arrow 27a
adjacent the energy-magnifying coil 24.

[0104] The shaded sector 29 shown in FIG. 1(B) denotes the
proportion of inductive-photon radiation 22 from the sending
coil 20 actually received by the single energy-magnifying coil
24 shown, compared to the entire 360-degree radiation of
inductive photons 22 from the sending coil 20. Aside from a
small amount of inductive-photon radiation lost from the ends of
the sending coil 20, the relative amount of the total energy of
inductive-photon radiation received by the energy-magnifying
coil 24 is determined by the angle subtended by the
energy-magnifying coil 24, relative to the entire 360 degrees of
inductive-photon radiation from the sending coil 20.

[0105] In FIG. 1(C) the low-mass conduction electrons of the
energy-magnifying coil 24 are accelerated to a higher drift
velocity than normal free electrons in the energy-magnifying
coil 24 would be. As noted above, the sending coil 20 is
energized by alternating electron flow, which causes a periodic
reversal of direction of electron flow in the sending coil 20
(compare the direction of the arrow 25b in FIG. 1(C) with the
direction of the arrow 25a in FIG. 1(B)). Each reversal of
direction of electron flow in the sending coil 20 causes a
corresponding reversal in the direction of acceleration of the
low-mass electrons in the energy-magnifying coil 24 (compare the
direction of the arrow 27b in FIG. 1(C) with the direction of
the arrow 27a in FIG. 1(B)). Each such reversal in direction of
acceleration causes a corresponding radiation of inductive
photons (jagged arrows 18a, 18b) radially outwardly and radially
inwardly, respectively, from the energy-magnifying coil 24. Note
that the arrows 18a, 18b are larger than the arrows denoting the
inductive photons 22, indicating the greater energy associated
with the photons (arrows 18a, 18b) from the energy-magnifying
coil 24 compared to the energy associated with the inductive
photons (arrows 22) from the sending coil 20. This symbolically
denotes energy magnification.) Note also that, of the magnified
inductive-photon energy radiating from the energy-magnifying
coil 24, substantially half is directed inwardly (arrows 18b),
and substantially the other half is radiated outwardly (arrows
18a).

[0106] Turning now to FIG. 2(A), the sending coil 20 and
energy-magnifying coil 24 are shown. The energy-magnifying coil
24 in FIG. 2(A) includes an internal output coil 28a that
desirably is situated coaxially inwardly of, and coextensively
with, the energy-magnifying coil 24. A work loop 48 can be
connected to the ends of the internal output coil 28a, thereby
forming an electrical circuit in which a load 49 is indicated
symbolically as a resistor. The internal output coil 28a and the
conductors of the work loop 48 desirably are made of insulated
metallic (e.g., copper) wire.

[0107] FIG. 2(B) depicts a transverse section of the coils
shown in FIG. 2(A). In FIG. 2(B) the magnified inductive-photon
energy (shaded area 19) produced by the energy-magnifying coil
24 and directed radially inwardly toward the internal output
coil 28a induces a corresponding oscillating electron flow in
the internal output coil 28a. Thus, the work loop 48 connected
across the internal output coil 28a is provided with greater
energy than was received by the energy-magnifying coil 24 from
the sending coil 20. The direction of the electron flow (arrow
17) in the internal output coil 28a is opposite to the direction
of flow (arrow 27b) in the energy-magnifying coil 24, which in
turn is opposite to the direction of electron flow 25b in the
sending coil 20.

[0108] In FIG. 2(B) the annular-shaped shaded area 19 between
the energy-magnifying coil 24 and the internal output coil 28a
indicates that substantially all the internally directed
magnified inductive-photon energy (i.e., approximately half of
the total radiation energy) from the energy-magnifying coil 24
is directed to and captured by the internal output coil 28a. In
contrast, the shaded sector 16 extending from the
energy-magnifying coil 24 to the sending coil 20 indicates that
a relatively small proportion of the outwardly directed
magnified radiation 18a from the energy-magnifying coil 24 is
directed to the sending coil 20 where the radiation provides a
corresponding back-force. Aside from the small amount of
inductive-photon radiation lost from the ends of the
energy-magnifying coil 24, the relative amount of the magnified
inductive-photon radiation (sector 16) providing the back-force
on the sending coil 20 is a function of the angle subtended by
the sector 16, compared to the 360-degree radiation from the
energy-magnifying coil 24.

