The effect of high speed rotating magnets, together with the 'tunnel diode' action of the composite ring (or plate, as he describes it) pulls electrons from the inner ring to the outer one, causing the rollers to move faster, & generating 12^12 volts.
That's a 12 followed by 12 zeroe's, or 12 Gigavolts.
If this was Another Troll Site, we would have some redneck asking me "what's a jigger volt, dude?" so i think we all know what Mega, Giga, Micro are, Raymond posted a very nice chart on S.I. units here, these are also derived from dimensional analysis....Take heed, grasshoppers, there will be questions later LOL....

The Searl Effect Generator (SEG) is a magnetic diode, and what one may consider one of the original "Free Energy" Devices. The inventor of the technology is Professor John Robert Roy Searl of England. The SEG in essence is a composite ring made of an electron reservoir (a rare earth like Neodymium), a magnetized accelerator stage (Iron or Nickel), an electron flow regulator stage (Nylon 66 or Teflon), and finally, a paramagnetic layer (Aluminium or Copper). The design of the SEG is both beautifully simple and infuriatingly complex at the same time.BIOGRAPHY

QuoteThe craft pictured here are Inverse Gravity Vehicles (IGVs), of which 41 prototypes were built, and one large version was constructed, the DEMO-1, in 1968. The smaller craft were the P series IGVs, approximately 11 feet in diameter and weighing a few tonnes. DEMO-1 was 21 feet in diameter and weighed 11 tonnes. You can see it flying here below...
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/igvflight.jpg)
QuoteInside each of these IGVs there is a powerful 3-ring SEG which provides levity to the craft through a combination of magnetic, electrostatic and flywheel effects, many of which I freely admit are beyond my comprehension.
The iron element in the SEG "plate" (the big ring) is magnetized with a combined DC and AC magnetizing sequence which causes many poles to form all over the surface of the iron, in a wave like pattern corresponding to the AC frequency used. The iron element is then combined with the others (which are NOT involved in the magnetizing process) in a process called sintering - pushing them together under pressure. The same is done for the smaller magnets, or "rollers", except that each roller consists of eight stacked segments held together by the magnetic field. When you have twelve roller stacks and a correctly magnetized plate, and place the rollers on the plate as below, something truly amazing happens.
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/segring.jpg)
QuoteThere are only ten rollers in the picture for safety reasons, as in a full set, the rollers will accelerate to 250km/h around the plate! This incredible feat is due to the instability of having an AC sine imprint on the plate and a cosine print on the rollers - instability created as the fields conflict causes the rollers to orbit the plate. They are held down by the magnetic field and thrown out by the centrifugal forces, so the rollers do not actually touch the plate when in motion. Thus, friction is virtually non-existent, and the high electrostatic charge accumulated by the SEG soon ionises all the nearby air and pushes it totally away from the SEG, enveloping it in an intense vacuum. High voltage flashover thus becomes impossible, and the potentials created by the generator can reach monstrous levels.
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/seg.gif)
QuoteUnlike any other form of electrical technology, the presence of electron flow throught the generator actually cools it, reducing the resistance. This is due to free electrons being pulled out of the air and the resulting energy deficit causing the air to cool. As one places a greater and greater load on the SEG's induction coils (fitted so that the rollers pass through them to produce high-frequency AC), the rollers accelerate to accomodate the added energy drain, more power is pulled from the air, and the temperature lowers even further. A critical point is eventually reached. At 4 degrees Kelvin, the SEG superconducts and totally loses all electrical resistance. At this point, it levitates, completely enveloped in a perfect vacuum. Without control, it will accelerate up away from the Earth and disappear off into space, never to be seen again. To control it, a powerful radio frequency emitted nearby is required. If the same RF is transmitted as the AC frequency used to magnetise the rollers, they will completely stop. This acts as an ideal control gate, preventing the loss of costly generators.

