yes i am aware of the first law and i had allready gathered that unity is refering to efficancy which considers the whole system and not COP which referes to what we put in to the system. however in your above statement refering to 746w=1hp for a direct induction motor and 200w=1hp for the new machine this doesnt jive for me because 1hp of mechanical shaft power is still one 1hp so i believe what your refering to is it "takes" 746w in a direct induction to produce 1hp and we are estimating that it "takes" 200w to produce 1hp with the indirect method plus we will recover maybe 170w back to reuse leaving us with 30w lost input power. i dont think this is a reversible example (meaning 1hp=200w doesnt work) if in the end my new machine still outputs 1hp of work, or slightly more, and i common shaft 1hp direct induction generator to it ,assuming 100% eff gen, then i get 746w out and watts are watts so i send some back to the source and use the rest for an outside load this should be a self sustaining cycle. while i do understand its not overunity from a whole system efficancy stand point, i do believe a >1 cop engine should run for as long as magnetics last in nature if that is where we theorize where the extra energy is coming from? today we produce electrical through the consumption of chemical "fuels" perhaps tomorrows future is the recognition that we might be able to "consume" magnetic energy or some unknown energy behind its curtain to produce more shaft work out by "intiating" a magnetic process with electricity.
am i close?

hahahaha heres an idea i thought i would float by for a test. i noticed in your dvd the picture of the c shaped lamintion core and coil with the S rotor looks very similar to a shaded pole motor i pulled out of a microwave oven. i could remove its old rotor, cut the top and bottom out of the laminations to closer
mimic your C shape, build a new iron rotor and comutator using the same shaft and bearings, and pulse 110v DC into the coil using your sugested circutry maybe use capacitors instead of batteries to drive the motor and collect and recycle the cemf by swapping caps and have a seperate circut that only "tops off" any lost energy in the process. this "top off" circut is the energy i "pay for" so i should measure watts there and build a mini dyno test to measure shaft output!!

sound like fun?