[0109] The ratio of magnified energy 18b, from the
energy-magnifying coil 24 and received by the internal output
coil 28a, to the magnified energy 18a received as a back-force
by the sending coil 20 denotes the energy "leverage" achieved by
the subject apparatus. If this ratio is greater than unity, then
the energy output from the internal output coil 28a exceeds the
energy input to the energy-magnifying coil 24. This energy
leverage is key to the self-sustained operation of the
apparatus, especially whenever the apparatus is being used to
drive a load. In other words, with a sufficiently large
energy-magnification factor achieved by the energy-magnifying
coil 24, the electrical energy available in the work loop 48
exceeds the input energy that produces the oscillations in the
sending coil 20. The electric power input to the sending coil 20
thereby produces magnified electric power in the internal output
coil 28a that can perform useful work in the work loop 48 while
self-powering continued operation of the apparatus.

[0110] Reference is now made to FIG. 3, which schematically
depicts aspects of the apparatus 15 responsible for
self-generation of electric power by employing a feed-back loop
46. The conductors of the feed-back loop 46 can be made of
insulated metallic wire. (In FIG. 3 the dotted lines 47a and
dotted arrow 47b indicate that the internal output coil 28a
actually is disposed coaxially inside the energy-magnifying coil
24, as described above, but is depicted in the figure outside
the energy-magnifying coil for ease of illustration.) The
feed-back loop 46 conducts a portion of the electric power from
the internal output coil 28a back to the sending coil 20. The
remaining portion of the electric power from the internal output
coil 28a is directed to the work loop 48 where the power is
utilized for useful work 51 (e.g., an electrical resistor). The
relative proportions of output power delivered to the feed-back
loop 46 and to the work loop 48 can be varied by adjusting a
variable resistor 50.

[0111] As noted above, an initial source of electrical energy
is used for "starting" the apparatus 15 by initiating an
oscillation in the sending coil 20. After starting, under usual
operating conditions the apparatus 15 is self-resonant and no
longer requires input of energy from the initial source. The
particular inductance and distributed capacitance of the sending
coil 20 plus all other capacitances and inductances in the
apparatus provide a certain corresponding frequency of
self-resonating oscillation. In the feed-back loop 46 is a
capacitor 77 that makes the apparatus an L-C circuit that
oscillates at its own frequency. The frequency can be changed by
altering the capacitance or the inductance of the apparatus, or
both. The capacitor 77 can be a variable capacitor by which the
frequency can be adjusted.

[0112] As shown in FIG. 3, the initial source of oscillating
electrical energy can be an impulse from an external
electromagnet 52 powered by its own energy source (e.g., a
battery 53 as shown or other dc or ac source). For example, the
electromagnet 52 can be placed near the sending coil 20 or other
portion of the feed-back loop 46 and energized by a momentary
discharge delivered from the battery 53 by a switch 57. The
resulting pulse generated in the electromagnet 52 initiates a
corresponding electrical pulse in the sending coil 20 that
initiates self-sustaining oscillations in the apparatus 15. In
another embodiment, the electromagnet 52 can be energized
briefly by an ac source (not shown). In yet another embodiment,
the initial source can be a permanent magnet that is moved
rapidly (either mechanically or manually) near the sending coil
20 or other portion of the feed-back circuitry. In any event,
the pulse provided by the initial source initiates electrical
oscillations in the sending coil 20 that produce corresponding
oscillating inductive-photon radiation 22 from the sending coil
20, as shown schematically in FIG. 3 by thin, jagged arrows. The
inductive-photon radiation 22 from the sending coil 20 causes,
in turn, re-radiation of magnified inductive-photon energy 18b
from low-mass electrons in the energy-magnifying coil 24, as
shown schematically in FIG. 3 by thick, jagged arrows. FIG. 3
depicts a photoconductive energy-magnifying coil 24 that is
illuminated meanwhile by an incandescent photoconduction exciter
26 energized by a respective power source 55 (e.g., an
externally connected battery as shown).

[0113] A sufficiently high energy-magnification factor of the
apparatus 15 allows the magnified energy from the
energy-magnifying coil 24 to induce greater energy in the
internal output coil 28a than the energy of the corresponding
initial impulse. A portion of the magnified electrical energy is
returned to the sending coil 20 via the feed-back loop 46 to
sustain the oscillations.

[0114] The remaining, surplus energy from the internal output
coil 28a is available for application to useful work via the
work loop 48. In one embodiment some of this useful work can be
used for illuminating the photoconduction exciter 26 (circuitry
not shown) in an apparatus configuration in which the
energy-magnifying coil 24 comprises a photoconductor. In another
embodiment some of this useful work can be used for maintaining
cryogenic (T<T.sub.c) conditions for an apparatus
configuration in which the energy-magnifying coil 24 comprises a
superconductor.

[0115] After starting oscillations in the apparatus 15,
electron flow builds up rapidly so long as the load 49 does not
draw off too much of the output energy during startup. Upon
reaching operational equilibrium, the output of electrical power
from the apparatus 15 is a rapidly alternating current (ac). The
ac output can be rectified by conventional means to produce
direct current (dc), and the output can be regulated using
conventional means as required. Many variations of conventional
circuitry are possible, such as, but not limited to, automatic
voltage controllers, current controllers, solenoidal switches,
transformers, and rectifiers.

