To All:
The file below explains how Henry Ford was able to operate a MODEL "T"
automobile on "COW MAGNETS" and WITHOUT FUEL! If this was possible,
consider how all the frictions involved (piston rings against cylinder
walls, etc.) posed a small challenge to coils of wire (magneto) and
magnets!

FORD MODEL "T" MAGNETIC MODIFICATION
"Report that the 1st run batch of Model T engines could be modified to run
without fuel using self-sustaining magnetic repulsion.
-> Model T Magnetic Engine - 04/06/97
->Information that linked John Keely to Henry Ford, Sr.
The Model T used a hand-cranked magneto starting system to provide the spark
that exploded the gas to move the pistons. This is how a lawnmower produces
the spark needed to keep its engine running. The flywheel had very strong
magnets embedded in it. The bell housing that surrounded the flywheel had
coils of wire which would produce a nasty high voltage spark when the flywheel
rotated the magnetic field past the coils. This spark is what ignited the
gasoline in the cylinders. The magneto type starting system had to be hand
cranked to get the motor running, and the burning gasoline would keep it
running once started.
The first year model T's built by Ford had a special flywheel and housing that
was said to have been designed by John Worrell Keely and sold to Henry Ford.
Ford bought the design as a form of insurance because of all the harassment
he was getting from vested interests not wanting to see him succeed. After
20,000 to 30,000 cars went out, Ford was threatened by oil and gas interests
trying to coerce him to shut down production. It was not made clear who these
forces were or why they were trying to put Ford out of business.
After the first year of manufacturing Model T's, efforts were renewed to shut
Ford down. At this point, Ford then gave THEM an ultimatum, either leave he
and his family alone OR "He would send every Ford Model T owner a set of cow
magnets which fit in special slots that were cut into the bell housings on the
first year run of cars". This bell housing was cast into the engine block and
not a separate unit as on modern vehicles.
The flywheels were the hand cranked units having Vee magnets. They were
magnetos that when cranked, moved the magnets past a coil to produce a very
high voltage/current to spark the plugs. It produced a vicious spark.
Once the cow magnets were placed in the slots, the hand crank was turned and
the flywheel would spin on its own, generating up to 40 HP and completely self
running. You had to get the flywheel spinning to a minimum rpm before the
magnetic drive effect would take place.
Ford told his opponents that all Model T owners would then be running their
cars for FREE, not requiring any gasoline or other fuel. And that the
principle would be copied and applied to all machinery. Once Ford's opposing
forces verified the truth of this, "THEY" instantly ceased all attempts at
intimidating Ford and his company succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
My contact said there were three fellows who got wind of this story several
years ago. They secured a first-run Model T and found it did indeed have
strange slots on the bell housing. Magnets were inserted and when they cranked
it, the flywheel began to spin on its own.
Based on this initial verifying experiment, they eventually produced a 40hp
version which was self-running, using the same magneto system. A demonstration
was scheduled in a larger city and two of the men drove the prototype to the
demonstration, the third man was ill and could not attend.
The demonstration went off without a hitch and was enthusiastically received.
Plans and contacts were made for duplicating the prototype for further tests
that would be followed by marketing.
As the two men were driving home late that evening with their prototype, their
vehicle was run off the road. The next day, their vehicle was found overturned,
both bodies lying in a ditch with their throats slit and the prototype was gone.
The third man who had been too ill to attend the demonstration packed up
everything and went into hiding. Word is, this man is still alive, very
paranoid, yet he has not given up on the principle and has gone even further in
his development of the principle.
Ford intended the Model T to be run on ETHANOL, not gasoline, because it was a
renewable fuel. This could have been the bone of contention with the gas/oil
companies.
The original vehicle produced in 1903 was the Model A, of which about 1,700
were produced.
Henry Ford Sr. was born July 30th, 1863 and died on April 7th, 1947. Keely
died in 1898. So there is a nearly a 40 year period when they could quite
possibly have known each other. Ford did make trips to Manhattan and being of
an inventive mind would have heard of Keely, who was written up in many papers
and magazines from 1872 until his death in 1898. It is not too much of a
stretch to envision Ford attending one or more of Keely's many public demon-
strations (as did Tesla who I have NO DOUBT copied much of Keely's discoveries
using electric current instead of mechanically produced vibrations.
The various claims for PMMs (perpetual motion machines), whether magnetic or
gravity driven, always require a restorative kick to keep it running.
A flywheel or weighted arm mounted on a horizontal shaft so that it rotates in
a vertical plane, will fall by the force of 'gravity' and inertia will push it
past the 180 degree point and up to about 270 plus degrees. At that point,
you have to use a 'kicker' to push it past the 360 degree point so that the
rotation will perpetuate. Just like pushing someone on a swing, if you time
your pushes just right, you can drive them in ever higher arcs and eventually
over the 360 mark.
The Model T engine used a weighted crankshaft, that was why the vehicles would
vibrate from side to side due to the inertial kick of the weight. I am also
told that these engines could also idle at very low rpms, something on the
order of 100 or so revolutions per minute. This story is definitely out there
but should be fairly easy to prove.
Perhaps someone out there has access to a Model A or a Model T and can examine
the bell housings on these vehicles. At this point, I think the weighted
crankshaft would be necessary to the operation of the magnetic engine since it
would provide the restorative force.
