Goal
Provide a self-sustaining mechanical output (free energy) without an external power source.
Problem
Lack of inexpensive, continuous energy source; desire for perpetual-motion-type power generation.
Concept Summary
A magnetic repellent motor consisting of a rotor with permanent magnets and a surrounding stator with opposing permanent magnets. The magnetic fields are partially screened to concentrate flux in the gap, allegedly causing continuous rotation without external energy.
Detailed Description
The patent describes a shaft rotating about its longitudinal axis, a first set of magnets mounted on the rotor and a second set mounted on the stator. The two sets interact magnetically, with partial magnetic shielding (e.g., PTFE or air gaps) to focus the magnetic field across the rotor-stator gap. The inventor marketed the device as a "Permanent Magnet Machine" claiming it could operate as a perpetual-motion motor, but the European Patent Office rejected the claim and the inventor was later convicted of fraud.
