A SpringBall, trademarked as SpringBall Infinite Energy, SpringBall IE, and MicoSpringBall-IE, is a device consisting of a compression spring and a heavy metal orb which continuously converts gravitational potential energy into stored elastic potential energy and generates thermal energy for use in an external circuit or machine. It is remarkable for having 100% thermal efficiency and producing zero waste heat, making it the most efficient method of power generation ever created. The first SpringBall was invented in 2023 by American talk show hosts Doug Bleichner and Sam Wagstaff. SpringBalls have been used to power motor vehicles, compact particle colliders, spinners, television studios, and are expected to power every electrical grid on the planet following the finalization of the patent process.

History

SpringBall was the result of a multiple independent discovery by talk show hosts Doug Bleichner and Sam Wagstaff, who simultaneously developed the first SpringBall prototypes in their separate garages. The hosts agreed to share and potentially release the patent in a venture independent from their parent companies MeMoreTV. They announced their creation to the public during a broadcast of their talk show Skeleton Realm LIVE! on February 1st, 2023.[1] One week later, the inventors announced the sale of patent to orb company Orbsmann's.[2] On February 15th, parent company The Fanmayer Group repositioned patent ownership from Orbsmann's R&D devision to Burlow Chemical.[3] On March 1st, Fanmeyer announced the licensing of the SpringBall patent, along with a $25 billion grant, to Texas-based startup SÜG Systems for the development of compact subatomic particle colliders.[4][5]
