Claims to Operational Units

• Perendev's Magnet Motor - Claims 20 kW force output experimentally measured, with no diminution of Gauss in an all-magnet motor.

• Bowman Permanent Magnet Motor - 1954 variation of the Peregrius (Perrigrinus) motor (1269). Purportedly ran for 1 year, after which the Alcomax magnets were tested and shown to have not diminished in strength.
  • Bowman Motor Open Sourcing Project - Plans posted based on a design that worked for ~3 months before it ran down due to demagnetization of the magnets.  Some speculate that a different orientation that doesn't stress the magnets as much might work better.  No one has yet been able to replicate a working device from the plans.
• What Happened to This One? - "Back in the early 80's, a gentlemen was on T.V showing his magnet powered home using a generator approximately three square feet in size.  The top was domed.  The unit itself look like a ball, to start the generator the man just spun the ball and the generator started/kept spinning. sometime later I heard this man was trying to work with ray-o-vac to develop a electrical storage unit for his generator. I've never heard or seen anything since. The units propulsion was opposing magnet fields." -- Jeff Drescher <cosmo222{at}adelphia.ne*t>

Mikell Claims to have Built a Working All Magnet Motor - stator-armature arrangement description resembles Brady's perendev motor.  Later, same person poses as uncle, saying "don't build it, it doesn't work; it's very dangerous. You don't know what you're dealing with."

Wesley Gary Magnet Motor - 1880's Pennsylvania, USA, using ferromagnetic phenomenon; self-running (tapping zero point?).  Published in Harpers' magazine.

Telesis Magnet Motor with Superconducting Shielding - Plans posted for magnetic motor with superconductor stator magnet shields articulating in proper sequence to induce rotation. No working prototype has been achieved, but a prototype has been built. (PESWiki)

MXLO Magnet Motor DC Generator Plans - MagnetHealer.com claims to have working electricity generating unit of approximately one cubic foot in size (scalable), producing in the range of 50 - 280 V DC. Claims that assembly is easy. No replications have worked of 14 known attempts as of June 30, 2004.

• Mag-Gen Magnet Motor [link broken, see archive.org back-up] - "I am now working on putting together two products for immediate purchase.  1. A tabletop working model.  2. An electricity generating model to power a light bulb.  You will soon be able to purchase small, medium, and large gensets to power larger applications."
• MagnetMotor.ch
• Psitronics' Self-sustaining "Free Energy" Permanent Magnet Motors
  Claims 600 HP prototype completed (~458 kw), adequate to power 18-wheeler trucks.  Most likely more wishful thinking than reality.

Not Quite All-Magnet Motor

• Franc Jakelj Magnet Motor -- Partially Electric - Allan Hegland, witness of the original prototype, is garnering funds to perfect the design and take the technology to market. Three Jakelj patents.  (GTFE Directory)

Kohei Minato and the Japan Magnet Fan Company - A maverick inventor's breakthrough electric motor uses permanent magnets to make power, using just 20% the typical input power, without generating heat or noise. (Japan.com) (Submitted by Eric Vogels) Minato Update - I spoke with two different individuals today who had engineers travel to Japan to look at Minato's motor.  Both, after careful investigation, concluded that it is not an over unity device, and is not even that efficient as motors go. -- Sterling D. Allan; July 8, 2004.

Tinkering

• Alnico Magnet Motor by Ron Viellieux - Propulsion works for a portion of a turn. Will it also work for full rotation?
• Keith Cochrane's Magnetic Motor Design - Theory only, no working prototype.

Patents

• Butler's Encyclopedia of Incredible Patents, Permanent Magnet Propulsion, Permanent Magnet Motors - Conveniently bound and indexed into one encyclopedia; 8½ x 11, comb bound, 230 pp.

Design Proposals

PM3 Permanent magnet machine - Original project by Felipe Gonzales for a permanent magnet machine. Computer simulations show that it is able to run. This machine is based on theory of TOMI tracks.

• FE Historic Reprint >

  The Symmetrical Permanent Magnet Motor by Tom Bearden Discusses standard physics models for magnet interaction in a rotor-stator configuration.  Proposes model in which "vacuum" energy contributes to the mix to overcome net attraction repulsion.  5 pp. including 6 figures.

Goebke's Magnet Motor Design - Explanation, photos, commentary.  "The only problem is, that he used the wrong permanent magnets and the motor came to a standstill after a few minutes due to eddy currents inside the magnets (Neo magnets conduct themselves!) discharged the magnets themselves.  Now he will try it with ferrite magnets!"  commentary here

Calloway Motors - permanent magnetic motors, by repulsion and by pulse.

• Magnet Motor by Mike Rigby (Plans)
  High voltage, low amperage, makes for high power electromagnet.

Tom Ferko's Magnet-Gravity Motor Idea - Concept of combining gravity and magnetic forces to create rotational force came in a dream. Looking for feedback.