[0116] Regarding the energy-magnifying coil 24, an exemplary
embodiment can be made from a low-T.sub.c superconductor such as
commercially available, flexible, niobium-zirconium wire that
can be formed readily into a coil. Other embodiments, as noted
above, of the energy-magnifying coil 24 can be made using a
photoconductive material or a high-T.sub.c superconductor. Most
high-T.sub.c superconductors (and some photoconductors) have
ceramic-like properties and thus require application of special
methods for forming the material into a cylindrical coil having
electrical continuity throughout. Some commercially available
high-T.sub.c superconductors are available in ribbon or tape
form. The energy-magnifying coil 24 can be free-standing or
supported on a rigid substrate.

[0117] By way of example, an energy-magnifying coil 24 can be
made from a ribbon of flexible photoconductive material such as
the material discussed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,310,281, incorporated
herein by reference. Briefly, a layer of stress-compliant metal
is placed on a plastic ribbon. Then, the photoconductive
material is deposited on both sides of the metal-covered ribbon
and the edges of the ribbon so that the metal coats the ribbon
all the way around. Such a configuration would allow low-mass
electrons in the photoconductive material to receive energy from
inductive photons emitted from the sending coil 20 on one side
of the ribbon while re-radiating magnified energy from both
sides of the ribbon.

[0118] In another example a flexible photoconductor ribbon is
made from a flexible organic polymer having photoconductive
properties. (High electrical conductivity observed in
photoconductive polymers is attributed to the presence of
low-mass electrons in the material.) The flexible,
photoconductive ribbon can be wound on a dielectric tubular
support to form the energy-magnifying coil 24.

[0119] In yet another example, a thick-film coating of
photoconductive cadmium sulfide or cadmium selenide is formed on
a wire coil by sintering a paste, which comprises a powder of
finely ground CdS or CdSe crystals mixed with water and at least
a fluidizer such as cadmium chloride, at a temperature of
550.degree. C. to 600.degree. C. in a controlled atmosphere.
During sintering the boundaries of the small crystals become
melted with the heated fluidizer, allowing the crystals to
regrow together and solidify when the fluidizer evaporates and
the sintered coating is cooled. Alternatively, copper oxides are
formed in place on bare copper or bronze wire by heating the
wire above about 260.degree. C. in an oxygen atmosphere, or by
application of chemical oxidants.

[0120] In yet another example, a coil of a ceramic-like
superconductor or photoconductor is made by tape-casting,
extruding, slip-casting, cold- or hot-pressing, or coating of
the material as a thin film arranged helically on a tubular
dielectric substrate. The assembly is heat-treated in a
controlled-atmosphere furnace to increase intercrystalline
contacts. Alternatively, the thin film of superconductor or
photoconductor is formed over the entire exterior of the
dielectric substrate, followed by removal of selected portions
of the superconductor or photoconductor to form the desired
helical coil.

[0121] In some photoconductors and doped semiconductors, only a
small portion of a population of inductive photons irradiated on
the material impact with, and yield acceleration of, low-mass
electrons in the material. This is due to a low density of
photoconductive low-mass electrons in the material. In such a
case, inductive-photon radiation passing through the material
can be captured efficiently by normal free conduction electrons
in a metallic strip that desirably is in immediate contact with,
or embedded in, the material. The acceleration of normal free
electrons in the metallic conductor sets up an electric field
that assists in accelerating the low-mass photoelectrons. In
this configuration, it is desirable that the photoconductive
material be disposed completely over and around the metallic
strip so that the photoconductor faces both outwardly and
inwardly, with both sides of the photoconductor or doped
semiconductor being in electrical contact with each other.

[0122] One factor in the choice of photoconductor material to
use in forming the energy-magnifying coil 24 is the potential
magnification of energy that can be realized by low-mass
electrons of an n-type or p-type photoconductive material. Other
important factors are the quantity of low-mass electrons that
are available in the photoconductive material for a given amount
of illumination and the actual electrical conductance of the
material. Standard illumination-sensitivity measurements provide
a general overall index of the ability of a photoconductor to
serve effectively in magnifying energy.

