WO 01/52390 A1 is a PCT application attributed to John C. Bedini, discussed in the source archive Bedini dossier through a critique by William Alek of INTALEK, INC. The dossier does not reproduce the application's full text; it quotes one passage and summarizes Alek's reading.
Quoted passage (page 12, line 4)
"… the motor to produce an energy level of COP = 0.98, more or less, depending upon configuration, circuitry, switching elements and the number and size of stators, rotors and coils that comprise the motor."
Alek's reading
According to the dossier, Alek concludes that the patent suggests the possibility of over-unity but claims no actual over-unity. The COP = 0.98 figure applies to the electrical and electronic components only and excludes battery charging inefficiency. Alek estimates the overall system COP at roughly 0.85 — "a long way from being a 'self-runner.'"
This is one of the few quantitative statements in the dossier that points below unity rather than above it, and it stands in tension with the dossier's framing.
