Energy from permanent magnets alone

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the claims made by inventors such as Howard Johnson, Tom Beardson, and Paul Monus regarding motors that operate solely on the energy stored in permanent magnets. Participants express skepticism about the viability of these inventions, suggesting that if such technology were effective, it would already be widely adopted in the energy sector. The consensus leans towards viewing these claims as unsubstantiated, labeling them as the work of "crackpots" rather than legitimate innovations.

PREREQUISITES

Hi all,

i saw many times while browsing that persons like howard johnson, tom beardson, paul monus, etc., are informing themselves that they have invented motors that run only based on the stored energy of the permanent magnets... are they really having that machines..? if yes, i think that it will definatly revoltunize the energy sector of the world..? why don't they make "BIG" business out of it.?
ARE THEY REALLY HAVING THAT..?

Crackpots are crackpots and I think your instincts are telling you that if their ideas worked, we'd already all be using their devices.