[0123] Cadmium sulfide and cadmium selenide, the most common
photoconductive compounds that are commercially available, have
calculated magnification factors of 37 and 59, respectively. The
peak response wavelength of cadmium sulfide is 515 nanometers
(in the green part of the visible spectrum) and of cadmium
selenide is 730 nanometers (in the near-infrared part of the
spectrum). Cadmium sulfide can be mixed with cadmium selenide
under certain conditions, so the resulting mixture assumes
photoconductive characteristics that are intermediate the
respective photoconductivities of the individual compounds.
Mixtures can thereby be produced having peak wavelengths that
are matched to wavelengths of commercially available LEDs of
many sizes and illumination intensities. Some semiconductors
that become photoconductive at a wavelength smaller than the
wavelength produced by currently available LEDs can be made
conductive of low-mass electrons merely by heating. Applicant
has found that gallium arsenide develops considerably higher
conductivity than copper or silver at a temperature of
100.degree. C., and that the conductive electrons are low-mass.
Also, alpha radiation is capable of liberating many low-mass
electrons in some semiconductors. A second electron of
comparatively low mass may have been liberated from cupric oxide
by alpha radiation along with the outer copper electron in
Leimer's (1915) experiments, since the measured energy
magnification exceeded the magnification calculated from
cyclotron resonance of CuO, which most likely pertains only to
the mass of the outer electron.

[0124] Dopants can be added to a semiconductor to make it more
conductive of low-mass electrons without illumination. Also, the
illumination-sensitivity and conductivity of cadmium sulfide are
increased by adding small amounts of donor-type dopants such as,
but not limited to, sulfides, selenides, tellurides, arsenides,
antimonides, and phosphides of the Type-IIIa elements: aluminum,
gallium, indium, and thallium. In this regard, the
photoconductors of high-sensitivity photovoltaic cells may
comprise as many as five different compounds. The actual
mixtures of photoconductive compounds and dopants used in
commercially available photovoltaic cells often are trade
secrets. But, the sensitivities and conductances of the cells
usually are given or are measurable, and this data can be used
advantageously in selecting a particular photoconductive
compound for use in the apparatus.

[0125] Other photoconductive compounds or elements can be
employed in energy-magnifying coils. For example, the conduction
electrons of silicon have an energy-magnification factor of
15.times.. Photoconductors having very high magnification
factors include, but are not limited to, gallium arsenide,
indium phosphide, gallium antimonide, cadmium-tin arsenide, and
cadmium arsenide, which have calculated energy-magnification
factors ranging between 200.times. and 500.times., and mercury
selenide (1100.times.), indium arsenide (2000.times.), mercury
telluride (3400.times.), and indium antimonide (5100.times.).

[0126] The depth of optical transmission largely determines the
optimum thickness of photoconductive films for energy-magnifying
coils. For example, the highest optical transmission of sintered
CdS is reported to be 20 micrometers, but since the average
grain size increases (and the average porosity decreases) with
an increase in film thickness, the maximum conductivity of a
sintered film is at a thickness of 35 micrometers (J. S. Lee et
al., 1987).

[0127] The metal chosen to be embedded must not react
chemically with the photoconductor. For example, aluminum reacts
with gallium arsenide (GaAs) in an electrical environment to
change the conductive character of both the GaAs and the
aluminum. Gold, platinum, and palladium can serve in many cases
because these materials are relatively inert chemically. Gold
combines chemically with tellurium, however, so gold is not
suitable for embedding in mercury telluride. Cadmium plating
over a common metal serves to alleviate the reactivity in cases
where cadmium sulfide or cadmium selenide is used as the
photoconductor.

[0128] The discussion above has been, for ease of explanation,
in the context of the apparatus including one energy-magnifying
coil 24. However, as discussed, use of a single
energy-magnifying coil 24 to capture inductive photons from the
sending coil 20 results in loss (by non-capture) of most of the
inductive photons from the sending coil 20. This proportion of
captured inductive photons can be increased greatly in an
embodiment in which multiple energy-magnifying coils 24 are
arrayed around the sending coil 20, such as shown in FIG. 4. In
the embodiment of FIG. 4, the energy-magnifying coils 24
substantially completely surround the sending coil 20, and
(although six energy-magnifying coils 24 are shown) as few as
three energy-magnifying coils 24 of adequate diameter still
could substantially completely surround the sending coil 20.
There is no limit, except as possibly related to packaging
concerns, to the maximal number of energy-magnifying coils 24
that could be used. The depicted configuration (FIG. 4) has a
desirable number of six energy-magnifying coils 24. In FIG. 4
the shaded sectors 31, considered collectively, illustrate that
nearly all 360 degrees of inductive-photon radiation 22 from the
sending coil 20 are received by the energy-magnifying coils 24.
Not shown in FIG. 4 are photoconduction exciters (items 26 in
FIG. 3) used for illuminating respective portions of the
energy-magnifying coils 24 in a photoconductive form of the
apparatus 15.

