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).
