John Roy Robert Searl (born 2 May 1932 in Wantage, Oxfordshire) is the self-styled inventor of the Searle Effect Generator (SEG), a supposed open system electrical generator capable of extracting clean and sustainable electrical energy from the environment, based on "magnetic waveforms that generates a continual motion of magnetized rollers around magnetized rings".[2] There is no independent evidence that the SEG works as claimed or has any useful electricity-generating capability.

[edit] Searl's statements
Searl says that he was employed as an apprentice engineer at Grays Inn Road, London.[1][better source needed]
Searl adds that, once assembled, it started rotating by itself, increasing speed gradually. It finally left ground and crashed into the ceiling. While Searl wondered how this could happen, he claims that the SEG drilled through the ceiling, then the roof and disappeared. He claims that the same happened to the following 5 (other sources quote 9) models. He says he built a flying machine based on this antigravity effect which he named Inverse-G-Vehicle (IGV).[3][better source needed]
[edit] Investigation of claims
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. Heerfordt says none of these claims could be verified. Gunnar Sandberg has never seen any of the effects described. Sandberg, as reported through Heerfordt, found Searl's son "who had seen disks being suspended from wires, so that they could be photographed, but who hadn't seen any demonstration of antigravity or free energy."[4][better source needed][5][better source needed]
[edit] Electricity theft conviction
Searl was convicted of stealing electricity by bypassing his electricity meter, and damaging the property of the electric company.[6] He then engaged in a vendetta against the electricity company.[7][8]
Searl says that the electric company confiscated his home SEG, which incited him to threaten the electric company. According to Searl's own account, a colleague of Searl's, Dr. George White, was aware of the home SEG. Searl says that White saw the device working when he showed up against instructions.[9]
