    "concept_summary": "The device consists of a rotating permanent-magnet assembly positioned inside a high-inductance coil. A mechanical commutator (brushes and contacts) switches the coil current at precise angular positions, timing the firing pulse when the rotating magnet is at 90 deg  to the coil axis. This timing is claimed to extract magnetic field energy, producing high-efficiency torque in motor mode or strong back-EMF for electricity generation in generator mode.",
