Introduction by the Transcriber
This document has been written by me based on the long-term research, notes, and theories of my late father, Jerzy Żbikowski. As the guardian of his intellectual legacy, my goal is to present his revolutionary vision to the world in a form as faithful as possible to the original, while giving it a structure that will allow for a full understanding of its depth and potential.

Abstract
This document presents a revolutionary theory of energy generation, named "Energy from Time," authored by Jerzy Żbikowski. The theory, originating from Albert Einstein's fundamental formula E=mc², proposes its reinterpretation by breaking down the constant of the speed of light c into its components: distance l and time t. This leads to the conclusion that energy E is inversely proportional to time t, and therefore, its generation is possible through the mechanical reduction of time within a closed system. The paper describes the construction of a prototype device—a specialized mechanical transmission based on a unique, satellite-like power transfer design. It enables the driving and driven wheels, despite having different radii, to have the same number of teeth, which enforces identical rotational speed and leads to an increase in torque without a loss of angular velocity. The results of experiments conducted on working prototypes are also presented, confirming the practical feasibility of implementing the theory.
Chapter 1: Introduction – The Energy Crisis and the Need for a New Paradigm
Fire, the harnessing of which we have perfected, has for centuries been used by humanity as a primary source of energy. Human dominion over fire ensures it remains the main energy source. Humanity can extract natural resources hidden deep underground; however, the ever-increasing demand for fuel causes the deposits of gas and crude oil to permanently shrink. The moment the last drop of oil is burned is inevitably approaching.
It is necessary for an alternative to the current method of energy acquisition to emerge. It is the fear of losing the ability to use the achievements of civilization that drives people to search. Sources such as hydroelectric, wind, or solar power plants can only satisfy a small fraction of civilization's energy needs. Nuclear energy, due to the problem of radioactive waste and high costs and technological limitations, is also not an ideal solution, especially for poorer societies.
The problem of access to cheap and clean energy is the key to solving other global issues. It is the price of energy that determines economic development, social stability, and world peace. Universal and free access to energy sources would solve many problems plaguing humanity, but the solution is exclusively cheap and simultaneously clean energy. Does such a solution exist? Yes. Albert Einstein pointed to it the moment he formulated the theory of relativity.
Chapter 2: Theoretical Basis – A Redefinition of the E=mc² Formula
In May 1921, at Princeton University, Albert Einstein delivered a series of lectures discussing the essence of the theory of relativity, the crowning result of which is the statement that: E=mc² where c=constant
Hitherto, we know that energy can be obtained by changing (reducing) the mass m in the process of radioactive decay. Let us, however, consider that c² is the square of velocity, and therefore: c² = v² = (l/t)² = l²/t²
Substituting this into the original formula, we get: E = m(l²/t²)
Thus, we ultimately have three components whose change will affect the value of energy E: mass m, distance l, and time t. From the analysis of the formula, it follows that:
Increasing mass m increases energy E.
Increasing distance l increases energy E.
Increasing time t decreases energy E.
From this follows a fundamental, revolutionary conclusion: if we decrease the element of time t, we will then increase the energy E in the system.
Chapter 3: Device Description and Experimental Methodology
The "Energy from Time" theory posits the possibility of constructing a mechanical device capable of generating energy by manipulating time. The device is based on a system of two coupled wheels (K₁ and K₂) with different radii (r₁ < r₂). The force (F) generated on the circumference of the smaller (input) wheel is transferred to the circumference of the larger (output) wheel, which, at a larger radius, naturally generates a greater torque on the output axis relative to the input axis, according to the definition of torque (M = F × r).
In classical mechanics, in such a system, what is gained in torque (M), is lost in rotations (n). This process is reversible.
This theory, however, assumes the possibility of constructing a transmission where, despite the difference in radii and the resulting difference in torques (M₁ < M₂), it is possible to maintain the same number of rotations at the input and output of the system in the same unit of time (n₁ = n₂).
This means that the power at the output of the system (N₂ = M₂ * n/t) will be greater than the power at the input (N₁ = M₁ * n/t), leading to an increase of energy E in the system. The source of this increase is the shortening of the time t₂ needed for a point on the circumference of the larger wheel to travel the same distance, relative to the time t₁ of a point on the smaller wheel, while maintaining the same angular velocity.
Neutralization of Flawed Criticism Based on Classical Mechanics:
Any attempt to analyze this device using simplified models of a classic chain transmission is doomed to failure and leads to erroneous conclusions. Critics, focusing on the alleged effect of the "chain thickness" on the "effective radius" of the driving wheel, completely ignore the unique and innovative essence of this design.
The genius of this solution lies not in a simple chain, but in a specialized, satellite-like power transfer design. The force is not simply transferred along the circumference but is transformed, as a special chain design performs a module transformation from the module suitable for the smaller radius wheel to the module suitable for the larger radius wheel. The design key is the fact that the driving (input) and driven (output) wheels, despite having different radii, have the same number of teeth, which is achievable precisely because of the satellite mechanism. It is this feature that inevitably enforces the same angular velocity (n₁=n₂) on both wheels, leading to the phenomenon described in this theory.
The device is not a "perpetuum mobile" that creates energy from nothing. It is a more perfect form of a lever. The mechanism multiplies the force (in the form of torque), but thanks to its unique design, it does not pay the standard price of losing speed. Since the power at the output (N₂ = M₂ * n₂) is mathematically greater than the power at the input (N₁ = M₁ * n₁), because M₂ is greater than M₁, and n₂ is equal to n₁, this "surplus" of energy must come from somewhere. This surplus is precisely the "Energy from Time".
To verify the theory, three successive experiments were conducted on working prototypes.
Experiment 1: A prototype system of wheels coupled by a special chain, driven by an electric motor, demonstrated an increase in torque of approximately 17% at the output of the system while consuming the same amount of power. The results were, however, distorted by the high technical resistance of the prototype.
Experiment 2: A prototype, in which equal masses were suspended on wheels of equal radii mounted on the transmission's axes, showed a tendency to induce motion due to the difference in torques, but the motion was not continuous due to high technical resistance.
Experiment 3: A prototype with an improved gear engagement system was subjected to the same test as in Experiment 2.
Chapter 4: Results and Conclusions
The result of the third experiment constituted a practical confirmation of the "Energy from Time" theory. As recorded in the documentation:
"Continuous motion of equal masses m₁ and m₂ was observed as a result of the difference in torques M₁ and M₂ occurring on the interacting wheels, and the distances l₁ and l₂ traveled in the same time t by masses m₁ and m₂ are equal. This means that energy E was released, which manifested itself in the form of motion."
The experiments proved that it is possible to build a mechanical system which, by utilizing the phenomenon of time reduction within a single frame of reference, generates a surplus of energy, thus constituting a clean, cheap, and potentially unlimited source thereof. Its simplicity leads us to assert with absolute conviction that this is the solution to the pressing energy problem of humanity.