[0129] FIG. 4 also depicts respective internal output coils 28a
nested coaxially and coextensively inside each of the
energy-magnifying coils 24. As discussed earlier, each internal
output coil 28a receives nearly all the inductive-photon
radiation propagating radially inwardly from the respective
energy-magnifying coil 24. Desirably, the overall energy output
of the embodiment of FIG. 4 can be increased by surrounding the
array of energy-magnifying coils 24 with an external output coil
28b, of which the conductors desirably are made of insulated
metallic wire (FIG. 5). In this embodiment approximately half
the outwardly propagating, magnified inductive-photon radiation
(large arrows 18) from each energy-magnifying coil 24 (one such
coil is highlighted in FIG. 5) is received by the external
output coil 28b. This captured radiation is denoted by the
shaded sector 35. When this externally directed inductive
radiation captured from all the energy-magnifying coils 24 is
added to all the inwardly directed radiation captured from the
energy-magnifying coils 24 by their respective internal output
coils 28a (shaded areas 19), the total energy received by the
output coils 28a, 28b greatly exceeds the back-force energy
directed by the energy-magnifying coils 24 toward the sending
coil 20 (the back-force energy from one energy-magnifying coil
24 is shown as the shaded sector 16). Thus, the resulting energy
"leverage" exhibited by the apparatus is increased substantially
by including the external output coil 28b.

[0130] The embodiment of FIG. 5 also includes respective arrays
(viewed endwise) of light-emitting diodes (LEDs) collectively
serving as photoconduction exciters 26 for the energy-magnifying
coils 24. The LED arrays are arranged back-to-back and disposed
between adjacent energy-magnifying coils 24. Each array in FIG.
5 can comprise multiple LEDs or as few as one LED.

[0131] FIG. 6 provides a perspective view of an apparatus 15
having an arrangement of coils similar to the arrangement shown
in FIG. 5. In FIG. 6 each energy-magnifying coil 24 comprises a
helical coil of superconductive or photoconductive material in
wire or ribbon (tape-like) form.

[0132] Whenever multiple energy-magnifying coils 24 are used,
the respective directions of electron flow in them desirably
occur in the same circular direction as viewed endwise. Thus,
the flow of electrons in all the energy-magnifying coils 24 is
clockwise during one phase of an oscillation cycle and
counterclockwise during the other phase. The same principle
applies to the flow of electrons in the output coils 28a, 28b.
(But, in such an embodiment, the flow of electrons in the output
coils 28a, 28b is in the opposite direction to the electron flow
in the energy-magnifying coils 24.) These relationships of
electron flow in the coils during a particular phase of an
oscillation cycle are shown in FIG. 7.

[0133] The energy-magnifying coils 24 desirably are connected
together in series, using intercoil connectors 30a, 30b to
maintain the same direction of electron flow, which can be
clockwise or counter-clockwise (as viewed from one end of such a
coil). This direction of electron flow in a coil is termed the
"handedness" of the coil. If the energy-magnifying coils 24 all
have the same handedness, then the termini of adjacent
energy-magnifying coils 24 are connected together in a
head-to-foot manner progressively in one direction around the
group of coils (not shown). ("Head" refers to the forward-facing
end, and "foot" refers to the rearward-facing end of the
apparatus in relation to the viewer.) In this case the intercoil
connectors 30a, 30b must pass either completely through the
apparatus or around the outside of the apparatus for its entire
length, which reduces efficiency and can cause undesirable wear
if the connectors are subjected to vibrations. A more desirable
arrangement is depicted in FIG. 6, in which short intercoil
connectors 30a cross directly head-to-head between one
energy-magnifying coil 24 and an adjacent energy-magnifying coil
24, and short intercoil connectors 30b cross over directly
foot-to-foot in the next energy-magnifying coils 24. In this
configuration the handedness of turns of the energy-magnifying
coils 24 alternates from right-to-left to left-to-right in
adjacent energy-magnifying coils 24. In the same manner as a
right-handed screw advances from head to foot as it is turned
clockwise, and a left-handed screw advances in the opposite
direction as it is turned clockwise, clockwise electron flow in
a right-handed coil advances from head to foot, and clockwise
electron flow in a left-handed coil advances from foot to head
in a left-handed coil.

[0134] The single-layered internal output coils 28a in FIG. 6
present the same situation in which these coils are connected in
series. Desirably, the intercoil connectors 32a cross over
directly from one internal output coil 28a to the adjacent
internal output coil 28a head-to-head, and the intercoil
connectors 32b cross over directly foot-to-foot from one
internal output coil 28a to the adjacent internal output coil
28a. This same handedness convention generally applies to all
series-connected internal output coils 28a connected in this
manner. The head-to-head intercoil connectors 32a and
foot-to-foot intercoil connectors 32b for the internal output
coils 28a need not coincide with the same respective connectors
30a, 30b for the energy-magnifying coils 24.

