Because this would now be the proper time for them to appear, and also because I now have too many other external issues requiring my attention to do anything else, I re-post them, slightly edited, below.
[Part I]
In her pioneering book The Coming Energy Revolution — the Search for Free Energy author Jeane Manning quotes (on p160) a scientist "with contacts in international circles" as saying:—
"...if you give the public disinformation, people become confused and passive. . . . It becomes a kind of cognitive dissonance; people tune out.
Obviously, when you're dealing with a sensitive area, the government will protect its interests. We would be naive [to think there are not agencies doing this]. The only way to make legitimate information inert, less viable, is to embellish it. . . color it with all kinds of Looney Tunes. . . . Give contradictory information. So no matter how much the public might be interested in the topic, it creates enough confusion that people tend to get passive."
It is simply a fact nowadays that there are hundreds, if not thousands of internet videos and other reports on "magnet motors" and other devices all claiming to be true free energy or perpetual motion machines. In other words there is now such a large amount of "noise" or "Looney Tunes" smothering this topic that any genuine device has hardly any chance of being recognised.
Of course I realise that, whatever may have happened in earlier years, the large majority of these devices are now being made and publicised by people just "having fun", or making "practical jokes" etc. No doubt there is also a small minority who really believe, rightly or wrongly, that their inventions are genuine.
I'm not complaining about this state of affairs; just noting the fact.
An invention from before the age of "Looney Tunes"
However, what would have happened if, more than two decades ago, in a modern, developed, "high-tech" nation (Japan) an inventor had built a successful "over-unity" magnet motor? And what if his unequivocal claims of properly measured over-unity performance were broadcast in a television program to the general Japanese public? What if that program also showed his claims being publicly endorsed by Engineering Professors at two well-respected universities (Waseda and Meiji) as well as a high-ranking industry representative (a Sumitomo Aerospace Division Chief)? What if the program specifically urged private enterprise to develop the invention?
Well, all of that did happen. The short answer to what happened next is: "nothing, overtly". The best that can be said is that more data was gained on how difficult it will be to achieve the New Energy Age (and consequently how disruptive it will be when it is achieved).
The "Dream Energy" television program
I recently managed to obtain a copy of that Japanese television program. It is the so-called "Dream Energy" program, broadcast by the Fuji Television Network on 20 October 1993. A recording of it was later incorporated into Tape 4 of the Cold Fusion Day at MIT videotapes, from where I believe my copy originated.
Reference: Cold Fusion Day at MIT set of videotapes, produced by Cold Fusion Technology, P.O.Box 2816, Concord, NH 03302-2816, USA.
These videotapes used to be available from Infinite Energy magazine, at the same address given above, but as far as I can find out, that is no longer the case. The only reference I can now find to this event is at http://www.infinite-energy.com/images/pdfs/mitcfreport.pdf, page 21 of 57, section titled:—
COLD FUSION, A Massachusetts Institute of Technology IAP Program — Video-Lecture-Demonstration Program, January 21, 1995, Saturday 9AM - 5PM, Room 6-120, Physics Lecture Hall, First floor, main building of MIT.
In the box on the right of the page, the 15th item is titled "Video Tape from Japan, Fuji Television (8 minutes) — 'Magnetic Energy'".

Now posted
The "Dream Energy" program is an important piece of historical evidence for anyone interested in Free Energy/Perpetual Motion. I have never been able to find it anywhere on the Internet, so I've posted it myself.
Here is the video, which I also posted to YouTube on June 4, 2014, at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61m6YY-2sY :—
Comments
The video is introduced and given English-language narration by Dr Eugene Mallove (1947 - 2004), founder and former Editor-in-Chief of Infinite Energy magazine. The other individual seen during the introduction is Bertil Werjefelt of PolyTech(USA).
The end of the program, discussing the retrofitting of existing electric motors, is somewhat anticlimactic. However, the program states twice that the motor shown earlier, i.e. the Kawai motor, delivers more energy than it consumes.
On July 25 1995 the Kawai motor was granted US Patent 5,436,518. A motor efficiency of 318% can be calculated from the self-consistent experimental data given in that patent. (See the paragraph in the Description starting with "Pure steel was used as a magnetic material.")

In the "Dream Energy" video I posted [above], Dr Mallove's narration is from the translation published in the very first issue of Infinite Energy, p48. This translation was originally provided by Prof. James Kenney of the Department of Japanese Studies at the University of Hawaii.
This issue is not available as one of the back issues still being offered for sale by Infinite Energy. To place it on record, I've reproduced the translation below:—
“The Dream Energy”
Newscaster Woman’s Voice:
It’s been said that it’s impossible to gain usable energy from permanent magnets.
Newscaster Man’s Voice:
But it’s been discovered that it’s indeed possible to extract energy from permanent magnets; and our staff has pursued this matter to reveal to you the secrets of this new technology.
Script on Screen:
[Professor at Waseda University, Engineering Department (Physics) Prof. Yoshihiko Otsuki]
Otsuki:
This is something that can turn the whole 21st century around — in terms of new energy. When I visited and saw the experiments in action my hands literally trembled from excitement.
