magnetic engines

Directory of technologies and resources relating to the process of converting the power of magnetism into mechanical force and motion, with no other input. A magnetic motor (or magnet motor) is a device which converts power of or relating to or caused by magnetism (e.g., "magnetic forces") into mechanical force and motion, with no other input. It usually provides rotary mechanical motion. The machines that utilizes the properties of a magnet for mechanical energy. For systems that use electrical input along with magnetic, see Directory:Electromagnetic.

Overview

Updated August 2, 2011

As of today, there still are no plans that I know of that surely result in a magnet motor. However, that could change in the next few weeks, as someone has come forward with a design that they are talking about open sourcing. I'm in process of getting those, having a few built to confirm the design, and then publishing the plans.

Also, the number of people I have met who adamantly claim to have built a working all-magnet motor has increased; though I myself still have never seen one myself.

I've also met a person who is an extremely gifted inventor who told me that some 30 years ago he was told that at some point he would invent an all-magnet motor that would substantially help the planet. He seems to have been pushed closer to maybe finally getting around to that.

There is one alleged working design that I am confident is real, that has been powering a house for 1.5 years with only a 5% drop in magnetism over a 1 year period. The inventor doesn't want to take it forward himself, but he is willing to sell it outright to someone who will take it forward, for many million dollars. If you know someone who might be interested, let me know.

Conventional physics says that it is "impossible" for magnets to provide a primary energy source. Yet thousands of researchers worldwide have been pursuing the task of building a working magnet motor. Many claim to have achieved this objective. None has reached the marketplace yet.

Chris Cheng, a high school student from Sydney, Australia, sent us a simple version, from which this one evolved through a process of tinkering." (Museum of Unworkable Devices)

• The Astronaut's Magnetic Boots - Astronaut training boots had permanent magnets with "memory". The boots and references thereto disappeared from the literature for reasons suspected to do with the magnet motor application which "the powers that be" did not want released. Researcher John Reed uncovers the original Radus magnet boots from Radus' sister. (Chiniere.org; circa 2001-2005)

Dreieck Magnet Motor concept - No prototypes have been built yet for this design developed in Austria, which they are open sourcing. Their 2D computer modeling predicts a three-fold gain. They're hoping for help with 3D modeling. (PESWiki; Jan. 21, 2010)

Simulation error noted in Dreieck Magnet Motor concept - "Hohl's and many other's mistake is to take a limited 'snapshot' of a complete cycle. This limited zone or region of force, integrated (averaged) over the incomplete cycle path, then shows an apparent 'gain' or non-zero result!" 3D simulations suggest net zero gain.

  Detroit Magnet Motor Inventor Seeks Gauss Meter - An inventor in Detroit said that on Dec. 1 an all-magnet motor he's been working on began rapidly spinning by the power of magnetism alone. He is looking for someone in the Detroit area who has a gauss meter he could use to test the magnets to see if they are diminishing in strength. (PESWiki; Dec. 4, 2009)

Howard Johnson Magnet Motor Scam Hosted by ClickBank - ClickBank has been hosting a vendor that claims to have developed plans for a magnet motor that will power a house using less than $100 in parts, taking maybe a couple of hours to build, even by "newbies" -- obviously bogus. Furthermore, at least some of the plans are misnamed and plagiarized. (PESN and BeforeItsNews; March 17, 2012)

• Perendev Magnet Motor|Perendev Magnet Motor - Magnet motor now evolved into electromagnetic version available for licensing. 100 kW and 300 kW sizes allegedly in production. Evidence that this is so is lacking. With the electromagnetic version emerging, the all-magnet version has essentially been tabled. Millions have seen a video of the Perendev magnet motor produced in Feb. 2003.

Perendev closes its doors - Over the years, the term "Perendev" has become nearly synonymous with the idea of all-magnet motors. Citing the need for sole director, Michael Brady, to take care of severe legal proceedings abroad against his person, Perendev Power Holding AG is saying that he will not be able to attend to Perendev tasks, which may lead to its insolvency. Their website is gone. (PESN; April 14, 2010) (Comment)

• Calloway Magnet Motor Open Source Project - After two decades of finding out what won't work, Robert H. Calloway says he is ready to divulge how to build an operational all-magnet motor. Ends up being an intentional wild goose chase.

The underlying claim to free energy has yet to be satisfactorily proven -- at least to the level of rigor of being ready for marketplace feasibility.

Fish line mechanical drive discovered in Mylow magnet motor - Some keen observers have pointed out a cheater device, which when noticed becomes blatantly obvious: a drive mechanism via fish line. Was Mylow forced to do that as a ploy to discredit the entire operation which actually had some legitimate stuff, or was it all a strange hoax? (PESN; May 19, 2009) (Comment at Examiner.com)
