NEW INVENTION POINTS TOWARDS FREE ENERGY NEW RECORD SET FOR MAGNETIC FIELD STRENGTH Researchers at the University of Houston Institute for Beam Particle Dynamics, and the Texas Center for Superconductivity, have announced that they have broken the world record for magnetic field strength. Their research has created a supercon- ducting magnet with a measured field strength of nearly 40,000 gauss. The old world record, which had stood for 19 years, was 23,000 gauss. Electromagnets used in magnetic reso- nance imaging operate in the 20,000 gauss range. The magnet, about the size of a quar- ter (which is the size of an Australian 10-cent piece), is composed of a mix- ture of ytterbium, barium, and copper oxide, which is grown into flat crystals. The crystals are bombarded with radia- tion in a cyclotron at Indiana University and then attached together, about eight crystals thick, with rubber cement, The magnet has no magnetic force at room temperature, but when chilled to 64.5° Kelvin it becomes a superconducting mannat STRANGE VIBES FROM USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT Visitors aboard the carrier USS Researcher Neville Salmond, of Theodore Roosevelt, flagship of a fleet Upper Sturt in South Australia, has patrolling the Adriatic on Bosnian alert, taken a significant step toward finding a found themselves in trouble recently free, non-polluting, inexhaustible, con- because of mysterious electronic vibra- _ stantly available and universally distrib- tions. uted energy source.

Physicist Roy Weinstein, who works on the research team, told the 29 April Houston Chronicle that the technology “could lead to dramatic improvements in large electric motors”. He said that the magnet has been used to make a small electric motor which produces about one-tenth of a horsepower. He is hoping that further work will produce a motor with 50 horsepower or more.

It is also evident how vulnerable such devices are, and that they can be made to fail by inducing, in wires to which the device is connected, a voltage sufficiently large to cause breakdown.
