Interlude, drinks and popcorn are available at the confectionary desk.

Yes , this is difficult , to sell "free energy (machines)" .....

This must "eat" Oil  !!
than it can be sale!

Heins is focused on showing his invention to anybody willing to see it

Anybody live in or near Ottawa

oops, missed that the article was past tense

This quote is interesting...

Contacted by phone a few hours after the test, Zahn is genuinely stumped ? and surprised. He said the magnet shouldn't cause acceleration. "It's an unusual phenomena I wouldn't have predicted in advance. But I saw it. It's real. Now I'm just trying to figure it out."

[slapper]

I'm not sure I like how the paragraph above the previously quoted one reads:

He holds a permanent magnet a few centimetres away from the driveshaft of an electric motor, and the magnetic field it creates causes the motor to accelerate.

It's worth a trip if someone is nearby

From the article:

Others want to believe ? or at least help out. Cunningham, whose brother is general manager at Angus Glen Golf Club, introduced Heins to the club's president, Kevin Thistle. For two years Thistle has acted as angel investor, providing start-up capital needed to incorporate Potential Difference, file patents and continue research.

Does anyone have  a link for the patent(s)?

edit:  I found the patent.  CIPO isn't as user friendly as the USPO in the states.  They claim to not provide images because they were "unscanable".  Lame.

They scan text into a graphic but can't scan a drawing into a graphic.

I found this, but oddly there seems to be missing information

?Credibility, after all, can't be invented. It must be earned.?
Imho that?s the right attitude! (And the first elementary check is passed so far.)
Based on such grounds, I assume the inventor might want to come here and earn some credibility.
If the group agrees, who?s going to invite?

Cheers,
Tinu

From my somewhat limited research so far, I get the feeling he may not be interested, he has achieved his goal of getting someone with credibility to look at it and confirm its operation.

anyone got any contact details for his company - can't find a web site.

[Bessler007]

I just emailed my phone number to Professor Zahn.  Maybe he'll call or email something back.

edit:  his resume is 32 pages.   wow.

. . . Thane Heins, of Potential Difference Inc, contacted me recently with the claim that he and his company have developed a device based on a bi-toroid transformer prototype that in tests proved to be 7000% efficienta bi-toroid transformer prototype.

"Your claims seem to violate the law of conservation of energy and Maxwell?s equations of electro-magnetics.?

Heins talks of how the technology is ?Based on the unique theory of leveraging back EMF and upsetting the power balancing mutual coupling coefficients?, his company has apparently ?developed and produced an operational transformer which exceeds 100% efficiency.?

?For a transformer the Law of Conservation of Energy can ONLY APPLY if mutual coupling exists from the secondary back to the primary. The Bi-Toroid diagram shows how this cannot happen and how the Law of Conservation of Energy is violated by simply employing Lenz?s Law and Maxwell?s Equations and controlling flux path magnetic reluctance.? Magnetic reluctance is the analogous phenomenon of electrical resistance, but unlike electrical resistance consumes no energy.

Heins adds that he and his colleagues ?have coupling from the primary to the secondary. The reluctance flux path in the secondary is lower because either the secondary core area is greater or because we employ core material with a higher relative permeability which results in a decrease in reluctance. When the secondary reluctance is lower - back EMF induced flux from secondary coil 1 must follow the path of least reluctance into secondary 2 and not back to the primary. The primary operates only at magnetizing current levels (reactive current only) and does not draw any non-reactive current from the source. The law of conservation of energy for a transformer requires secondary back EMF to be able to mutually couple back to the primary - but if this flux path is higher it will not be able to do so.?

I live a couple of hours away and just read this in the morning paper.
