Turning physics on its ear
It's a pivotal moment. The invention, at its very least, could moderately improve the efficiency of induction motors, used in everything from electric cars to ceiling fans. At best it means a way of tapping the mysterious powers of electromagnetic fields to produce more work out of less effort, seemingly creating electricity from nothing.

Don't want to be the one to burst the bubble, but it's not the first (and I'm guessing the last) to "invent" a perpetual motion machine. Invariably they have been proven to be either mistakes or hoaxes. Especially when they make comments like:

"What's preventing the engineer from grasping it right away, he says, is his education, his scientific training"

If it's too good to be true, it probably is.
