This discovery stems from Michael Faraday's idea to spin a magnet and extract electricity from a conductor and magnet that are connected together. And Bruce DePalma has always assumed that the mechanism based on such an idea is capable of producing more energy than is necessary to rotate the magnetic "structure".
Bruce de Palma.
Bruce DePalma is a physicist educated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard. His words and thoughts may not be believed, but he has a trump card in his sleeve - the 100-kilowatt N-Machine generator, which he invented while sitting in his garage. Which worked and worked amazingly.
N-Machine.
To test the invention in 1978 in Santa Barbara, California, a large "N-Machine" was built, called the "Sunburst". The device was tested by Dr. R. Kinchelo, professor emeritus of electrical engineering at Stanford University. In the report, Kinchelo noted that the device consumes only 13-20% of the energy it can produce to operate. And with this he confirmed the words of DePalma himself, that his invention could produce electricity with an efficiency of about 500 percent.

At the end of the report, Kinchelo cautiously wrote: “DePalma may have been right that there really is a situation here where energy comes from a previously unknown and inexplicable source. This is a conclusion that most scientists and engineers would reject as a violation of the accepted laws of physics, but if true, then we can get incredible consequences."

So what is “N-Machine”? In fact, it is a one-piece rotating magnetized flywheel. Instead of a rotor and stator, as in conventional generators, the "N-Machine" has only a rotor. Half of the flywheel is the north pole, the other half is the south pole. One electrical contact is on the axis, the other is on the outer edge of the gyroscope, and the electricity is "drawn" as if directly from the magnet itself.
DePalma described his N-machine and outlined the theory explaining its work in the article "On the possibility of extracting electrical energy directly from space", published in the British scientific journal "Speculations in Science and Technology" (September 1990, Volume 13, No. 4).

DePalma himself points out that the "N-Machine" is not a perpetual motion machine: "It is assumed that a perpetual motion machine works only by itself. He can never give out five times more energy than he receives. Perpetual motion schemes use conventional energy sources, while the N-Machine is a new way of extracting energy directly from space."
DePalma tried many times to "promote" his invention, but constantly ran into obstacles and barriers. As he himself confessed in an open letter to the Space Energy Association newsletter in 1992, he was repeatedly threatened to quit research. By the way, everything related to Sunburst was confiscated and lost somewhere in the CIA archives (for details of the letter, you can go, for example, at
