Glad you found the patent worthwhile like me. Unfortunately, I don't have a build of this device yet. I am quite new in building so winding coils, using microcontrollers, H-bridges, using MOSFETs are challenging to me so far. And mainly I didn't know how much of what to buy.
So I made a simulation. The input current is 100 mA, each coil has 1000 turns (he did say a lot of coil turns on the electromagnets Guests cannot see images in the messages.

If you want to check the simulation or modify it, I can share the Ansys maxwell project here.
When using square wave excitation nothing interesting happens. Unless I use sinusoidal excitation and set some parameters and by serendipity I get some oscillation that looks like it could do something interesting (as in the last post).
But since it reminds me of Figuera's generator a lot, I looked into that too, and found a lead that explains how time-varying electromagnetic field makes air ions go in a circle (of which there might be infinite amount) and they can be collected at the secondary coil. And there seems to be a way to figure out if that works using a pair of electromagnets, a coil and copper plate or mesh. So I am going to try that first and then see how to take that into account.
