Hans Coler's Free-Energy Generators Coler's Hans Generators Free-Energy The low-technology magnet-based devices developed by German inventor Hans Coler in the 1920s are worthy of redevelopment by ‘free-energy’ researchers today. mmediately after World War II, Allied technical teams plundered all the scientific data they could find in Germany. Much of what they learned remains classified to this day. One most remarkable exception to this secrecy is the declassified British Intelligence Objectives Subcommittee (BIOS) Final Report No. 1043, Item 32: "The Invention of Hans Coler Relating to an Alleged New Source of Power" (see extract below). Coler was interviewed by R. Hurst (Ministry of Supply) and Capt. R. Sandberg (Norwegian Army): [Naval Captain] Hans Coler is the inventor of two devices by which it is alleged that electric energy may be derived without a chemical or mechanical source of power. Since an official interest was taken in his inventions by the German Admiralty it was felt that an investigation was warranted, although normally it would be considered that such a claim could only be fraudulent... Accordingly, Coler was visited and interrogated. He proved to be cooperative and willing to discuss all details of his devices, and consented to build and put into operation a small model of the so-called Magnetstromapparat [Magnet Current Apparatus]... With this device, consisting only of permanent magnets, copper coils and con- densers in a static arrangement, he showed that he could obtain a tension of 450 mv for several hours... One model is said to have worked for three months locked in a room in the Norwegian Legation in Berlin in 1933... The greatest ten- sion obtained was 12 volts. Coler also invented another device called the Stromzeuger (Current Generator). He claimed that "with an input of a few watts from a dry battery, an output of 6 kW could be obtained indefinitely". The last and largest model which Coler built was destroyed by a bomb in 1945, but "Coler expressed his willingness to construct it, given the materials, the time required being about three weeks". The public version of the BIOS report does not state whether or not this was done. However, Bill Lehr (d. 1996) informed this writer that a close friend of his once saw a Stromzeuger in operation in the offices of MIS in London, and a copy of the original BIOS report which is over 200 pages in length. The declassi- fied report is a mere 30 pages long. Hurst and Sandberg also interviewed Dr F. Modersohn who had collaborated with Coler and financed his research for 10 years. He corroborated every detail of Coler's story. The Magnetstromapparat was developed by Coler and von Unruh (who had died by 1945), and they were assisted by Franz Haid of Siemens-Schukert. Haid also built a working model which was seen in operation by Dr Kurt Mie (Technical College of Berlin), and Herr Fehr who was the assistant of the renowned scientist Fritz Haber. The Magnetstromapparat was described thus: This device consists of six permanent magnets wound in a special way so that the circuit includes the magnet itself as well as the winding (fig. 1). These six magnet-coils are arranged in a hexagon and connected as shown in the diagram (figs. 2 & 3) in a circuit which includes two small condensers, a switch and a pair of solenoid coils, one sliding inside the other. To bring the device into operation the switch is left open, the magnets are moved slightly apart, and the sliding coil set into various positions with a wait of several minutes between adjustments. The magnets are then separated still further and the coils moved again. This process is repeated until at a critical separation an indication appears on the voltmeter. The switch is now closed, and the procedure is continued more slowly. The tension then builds up gradually to a maximum and should then remain indefinitely.
