A Few Magnet Motors

"Although originally suggested by Nikola Tesla in 1905,
only a few permanent magnet motors-generators have been designed, that is, magnet motors where the power comes from the magnets, not an external, exaustable supply of electricity."

"Engineers of Hitachi Magnetics Corp. of California have stated that a motor-generator run solely by magnets is feasible and logical but the politics of the matter make it impossible for them to pursue developing a magnet motor or any device that would compete with the energy cartels."

As Telsa has told us, the universe is full of electric, electromagnetic, energy. Today scientists say the universe is 60% "Radient/Dark" energy. So, magnets are just focusing, channeling, that energy. ...

Proof of Concept,
Disproof of conventional theory belief

two magnets, underneath, and a circular sliding scale
arrangement of steel rods above

The builder says:
"It is basically a cylinder with flat screws attached to the outside. I mounted this on a hard drive spindle. Four neodymium magnets line up with the four rows of screws. The magnets are attracted to the screws, but are attracted more to the heads than the tail ends. The head of a bottom-row screw will be attracted to the bottom-most magnet. So will the head of the screw above it. The cylinder will turn to compensate this imbalance. The same with the next two rows of screws. The lowest magnet now prefers the head of the next screw rather than the tail of the previous screw because magnets are attracted more to the thicker part of the screw. When I move the magnets close enough, the magnetic attraction makes it spin. On a large scale it could produce useful energy."

Here is a second youTube video where it runs smoothly and gains speed, though it is fairly dark.

A person can get a package of 5 ceramic bar magnets for $3 at Radio Shack, or larger bar magnets at Radio Shack for $2 each. (the cost of magnets has "shot up!" only a year or 2 ago they were half this price.)

We invite anyone who knows of a cheap disk on an axle at walmart, kmart, target, Sears, anywhere commonly available (from a toy?), that can be used to try 1 or more of these arrangements of magnets and metals (or another source of some cheap magnets) to comment on it at the bottom of this page.

Mr. Howard Johnson's was one. He has arranged a series of permanent magnets on the rotor and a corresponding series - with different spacing - on the stator. One simply has to move the stator into position and rotation of the rotor begins immediately. see patent and Science & Mechanics magazine article

NSA and Sterling D. Allan both fooled by hoax

April 3, 2009
NSA takes magnet motor and papers
by Sterling D. Allan; Pure Energy Systems News

"Mylow" (Jose Enrique [Ricky] Concepcion) of Chicago, said that last night (April 2nd 2009), his lawyer, who he was expecting, unexpectedly brought with him a man in a dark suit (NSA) and briefcase, who looked and acted very intimidating. They ended up taking his motor, all his papers, and left him with a note warning him to not say anything about this or to tell anyone or to post any more videos but said that it was in his best interest to just leave it alone.

"...the Congressman's secretary had been able to confirm that an NSA visit did indeed take place with Mylow on Friday. "

The (youtube) video:
Note that in the beginning, the motor accelerates, as he had just started it. Then it reached equilibrium and gradually slows through the remainder of the video.
"...analysis of the rotation speeds shows that the only time the devices show acceleration is when not all the device is shown, allowing for some kind of external assist to take place ... When the entire motor is in view, invariably the motor is decelerating as you would expect if there were no magic taking place in the magnets."
"...what people had thought might be the same fish line in the earlier low-resolution YouTube videos was shown to be just a scratch on the dresser top where the motor was setting. However, other evidence that has unfolded in recent days in analyzing Mylow's earlier videos dismisses every one of them as also employing fakery."

Today:
"Wang ShenHe, who has designed and built an electrical generator of five kilowatt capacity. This generator is powered by permanent magnets and so uses no fuel to run. It is on public demonstration at the Shanghai World Expo from 1st May 2010 to 31st October 2010 and some 70,000,000 visitors have the opportunity to see it in operation. Two of these generators successfully completed the Chinese government's mandatory six-month "Reliability and Safety" testing program in April 2008. One large Chinese consortium has started buying up coal-fired electricity generating stations in China in order to refurbish them with pollution-free large versions of Wang's generator.

"For more than forty years, Wang could not explain the source of energy. He had rotating prototypes but could not get support. When he used the Lee-Tseung theory to explain to Officials and Scientists the workings of his rotating prototype, he got funded - that process took thirty more demonstrations and six more months.

