For hundreds of years, mankind has been trying to create an engine that will run forever. Now this question is particularly relevant, when the planet is inevitably moving towards the energy crisis. Of course, it may never come, but regardless, people still need to get away from the usual sources of energy and the magnetic motor is a great option.

What is a magnetic motor
All perpetual motors can be divided into 2 types:
- The first;
- The second.
As for the first, they are for the most part a figment of the fantasies of science fiction writers, but the second are quite real. The first kind of such engines extracts energy from nothing, but the second, gets it from the magnetic field, wind, water, sun, etc.
Magnetic fields are not only actively studied, but also there are attempts to use them as "fuel" for a perpetual motion machine. And many of the scientists of different eras have achieved significant success. Among the famous names, we can note the following:
- Nikolai Lazarev;
- Mike Brady;
- Howard Johnson;
- Kohei Minato;
- Nikola Tesla.
Special attention was paid to permanent magnets, which can regenerate energy literally from the air (world ether). Despite the fact that there is no full-fledged explanation of the nature of permanent magnets at the moment, humanity is moving in the right direction.
At the moment, there are several variants of linear power units, which have differences in their technology and assembly scheme, but work on the basis of the same principles:
- Operating thanks to the energy of magnetic fields.
- Pulsed action with the possibility of control and an additional power source.
- Technologies that combine the principles of both power units.
General structure and principle of operation
Motors on magnets, are not like the usual electric ones, in which the rotation is due to the electric current. The first version will only work thanks to the constant energy of the magnets and has 3 main parts:
- The rotor with a permanent magnet;
- The stator with an electric magnet;
- motor.
An electromechanical type generator is mounted on the same shaft with the power unit. The static electromagnet, is made in the form of a circular magnet wire with a segment or arc cut out. Among other things, the electric magnet also has an inductance coil, to which the electric commutator is connected, thanks to which the reversible current is supplied.
In fact, the principle of operation of different magnetic motors may differ based on the type of models. But in any case, it is the property of the permanent magnets that is the main driving force. Consider the principle of operation, you can use the example of the Lorenz antigravity unit. The essence of its work is in 2 differently charged disks, which are connected to a power source. These disks are placed half in a hemispherical screen. They are actively rotated. In this way, the magnetic field is effortlessly pushed out by the superconductor.
History of the perpetual motion machine
The first mentions of the creation of such a device appeared in India in the 7th century, but the first practical attempts to create it appeared in the 8th century in Europe. Naturally, the creation of such a device would greatly accelerate the development of the science of energy.
At that time, such a power unit could not only lift different loads, but also rotate mills and water pumps. In the XX century there was a significant discovery, which gave impetus to the creation of the power unit - the discovery of the permanent magnet, followed by the study of its possibilities.
The motor model based on it was supposed to work for an unlimited amount of time, which is why it was called eternal. But no matter how it is, nothing is eternal, as any part or part can fail, so the word "eternal" should be understood only as the fact that it should work without interruption, without implying any costs, including fuel.
Now it is impossible to identify with certainty the creator of the first perpetual motion mechanism, based on magnets. Naturally, it is very different from the modern one, but there are some opinions on the fact that the first mention of a power unit based on magnets is in the treatise of Bhskar Acharya, a mathematician from India.
The first information about the appearance of such a device in Europe, appeared in the XIII century. The information came from Villard d'Onnecourt, an eminent engineer and architect. After his death, the inventor left his descendants his notebook, which contained various drawings not only of buildings, but also of mechanisms for lifting weights and actually the first device on magnets, which remotely resembles a perpetual motion machine.
Tesla's magnetic unipolar motor
A great scientist known for his many discoveries, Nikola Tesla, achieved significant success in this area. Among scientists, the scientist's device received a slightly different name - the Tesla unipolar generator.
It is worth noting that the first research in this area is Faraday, but despite the fact that he created a prototype with a similar principle of operation, as Tesla later, stability and efficiency left much to be desired. The word "unipolar", means that in the circuit of the device a cylindrical, disk or ring conductor, is between the poles of a permanent magnet.
The official patent represented the following scheme, in which there is a design with 2 shafts on which 2 pairs of magnets are mounted: one pair creates a conditionally negative field, and the other pair creates a positive field. Between these magnets there are generating conductors (unipolar disks), which have a connection with each other using a metal band, which, in fact, can be used not only for disk rotation, but also as a conductor.
Tesla is known for many useful inventions.
The Minato Engine.
