This sounds like a variation of the SMOT ball theme. Does anyone know anything about it?
Are there any patents for this Keith? =========================================== Howard Johnson Witness Wants to See Linear Magnet Accelerator Developed ------------------------------------------- B.D. visited the famed Howard Johnson back in 1981 after a 1980 Science & Mechanics article featured Johnson's claim to an all- magnet motor. Having worked closely with him from that time, he would like to see the linear accelerator concept developed. by Sterling D. Allan Pure Energy Systems News B.D., who asks that his name not be publicized, met Howard Johnson back in 1981 after a 1980 Science & Mechanics article featured his all-magnet motor. He sought to pursue the development of Howard Johnson's technology, seeking to line up funding and a means to develop the technology to bring it to market. Though frustrated with Johnson's lack of cooperation and scientific rigor in proving his all-magnet motor claim, B.D. has remained impressed with the linear accelerator that he witness first-hand. "Present physics says this is impossible," says B.D., "but I saw it with my own eyes, and held it in my hands." The device takes a stationary object and accelerates it through a series of magnets, making it shoot out the other end of the magnet tunnel. "There has to be a practical application for this," says B.D., who has retired from the electronics industry after being in it for 40 years. He wasn't impressed with the magnet rotor because the stator was held by hand, when it would have been a five-dollar task to affix it in an adjustable jig. "You couldn't rule out the possible imposition of energy from the person holding the magnet oscillating it while trying to hold it still." B.D. visited Johnson again in 1982 along with an entourage that had chartered a private plane for the trip, intent on securing a licensing agreement. Johnson said he was "not interested." He said was working on a 5 kW generator version. That never happened. Then, in June, 2000, B.D. flew again to visit Johnson. "He had less then than he did in 1982," said B.D. Johnson felt bad that B.D. had gone through so much trouble to travel to meet him, only to be so let down, so he handed him some papers regarding the linear accelerator technology. That was the last time he spoke with Johnson. B.D. says he also has several documents of interest regarding Johnson's magnet motor. He has transcript copies of the trial that was held in which his magnet motor design was finally awarded a patent because of the linear accelerator prototype that was presented in court as proof of concept. He has test data from the CTEC test laboratory. Though his non-disclosure agreements with Johnson will prevent him from sharing certain things, B.D. said he would like to help move this technology forward in ways that he can. He said that he has collected tons of literature on these kinds of things, and that he would put PES Network Inc. in his will to receive it. Hopefully he will be able to do something useful with it long before then, within the scope of the agreement he had with Howard Johnson. =========================================== Having read the history of the Finsrud machine I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that is only quasi modo's who are ignorant of what is not supposed to happen that are capable of making such discoveries. The trouble is that without the scientific methodology they are incapable of bringing them to fruition. Cheers Frank Grimer
