Searl Effect Generator

The Searl Effect Generator (SEG), invented by John Searl, is claimed to be an "open system energy converting device" which is "capable of converting ambient sources of energy to electrical power with a corresponding drop in air and device temperature". The existence of an "open system energy converting device" violates the first law and the second law of thermodynamics. The inventor claimed that his last working SEG was confiscated in 1982.
Operation
The device is described as a generator made of four distinct material layers for both stator and rotor in sets of three stages. It is said to function with same principles as a linear motor (induction) with multi-phase rollers riding on a magnetic bearing.
According to Searl's own accounts when he first activated his device, the rollers (rotors) began to spin around the plate (stator), generating a charge-pumping action of electron pairs on to the open circuit configuration. He further said that at threshold speed, the device maintained its rotation with no additional energy input from the peripheral electromagnets as the generator converted ambient sources of energy for drive with the generated electrical currents.
It is also said that when the device achieves superconductivity
History
Searl claims to have conducted his initial experimental research and development from 1946 to 1956, when he was an apprentice employee of BR Rewinds at Grays Inn Road, London. There he gained permission to use the company's facilities and technical resources to make the device. In December 1946, with all of the magnetic components manufactured to his specifications, he assembled the generator in his residence at 30 Crawley Rd, Haringey, London, UK. He claims that the initial prototypes worked, but flew off through the roof.
In 1991 Anders Heerfordt tried to verify various claims made by Searl regarding the history and loss of Searl's devices. Heerfordt was unable to find witnesses who had seen the SEG or IGV machines operating. Searl claims that his earlier work was destroyed in a house fire, but Heerfordt did not find any evidence of such a fire.
Searl and his supporters point to various documents that back their claims, but the origin of these documents is unknown. For example, it is claimed that Gunnar Sandberg wrote a paper about the device, but Sandberg is reported as saying that none of the claimed effects were demonstrated to him by Searl, only some magnetics were shown. Heerfordt also reports that Sandberg located one of Searl's sons "who had seen disks being suspended from wires, so that they could be photographed, but who hadn't seen any demonstration of antigravity or free energy."
In 2000, the journal Technical Physics Letters published a paper by V. V. Roschin and S. M. Godin of the Institute for High Temperatures, Russian Academy of Science, but the authenticity of the paper from Roschin and Godin cannot be verified. The webpage of the Russian Academy of Sciences does not list the authors or the paper.
In 2004 it was reported that the paper from Roschin/Godin is a forgery, created to support a fraud. The editors of Technical Physics Letters apologized for publishing it, saying the Academy was, in fact, unrelated to the Roschin/Godin paper, and the device had never been in the Institute.
Robert A. Nelson of Rex Research, Jean, NV, claims to have been John Searl's "Superintendent of Documents" in the late 1960s. Nelson published photos of Searl's attempt to construct a "Levity Disc" and "photos of a model that used to generate fake composite photos (with the help of a newspaper photographer) to illustrate some newspaper articles of the period," but says, "This is not to imply that Searl is a fraud," and, Searl "has been suppressed by his government and others," apparently confirming Searl's claim of being a victim of free energy suppression.
Searl also claims to have had his house powered from one of his SEG devices. However, press reports indicate that instead he bypassed the electric meter. Searl was subsequently convicted of stealing electricity and damaging the property of the electricity company. He then engaged in a vendetta against the electricity company.
Searl claims that the electric company confiscated his home SEG, which incited him to threaten the electric company. According to Searl's own account, a colleague of Searl's, Dr. George White, was aware of the home SEG. Searl claims that White saw the device working when he showed up against instructions.
