I was looking at the so called Gary Effect a little closer, and after some
of the flux diverting experiments I've been doing I am beginning to see what
is really going on here (I think anyway). It looks as if the iron that
comes close to the end of the fixed magnet is re-routing flux away from the
influence of the other magnets. This weird thing Gary says about pole
reversal I believe is a side effect of geometry. If we better understand
what is going on with some weak magnets, I believe Gary's motor design can
be adapted to stronger magnets with no problem. Linear motors with very
little movement using this effect should be able to produce more usable
electricity than a conventional motor or generator at high rpms.