Script on Screen:
[(Japan Science Research Laboratory) = Nihon Riken. Mr. Teruhiko Kawai]
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
What had surprised Prof. Otsuki was the fact that there was a high energy ratio achieved; that there was, in fact, a ratio of over 100%. [The phrase used is “more output than input.”]
Script on Screen:
[Meiji University Scientific Engineering Department (Engineer) Prof. Masao Mukaidono]
Mukaidono:
What we found were some very interesting facts.
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Permanent magnets have the nature to repel and attract. Prof. Kawai has succeeded in making permanent magnets produce mechanical energy. To convert magnetic energy to mechanical energy.
Script on Screen:
[Now Revealed: Dream Energy]
Narrator Woman’s Voice, and Script on Screen:
[Tokyo, Kamata]
All he ever thought about was permanent magnets. And one day, he discovered the principle that magnetic energy can be converted to mechanical energy.
Script on Screen:
[Experimental Equipment]
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Was this really possible? The first experiment was about to begin.
Script on Screen:
[Prof. Kawai]
Kawai:
I was very anxious ... Was it really possible? Will I be able to obtain usable mechanical energy?
Script on Screen:
[Jan 12, 1991 — this fact was determined]
Man’s Voice:
We placed the permanent magnet — more rotational speed was observed as well as torque.
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Yes, it was indeed possible to obtain more mechanical energy.
Kawai:
I was extremely happy with the results.
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Let’s have Prof. Mukaidono, who has been with this experiment from the beginning, comment on it.
Mukaidono:
What we have here is the more effective employment of switching — of turning on and off magnets in a sequence.
Script on Screen:
[The Principle of Switching]
Mukaidono:
Same poles attract, only the opposite poles repel. [Note that this apparently wrong statement is correct in terms of what is being shown on screen.] Here, we have two magnets with a piece of iron between them. Then, this piece too becomes magnetised and can attract another piece of iron. Switch the pole on one magnet, and this piece drops.
Script on Screen:
[October 12, 1993 — This principle is made public}
Man’s Voice:
Let me explain using a diagram. Here we have a motor with a permanent magnet imbedded, with protruding magnets placed around its frame. With the core magnet, those individual magnets are magnified and through switching these individual magnets, the motor turns.
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
With sequential switching of the external magnets, the motor turns and increases its speed. This principle can be applied to both direct and alternating current motors.
Script on Screen:
[Staff Member: Isamu Fukui]
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
We place a very powerful permanent magnet into the rotor. This is a direct current motor employing the permanent magnet principle.
Script on Screen:
[Direct current motor]
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
What we had here was an output exceeding 100%. Seeing the results, the professors were amazed.
Kawai:
Where did this extra output come from? This is really a revolutionary find!
Mukaidono:
This can only be attributed to an extremely higher level (magnitude) of electron levels.
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Now we begin an examination of this extraordinary motor. In February the engineers of the Sumitomo group examined the motor.
Mukaidono:
The rotational speed is very high ...
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
They check to see that all data achieved are correct.
Kawai:
We checked to see that the same readings were gained on other meters; not just the ones we used in our initial experiments.
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Prof. Kawai feels that they have laid the foundations of the principle; now, it’s time for private enterprises to utilise these findings.
Script on Screen:
[Narration = Miki Aoki]
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Now, they will apply the principle to existing motors (that are out on the market).
Script on Screen:
[Experimenting with store-bought motors]
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
The turning ability of the motor is increased and efficiency is also greatly increased; 92 - 98% is achieved.
Script on Screen:
[Sumitomo Aerospace Unit 2, Division Chief Hiroshi Tamagawa]
Tamagawa:
What we have here is a curious phenomenon whereby we’ve come up with a better motor.
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Prof. Mukaidono has come to check the meter reading and data.
Mukaidono:
We’re seeing what levels can be achieved with existing motors using our principle. We’re now showing 0.66 amps. Rotational speed is 1500 RPM and shows no change.
Script on Screen:
[Prof. Mukaidono]
Mukaidono:
Same amps and same voltage ... seeing this, what we have here is a motor that we’ve never seen before. With better output, we’ll have a better, more efficient motor. If motor builders take a look at this, they’ll be just amazed!
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
Prof. Otsuki has also arrived to take a careful look.
Script on Screen:
[Prof. Otsuki]
Otsuki:
I sure am surprised. The utility rate is up by 15 - 20%. Using conventional oil-based energy, the best one can expect is an energy savings of 5%. This is dramatic energy savings — perfect.
Script on Screen:
[Magnet-Powered Car]
Narrator Woman’s Voice:
The principle can be applied to running cars, trains, and also the running of household appliances. The energy is highly efficient, economical, and very clean.
Script on Screen:
[Prof. Kawai]
Kawai:
We’ve discovered that these secrets were present in our surroundings (Nature) all along ... we can now use them to help restore the environment that man has been abusing.
Newscaster Man’s Voice:
This is good, clean energy ... amazing!
Newscaster Woman’s Voice:
And, there’s no waste materials produced ... truly the source for cleaner, more efficient energy for the future.