"The figure to the left shows Mr. Wang ShenHe, many years ago, in his home with his early prototype, 1 kW Electricity Generator. An improved version of this generator is now available for all to see and purchase. The best thing about this invention is the lack of any electronics. The device rotates as soon as it is assembled.

"The picture below shows the 225 HP Pulse-motor from the USA. The electromagnets on the outer cylinder pulse-rotate the inner cylinder which has permanent magnets.

"The inventor has had the working prototype since 1992. He has had visitors from the top universities in the USA including Harvard, MIT and Stanford, trying to explain the source of energy without any success.

"It is just Pulse-Rotation of permanent magnets in Magnetic Fields. The electromagnets on the outer cylinder repel the permanent magnets in the inner cylinder to provide the rotation.

[Notice the strong similarity between the magnet motor described and shown here (above and below) and the demonstration magnet motor in the "free energy screw magnet motor" video above.]

The heavy rotor provides some flywheel effect which helps with the operation of the system. Even with one generator (instead of the 4 shown above) as demonstrated in a recent video demonstration of the effect, below, where a simple system produces 144 watts of excess power. However, the really big gains are got when several generators are driven by just the one motor.

Kohei Minato's Magnetic Motor

Kohei Minato and the Japan Magnetic Fan Company

"When we first got the call from an excited colleague that he'd just seen the most amazing invention -- a magnetic motor that consumed almost no electricity -- we were so skeptical that we declined an invitation to go see it. If the technology was so good, we thought, how come they didn't have any customers yet?

"We forgot about the invitation and the company until several months later, when our friend called again. "OK," he said. "They've just sold 40,000 units to a major convenience store chain. Now will you see it?" In Japan, no one pays for 40,000 convenience store cooling fans without being reasonably sure that they are going to work.

"Looking carefully at the rotor, we see that it has over 16 magnets embedded on a slant... She then moves us to the next device, a weighty machine connected to a tiny battery. Apparently the load on the machine is a 35kg rotor, which could easily be used in a washing machine. After she flicks the switch, the huge rotor spins at over 1,500 rpms effortlessly and silently. Meters show the power in and power out. Finally, a power source of 16 watt or so is driving a device that should be drawing at least 200 to 300 watts.

Nobue explains to us that this and all the other devices only use electrical power for the two electromagnetic stators at either side of each rotor, which are used to kick the rotor past its lockup point then on to the next arc of magnets. Apparently the angle and spacing of the magnets is such that once the rotor is moving, repulsion between the stators and the rotor poles keeps the rotor moving smoothly in a counterclockwise direction. Either way, it's impressive.

First, she shows us the cooling fan prototype that is being manufactured for a convenience store chain's 14,000 outlets (3 fans per outlet). The unit looks almost identical to a Mitsubishi-manufactured fan unit next to it, which is the unit currently in wide use. In a test, the airflow from both units is about the same.

Troy Reed's Magnetic Motor

Troy Reed:
In around 1994, Troy Reed built his magnet motor-generator and powered his car with it. With around 7 kilowatts of output, it was powerful enough to run a house or a car. "Convert your car to surge technology. No need for charging stations. Car runs and produces its own power in a loop. No need for lithium batteries"
- Troy Reed
From 1980-1995, Troy allegedly built a generator that was powering his own home (and some of the neighbors, when the power went out). Usually it put out around 15-30 kW, but it was capable of putting out 70 kW.
1999:
Reed admitted on tape that the magnet motor was not yet self-sustaining.
Actor, Dennis Weaver helped promote Troy Reed's technology - organized a cross-country demonstration. but apparently to no avail.

In the video he demonstrates getting it "up to speed" with conventional power after which, the magnetic generator (almost) sustains itself.

Perendev magnet motor inventor arrested for embezzlement

After declaring bankruptcy in Germany, Mike Brady rented a house at Lake Zurich in Switzerland and leased a fleet of Maseratis and several Range Rovers. He was arrested on March 29th 2010 and extradited to Germany where 61 customers wanted their money back ($1 million Euros+) for non-delivered 100 and 300-kw electromagnetic motors.

