I was actually thinking of the engineering-minded people who experiment with permanent magnet electric motors out of intuition. The bit about free energy was hyperbole of mine.

From 2021:

https://arxiv.org/abs/2105.05820 This is the numerical discovery.

I'm trying to decide if we are intentionally 'translating' these ideas from pure imagination down into technological applications through intermediate 'realms' of quasi-reality, or if building stuff with just intuition can still be accepted in the 21st century. The BS is just piled too high for me and my trust in technology is not great. Sometimes I wonder if we are just having a mass psychosis in a field of mud.

It looks similar but I'm not sure it's the same.

IIUC the new article is about taking a "photograph" of the magnetiation in a real sample, and the old article is a theoretical prediction. Perhaps the new article should be presented as a confirmation instead of a discovery, but press releas are full of omisions and overhype.
