I found some John Bedini interview transcripts here:
http://merlib.org/node/5683Quote:
We know what a coil is: it’s a pretty steady electromagnet when there is a steady current. The coil acts as an electromagnet, and its two magnetic poles are in balance, one on the top and one on the bottom.
What we actually want to do, Dr. Bob, is make that magnet become nonlinear. So we pulse the coil to make it nonlinear. What we’re actually doing is opening a window in the magnet which is termed the “Bloch Wall.” The Bloch Wall is the space where the two poles come together in the center of the magnet. That’s where the energy comes from, from this zero field that’s in the center of the magnet, where the two poles – top and bottom – are in balance.
Bedini discusses inductors as electromagnets, and bar magnets, in the EFTV series as two examples of devices that exhibit Bloch walls, where the Bloch wall cuts the electromagnet or magnet in two lengthwise pieces at the center of the device. For starters,
by definition there are no Bloch walls associated with a coil (a.k.a.; an electromagnet). That doesn't even make any sense. A regular bar magnet does not possess a Bloch wall either.
There are not two "poles that come together in the center of the magnet (or an electromagnet)." It's almost unbelievable that he would say that. It's approaching "litmus test" territory.
More importantly, for emphasis,
there is no Bloch wall in a standard bar magnet at all.
There is no such thing as the two poles of a magnet (or electromagnet) - top and bottom - being in balance. Another shocking statement from Bedini.
As far as "opening up a window in the magnet (or electromagnet)" goes, that's a Tom Bearden-style tall tale that means nothing. This is part of the "zero field" or "vacuum energy" argument where excess energy allegedly comes from and it's baloney. The term "zero field" somewhat ironically means nothing.
Bedini says that he is going to "make that magnet become nonlinear," but he doesn't even define what parameter he talking about so his statement is meaningless. In a general sense, ferrous materials and by extension magnets are already nonlinear with respect to their BH curves and magnetic properties, so when John Bedini states that his going to "make a magnet become nonlinear" it's nonsense. This presumes that scientists and engineers treat magnets as linear devices, when in fact they treat them as nonlinear devices.
If you are talking about a coil, a.k.a.; an electromagnet, as long as there is no ferrite core associated with it, it is a linear device and and any kind or external excitation will not turn it into a nonlinear device. There will not be any "opening up of a window" for "zero field" energy.
As you can see, almost every single sentence in that John Bedini quote from a radio interview done on April 6th, 2008 has something wrong with it.
Going back to Bloch walls, doing a quick YouTube search I found a clip that shows what a Bloch wall is:

I am shaking my head in disbelief after dissecting that Bedini quote.