[There were] 61 German customers, many of whom paid half down on the purchase price of 20,000 to 40,000 Euros for a generator. The total amount embezzled is estimated to be 1 million Euros -- and that is just from German customers. He was pre-selling these worldwide.

It turns out that he probably pirated the technology from a South American inventor who patented a nearly identical concept long before, in 1990 (of which I have a copy). That inventor remembers getting frequent calls from a guy in Johannesburg asking in-depth questions about how the magnet motor worked. That inventor went on to other things, tiring of the continued skepticism about it, and discouraged by the degaussing of the expensive ceramic magnets that he used in his design. (The contact in S. America requested not to be identified or contacted.)

In addition to the magnetic and electromagnetic motors, Brady also claimed to have a 60 kW nitrogen motor for non-polluting power for motor boats. One person reported: "His nitrogen motor works, but the consumption of nitrogen is excessively high, and the performance output is not good -- not suited for any motor vehicle." He was also working on a hydroxy system, which had some of the same elements as above: claim of unprecedented output from his special electrolysis, but without substantiation. For a few years, he was selling a magnetic ring the customer was to wear to boost health.

Wesley Gary's Electro-magnetic Motor

born in 1837

Gary's 2nd patent
U.S. Patent 190,206
(May 1, 1877)

Improvement in Electromagnetic Motors, by Wesley W. Gary

To all whom it may concern:

My invention consists in the use of a reciprocating electromagnet, the poles of which are changed at each movement, between two permanent magnets arranged with their reverse poles opposite each other; in a peculiar arrangement of devices for reversing the current, and in other details hereinafter describe.

The object of my invention is to apply and fully utilize, in an electric motor, the power of permanent magnets, and to develop from them the greater part of the power, so that motors of great power may be actuated by means of small electromagnets, and a correspondingly small expenditure of battery power.

This end I attain by arranging two permanent magnets at a short distance apart, with the negative pole of each opposite the positive pole of the other, and then arranging between them an electromagnet attached to the driving mechanism, and connected with an automatic pole changing device, so that the electromagnet is attracted and repelled by the two permanent magnets alternately, one attracting it at the same time that it is repelled by the other. In this way I am enabled to employ constantly and directly the full power of the electromagnet and both permanent magnets. As it makes no difference in the power of the motor whether the force to move the vibrating magnet emanates from permanent or the electromagnet, it is obvious that the same results may be obtained by the use of strong permanent magnets in connection with a weak electromagnet as are obtained by the use of weak permanent magnets and a strong electromagnet, so that on my plan I am enabled to construct motors of large size and power, and operate them with small batteries at a trifling cost.

By increasing the power of the permanent magnets the power of the motor may be increased to any extent required without increasing the amount of battery power required, thus producing a large motor, which may be operated with the same battery power as a small one.

In practice, however, it will be found best to increase the size and power of the electromagnet and its battery in proportion to the increased power of the permanent magnets.

Modifications of the Wesley W. Gary motor

the Ecklin Generators

John W. Ecklin was granted US Patent Number 3,879,622 on 29th March 1974. The patent is for a magnet/electric motor generator which produces an output greater than the input necessary to run it. There are two styles of operation. The main illustration for the first is: [an inferior variation, it seems]

Here, the idea is to use a small low-power motor to rotate a magnetic shield to mask the pull of two magnets. This causes a fluctuating magnet field which is used to rotate a generator drive.

In the diagram above, the motor at point "A" rotates the shaft and shielding strips at point "B". These rectangular mu-metal strips form a very conductive path for the magnetic lines of force when they are lined up with the ends of the magnets and they effectively shut off the magnet pull in the area of point "C". At point "C", the spring-loaded traveller is pulled to the left when the right-hand magnet is shielded and the left hand magnet is not shielded. When the motor shaft rotates further, the traveller is pulled to the right when the left-hand magnet is shielded and the right hand magnet is not shielded. This oscillation is passed by mechanical linkage to point "D" where it is used to rotate a shaft used to power a generator.

As the effort needed to rotate the magnetic shield is relatively low, it is claimed that the output exceeds the input and so can be used to power the motor which rotates the magnetic shield.