Searl-Effect Generator: Design & Manufacturing Procedure
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/default1.gif)
Searl-Effect Generator : Design & Manufacturing Procedure by S. Gunnar Sandberg
(School of Engineering & Applied Sciences, University of Sussex) June 1985
The objective of this report is to reconstruct the experimental work carried out between 1946 and 1956 by John R. R. Searl that concerns the geometry, materials used, and the manufacturing process of the Sear1-Effect Generator (SEG).
The information given here is based on private communication between the author and Searl and should be considered preliminary as further research and development may give reason to alter and/or update the content.
The Gyro-Cell
The SEG consists of a basic drive unit called the Gyro-Cell (GC) and, depending on the application, is either fitted with coils for generation of electricity or with a shaft for transfer of mechanical power. The GC can also be used as a high voltage source. Another and important quality of the GC 1s its ability to levitate.
The GC can be considered as an electric motor entirely consisting of permanent magnets in the shape of cylindrical bars and annular rings.
Figure 1 shows the basic GC in its simplest form, consisting of one stationary annular ring-shaped magnet, called the plate, and a number of moving cylinder-shaped rods called runners.
Figure 1
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig1a.jpg)
During operation each runner is spinning about its axis and is simultaneously orbiting the plate in such a manner that a fixed point p on the curved runner surface traces out a whole number of cycloids during one revolution round the plate, as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 2.
Figure 2 ~
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig2a.jpg)
Measurements have revealed that an electric potential difference is produced in the radial direction between plate and runners; the plate being positively charged and the runners negatively charged, as shown in Figure 1.
In principle, no mechanical constraints are needed to keep the GC together since the runners are electromagnetically coupled to the plate. However, used as a torque producing device, shaft and casing must be fitted to transfer the power produced. Furthermore, in applications where the generator is mounted inside a framework, the runners should be made shorter than the height of the plate to prevent the runners from catching the frame or other parts.
When in operation, gaps are created by electromagnetic interaction and centrifugal forces preventing mechanical and galvanic contact between plate and runners and thereby reducing the friction to negligible values.
The experiments showed that the power output increases as the number of runners increase and to achieve smooth and even operation the ratio between external plate diameter Dp and runner diameter Dr should be a positive integer greater than or equal to 12. Thus:
(1) P/Dr = N > 12 (N = 12, 13, 14, &c)
The experiments also indicated that the gaps O between adjacent runners should be one runner diameter D as shown in Figure 1.
More complex Gyro-Cells can be formed by adding further plates and runners to the basic unit. Figure 3 illustrates a 3-plate GC consisting of three sections, A, B and C. Each section consists of one plate with corresponding runners.
Figure 3
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig3a.jpg)
The experiments showed that for stable and smooth operation sections should be of equal weight. Thus:
(2) WA = WB = WC
where
WA = weight of section A,
WE = weight of section E,
WC = weight of section C.
The Magnetic Field Configuration
Due to a combined DC and AC magnetising process, each magnet acquires a specific magnetic pole pattern recorded on two tracks consisting of a number of individual N-poles and S-poles, as illustrated in Figure 4.
Magnetic measurements have revealed that the poles are approximately one millimetre across and evenly spaced. It was also found that the pole density (x) --- defined as the total number of poles N per track divided by the circumference, pi D --- must be a constant factor specific for a particular generator. Thus:
x = Np / 3.14 Dp = Nr / 3.14 Dr
where Np is the total number of poles per track on plate and N r is the total number of poles per track on runner.
Figure 4 ~
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig4a.jpg)
Furthermore, the distance dr between the two pole tracks must be the same for all runners and plates which are parts of the same GC.
The pole tracks allow automatic commutation to take place and create a turning moment. Exactly how this is achieved is not understood and will require further research efforts.
Likewise, the source of energy is at present unknown. Further research is also needed to establish the exact mathematical relationship between output power, speed, geometry and material parameters, such as mass density and electromagnetic properties of the materials used.
Magnetic Materials
The magnets used in the original experiments were made of a mixture of two types of ferromagnetic powders imported from the USA. One of these magnets, still in existence, has been qualitatively analyzed and was found to contain the following elements: Aluminum, Silicon, Sulfur, Titanium, Neodymium, Iron. The spectrogram is illustrated in figure 5.
Figure 5

