Thane Heins is nervous and hopeful. It's Jan. 24, a Thursday afternoon, and in four days the Ottawa-area native will travel to Boston where he'll demonstrate an invention that appears – though he doesn't dare say it – to operate as a perpetual motion machine.
The audience, esteemed Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Markus Zahn, could either deflate Heins' heretical claims or add momentum to a 20-year obsession that has broken up his marriage and lost him custody of his two young daughters.

Perepiteia Generator Video - by Thane Heins
New coil design eliminates HC coil power drop when HV coil engaged. HC coil wound in top of HV coil to reduce core losses.
Previous designs showed a slight drop in HC coil output when HV coil was engaged. This new improved design shows an increase rather than a decrease when the acceleration causing HV coilis engaged.
