Findings

  • 68 URLs captured in 2017. The home page holds only "Welcome to GrahamGunderson.com!" (capture of 30 Dec 2017) [web] https://web.archive.org/web/20171230195107/http://grahamgunderson.com/
  • /ou/ is a sales letter signed by Gunderson and dated 14 Jan 2018 (footer "Copyright 2016 - A & P Electronic Media") [web] https://web.archive.org/web/20180115005940/http://grahamgunderson.com/ou
  • It describes him as "One of the few full-time Breakthrough Energy researchers who specializes in verifying other inventors' energy claims though multiple stages of advanced integrated power analysis techniques".
  • It repeats the "two patents were granted" and verified Floyd-Sweet-like EV-charging system statements (see the emediapress notes).
  • On Floyd Sweet: "For almost 20 years, I have spent countless hours studying Floyd Sweet's VTA (Vacuum Triode Amplifier) ... real experiments on my bench show me that there is some truth to Floyd Sweet's claims."
  • "Barium Ferrite magnets can be programmed to resonate at specific frequencies. When they do this, their magnetic field is actually moving because of the intrinsic instability in the barium atom."
  • "Imagine having a magnet whose field can move, even though the magnet stays still ... Part of the force propelling its field to move is taken from the ambient energy that is all around us."
  • It describes a magnet "that can cock itself like a trigger on a gun ... this 'cocking' action happens all by itself from nothing more than ambient energy".
  • It calls the "motional magnetic field ... the common denominator to some legitimate technologies that actually do demonstrate overunity performance".
  • A second 59-minute ESTC 2015 talk, "Floyd Sweet's VTA", is listed.

Bearing on the claims

  • Claim 1 ("virtual motion" of a permanent magnet's field) is the same principle in the inventor's later words. Here he states the energy source explicitly as "ambient energy". The 2006 patent instead named the permanent magnets as the source, "until demagnetized".
  • This gives a direct link to Floyd Sweet's VTA (priority 3, related work).