The Induction Coils ~
If the SEG is sued as an electrical power plant a number of induction coils must be fitted to the GC. The coils consist of C-shaped cores made of soft steel (Swedish steel) or high u-ferrite (mu-metal). The number of turns and wire gauge used depends on the application. Figure 6 shows the basic design.
Figure 6 ~
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig6a.jpg)
Manufacturing Procedure ~
The block diagram in Figure 7 illustrates the main stages in the manufacturing process.
Figure 7 ~
(1) Selection of Magnetic Materials >> (2) Weighing >> (3) Mixing >>
(4) Moulding >> (5) Machining >> (6) Inspection > (7) Magnetization >>
(8) Inspection >> (9) Assembly >> (10) Final Control.
Stage 1: Magnetic Materials & Bonding Agents ~
It is feasible that future research will reveal other magnetic raw materials to be cheaper and/or more efficient than the ones used in the original experiments. It is also possible that other types of binder may improve the performance.
Stage 2: Weighing ~
In general, to produce efficient magnets the right amount of each element contained in the ferromagnetic powder is crucial. It is therefore reasonable to suggest that when mixing different types of powders an optimal weight ratio does exist that will produce a 'best' magnet.
At present, however, this weight ratio is not known for the powders used by Searl in his past experiments. Together with new magnetic materials and optimization of generator geometry, this is an area in which research efforts could be profitable.
In general, the amount of binder used should be as small as possible to achieve maximum mass density of bonded magnets. However, the possibility that the binder is taking an active part in the generation of the Searl-Effect must not be excluded. For instance, the dielectric properties of the binder may play an active role in the electromagnetic interactions taking place in the SEG. If that is the case, then a further amount of bonding material may be beneficial.
Stage 3: Mixing ~
The mixing is an important process which will decide the homogenity and reliability of the finished product. A homogeneous mixture can be achieved by using turbulent air flow inside the mixing container The experiments did show that an improved performance was achieved if all magnets for the same generator were made from the same batch.
Stage 4: Moulding ~
During the moulding process the compound- consisting of ferromagnetic powders. and thermoplastic binder is compressed and simultaneously cured by heating. Figure 8 illustrates the tool used for making 'blinds'. A 'blind' is an unmagnetized runner or plate/part of plate. When manufacturing large plates (Dp > 30 cm) it may be necessary to make them in segments rather than in one piece.
Figure 8 ~
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig8a.jpg)
The figures given below should be considered as guidelines only, since correct data are not available regarding the influence of the moulding process on the Searl-Effect.
1. Pressure: 200-400 bars
2. Temperature: 150 C-200 C
3. Compression time: > 20 minutes.
Before releasing the pressure the mould must be allowed to cool.
Stage 5: Machining
This process can be bypassed if the weighing and moulding procedures are carried out correctly. However, it may be necessary to polish the cylindrical surface of runners and plates.
Stage 6: Inspection
Control of dimensions and surface finish.
Stage 7: Magnetization
Runners and plates are individually magnetized in a combined DC and AC-field during one on-off duty cycle. Figure 9 illustrates the magnetizing circuit.
Figure 9 ~
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig9a.jpg)
The function of the automatic control switch (ACS) is to simultaneously switch on the DC-current, idc and the AC current, iac at such a time, t = ton, that the instantaneous value of the total magnetomotive force (MMF) is always positive. Thus:
MMF = idcN1 + iacN2 > 0
Where N1 is the number of turns in the DC-winding and N2 is the number of turns in the AC winding.
Figure 10 shows the total MMF as a function of time.
Figure 10
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig10a.jpg)
The magnetization coil consists of a DC winding containing approximately 200 turns of heavy copper wire and an AC winding containing approximately 10 turns of copper strip wound on top of the DC winding. Figure 11 shows a cross-section of the coil and its dimensions.
Figure 11
(http://www.thelivingmoon.com/41pegasus/04images/Searl/fig11a.jpg)
Recommended parameter values:
DC current, idc = 150 A to 180 A
AC current, iac = 0.1 to 0.2 A
Frequency, f = 1-3 MHz
Stage 8: Inspection
The purpose of this control is to test for the existence of and the correct spacing of the two pole tracks. The measurements can be made with a magnetic flux density meter in combination with a set of control magnets.
Stage 9: Assembling
The assembling procedure depends on the application. Used as a mechanical drive unit, the magnets must be mounted inside a framework and fitted to a drive shaft. Used as an electric power plant, induction coils must be fitted to the framework.

QuoteSearl Effect Generator (SEG)
When Searl first activated his device, the rollers (rotors) began to rotate around the plate (stator), generating a charge-pumping action on an open circuit configuration. At threshold speed, the device maintained its rotation with no additional energy input from the peripheral electromagnets. In the case of the original prototype, however, Searl had not provided a dampening mechanism, which caused a positive energy feedback loop to occur (circuit virtually closed) as the machine charged or ionized the air surrounding it, causing the device to accelerate. Eventually the generator experienced a severe drop in temperature inversely proportional to the increasing electric current as the electrical resistance decreased into lines predicted by the Pinch (plasma physics) effect. The random kinetic energy of the electrons became uniform in motion (physics), directly resulting in very high electron velocity, and thus the SEG quickly achieved superconductivity at extremely low temperatures. In this state, quantum tunneling electrons surged through the generator in the form of unimpeded Cooper pairs, resulting in very high negative potentials at the device's periphery.
Through a process similar to ionization, a pink halo formed about the machine and intense electric fields repelled the surrounding negatively charged air strongly enough to form a vacuum. This vacuum and the geometry of the SEG prevented flashover of the millions of volts generated. The energy levels escalated enormously as the SEG effectively absorbed or converted the ambient temperature and all other environmental sources of the electromagnetic spectrum immediately surrounding the machine into useful electrical power. The process is believed to strip the electron's kinetic energy by rectifying its normally random motional state in to a uniform state, accelerating it back into the environment, where the electrons regain normal levels of kinetic energy. The SEG's electric fields would then re-attract the surrounding electrons through the relativity positive center of the generator creating a continuous cycle, a process that Prof. Searl has described as an "electron ramjet".
Upon reaching a threshold level of efficiency, the generator's weight dramatically decreased to a negative state at very cold temperatures. The SEG's mass inertia concurrently also inverted its state which effectively created what may be termed as an anti-gravity machine with superconductivity due to the extreme electrical and spin-orbital rotating magnetic fields. Then most unexpectedly, the SEG promptly shot through the roof of Searl's lodge and was never seen again.
Several more units were made and lost outdoors until he incorporated a dielectric layer to its construction and the practical power generator (SEG) was thus realized.

John Searl Dear Drake. I have and still trying to find a way to have my own website - do you know why - so I can control it from this seat - why do I want a website - elementary - a business one aim at top officials, top big companies - top finance people not for the general public because it will be a teaching channel of real technical stuff which no one will allow me to do because they know they would lose big profits if I did. I am not the only company complaining about the crap on the internet that we need a special internet to be deigned for our business.
Having spent more than 10 years on Searl, i will be following these links closely...
The jury is still out on this one ???
I still say we need to see (or replicate) a working 3-ring SEG in order to do further research. The main reason being it's horribly expensive....