[0135] In another embodiment (not shown), each internal output
coil is two-layered, with both leads at either the head or foot.
Such a configuration allows for short and direct connections
between adjacent internal output coils. Multiple-layered
internal output coils may be more efficient, but the extra
layers of coiled wire increase the mass of the apparatus, which
may be a concern in mobile applications. Multiple wire layers
carrying high current also may result in overheating, which may
require that some space be left between each internal output
coil 28a and its surrounding energy-magnifying coil 24 to
accommodate one or more conduits of a coolant through the
apparatus (at a sacrifice of some efficiency). The coolant can
be, for example, forced air (in the case of photoconductors or
doped semiconductors) or liquefied cryogenic gas (in the case of
superconductors).

[0136] FIG. 6 also shows two external conductors 34 connected
to respective internal output coils 28a. Electrons flow through
the conductors 34 and the internal output coils 28a in series.
In addition, two external conductors 36 are connected to
respective ends of the external output coil 28b, and two
external conductors 38 are connected to respective ends of the
sending coil 20.

[0137] FIG. 7 is a schematic end view of the apparatus of FIG.
6, showing the relative direction of electron flow in the
various coils and in the intercoil connections described for
single-layer coils. At a particular oscillation phase, the
clockwise electron flow denoted by the arrow 39a in the sending
coil 20 induces clockwise electron flow 39b in all the
energy-magnifying coils 24. The magnified radiation from the
clockwise electron flow in the energy-magnifying coils 24
induces counter-clockwise electron flow in all the internal
output coils 28a, as indicated by the arrows 39c. The
counter-clockwise electron flow, denoted by the arrow 39d, in
the external output coil 28b is opposite in direction to the
electron flow in the energy-magnifying coils 24.

[0138] The electron flow in the intercoil connectors 30a
extending between adjacent energy-magnifying coils 24 is
indicated by the arrows 39e, and the electron flow in the
intercoil connectors 32a extending between adjacent internal
output coils 28a is indicated by the arrows 39f. During the next
oscillation phase, all the directional arrows shown in FIG. 7
reverse themselves.

[0139] Connecting the internal output coils 28a together in
series is advantageous if it is desired to maximize the output
voltage from the apparatus 15. Alternatively, the internal
output coils 28a can be connected together in parallel if it is
desired to maximize the output electrical current from the
apparatus 15 while minimizing output voltage. In this
alternative configuration, all the internal output coils 28a
desirably are wound with the same handedness, with each coil 28a
having two respective leads. The leads at one end (e.g., the
foot end) of the coils 28a are connected to each other, and the
leads at the other end (the head end) of the coils 28a are
connected to each other. The resulting parallel-coil system is
connected in a conventional manner in other circuitry of the
apparatus (not shown).

[0140] Further alternatively, the internal output coils 28a can
be connected together so as to provide more than one output
circuit (so long as sufficient energy is produced for use as
feedback to the sending coil 20 and for use in establishing
conditions favorable for producing abundant low-mass electrons).
The relative voltage(s) and current(s) of output power
alternatively can be varied by changing the ratio of the number
of turns in the energy-magnifying coils 24 to the number of
turns in the internal output coils 28a. Further alternatively,
the energy-magnifying coils 24 can be employed in a separate
manner to provide more than one energy-magnifying unit. Each
unit can comprise one or more energy-magnifying coils that can
serve its respective circuit of internal output coils.

[0141] The two conductors 36 connected to the external output
coil 28b can be connected to the internal output coils 28a or
can be used (without being connected to the external output
coils 28a) only with the external output coil 28b to provide an
independent output circuit (not shown). The two conductors 38
connected to the sending coil 20 are connected in the feed-back
loop 46 such that electron flow in the sending coil 20 is in the
same circular direction as in the internal output coils 28a.

[0142] FIG. 8 depicts yet another embodiment of the apparatus
15, in which each energy-magnifying coil 24 comprises a
respective thin film or thick film of a polycrystalline or other
suitable photoconductor deposited in a helical manner directly
onto a respective tubular substrate 40 desirably made of ceramic
or other suitable dielectric material. On each energy-magnifying
coil 24 the polycrystalline photoconductor is formed as a
helical band on the outside of the respective tubular substrate
40. The helical band of photoconductor can include a respective
thin film of metal embedded within. In certain cases, intercoil
connections between adjacent energy-magnifying coils 24 can be
made by extending the deposited photoconductor from the helices
to respective contact areas 44 situated at ends of the tubular
substrates 40 and extending toward contact areas 44 on adjacent
tubular substrates 40. Electrical contact between adjacent
energy-magnifying coils 24 is made under moderate pressure via
the contact areas 44, which are shown in FIG. 8. To distinguish
the individual contact areas 44, they are shown in a separated
position before being pressed together to make contact. To
maintain the integrity of the contact areas 44, the
energy-magnifying coils 24 can be held together in mutual
proximity by any of various non-metallic fasteners to make
continuous electrical contact between all the photoconductive
portions. For example, bolts 43 and nuts 45 made of a plastic
such as nylon or other dielectric material can be used. Another
variation is to maintain contact pressure of one coil to the
next by means of spring clips. Thus, in one embodiment, the
energy-magnifying coils 24 are connected so as to be in endless
contact with each other, with no capacitative break between
them. The remainder of the apparatus can be constructed in the
same manner as the photoconductor or doped-semiconductor
embodiment described above, wherein the same attention to the
direction of electron flow in respective coils is observed.

