Leads for review
1. The inventor's own work
- Guidelines v2.7 original (Word export, 25 Feb 2016) on hyiq.org; better text layer than the project copy. v2.5 exists on academia.edu/docslib (not read). Bears on all claims (version history). [web] https://www.hyiq.org/Downloads/Guidelines%20to%20Bucking%20Coils.pdf
- overunity.com thread 15395 (16 Jan 2015 on), 514+ pages: Sykes's first public statement of claims 1-2 ("Lenz's Law is ONLY apparent when Current is drawn ... So Energy is not Generated at all! It was already there!"; "Loose Coupling is a requirement"; "3 configurations to work"). Device videos dated about 2010-11 and about 2012-13 by his own account. [web] Wayback link above.
- 2014 hyiq.org update: "Input is 1 Watt (5V 200ma) ... Globe ... rated at 12V 300ma (3.6 Watt) ... I am getting slightly more Output than this. This Generator is Lenz-Less." One numeric in/out statement (claims 1, 4).
- aboveunity.com "Non-Inductive Coil Experiment" (2019-2026): three-coil, two-diode, 10% duty "Asymmetrical Regauging" build (12 V, 400 mA input; output "some data off screen"), 7 videos, tagged ABOVE-UNITY by the forum. Later form of claims 1 and 4; Sykes also says one can do this "and still be Below-Unity".
- 2020 Builders Group recipe (overunity.com 18464): benchmark in transformer mode at ~80% efficiency and count anything above as gain; "Input can become Negative!" (claim 4).
- Sykes on Sweet conditioning (2025): rejects Bearden's magnet conditioning as "nonsense", says the VTA used "Asymmetrical Electromagnetic Induction" (claim 5).
2. Supporting information by others (and tests reported by others)
- dewetw (aboveunity, 30 Oct 2019): built the three-coil circuit on an N87 ferrite core, reproduced the sawtooth waveform, "never saw any result where I am getting more than about 0.82 COP". Documented in one forum post with photos; Sykes's reply did not dispute the figure. Bears on claims 1 and 4.
- patrick1 (aboveunity, 23 Oct 2019): replication "successful of course, but thats because it isnt OU". Bears on claim 4.
- Itsu replication, overunityresearch.com topic 3951 (2020): called "failed" by Sykes, who lists load 6 V 0.6 W, unknown coil length, "less than a basic Transformer Efficiency". Itsu's data are behind a login; Sykes's account of it is the only one read. Bears on claims 1 and 4. High priority to obtain Itsu's own posts or videos.
- Partzman critique (2020): Sykes's schematic diodes reversed relative to his own scope traces; L1's stored energy must return to the supply; check scope math mean vs RMS. Sykes's 2019 measurement thread shows the RMS-vs-mean issue on a 0.25 ohm shunt (59.5 W vs 17.1 W). Bears on the measurement basis of claim 4.
- MileHigh (overunity.com, 16 Jan 2015): names an "alleged COP 1.7 device" and lists what data are missing from the PDF. Bears on claim 4; the COP 1.7 statement itself not yet found in Sykes's words.
- Tinman (2015, quoted by Sykes): "a bucking coil arrangement dose indeed add energy to a system" in his mechanical motors/generators. Second-hand quote; original not read. Bears on claims 1, 6.
3. Closely related work
- Floyd Sweet primary texts on hyiq.org: lab-note transcription (Roberts, 1986), "Letter to Mark from Sparky" (source of the p.17 "duty factor" quote that the deep read found uncited), "Nothing is Something" (24 Jun 1988; E = (BxV) + (-Bx-V) = 2(BxV)). Claims 3 and 5.
- Sweet & Bearden, IECEC 1991 (Boston), "Utilizing Scalar Electromagnetics to Tap Vacuum Energy"; Rosenthal VTA notes; weight-reduction test account (rexresearch). Claim 5.
- Koenig US4806834A (1987/1989): two mirror-image coils on a magnetizable bar. Claim 5.
- Others named by Sykes after 2016: Melnichenko "Generator on nonlinear inductance" (Russian PDF), Kapanadze, Akula, Don Smith, MEG team "asymmetrical regauging", Graham Gunderson, Jensen UDT via Toby Grotz, George I. Cohn on induction, Figuera 1908 patent principle, Wiegand wire US3820090 (as a threshold-switching analogue raised by a forum member). Claims 1 and 5.
4. Historical record
- Sweet 1986 lab notes: first observed 19 May 1986, demonstrated 24 May 1986 3 pm, witnesses Mark Goldes and Darryl Roberts; tests 4 and 6 June 1986; "105,000 x - 111,000 x Gain" and "Gain of 200,000 rectified"; instruments Beckman and Keithley meters. Scans came to Sykes from "an anonymous source" with pages missing (Sykes's account). Next: find the scans themselves, and any record from Mark Goldes's companies (Magnetic Power Inc., later Sky Ship / Chava Energy) [memory, medium: Goldes was Sweet's backer at Magnetic Power Inc.].
- Absence-of-evidence item: overunity.com, the forum where the 514+ page thread lived, is now a domain for sale and its archive is paywalled (overunityarchives.com). The record of the 2015-2021 replication debate is going dark. Competing explanations: forum owner's commercial decision (paywall), hosting lapse, or deliberate removal. Evidence so far: the archive site says it is "Now Open for Paid Subscribed Members Only" (commercial); nothing found pointing to removal. Wayback holds partial snapshots; a full CDX listing of topic 15395/18464 would show how much survives.
- Sykes's own account of suppression: aboveunity.com home page: "We have been DEPLATFORMED by everyone"; "PayPal De-Platformed me! They REFUSE to tell me why!" (interested party; no other source checked).
