Re: Interesting electric motor...

Hi Frank,

Seems like a great motor. However I am confused about something. Don't
most motors basically work off Lorentz forces? The patent basically says
this. The innovation here is in the packing arrangement of the stator
coils.
I tend to think if there is any OU possibliities in these motors it is in
the use of very high magnetic fields as is described in the Takahashi
patents, or in repulsion (non-lorentz) forces as seen in Kawai or Gray motor
designs.

Here's a question. I have two identical solenoid coils connected to
identical caps charged to identical voltages. When the caps discharge the
initial field of the coil is oriented N up.
On top of the coils are two disc magnets of the same weight. One is 100
Gauss, and the other is 1000 Gauss.
When the caps are discharged, will the two magnets shoot into the air the
same distance? Will the caps be equally discharged?
