This is the story of another inventor who died before his ideas were completely understood or accepted by scientists and society. For more than 30 years Lester Hendershot worked on an over-unity device that was thought to be tapping into a magnetic force field. Interestingly, Hendershot seemed to be the only person capable of activating it, but was "unable to provide a satisfactory scientific explanation" for why his creation worked. Nevertheless, the fuel-less generator was demonstrated many times from 1928 to 1960, and its validity was attested to by several witnesses including Charles Lindbergh (1). A demonstration was even conducted before the U.S. press in which the device passed all assessment tests (2).
According to Aho, while other researchers constructed slightly different devices, they "all had two things in common: [1] they generated electricity without the use of fuel or material loss to any of its parts, and [2] there was an operator who used individualized methods to trigger the device into operation." While working with the inventor, Aho decided to construct five devices so that he could see them work. After painstakingly building the first one and having it tested by Hendershot himself, the success of the generator showed him that "limits based on studies of exchange of energy and/or quantum mechanics did not indeed exist." Aho still has the last generator constructed, but it "is only so much material without the influence of Lester Hendershot—whatever that may be—and the device does not operate." Mark Hendershot, Lester's son, is continuing his father's research. He believes "that once again the theory and working proof can be presented to a world which may now be ready."(6) For those who are interested, he has the construction plans and research details of his father's device (7). Also, Tim Thrapp of Ohio and Walt Parsons of Florida have built the Hendershot device. Thrapp's successfully "produces about 10 watts continuously with no electrical input (self-running)." There is also reported to be another project being undertaken in Australia (8). According to an advertisement in the Space Energy Journal, "Barry Hilton believes he has discovered the secret to the Hendershot Generator." He has published construction details and a theoretical explanation which is for sale along with a companion video (9). Information about the original Hendershot device can be obtained in detail from The Hendershot Motor Mystery by Tom Brown. There are also other devices in use that involve some of Hendershot's ideas, such as the Swiss M/L Converter (10). |