---

The second method for exploiting the idea is shown in the patent as:

Here, the same shielding idea is utilised to produce a reciprocating movement which is then converted to two rotary motions to drive two generators. The pair of magnets "A" are placed in a housing and pressed towards each other by two springs. When the springs are fully extended, they are just clear of the magnetic shield "B". When a small electric motor (not shown in the diagram) moves the magnetic shield out of the way, the two magnets are strongly repelled from each other as their North poles are close together. This compresses the springs and through the linkages at "C" they turn two shafts to generate output power.

---

---

the Ecklin-Brown Generator

A modification of this idea is the Ecklin-Brown Generator. In this arrangement, the movable magnetic shielding arrangement provides a direct electrical output rather than a mechanical movement:

Here, the same motor and rotating magnetic shield arrange- ment is used, but the magnetic lines of force are blocked from flowing through a central I-piece. This I-piece is made of laminated iron slivers and has a pickup coil or coils wound around it.

The device operates as follows:

In the position shown on the left, the magnetic lines of force flow downwards through the pickup coils. When the motor shaft has rotated a further ninety degrees, the situation on the right occurs and there, the magnetic lines of force flow upwards through the pickup coils. This is shown by the blue arrows in the diagram. This reversal of magnetic flux takes place four times for every rotation of the motor shaft.

While the Ecklin-Brown design assumes that an electric motor is used to rotate the mu-metal shield, there does not seem to be any reason why the rotation should not be done with a permanent magnet motor.

 

Wesley W. Gary - Electromagnetic Motor, cont.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a top plan view of one form of my motor; Figure 2, a side elevation of the same; Figure 3, a detail view, illustrating the construction of the current changer.

A and B represent two horizontal permanent magnets, arranged one above the other, a small distance apart, with the positive pole of each opposite the negative pole of the other. C represents an electromagnet, secured to one end of a pivoted vibrating beam, D, which has its opposite end connected by a pitman, E, to a crank pin on a wheel, F, which is mounted on a main driving-shaft, G, as shown, so that the vibration of the magnet and beam will set the shaft in motion. The ends of the electromagnet C are flattened and extended between the permanent magnets A and B, and the parts so arranged that it is free to vibrate and carry the end of beam D up and down.

The magnet C is connected with a battery of any suitable kind; but between the magnet and the battery there is interposed a current charger, H, which reverses the current of electricity and changes the polarity of the magnet at the end of each vibration of movement, in consequence of which the magnet C is alternately repelled by the magnet A and attracted by magnet B, and then attracted by A and repelled by B, so that it is kept constantly moving up and down between them. The vibration of the electromagnet operates the beam D, which, in turn, through the pitman and crank, operates the shaft on which the wheel is mounted.

The current changer consists of a pivoted vibrating arm, H, having one end forked and operated by a tappet, c, attached to the beam D, and the other end provided with two spring conducting fingers, d and e, which are connected with opposite ends of the helix, and arranged to play over three metal plates, f, f, and g, the two former connected with the negative and the latter with the positive pole of the battery. The fingers always connect with the opposite poles of the battery, and each finger alternates from the positive to a negative plate, in such manner that the current of electricity has its course through the helix of the electromagnet reversed at each movement of the fingers.

In order that the permanent magnets may be adjusted in case of necessity, and that, when they are composed of a series of thin plates or magnets, plates may be added to or removed from the series in order to vary the strength of the magnets, they are mounted on vertical screws h, and secured by the nuts i, in the manner shown.

In practice I find that, in order to prevent the permanent magnets from affecting and partially neutralizing each other, the faces or poles of the electromagnet should be made as wide or wider than those of the permanent magnets.

It is also important that the poles of the electromagnet shall be flattened on the sides, in order that the entire faces may approach close to the faces or poles of the fixed magnets, which should be flattened in like manner.

I am aware that motors consisting of an outside circular series of permanent magnets and a central rotating series of electromagnets, the polarity of which is changed as they pass the others, is old; but my arrangement differs therefrom, and is superior thereto, in this, that I apply the power to move the magnet directly in the line or path of movement, while in the rotary machines, the power is applied at a tangent, and consequently at a great disadvantage.

I am aware that it is old to arrange a vibrating armature between two electromagnets which were either polarized alternately, or else their polarity reversed at each movement of the armature; but they differ in my engine, in that they derive their power wholly from the electromagnets, while in my engine the power is derived mainly from the permanent magnets, and also in that they require the use of two electromagnets, while in my engine one only is used.

