Magnetic OU principle, You should really take a look at this !

[Butch LaFonte]

So from the video, there is a great difference in reluctance from when the washers are closed verses when they are open.  The claim at the beginning of this thread is wrong and that moving the washers into the field when they are closed is much weaker from when they are allowed to open.

Yes, but it works out that is great for the design that has the washers in sliding contact when moving back together. It adds a second overunity element to the design.

That's a very interesting design but I don't like how you have to pull it apart.  There has to be a better solution.  I can't think of anything at the moment though.

Pull what apart? The elements (washers) repel each other and work can be done with that repulsion force.
I have rotary designs on this principle on the web also.

In the video you show the washers in contact with two pieces of iron.  You pull the iron away from the washers.  But nevermind I get it, pretty cool indeed.

Have a look at thi

A good site hosted on A just got removed the authors were Magluvin and second Gotoluc.

Search on google their youtube channel still exists.  http://www.youtube.com/user/Magluvin

A long vortex coil coil with twin windings are shown and generate good result yet small unlike 2SGEN nicely made by Naudin.  http://jnaudin.free.fr/2SGen/indexen.htm
My idea would be to:

Using a one metre soft iron wire wound with a copper winding all along and then made into a spiral should become an ideal wall between two magnets and a coil to generate a variable magnetic field in a coil to generate current. passing a square wave at high frequeny will give great results like Naudin should work and setup will be cheap.
