Magnetic Motors & Amplification
Motors and generators using permanent magnet interactions, magnetic amplification, and parallel path flux steering. These devices explore how small electromagnetic inputs can redirect large permanent magnet forces for net energy gain.
Adams Motor/Generator
Robert Adams
A pulsed permanent magnet motor/generator that uses precisely-timed short electrical pulses to energize stator coils as rotor magnets align. Rotation is primarily driven by permanent magnet attraction to the stator's iron cores. Electrical pulses serve to cancel the 'back-drag' that would normally slow the rotor, and the flyback energy from the collapsing field is recovered to recharge the source battery.
Bruce DePalma N-Machine
Bruce DePalma
A homopolar generator with a rotating magnet and disk claimed to produce more power than it takes to rotate.
Paramahamsa Tewari SPG
Paramahamsa Tewari
Space Power Generator based on homopolar concepts, claiming overunity output.
Raoul Hatem Magnetic Flywheel System
Léon Raoul Hatem
A motor drives a heavy rotor disc embedded with 36 neodymium magnets, which is magnetically coupled to one or more generator discs. The theory proposes that the spinning magnets draw environmental magnetic energy through a 'degravitation' effect created by the flywheel's angular momentum interacting with Earth's magnetic field.
Searl Effect Generator (SEG)
John Searl
A magnetic generator with rotating rollers claiming overunity and anti-gravity effects.
Charles Flynn Parallel Path Magnetic Technology
Charles Flynn
Uses permanent magnets with small electromagnetic 'flux steering' coils in parallel magnetic circuits. Tiny electrical pulses redirect large magnetic forces — achieving 'magnetic amplification' where a small input controls a much larger magnetic output. Both motionless (solid-state) and rotary motor variants exist.
Graham Gunderson Solid-State Generator
Graham Gunderson
A ferromagnetic toroidal core with permanent magnets and multiple coil windings. Electrical pulses steer permanent magnet flux within the core to induce EMF in output coils while evading Lenz's Law braking. Granted US patent provides detailed engineering specifications.
Howard Johnson Magnetic Motor
Howard Johnson
An arrangement of permanent magnets designed to create continuous rotary motion.
Muller Motor
Bill Muller
A motor designed to eliminate Lenz's law drag using an odd/even magnet-coil ratio.
Thane Heins Perepiteia/ReGenX
Thane Heins
A generator that demonstrates 'regenerative acceleration under load' — the motor speeds up when the generator is loaded, rather than slowing down as expected. Demonstrated at MIT in 2008 to Professor Markus Zahn, who called the motor acceleration under load 'unusual' but did NOT endorse overunity. Uses bi-toroidal or ReGenX coil configurations.
Lutec Magnetic Motor/Generator
Lutec
A permanent magnet motor with pulsing electromagnets claiming to bypass Lenz law resistance. Lutec sought commercial fundraising, but commercialization failed to deliver working products.
Permanent Magnet Motor Claims (General)
Various Claimants
A general category cataloging permanent magnet motor claims (e.g. self-running wheels, magnet arrays). Explains why permanent magnets represent static magnetic fields and are not energy sources, classifying common designs.
