This looks to be a variation of the Farady Disk generator.
This was discovered, and promptly ignored, about 150 years ago.

It is a very strange phenomenon, and easy to really get tangled up in
the implications of it.

Basically, all common generators, and motors, use a rotor and a
stator. The electrical load currents will create an opposing magnetic
force between the rotor and the stator.
That is why a genreator takes more power as you load it heavier.

The Farady Disk, aka homopolar generator, aka acyclical generator, aka
space machine etc. does not have a rotor, and a stator. Only a rotor.
That's right, only a rotor. The whole things works "sideways" to how
you always thought a generator should work.
It is Very confusing to think about, since adding a load to the
generator cannot create a torque reaction in the conventional way we
all understand generators to work. Note 1.

So, many experimentors start thinking, that if we build it, and spin
it up, we can add a load to it, and it won't take power to keep it
spinning, since it won't react against the motor driving it.

Experiments show anomolous results, and building a model to play with
is truely trivial.
I challenge any of you to build a model to prove that it IS confusing
to think about.

Here is a simple experiment to try..

Here is a test result of the Sunburst Machine.

This nullgrav machine looks very much like a variation of the Farady
disk experiment.


And to illustrate just how confusing this sort of thing can be...
Here is a lab demonstration from MIT, that WILL blow your mind, if
you follow it, and all of it's implication. It blows Kirchoff right
out of the water. ..

Watch both parts of this demo. Prof. Levin is really amazing.... Look
for the rest of his lectures.

Have Fun. !!

Note 1.
The operation of the device can lead you to believe that a magnet
cannot "produce" a magnetic field, but can only distort the magnetic
field lines inherent on space itself.
If a magnet did produced a magnetic field, than rotating a magnet, and
a conductor together could not produce any net electrical generation.
However, if the magnet is distorting the feild lines of the
surrounding space, then a moving conductor (which is not moving
relative to the magnet) can produce an electric field.


I don't beleive in "Perpetual Commotion" But, here is a wonderful trap
for the unwary to fall in to, and in all honesty be completley
befuddled.
Be sure and wathc the MIT video. It's is one of the greatest
electrical demonstrations I've ever seen.
