Introduction: Imagine a Magnet Motor
Imagine a motor that is propelled by magnets only. No electricity in;
no petrol in; just torque out, to be used to turn a generator, or a drive shaft.
Though science does not yet have models to describe how this works, it may have
to do with harnessing the power of magnetic fields, similar to how a wind
turbine harnesses wind -- unseen, but powerful. Yet unlike solar or wind
energy, magnet motors seem to tap into an energy source is constant -- or at
lease so it would seem.
Many thousands of individuals have chased such a dream, and some claim to have
achieved eureka. But as of yet, none of these have arrived into the
marketplace.
Some notice that the magnets wear down, suggesting perhaps that the energy that
went into charging the magnets is somehow being drained out to make the motor
run. That is interesting science, but is not practical in terms of energy
generation.
Others, however, claim that the devices they have invented turn with no
diminishing of the Gauss of the magnets. So what you have there is a motor
that you could plunk down just about anywhere (environmental
conditions/protection depending), and it will run continuously, with no visible
energy input, needing only occasional maintenance of the bearings and
such. Heat is the enemy for such a system, because at higher temperatures,
the magnetism of the magnets is lost.
Of all the free energy technologies, from solar and wind, to cold fusion and
zero point energy, the magnet motor is probably the sexiest in terms of the many
barriers of science it upends. There it is spinning away, in violation of
known laws of physics, creating useful energy.
What we present here is a set of open source instructions of how allegedly to
build such a device.
Not Validated
I should add a caveat that at this early point we have not yet validated these
claims through a replication of our own at PES Network, Inc. Rather, we
are sharing these things with those of you who might not mind going out on a
limb, to pioneer the establishing of these principles in an open source
environment of sharing what we each learn in our replication attempts.
The person who has conveyed these plans to me does not wish to be brought into
the spotlight. This is in part because he wants to avoid the possibility
of being intimidated by the powers that be that might try to bully him as they
have others with similarly revolutionary technologies that could upset the
present hierarchy, giving power to the people. He enjoys the quiet
lifestyle that he has, he values his anonymity, and does not want that to
change.
I will say that he is not a newcomer to me. I've corresponded with him
over the years and am quite familiar with his work and his reputation. He
seems to be a careful scientist, and a level-headed individual. Talking to
him by phone for the first time yesterday was a pleasure. He has been very
responsive by email to answer questions and provide information.
He said he has been chasing this dream with a passion, as a hobby, for nearly
twenty years. He has tried a lot of things that do not work. Now he
is sharing what he found does work.
He is not going to try and patent this; he's not going to try and take it to
market; he's not requesting that any commercial applications be cleared by him
first. It is a true open source project, with no known encumbrances.
Since he does not wish his name to be mentioned, we will refer to him here as
"The Inventor" (initial cap). Though many of these ideas are
things he garnered from elsewhere, there are some aspects for which
"inventor" is a fitting term.
Background and Source Material
The Inventor has spent a lot of time reviewing other claims to working magnet
motors, especially the Perendev,
the Howard
Johnson, and the Bowmann.
In particular, he said he spent a great deal of time studying the video
of the Perendev motor in motion. What he presents here is based primarily
on the Perendev
design by Michael J. Brady.
Commencing this Open Source Project
A few days ago, after viewing a video
of my unfruitful 1/4-scale replication attempt via the personnel at PerenTech,
The Inventor sent me an email offering to help me to get it to run.
We hope that these designs are described adequately in the linked material for
the diligent investigator to piece together what he/she needs to know, with the
addition of the keys provided in this present article.
In the coming days, we expect that those who join in this open
source project will successfully replicate the design; and then produce
straight-forward instructional documentation, along with photos, videos, and
other evidences.
Full Disclosure
Let me add a footnote here regarding my involvement with Mike Brady and Perendev.
I spent about three years working as an associate of Mike's, and started a
company called PerenTech, to manage the the
North American manufacturing and marketing rights for his magnet motor. I
made a trip to Johannesburg, South Africa, in Dec. 2002, with the objective of
viewing the motor and finalizing a relationship. I own Perendev.com.