Another excellent variant of such a mechanism, in which the energy of magnets is used as an uninterrupted autonomous operation, is the motor, which has long been in production, despite the fact that it was developed only 30 years ago, the inventor from Japan Kohei Minato.
Experts note the high level of silence and, at the same time, efficiency. According to its creator, a self-rotating magnetic motor such as this has a coefficient of efficiency higher than 300%.
The design involves a rotor in the form of a wheel or disc, on which magnets are placed at an angle. When a stator with a large magnet approaches them, the wheel begins a movement that is based on the alternating repulsion/convergence of the poles. The speed of rotation will increase as the stator approaches the rotor.
To eliminate unwanted pulses during wheel operation, relay stabilizers are used and reduce the use of current to the controlling electromagnet. There are disadvantages to such a scheme, as the need for systematic magnetization and the lack of information on thrust and load characteristics.
Howard Johnson Magnetic Motor
The scheme of this invention by Howard Johnson, involves the use of energy, which is created by the flow of unpaired electrons, which are present in the magnets, to create the power circuit of the power unit. The scheme of the device looks like a combination of a large number of magnets, the peculiarity of the arrangement of which is determined on the basis of the design feature.
The magnets are placed on a separate plate, with a high level of magnetic conductivity. The same poles are arranged in the direction of the rotor. This allows an alternating repulsion/attraction of the poles and, at the same time, displacement of the rotor and stator parts in relation to each other.
With the right distance between the main working parts, the magnetic concentration can be selected in the right way, so that the interaction force can be chosen.
Perendev generator
The Perendev generator is another successful interaction of magnetic forces. It is Mike Brady's invention, which he even managed to patent and create a company called Perendev, before a criminal case was opened against him.
The stator and rotor are in the form of an outer ring and a disk. As can be seen from the diagram provided in the patent, they have individual magnets placed on them in a circular path, clearly observing a certain angle in relation to the central axis. Due to the interaction of the fields of the rotor and stator magnets, their rotation occurs. The calculation of the circuit of magnets comes down to determining the angle of divergence.
Synchronous motor with permanent magnets
A permanent-frequency synchronous motor is the basic type of electric motor where the rotor and stator frequencies are at the same level. The classical electromagnetic power unit has windings on plates, but if you change the armature design and install permanent magnets instead of the coil, then you get a fairly efficient model of synchronous power unit.
The stator circuit has a classic magnetic wire arrangement, which includes the winding and the plates, where the magnetic field of the electric current accumulates. This field interacts with the constant field of the rotor, which creates the torque.
Among other things, it should be taken into account that based on the specific type of scheme, the location of the armature and stator can be changed, so for example the first, can be made in the form of an outer shell. To activate the motor from the mains current, a circuit of magnetic starter and thermal protection relay is used.
How to assemble the motor yourself
Homemade versions of such devices are no less popular. They are quite often found on the Internet, not only as working schemes, but also concretely made and working units.
One of the easiest devices to create at home is created using 3 interconnected shafts, which are fastened together in such a way that the central one is turned on the sides.
In the center of that shaft, which is in the middle, is attached a disk of lucite, 4 inches in diameter, and 0.5 inches thick. Those shafts which are placed on the sides also have disks of 2 inches, on which are placed magnets of 4 pieces each, and on the central one twice as many, 8 pieces.
The axle must necessarily be in relation to the shafts in a parallel plane. The ends near the wheels pass with a glimpse of 1 minute. If you start to move the wheels, then the ends of the magnetic axis will begin to synchronize. To give acceleration, a block of aluminum should be placed in the base of the device. One end of it should slightly touch the magnetic parts. Once the design is improved in this way, the unit will rotate faster, half a turn per 1 second.
The drives have been set so that the shafts rotate similarly to each other. In case you try to influence the system with a finger or some other object, then it will stop.
Guided by such a scheme, it is possible to create a magnetic unit with your own hands.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of actually working magnetic motors
Among the advantages of such units, the following can be noted:
- Full autonomy with maximum fuel economy.
- Powerful device using magnets, can provide the room with energy of 10 kW or more.
- Such an engine works until full operational wear and tear.
So far, such engines are not without disadvantages:
- Magnetic fields can adversely affect human health and well-being.
- A large number of models cannot work effectively in a domestic environment.
- There are small difficulties in connecting even a ready-made unit.
- The cost of such motors is quite high.
Such units are no longer a fiction and will soon be quite able to replace the usual power units. At the moment, they can not compete with the usual engines, but the potential for development is there.
