Perepiteia is claimed to be a new generator developed by the Canadian inventor Thane Heins. The device is named after the Greek word for peripety, a dramatic reversal of circumstances or turning point in a story. The device was quickly attributed the term "perpetual motion machine" by several media outlets. Due to the long history of hoaxes and failures of perpetual motion machines and the incompatibility of such a device with accepted principles of physics, Heins' claims about Perepiteia have been treated with considerable skepticism. In 2003, Heins filed a patent application in Canada but no patent was granted.〔(CIPO - Patent application 2437745 - Administrative Status )〕 Heins also founded Potential Difference Inc, the website of which contains a series of videos of the inventor demonstrating the machine.〔http://www.g9toengineering.com/backemf/demonstration.htm〕 Heins has recently stated that he is unsure whether or not the machine really produces energy, but in communications with science writer David Bradley of ScienceBase, Heins made claims of up to 7000% efficiency for a bi-toroidal transformer.〔(Free energy with magnetic reluctance )〕 Heins, who reportedly works 8–12 hours a day on the Perepiteia, insists that it is viable and that "This technology should be mainstream."〔(The next great Canadian idea: Peripiteia generator ) by Sharda Prashad, Canadian Business magazine, July 11, 2008. (retrieved on January 3, 2009).〕 ==Theory== Mechanically, the device appears to be an induction motor with a magnetic material placed inside the rotor core.〔(Beam Me Up - Science & Science Fiction news: Thane Heins' Perepiteia device )〕 Heins believes that the device's potential may rest in its atypical manipulation of the back electromotive force (back EMF). A more detailed description of the device may be found in the patent application, minus supporting figures.〔 The apparent unique quality of the Perepiteia machine is that instead of maintaining a certain state of motion, it appears to generate acceleration. According to Heins, the Perepiteia produces magnetic friction which somehow gets turned into a magnetic boost. Using an electric motor, the drive shaft is attached to a steel rotor with small round magnets lining its outer edges. In this set-up of a simple generator, the rotor spins so that the magnets pass by a wire coil just in front of them, generating electrical energy. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Perepiteia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
