Dear Jerry:
Perhaps you would be willing to post the following on my behalf, as it
directly relates to the device you mentioned in your "spinning wheel"
thread:
The device shown in Brian's BigIdeas website (displayed in the link
http://bigideas.virtualave.net/pem.html
is virtually identical to a motor/generator exhibited by Mark Richards
at the Sept. 1998 Tesla Symposium. Only major difference is that the
large wheel contacted the small one directly, it was not a belt drive.
The small wheel a 4" round chunk of steel, pretty heavy, so it would act
as a flywheel of sorts.
Richards' large wheel was a 27" bicycle wheel with a narrow-profile
racing tire, attached to a DC permanent magnet motor. The heavy small
driven wheel was attached to a 90A Chrysler alternator.
During a short test run at Richards' workshop, the device APPEARED to
run continuously. Observations of the attached volt and ammeters
indicated no power drain during the run, and no evidence of external
input was visible.
A run of several hours would have better backed up Richards' claim of
overunity. Unfortunately, the workshop was held just prior to the end of
the Symposium.
The president of ITS promised that follow-up information about Richards'
invention would appear in the next issue of the Tesla Society's
magazine.
Unfortunately, as most of you probably know, the Society went bankrupt
soon thereafter.
I have had no success in locating Mark Richards, I only heard he lives
in Michigan.
If anyone knows how Mark Richards can be contacted, or has succeeded in
building an O/U device based on the BigIdeas/Mark Richards design, I'd
certainly like to hear about it.
Thank you,
