There is a class of devices known as "magnetic amplifiers" that were used in the 40's and 50's as a reliable means of power control before the transistor became available. Somewhere I think I have a book or report on how these devices were designed and used. This device relied on the nonlinear B-H characteristic of the magnetic core and was able to use a small DC current to control a much larger AC current. Here is a Wikipedia link for magnetic amplifiers:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_amplifier The Manelas device may have created an over-unity magnetic amplifier effect. Where the energy for over-unity comes from is, as Brian suggests, completely open. It could be some kind of coupling to the ZPE. For those of us who believe that Don Hotson had it right in his description of the epo ether (based on solution to Dirac's equation), the magnetic field may provide a means to couple to the Dirac sea ether. This ether is also coupled to everything else, including the Earth, and sun. Perhaps the Manelas device is coupling energy out of the Earth's rotation or revolution around the sun - who knows. If Brian has witnessed clear over-unity behavior, it sounds like a phenomenon worth investigation. But... we have to be careful. I had a lab technician declare that the L-C matching circuit he was working on had produced over-unity, when in fact, it only had voltage gain and no power gain (actually a small loss). It sounds from Brian's description of energy being taken out continuously for a long period of time that actual power gain was observed.
