Marcus Albert Reid (born December 27, 1968, Cape Town, South Africa) is a German inventor and researcher who works on quantum open systems and energy conversion mechanisms. He has developed energy models such as the Self-Symmetrizing Mechanism in Electromagnetic Systems and Asymmetric Electric Systems, focusing on energy as a function of time in his research on alternative energy systems.
Early life and education
[edit]Born to German parents, Reid moved to Munich, Germany, in 1978. He completed his formal education with a technical high school diploma and pursued self-directed studies in physics, quantum mechanics, and zero point energy extraction[1]. His interest in energy research grew in 1998 after encountering experimental studies on energy converters extracting energy from quantum effects (Nature, 27 September 2023)[2].
Career and Research
[edit]Symmetric- and Asymmetric Electric Systems
[edit]Reid’s research into quantum open systems began in the 1990s, leading to a meeting with Dr. Tom Bearden, a quantum open systems theorist, in 1999. This influenced Reid’s work on unbalanced energy systems. His Self-Symmetrizing Mechanism in Electromagnetic Systems offers a theoretical explanation for the conservation of energy, while his Asymmetric Electric Systems concept explores excess energy from spacetime structure[3].
Reid-Cell (RC)
[edit]Between 1998 and 2002, Reid conducted over 2,000 experiments that led to the development of the Reid-Cell (RC), formerly known as the Crystal-Cell. In 1999, he built a prototype claimed to generate a small electrical current continuously until today, noted for its non-electrochemical energy source. In 2024, Reid and his team proposed a model incorporating the Quantum Grotthuss Effect[4] and the quantum critical nature of water at room temperature[5] to explain the RC’s energy output. The RC is patent-pending.
Experimental Devices
[edit]Reid has worked on various experimental devices, including:
- Bowman Permanent Magnet Motor (1998) – A conceptual exploration of magnetic repulsion.
- Magnetsternmotor Series (2002–2005) – Motors utilizing permanent magnet interactions for mechanical power.
- A-DMS Generator (2006–2007) – A device exploring spin properties in Tunneling Magnetoresistance materials (TMR) for mechanical power.
- 1:1 Gear Transmission (2005) – A 1:1 gear transmission with unequal gear wheel diameters.
- Linear Motor (2006) – An experimental setup attempting to circumvent Newton’s third law.
- Ferrolelectric Crystal Oscillator (2015) – Spin-assisted ion acceleration from ferroelastic domain wall motions in quantum critical ferroelectrics.
Advanced Theoretical Concepts
[edit]Since 2020, Reid has explored quantum critical materials, introducing the concept of Multifunctional Conscious Materials (MCM). His research proposes a dual-ether framework (Thermal-Classical Ether and Quantum Ether), with time and consciousness as physical properties of the universe, tied to his broader study of energy interactions in quantum open systems.
Contributions and Recognition
[edit]His animated documentary Symmetric Electric Systems and the Energetic Exchange with the Quantum Vacuum (2008) has been viewed by physicists and energy researchers. Reid’s work has been presented at international conferences, including:
- Ninth Water Conference (2014, Bulgaria) – Presentation of the Reid-Cell, leading to the founding of Quantum Power Munich GmbH (QPM) with Christian von Kessel.
- MIT UnLab Conference (2020) – Presentation of the Self-Symmetrizing Mechanism.
- Master’s Thesis by Erik Hammer (TU Munich, 2020) – Reid’s Ferroelectric Crystal Oscillator (FCO) was cited as an experimental approach for a quantum open energy system.
- Japan Prize Nomination (2023) – Following a nine-year study of the Reid-Cell led by Prof. Amiran Aptsiauri (Georgia), Reid was nominated by Prof. Tengiz Jaliashvili for the 2025 Japan Prize.
Personal Life
[edit]Reid is an adventurer who has traveled across Africa, including expeditions in the Sahara Desert and navigating the Congo River on a self-built boat. These experiences have shaped his approach to scientific inquiry.
