Listen carefully to the sound of the coasting motor/generator (M/G) when the light bulb is illuminated. The whine of the motor is slowly lowering its pitch, which means that it is slowing down. The store kinetic energy in the M/G armature is being converted into current for the bulb and into friction heat. The M/G is very large, which means that it stores a tremendous amount of kinetic energy compared to the energy to light the bulb. Energy is ALWAYS conserved!

If you look a little more into Troy Reed’s inventions, you’ll see him drive his magnetic-electric car.
Open minds, my friends, open minds.
