In a recent letter published on his site last week, Tom Bearden gives some interesting details about what happened to Floyd Sweet's work. He also tells us that:
"... The Sweet device has been partially replicated by at least four experimenters. Each succeeded in activating the magnets into self-oscillation, and in getting power out more than the input205
205 the major problem is to get a strong, stable self-oscillation established in the magnets themselves, before building the unit. Once that is done, the Sweet unit can be replicated. His first unit produced only 6 watts, but his second unit produced 500 watts output for a 10 Volt, 33 milliampere input. So that's a COP (if I didn't drop a decimal somewhere!) of about 1,500,000.
None of the inventors I know of who replicated it, ever achieved such a COP. To my knowledge, the longest they achieved the activation was about 6 weeks. At least one did light a 100-watt bulb or so, but the output decayed. Often the activation (by the others) would last only a minute or two, then a few minutes as they got better at it, etc.And in my view, yes, the unit could be replicated and developed, but only by a very competent team having several disciplines..."
