Quantum Energy Generator (QEG) Open Sourced (by HopeGirl)

Would a tape wound core work in this application? I understand there are articulations in the center ring, but maybe there are ways around this. The tooling cost would probably be a lot less than a custom die or laser cut laminations. Tapewound cores are often used in large Variacs and toroidal power transformers.

How much does the core weigh?

My first QEG using material that I had in my shop... Now I will test it in my motionless version.
The weigh is 40 pounds, diameter 11 inches,

Yes but infinity is a useful mathematical and analytical concept. 
The word does not warrant a knee-jerk rejection without consideration of the context in which it was used.

Why should I use restrict my usage of the phrase "infinite current" if it can be used to show the absurdity of some situations, such as EMF in zero-resistance loop ?
Did you ever hear about the fine debating technique Reductio ad Absurdum ?

I didn't say you should restrict it, I said you should consider it. I would say that many people on here are not engineers and some would take it literally that there is infinite current. I just thought it might be a good idea to consider modifying the way it is used. People can do as they please and they will, including myself. I probably should have said it might be helpful to add that these values are theoretically impossible.

It is impossible to approach infinity or to have infinite current. Am I wrong? Maybe just adding the word theoretically could help.

I tried adding clamp on pole pieces to a tape wound core and abandoned it since we only got 8% variation in inductance.  Let me know how you do with your mode.  A pic of my core is attached.

Then you might try this one in the left:

The bifilar coils F are electromagnets in Tesla patent. The coils E are generator coils. The "a" is iron on 90 degrees to the magnet. The electromagnets are for redirecting Lenz force around the ring instead of magnet. Also the rotor is very close to coils.
I assume if to keep balance you can have 0 reaction to magnet and electromagnets will help to spin rotor there...

Is that a toroidal core with pole pieces bolted on?

You should find that the inductance varies greatly with current.   You'd have to put some power through the thing to see the self-inductance drop as the power goes up, or maybe less to see a greater difference.
