This brief which I have written, shows the simplistic genesis of my interest in Szilard and the 2
law of thermodynamics, and also describes the highly controversial source of energy, or power
if you will, a magnetic field. A unique magnetic field, that I have worked to engineer and
develop, and I believe in fact fulfills the long-published theory, and thought experiments of Leo
Szilard. What I am working to prove out is the first power source, (energy conversion) without
the production of heat.

My family life first led me to the studies and teachings of Leo Szilard when I was about 10 years
of age. My eldest brother, Irwin, was an engineer at the time, working for Rockwell, after a stint
at Boeing, located in Everett, Washington. My eldest brother was 20 years my senior as a result
of a second marriage. Irwin had what could only be described as a great gift for designing
tooling and manufacturing jigs in the aerospace industry. He also had a great love of electronics
and electronics engineering. Irwin in the late 60s was assigned to the NASA facility in Newport
News, Virginia, working on space photography (transmission of photographic images to Earth
from space). Irwin always paid a visit to my mother and I each summer, in northwest Ohio, and
was always encouraging me to be interested in the sciences. More importantly scientific
“mysteries”.

My brother would stay with us typically for 2 to 3 weeks each year, and those visits are among
my fondest memories. Irwin was also extremely interested in what I can only described now as
“personalities “, rare individuals, with unique backgrounds in science or engineering. One
personality that would be attached to me through osmosis that summer was Leo Szilard; a
highly regarded, but relatively obscure scientist. Leo Szilard had passed away just a few years
earlier, in 1964. Leo Szilard not only conceived the nuclear chain reaction, but was also
responsible for the majority of the development of the nuclear reactor. Szilard’s penned letter
to the president, in 1939 and signed by Einstein was the genesis of the Manhattan Project.

My brother was also confrontational, never with me, but I witnessed his ravenous appetite for
debate, and spiritic high tension argument with adults on many occasions, over more than six
decades. Physics to politics, nothing off the table. Due to Irwin, I grew up with characters such
as Leo Szilard, Eric Laithwaite, Alfred Wegener, and Robert Goddard. I always thought is best to
pay attention to his teaching, and preaching and avoid the other side of his personality.

Leo Szilard’s paper entitled “On the Decrease of Entropy in a Thermodynamic System by the
Intervention of Intelligent Beings”, in no way swayed me from my primary interest at age 10,
which was the 1968 TV series “Batman”, but my brother thought it important enough to
