Motionless electromagnetic generator

The motionless electromagnetic generator (MEG) is a device which has been claimed to have demonstrated over-unity operation. The principal inventor is Thomas Bearden. Allegedly, the device can eventually sustain its operation in addition to powering a load without application of external electrical power. The inventors claim that it works by extracting energy from the vacuum, and therefore does not violate the First Law of Thermodynamics. The claimed physical mechanism is not considered possible and Bearden's theories are not supported by the scientific community at large. The MEG has never been independently verified and there is no known working prototype. One sceptic pointed out that the device strongly resembles a standard transformer, with the exception of a permanent magnet and two actuator coils being included in the design. Bearden has made predictions and claims about the development and commercial production of the MEG, which appear to have failed to manifest. Thomas E. Bearden Bearden is a retired Lieutenant colonel from the U.S. Army. He has publicly identified himself as "Ph.D." and claims he received a doctorate for "life experience and for life accomplishment" from "Trinity College", which is widely considered to be a diploma mill. AIAS Group Bearden has been the program manager of an institute called AIAS (the Alpha Foundation's Institute for Advanced Study). A collection of papers by the AIAS Group that were published by an institute titled the "Institute of New Energy", included Bearden's theories related to the MEG. One analysis of the theories put forward by the AIAS Group describes them as "full of misconceptions and misunderstandings concerning the theory of the electromagnetic field."
