Photographed in 2008 among Stan Meyer's things: his Electrical Particle Generator. A ring of copper tube wound with pickup coils, and a small pump in the middle. Every other generator moves a magnet past a coil; Stan kept the coils still and pumped the magnet round the loop. In 1989 he said it had one moving part, no bearings, no brushes, and could be dropped in a bucket of water without shorting out, and that a three-star general got out of his chair to hear about it.