My combination possesses the advantages of requiring but little battery power in proportion to the amount of power developed by the engine, and of permitting the vibrating parts to be made light, so that the engine may be operated with rapidity.

It is obvious that, instead of having a single electromagnet and one pair of permanent magnets at one end of the beam, there may be a similar combination used at each end or two or more combinations used at either end. It is also obvious that, instead of using the electromagnet of the horseshoe form, a straight one may be arranged transversely between the two permanent magnets.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim is:

1) The combination, in an electric motor, of two permanent magnets, A and B, and an electromagnet, C, connected with a pole-changing device, and arranged to vibrate between the permanent magnets, substantially as shown and described.

2) The combination of two permanent magnets, arranged with their reverse poles opposite to, but separated from, each other, and a reciprocating electromagnet connected with an automatic pole-changing device, substantially as described.

3) The combination, in an electric motor, of a reciprocating electromagnet, connected with an automatic pole-changing device, and two compound permanent magnets, arranged on opposite sides of the electromagnet, each consisting of a series of thin magnets, mounted in such a manner that the series may be increased or diminished at will, for the purpose of increasing or diminishing the power of the motor.

4) In combination with the magnets A and B and the vibrating electromagnet C, the beam D, provided with the tappet c, and the arm, provide with the fingers d and e, moving upon the plates f, f, and g, as shown.

Hopefully, the W. W. Gray motor - or one of Ecklin-Brown's variations - is so simple that everyone can build it and no one will be able to stop the "movement".

 

The announcement of the invention

The announcement of the invention of the magnetic motor was naturally received with incredulity, although the recent achievements in mechanical science had prepared the public for almost anything, and it could not be very much astonished at whatever might come next. Some admitted that there might be something in it; others shrugged their shoulders and said, "Wait and see', while the scientific referred all questioners to the laws of magnetic science; and believers in book authority responded, "It can't be so, because the law says it can't."

A few scientists, however, came forward, curious to see, and examined Mr. Gary's models; and when reports went out of the conversion of two or three of the most eminent among them, interest generally was awakened, and professors from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology called, examined, and were impressed. More promptly than the scientists, capitalists moved; and before science had openly acknowledged the discovery and the principle of the invention, men of money were after Mr. Gary for the right to use the motor for various purposes: one wished to use it for clocks, another for sewing machines, others for dental engines, and so on.

It is as yet too soon to speculate upon what may result from the discovery; but since it produces power in two ways, both directly by magnets and indirectly by the generation of unlimited electricity, it would seem that it really might become available in time for all purposes to which electricity might long ago have been devoted except for the great expense involved. Within one year after the invention of the telephone it was in practical use all over the world, from the United States to Japan. And it is not incredible that in 1880 one may be holding a magnetic motor in his pocket, running the watch which requires no winding up, and, seated in a railway car, be whirling across the continent behind a locomotive impelled by the same agency.

Some basic observations concerning magnets

1. Two magnets repel further than they attract because of friction and inertia forces.
2. Most of our energy comes directly or indirectly from electromagnetic energy of the sun, e.g. photosynthesis and watercycle of ocean to water vapor to rain or snow to ocean.
3. Magnetic energy "travels" between poles at the speed of light.
4. Permanent magnets on both sides of an iron shield are attracted to the shield and only weakly to each other at close proximity to the shield.
5. Permanent magnets are ferrous metals. The attraction is an inverse square force.
6. Magnetic energy can be shielded.
7. The sliding or perpendicular force of a keeper is much less than the force in the direction of the field to remove the keeper.
8. Most of the magnetic energy is concentrated at the poles of the magnet.
9. A permanent magnet loses little strength unless dropped or heated. Heating misaligns the magnetic elements within the magnet.
10. If a weight lifted by a permanet magnet is slowly increased, the lifting power of the magnet can be increased until all the magnetic domains in the magnet are aligned in the same direction. This becomes the limit.
11. Using magnets to repel tends to weaken them as it causes more misalignment of the domains.

 

"It is absolutely essential to know that the universe is governed by perpetual motion, from the atom to the galaxy for "eternity past" and for "eternity future", producing its own movements independently without interruption."
