Paul A. Murad, a former Defense Department technology analyst, and colleagues at Morningstar Applied Physics in Vienna, Virginia, published a paper in 2013 describing the "Morningstar Energy Box", an electromagnetic device they said lost weight when running.[1]
The paper
The paper, "The Morningstar Energy Box – An unusual electromagnetic device", appeared in the Journal of Space Exploration, published by Mehtapress, in July 2013. Its authors were Murad, Morgan Boardman and plasma physicist John Brandenburg of Morningstar, with Jonathan McCabe of Orbital Technologies Corporation and Wayne Mitzen. They described the device as derived from John Searl's claimed "Searl effect generator" and from a Russian device by Godin and Roschin, using a cage, laminated rollers and a ring with ferromagnetic fluid.[1]
The claims
The Russian researchers had claimed their device produced self-acceleration and weight changes depending on the direction of rotation. Murad's team reported no self-acceleration, but said their 190-pound device lost 2–5 pounds at steady state in early tests, with transient changes of 20–40 pounds, and in a later series showed an unexpected 14-pound (7.3%) steady-state weight reduction with no voltage applied. They suggested it might lead to an advanced propulsion system.[1]
Assessment
The results have not been independently replicated, the journal is not a mainstream physics journal, and Searl's claims have never been verified.[1][2]
