Subject: Re: Sprain Mag Motor

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?

I might not have been clear about the rotor self-starting. With no load, I'm sure it will spin around. And without a load, it spins much faster as I witnessed. This is thanks to the microcontroller which shapes and times the pulse perfectly.

I was trying to replicate the patent which is what got me involved. I'm glad I got to meet the inventor. He went through every iteration that I had imagined and then some. Many worked but were not ou (one of his partners hates that term since energy must come from somewhere.) I'm going to finish my replication. I think I can make it spin, but it will not be ou. He stressed that those funds included payment to lawyers for patents, etc.

PS Paul, could you remind me what the acronym 'EMILIE' means (to my other address).
