1.Introduction

FreeEnergyistheenergywhichisgeneratedwithoutany additional capital investment except theinstallationcostoftheplanti.e.whichdoesnotcostforitsgenerationandisfreeoncetheplantisinstalled.Forexample, solar cells,wind tidal, geothermaletc.are the forms of free energy. Energy from thesesourcescanbegeneratedendlesslywithoutputtingany input which costs something i.e. the input iswidelyavailableinnatureandiseconomicallyfreetouse.

1.1Whyfreeenergyneeded?

Since the invention of the electricity, it has alwaysbeen generated by conventional ways only likethermal power plants, hydroelectric plants andnuclearpowerplants.But, these conventionalwayshavetheirownlimitationsanddrawbacks,oneofthemajor is they are hazardous and have detrimentaleffects on the environment like global warming,increasedthepercentageofcarbonandotherharmfulgasesandconstituentsreleasedintotheenvironmentbytheashandbyproductsleftoverbyburningoffuel.Therearemanyotherdrawbackslikehealthproblemsanddepletionofnaturalresourcesoffuellikecoal,oilandgaseswhichhavebroughtustoapointwhereweneedtothinkoutofthebox,tofindoutvariousother

waysofgeneratingelectricity.Thus,thisisthetimeweneed to work on the alternate ways of generatingelectricitywhichwillbeeco-friendly,cheaperforitsuse,hasnodetrimentaleffects,requirenoeconomicalinput once the plant is installed and can generateelectricity endlessly. Such energy we called as freeenergy.

1.2.What is free energy generator ormagnetricgenerator?

The concept of generating electricity frommagnetshasbeenaroundussincealongtime.Simplemagnetsare used in generators to generate electricity. Itconsists of a simple arrangement of conductor andmagnets and works on faraday 's law of electromagneticinduction.But,whohasthoughtthatthesamemagnetscanberearrangedinsuchaway,that a continuous motion can be obtained from itwhichfurthercanbeusedtodrivethegenerator.Yes,inthispaperyouaregoingtogetintroducedtoaverynew technique of generating electricity. This paperdealswiththeconstructionandworkingofadevice,whichisbasedonthistechnique.Moreprecisely,thistechnique is nothing but the application of therepulsive property of the magnets, as the basicprinciple behind its working. The device uses theworld's most powerful magnets i.e. Neodymium

magnets. A neodymium magnet (also known asNdFeB, NIB or Neomagnet), themostwidely usedtype of rare-earth magnet, is a permanent magnetmadefromanalloyofneodymium,ironandborontoformtheNd2Fe14Btetragonalcrystallinestructure.Neodymium magnets are the strongest type ofpermanentmagnetcommerciallyavailable.

Wehavenamedthisdeviceas“MagnetricGenerator”,becauseitisacollaborationofthemaincomponentusedforgenerationandtheoutputofthedevicei.e.magnetsandtheelectricity.

This generator is first of its kind. It is cheaper ascomparedtotheconventionalsourcesofenergyandovercomes the drawbacks related to the other freeenergy sources. Now further, you will see all thetechnicalities,construction,working,advantagesandapplicationofthisgenerator.