[0143] The coil configuration of yet another embodiment is
shown in schematic end-section views in FIGS. 9(A)-9(B). A
tubular substrate 40 supports a helical, thin-film or thick
film, dipole-type of energy-magnifying coil 24 that is nested
inside of, and coaxial with, a single external output coil 28b.
Nested inside the tubular substrate 40, and with respective axes
parallel to the axis of the tubular substrate 40, are a sending
coil 20 and an internal output coil 28a. The sending coil 20 and
the internal output coil 28a are disposed on opposite sides of a
reflective metallic separator 59. The separator 59 is
substantially parabolic in cross-section throughout its axial
extent, and is disposed so that the longitudinal edges of the
separator 59 are touching, or nearly touching, the tubular
substrate 40. The separator 59 can be comprised of a common,
non-magnetic metal such as aluminum or magnesium. The sending
coil 20 is positioned on the concave side of the separator 59,
with the axis of the sending coil 20 being positioned at the
geometric focus 60 of the parabola and disposed parallel to the
axis of the energy-magnifying coil 24. The energy-magnifying
coil 24 in this embodiment comprises a thin-film or thick-film
photoconductor formed helically on the tubular substrate 40. A
photoconduction exciter 26 is disposed inside the separator 59.
(The tubular substrate 40 is made of a rigid material that is
transparent to radiation produced by the photoconduction exciter
26.) All the other forms of the energy-magnifying coil 24 as
described herein, including the superconducting form, can be
employed in this embodiment.

[0144] The separator 59 serves a double purpose. One purpose is
to redirect toward the energy-magnifying coil 24 that portion of
the inductive-photon radiation 22 that is not otherwise directed
toward the separator, as shown by the reflected-photon rays 61
in FIG. 9(A). (Reflection of these radiated photons does not
change the directionality of the transverse force that these
photons convey.) Another purpose of the separator 59 is to serve
as a shield to restrict the amount of inward radiation 18b from
the energy-magnifying coil 24 that is returned as a back-force
to the sending coil 20. The restricted back-force radiation is
shown by the shaded area 63 in FIG. 9(B).

[0145] The portion of the inwardly directed, magnified
inductive-photon radiation 18b that is received by the internal
output coil 28a is denoted by the shaded area 65. The
proportional amount of outwardly directed magnified radiation
18a from the energy-magnifying coil 24 that is received by the
external output coil 28b is shown by the shaded area 67. The sum
of the magnified radiation in the area 65 that reaches the
internal output coil 28a and the magnified radiation in the area
67 that reaches the external output coil 28b substantially
exceeds the magnified radiation in the area 63 (the latter
serving as a back-force on the sending coil 20). This excess of
utilized energy over the back-force energy provides energy
leverage. This embodiment also includes a starting mechanism, an
initial power source for the photoconduction exciter, a work
loop, and a feed-back loop (not shown) as provided in the other
embodiments described herein.

[0146] Certain features can be incorporated with any of the
embodiments described herein to add functional practicality. For
example, referring to the schematic representation of a coil
configuration shown in end view in FIG. 10(A), a ferromagnetic
core 69 can be disposed inside the sending coil 20, and
ferromagnetic cores 71 can be disposed inside respective
internal output coils 28a. These cores increase the inductance
of the apparatus, which lowers the frequency of the electrical
oscillations produced by the apparatus. Although increases in
inductance can cause the output voltage and current to be out of
phase, the phase difference can be corrected by adding
capacitance to the circuitry by conventional means. Also shown
is an external metal shield that completely surrounds the
apparatus to block any radiation from the device that could
interfere with radios, televisions, telephones, computers, and
other electronic devices. The shield can be comprised of any of
various non-magnetic metals such as aluminum or magnesium.

[0147] An alternative means of increasing the inductance of the
apparatus is shown in FIG. 10(B), which is a variation of the
end view just of the sending coil 20 that is depicted in FIG.
10(A). In FIG. 10(B), a ferromagnetic sleeve 73 is disposed
coaxially around the sending coil 20.

