- "The self-reliant EBM plant uses its own self-generated electromagnetic fuel. This technology is non-nuclear, 100 % environment friendly with zero emissions."
- "We are routinely producing with our EBM Power Plants several kilowatts well over unity without any pollution and emissions whatsoever!"
- "One of these 10-megawatt units will heat 280 houses and air-condition them, plus you have cheap power, guaranteed at six cents." [1]
- "All that EBM needs to start it is a small motor or engine that produces torque (2.5% - 5% of rated output, depending on how quickly you want to start it up). If you're out where there's no power at all, you go to a local farmer and get a John Deere, hook on to it and start it up. Initially, it rotates the EBM drive unit, and it achieves operating speed. Its unique geometry allows extra shaft power to be produced as the rotor is rotated through the magnetic field. The shaft power is converted to electricity via a synchronous generator attached to the shaft of the EBM unit. A small quantity of the electricity is then fed back into the EBM unit to continue the rotation. The excess power produced can then be used or sold for profit. In other words, when we sell a 10-megawatt unit, it is actually producing 15-megawatts -- it will be the 15-megawatt generator. It will take between one and ten percent of the rated capacity (depending on size) back to drive the EBM motor, giving you 10 megawatts to feed into the grid 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The idea is to keep the flux alive." [2] [3] (With some editing on Oct. 11, 2006 from Prof. Szabo)

Scalable
"All our EBM Plants are scaled for manufacturing from 1.5 to 225 MW"
Features
quoting from http://www.gammamanager.com/index2.html
- The power plant can be commissioned within a very short time after the order is placed.
- With the inexpensive and clean EBM electric power, and heat energy, the production of hydrogen for fuel cells is highly competitive or the production of nitrogen for fertilizer, or desalination of sea water can be economically implemented.
- With the torque produced by EBM Units, large ships or locomotives can be directly driven!

Description
Quoting from http://www.steorn.net/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=19331&page=1#Item_0
- "Energy-By-Motion is a renewable, clean and inexpensive energy resource, which utilizes magnetic flux as a fuel source and is now commercially viable. EBM is a uniquely configured rotating machine which can be used for simultaneous electrical and heat energy production using state-of-the-art commercial materials, such as laminated electro steel, copper windings, bearing, insulating materials shafts structural steel and so on similar in many ways to current large commercial motors or generators.
- "This similarity ends, however, when one measures the combined electrical and heat output while being rotated through the EBM magnetic field. The unique geometry of the EBM machine appears to be responsible for its capability to produce energy out of the employed electromagnetic fields, such as fluxes which are present around and inside all "ordinary" permanent or electromagnets. The electrical power and heat energy that are produced from this process can be used in the traditional ways, as well as to manufacture hydrogen, desalinate sea water and to transport the same over large distances, to power and/or heat greenhouses, and so on. We feel this invention will encourage many new ways of utilizing renewable energy.
- "EBM technology uses readily available materials and relies on existing manufacturing processes. It is non-nuclear, non-toxic, emits no noise or substances, and is 100% environmentally friendly. The energy is a function of the mass of inexpensive laminated steel in the unit. The larger the mass, the larger the output.
- "The actual mechanism of the physics involved in this energy production is proprietary information."
Intellectual Protection
Patented applied for (during the research and development era) in 42 countries in the world, representing about 80% of the GDP of the Globe. (Going to re-apply for patents with upgraded patents now that R&D is completed.) Patents obtained in 16 countries, including the U.S. The proprietary plans are stored on three continents. [4]
Also has trademark protection, which is international and has no expiration.

WO9318570
- WO9318570 - "ASYMMETRICAL ELECTRO-MECHANICAL DEVICE a.k.a. CDCII" - Publication date: 1993-09-16l; Inventor: SZABO LESLIE I (HU); Applicant: ELECTRO ERG LTD (HU)
- Abstract of WO9318570
- An asymmetrical, electro-mechanical device (10) comprises a geometrically-magnetically-asymmetrical stator (12) and a rotor (22) which move with respect to each other. There is a stator air gap (20) which makes the stator (12) asymmetrical. The magnetic flux passing from the rotor (22) to the stator (12) is interrupted when the rotor (22) passes by the stator air gap (20). The invention is able to achieve improvements over the prior art electro-mechanical devices, particularly in respect of efficiency.
Finance
Cost
quoting from http://www.gammamanager.com/index2.html
- The average turn-key-cost of the EBM Power Plants is less than $2,000 USD/kW depending upon the MW size of the plant. This includes fuel for 40 years!
- The average 1 kilowatt-hour electric power costs 75 % to 80 % of most local tariff rates at 65 % load factor (appx. 5,700 hours use per annum)
- The pay-back period of invested capital is less than 4 years.
See: Market Value of Fuel Savings of Cogeneration EBM Power Plants
Financing Offered
"For market penetration during 2006 and 2007 EEL vendor finances 50 % to 55 % of the total investments for EBM power plants to provide all electronics, Black-Box and factory testing rigs." [5]
Funds Rasied
"They have been able to raise close to $100 million to start building these units." [6]
History
The research and development work of this hi-tech technology began in 1980 in four laboratories in Toronto, Houston, London and in Budapest, managed for ELECTRO ERG LIMITED (EEL) by the GAMMA Group, under Professor L. I. Szabó's leadership. [7]
This is a Canadian invention. They spent 20 years in a building near the Toronto airport. At that time, a group in London, England, and, later on, a group in Budapest. [8]
Website created in March, 2006.
The team moved from Toronto and went to Budapest because the engineering cost is one third over there. They finished designing the unit over there. [9]
Open House
Budapest
OPEN HOUSE AT THE LAB IN BUDAPEST
"In October and November 2006, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm - Come and see for yourself what you can read in the Certification!"
Norfolk
There will be one in Norfolk, possibly this fall, called Port Ryerse Power. It will be the showpiece of Canada and the United States. [10]

"It's interessting for me, that EBM says, that they have over 60 patents [sic, see correction above] over the whole world and that they have developed and optimized the device over the past 20 years and nearly nobody has noticed their work." -- Raimo Kräuchi, Oct. 10, 2006
