Magnetic Power Modules™ on fast path to market
Early production of demonstration devices anticipated for
2006. Prototypes said to demonstrate more output than input.
Independent testing planned.

SEBASTAPOL, CALIFORNIA, USA -- Magnetic Power,
Inc., which claims to have figured out how to harness the organized motion
of subatomic particles responsible for the force of magnetism, has
announced that steps are being taken to enable early release of
demonstration versions of their Magnetic Power Modules.
MPI reports that their prototypes have demonstrated more output than
input. Once their in-house testing has ascertained that this over-unity
effect is consistent and beyond possible measurement error, an independent
lab has agreed to undertake testing to validate the work.
A pending patent application entitled Solid-State Electric Generator
will be published by the U.S. Patent Office in late July.
While these early demonstration units will produce only a few Watts, the
company says that units of this type of Magnetic Power Module can be
combined in a manner analogous to photovoltaic cells. The resulting
generators will range from prototype pre-manufacturing single-module
demonstration devices, which are to be released later this year, to
multiple modules and various combinations capable of yielding more power,
which could be in production by next year.
Units capable of generating electricity for individual homes will be an
early target market of the company, with automotive power being another
priority. Distributed generation of electricity for industry will follow.
MPI envisions that eventually enough modules could be linked together to
produce a Megawatt, or more, for power plants.
Conversion of utility type transformers into generators is another part of
their commercialization vision. MPI plans to acquire 3 kva transformers,
which they believe they will be able to convert into generators with no
moving parts. The resulting 1 to 1.5 kW units are expected to be about the
size of a microwave oven.
1,500 Watts is the standard rating for plug-in electric household heaters.
MPI envisions a strong market for appliances that have a self-contained
power source.
For example, during grid power failures, frozen and fresh produce can be
lost. So one application that those who license the technology might
pursue is to develop refrigerators with internal power capability for
trucks, grocery vendors and home use.
The company plans to develop optimized designs with cooperating
manufacturers, which will reduce the size and weight of this type of
Magnetic Power Module.
If all goes as planned, among the first Demonstration Devices produced by
the company will be at least one solid-state system and one system having
moving parts. With sufficient funds, the company expects that their entire
commercialization program will become an around-the-clock effort.
Automotive demonstrations of MPI power offer new hope for consumers and
industry alike. MPI is considering various demonstration prototypes. One
is likely to be modification of a plug-in hybrid -- substituting Magnetic
Power Modules for the grid connector.
Strategic Partner discussions, to accelerate development and produce MPI’s
Modules, are under way worldwide. Early production in several countries
now appears likely.
As a result of the introduction of these demonstration models, the company
expects that the price of oil could conceivably drop as markets absorb the
reality of a near-term alternative. "The elimination of the need for
fossil or nuclear fuels now appears to be on the horizon, along with
slowing and perhaps reversal of Greenhouse Warming."
That optimistic outlook may be tempered by the realities of consumer
skepticism that must be overcome with the introduction of such a
revolutionary approach to energy. Most will want to wait until the
bugs are ironed out and the technology has some longevity before they buy
into the concept.
