Re: Sprain Mag Motor

[Nick Palmer]

Terry - this motor looks like another variation on the "regauging" idea. 
Permanent magnets on the rotor are attracted to others on the perimeter, 
spaced progressively closer to the rotor so there is a magnetic "hill" to go 
down. At the bottom of the hill is a pulsed electromagnet to pull the rotor 
magnet past the bottom of the hill and "regauge" it. Surely these motors 
fail because the amount of energy needed to "regauge" is equal to, or in 
excess of, that which can be extracted from the rotor as it goes round?
