No, he using maganets to turn the generator. Like a wind turbine, but magnets are the wind. And free energy isn't the right word to use for this, maybe renewable energy. Look up vendi gate, there even a well know physics professor backing the claim that it will work. Anyone ever rode the. Hulk in Orlando or the built train in japan, both run off magnates, although I'm sure they are electromagnets rare earth can be just as strong.

No.  "Dr" Peter Linemann is a well known kook who has serious problems about how electricity and magnetism works. All of his "discoveries", as far as people were able to replicate, turned out to be false.

I've never heard of that so I guess it could be possible, but something still doesn't seem to be quite right about this situation.

you should really learn basic college physics, before you make or support outlandish claims, particularly ones that can be disproven in a Freshman lab experiment.

Lol just basic high school physics should cover it.

I've done a lot of studies on free energy and do you want to know something strange? Most of the perpetual motion machines out there could actually generate energy if they were frictionless (and oriented correctly). Without breaking any basic laws can you figure out how that works?

Magnets?

Free energy isn't really a possibility, per say, but one just needs to consider the viability of energy that one hasn't considered in quite a while. It was in the late 60s and early 70s that the Americans considered a type of nuclear power that involved Thorium-232, one of the most common materials on the planet. Research ended because Uranium was more efficient and could be used to create nuclear weaponry. Thorium can't be turned into weapons, requires less space and doesn't have quite the same hazards to it.

A couple of links:

There are almost no other power sources on the planet besides oil and nuclear that can supply the needs of the growing population and oil won't last forever. If you want plenty of energy, at least slightly closer to free, Thorium might be the best bet.

This is what I was going to point out since from a purely physical perspective, there is no such thing as "free" energy.

From an economic perspective, I don't see what is stopping you from just installing solar panels all over your house and convert solar evergy to eletricity. Of course you'd have to take efficiency and weather into account, but if it works there's your "free" energy.

Measure the current flow as well as the voltage. You'll find that (in a lossless setup) that as the voltage doubles, the current halves.

It's like those connectors on hoses that increase pressure but decrease flow accordingly. It's not free energy.

Back in 11th grade I found a "loop hole" in generating free energy and as it turns out most of these gravity wheels actually could work because of it. Their designers believe falling creates more energy than being lifted but in reality if the wheel is positioned normal to north and south the balls actually gain energy by slowing down the Earth's rotation. Granted this is a very very very very small amount of energy but in a frictionless world it would be recordable.