[0148] The respective dimensional ratios of various components
generally remain similar with respect to each other for
different apparatus sizes, except for the longitudinal
dimension, which generally can be as short or long as desired up
to some practical limit. The respective gauges of wires used in
the sending coil 20 and the output coils 28a, 28b are
commensurate with the electric current carried by these wires,
and the respective thicknesses of insulation (if used) on the
wires are commensurate with the voltage.

[0149] The outside diameter of the internal output coils 28a
desirably is only slightly less than the inside diameter of the
respective energy-magnifying coils 24, as shown in FIGS. 6, 7,
and 8, thereby ensuring close proximity of each internal output
coil 28a with its respective energy-magnifying coil 24. At a
sacrifice in efficiency, the outside diameter of the internal
output coils 28a can be made smaller to allow space for heat
from the current-carrying wires to escape or be removed by a
coolant such as forced air, in the case of a photoconductor-type
or doped-semiconductor-type apparatus, or by a cryogenic
liquefied gas in the case of a superconductor-type apparatus.

[0150] Also desirably, the external output coil 28b is
connected in series with the internal output coils 28a to
maximize the output voltage from the apparatus 15 and to
minimize heat produced by the electric currents in the
apparatus. The output voltage can be stepped down and the output
electrical current can be stepped up to normal respective
operating ranges using a transformer, wherein the primary of the
transformer would comprise the load in the work loop 48.

[0151] As discussed above, each energy-magnifying coil 24 can
comprise a photoconductor or doped semiconductor formed as a
helical pattern on a respective thin-walled, tubular substrate
provided with extended, raised contact surfaces at each end. The
energy-magnifying coils 24 desirably are connected electrically
(rather than capacitatively) to each other in series at the
raised contact surfaces. The photoconductive coils desirably are
coated using clear varnish or enamel to provide electrical
insulation and to protect the photoconductors from oxidation and
weathering.

[0152] Where the low-mass photoconducting electrons in the
energy-multiplying coils 24 are present in a concentration that
is insufficient for capturing most of the inductive-photon
radiation from the sending coil 20, each energy-magnifying coil
desirably includes a very thin metallic band. The metal
desirably is in intimate contact with the low-mass-electron
carrier. The metal can be on the exterior of a doped
semiconductor, or it can be embedded in a photoconductor band of
the coil to capture the inductive radiation and set up an
electric field that, in turn, assists in accelerating the
low-mass electrons. In the photoconductive embodiment the
photoconductive material desirably is disposed all around the
metallic band so that the low-mass electrons are conducted on
the outer side as well as the inner side and edges of the
photoconductive band on the portion or portions that are exposed
to illumination on the outside. The width of the metal band
desirably is sufficient to capture as much of the
inductive-photon radiation from the sending coil as practical,
since gaps between turns of the metal band in the
energy-magnifying coil permit the sending coil's inductive
radiation to pass through to the internal output coil. Since the
sending-coil's radiation is a half-cycle out of phase with the
inductive radiation from the low-mass electrons, all the
sending-coil radiation that reaches the output coil reduces the
output efficiency of the apparatus.

[0153] Appropriate photoconductive materials (e.g., cadmium
sulfide, cadmium selenide) for forming the energy-magnifying
coils 24 are commercially available. The photoconductive
material can be a single material or a mixture of materials, and
can be formed by, for example, sputtering. A mixture of cadmium
sulfide and cadmium selenide can be adjusted optimally to yield
energy-magnifying coils exhibiting maximal energy-magnifying
factors at a peak wavelength matching the brightest
photoconduction exciters 26 that are available.

[0154] With respect to the photoconduction exciters 26,
photo-excitation of the energy-magnifying coils 24 can be
provided by one or more light-emitting diodes (LEDs; either
surface-emitting or edge-emitting), for example, selected to
produce an output wavelength matched to the peak photoconduction
wavelength of the energy-magnifying coils 24. In the embodiments
of FIGS. 7 and 10(A), individual LEDs 26 are disposed in linear
arrays mounted back-to-back on respective mounting bars. The
assembled mounting bars with LEDs are disposed in the gaps
between adjacent energy-magnifying coils 24 to illuminate at
least the sides of the respective energy-magnifying coils 24
that receive inductive-photon radiation from the sending coil
20. LEDs are advantageous compared to incandescent lamps because
LEDs produce more light with less heat than incandescent lamps,
and have much longer operational lifetimes than incandescent
lamps. LEDs also are preferred because of their small size,
which facilitates fitting a large number of them into the
relatively small space between adjacent energy-magnifying coils
24.

[0155] Whereas the invention has been described in connection
with several representative embodiments, the invention is not
limited to those embodiments. On the contrary, the invention is
