John R. R. Searl inventor of the "Spatial Effect Generator", also known as the "Searl Effect Generator".


John Roy Robert Searl (born May 2, 1932) is a British inventor from Wantage, England. Searl claimed that between 1946 and 1956 he designed and constructed a device known as the Searl Effect Generator (SEG), variously claimed to be anti-gravity and perpetual motion device.cite web title=Swallowcommand homepage There is no evidence that these claims are accurate, and the existence of perpetual motion machines is in principle ruled out by the first law of thermodynamics cite web title="Perpetual Motion", University of New South Wales cite web title=Will Someone Build A Perpetual Motion Machine?
Searl was an apprentice employee of BR Rewinds in Grays Inn Road, London. There he gained permission to use the company's facilities and technical resources to make the device. He claims that, in December 1946, with all of the magnetic components manufactured to his specifications, he assembled the generator in his residence at 30 Crawley Rd, Haringey, London, UK; the initial prototypes worked to produced electricity but it generated unexpectedly extremely high voltage along with gravitomagnetism, following which the initial devices were dramatically lost during testing due to a strong anti-gravity effect. There is no independent verification of these claims.Fact|date=January 2008
Searl was convicted of stealing electricity by bypassing his electricity meter, and damaging the property of the electricity company. The Times, 26th November 1982, titled "Electricity thief risked blackout of the South"] He then engaged in a vendetta against the electricity company. The Times, 5th January 1983, titled "Engineer jailed for vendetta" title=Newspaper articles as video
Searl has since claimed that he and his colleagues subsequently built over 50 versions of his ‘levity disc’, of various sizes, and learned how to control them. He claims that persecution by the authorities resulted in wrongful imprisonment and the destruction of most of his work, so that he has had to start all over again. His claim that in the early 1970s one of his craft flew round the world several times without being detected does nothing to enhance his credibility.
In 1991 Anders Heerfordt investigated the claims of Searl concerning the devices that Searl claimed to have shown, as well as verifying claimed witness reports. None of these claims could be verified. Furthermore, Gunnar Sandberg has never seen any of the effects described. Sandberg, as reported through Heerfordt, found a son of Searl "who had seen disks being suspended from wires, so that they could be photographed, but who hadnt seen any demonstration of antigravity or free energy."cite web http://www.textfiles.com/bbs/KEELYNET/GRAVITY/searle1.asc |title=Heerfordt Investigation pt.1] cite web title=Heerfordt Investigation pt.2

People want "Free Energy", UFOs/UAPs?
There are reports of John Searl demonstrating his units to the BBC and also the entire town of Warminster was scared to death because of his experiments with his "levity disc". They called it "The Warminster Thing".
People thought it was aliens. They had town hall meetings on it that were filmed. It was the work of John Searl. People in the UFO community still those particular reports were aliens.


John Searl, a British inventor, is renowned for his creation of the Searl Effect Generator (SEG), which he claims can produce unlimited free energy and even facilitate antigravity effects. Searl’s journey began in the 1940s when he had a series of recurring dreams that inspired him to develop a device that could harness what he described as natural magnetic energy. These dreams served as a blueprint, driving him to explore the potential of magnetism and electromagnetism in a way that would unlock new possibilities in energy production.

How the Searl Effect Generator (SEG) Works:
The SEG consists of a unique arrangement of three concentric magnetic rings and rollers that rotate around them. The interaction between these components creates what Searl describes as a controlled magnetic vortex, capable of generating continuous electrical energy without any external fuel input. Once set in motion, the SEG is said to maintain perpetual motion, producing a surplus of energy that can be harnessed for various uses.
In addition to its energy-producing capabilities, Searl claimed that when the device reaches certain speeds, it generates antigravity effects. Objects in the vicinity of the generator are said to experience a levitating force, which could be a breakthrough for transportation technologies, including space travel.

Experiments and Demonstrations:
Throughout his career, Searl conducted several experiments to demonstrate the principles of the SEG. He built multiple prototypes, some of which reportedly achieved the results he predicted. In the 1960s and 1970s, Searl claimed that his early models successfully produced excess energy. He also conducted public demonstrations where objects were reported to levitate, allegedly due to the antigravity properties of the device.
One of the most well-known tests was conducted on a model known as “The Levity Disk”, a flying disc that supposedly used SEG technology. During several tests, witnesses reported that the disc ascended into the sky and hovered, showcasing the device’s antigravitational abilities. While detailed documentation of these experiments is sparse, Searl and his supporters believe that these demonstrations validated the SEG’s capabilities.
Searl’s work was largely self-funded, and despite facing challenges, such as the destruction of his lab and equipment, he persisted in refining his designs. In the 1980s, with renewed interest in alternative energy sources, Searl’s work began to gain more attention, with enthusiasts and researchers revisiting his concepts.

Inspiration Behind the SEG:
Searl’s inspiration for the SEG stemmed from a combination of his recurring dreams and a deep interest in electromagnetism. He believed that the universe is governed by natural energy flows, which can be tapped into with the right technology. He viewed the SEG as not just a machine but as a key to understanding the fundamental forces of nature. Searl often cited the works of earlier scientific pioneers like Michael Faraday and Nikola Tesla, who explored electromagnetic principles, as influences in his own research.
His approach to the SEG was both technical and philosophical. Searl envisioned a future where free energy would be accessible to everyone, eliminating the need for conventional fuel sources and providing a sustainable way to power the world.
Legacy and Vision:
John Searl’s SEG remains a fascinating concept in the world of alternative energy. His vision continues to inspire researchers interested in unconventional energy sources and antigravity research. Though many of his ideas await widespread adoption, Searl’s work pushes the boundaries of what we understand about magnetism, energy, and propulsion technologies.
The SEG, with its promises of free energy and antigravity, represents not just a technological breakthrough but also a philosophical shift toward exploring the potential of harnessing the unseen forces of nature for the benefit of humanity.
