  • Patent number: 11496033
    Abstract: A device and method of producing electrical energy by gravitomagnetic induction utilizing Nano-features fabricated on an object surface of an object is presented. The Nano-features may include Nano-bumps and Nano-pits. One device version includes a computer hard disk, a piezoelectric glide head, and/or a GMR read head, a prior art hard drive module electronics. By spinning the nano-features disk one produces an associated magnetic force utilizing a GMR read head for producing power by the presence or the absence of matter on an object that is in motion relative to the GMR read head. A computer system generated by the alternate computer system generates gravito-magnetic energy to power itself and/or other electrical or electronic devices, and/or, detects patterns of asperities or bump on a hard disk to generate binary value private keys applicable in asymmetric cryptography, such as public key cryptography.