I've detailed
my three-year relationship with Mike in a previous document.

in place. Dec. 2002; Johannesburg. |
Mike subsequently moved his operations to Munich Germany, and as far as I
know is still pursuing the ironing out of bugs and preparing to take the device
to market.
Probably the most frequently asked question of me is whether or not I personally
saw the motor in operation. The answer to that question is
"no". However, I do believe that what is being shown in the video
that he produced a couple of months after our visit is genuine, and does not
involve trickery, though the video is not skeptic-proof (e.g. he does not do a
walk-around during acceleration).
Encumbrances?
Another pertinent question in this present context is whether or not there might
be encumbrances with this present disclosure of technology, which impinge on
Mike Brady's design. As mentioned above, the short answer is
"no".
First, The Inventor obtained his knowledge from material that Mike Brady
approved for public release. The Inventor's ability to make it work did
not involve the disclosure to him of proprietary information.
Second, Perendev's intellectual protections by way of patent appear to be weak,
if not non-existent. As far as I know, he has never produced anything to
verify the existence of patent protection. And others have expressed their
professional opinion that his design is probably not patentable because it
impinges on other designs, which either have been in the public domain to the
point of not being patentable, or which impinge on patents that have expired,
such as the first Howard Johnson magnet motor patent. (Ref.)
This is not to say that there might not be certain aspects of the Perendev
design that Mike Brady has been able to keep proprietary, out of public
knowledge, which will still give him an edge in the market should he ever
finally get that far. The present design does not impinge on those, so far
as I know. And even if it did, because it was arrived at independently,
outside of any NDA framework, it is fair game.
Furthermore, I will say that what The Inventor describes here as being the keys
to make this motor work are not what had been conveyed to me by Mike
Brady. This is the first time I have heard of this.
The Keys
According to The Inventor, the key to making this motor work is really quite
straightforward. It can be summarized as follows:
- Key: The N-S polarity of the cylindrical rotor magnets is top to
bottom, while the N-S polarity of the same-shaped stator magnets is front to
back.
Key: N faces outward in the rotors. The N end of the
stator magnet is on the receiving end in the direction of rotation, so that
the like-polarity repulsion is the first thing the individual rotor magnet
sees as it passes by. This may seem counter-intuitive, but it
just may be the yin-yang reason why this orientation works, and why the
secret has evaded so many for so long.
- Key: The spacing between the rotor magnets, from the leading
edge of one to the trailing edge of the next, should be 1/2x the diameter of
the magnet.
- Key: The spacing between the stator magnets, from the
leading edge of one to the trailing edge of the next, should be 1x the
diameter of the magnet.
- He prefers 1" diam. x 1" length neodymiums, but says it is scalable
according to the above formula.
- Key: For shielding, he uses regular steel conduit, cut to the
length of the magnet.
- Key: To achieve additional torque, he said one can add
shielding to the leading edge of the rotor magnet (he did not elaborate
shape or position).
- Key: He uses no shielding on the stator magnets.
- Key: The number of rotor magnets should be a multiples of
three (scalable).
- Perendev: Based on what he saw on the Perendev, he calculated the
angle of the magnets in the rotor and the stator to be 18Ί from 90Ί from
tangent. There are three rotors and three stators (separated by
[approximately 2] ___ x diameter of magnet). The rotors share a common
shaft. The rotors are offset from one another by an equal amount, so
that the advancing distance from rotor 1 to 2 to 3 and back to 1 is
equal. The placement of magnets in the three stators is uniform from
one stator to the next. In the Perendev model, the stators open and
close in a clam-shell arrangement (which puts limits on the placement of
magnets about the stator where you want them). In PerenTech's
1/4-scale variant, the stators slide in from the side, and do not have an
articulating point (as is found in the clam-shell).
Very Rough Sketch (not to scale)
Replications
I repeat. This information has not been verified by PES. We do
not make any guarantees that it works as described. It is presented here
in hopes that one of you out there might be able to verify it, and be willing to
go on record as having done so. Once we get two or three solid
verifications, then we can go full-throttle on this open source project.
