The " Gary effect " and the Wesley Gary motor.

Graham,
I became interested not because of the perpetual aspect but because he claimed a novel way to generate electricity. For the folks who haven't seen this... http://www.rexresearch.com/gary/gary1.htm

Hi Garry.

Ah yes....

Whilst tinkering with the MK 2 a couple of years back my son and I suddenly had the thing vibrating uncontrollably, my mind was so set upon the task of a nicely swinging motion that this annoying buzzing got stopped very quickly. It was only later that I realised we had managed to create the Gary effect but at high speed. Needless to say we never found that " sweet spot " again.

A demonstration of a working Gary motor would change everything. Perpetual motion, well the thing would wear itself out eventually. Work done by a permanent magnet would be another area that's been argued about for a long time.

As I wrote in my opening post.... It could " change the world " !

Cheers Graham.

Hi Graham,

I also played with this idea. I remember using modelling clay bit by bit adding it to create a balance to the lever but didn't have much success. I also built a linear motorized platform out of Lego with a worm gear to, somewhat accurately, adjust the metal keeper back and forth. I found an old image, that looks quite funny now, of a untested linear version idea at the time. I think the idea was to create a reverse field through the plate to cause the magnet on the slider to drop back down again.

The other untested idea was to create a solid state version where two coils were mounted at the end of the horseshoe. The bar would have a output coil wrapped around the middle. This bar would be pushed out to the edge of the neutral zone so no flux would be going through it. Now pulsing the coils at the end of the horseshoe would push the field out just enough to cross the neutral plane and cause the flux to go through the bar and generate an output pulse. In theory.

I haven't had the time to return to this, working on coding a VR project atm.

Looking through the old folder I also found some references to two patents.

This second one has some interesting references/data this would be great if they can be verified.

Background basic theory of the invention lies in a "China Engineering Science," 2007, Vol. 9, No. 4, 88 published Fanliang algae essays, "Science News", the paper describes Feng Jinsong the relationship between the permanent magnet magnetic field and temperature changes , different permanent magnetic materials while mutual attraction or mutually exclusive processes, are accompanied by a temperature change, there is little 2-3 deg.] C, much more has 7-8; two, Nature Volume492 Issue7429 Published online19 December 2012 the Josephson heat interferometer introduction of Pisa, Italy NEST scientists Institute of nano Science Francesco Giazotto and Maria Jose Martinez-Perez in the study found that the magnetic field can control the direction of heat transfer between individuals, so that heat may transfer from the hotter to colder individual individual. This was found to some extent subvert the heat transfer, the heat may be transferred from the hotter to the colder individual subject. This is a clear violation of the second law of thermodynamics - heat is always transferred from the warmer to the colder individual individual; Third, the background is Chinese patent in 2013 Vol 29 18 announced the "magnetic power systems", by moving two permanent magnets, two fixed permanent magnets and the auxiliary permanent magnet, a plate composed of a soft magnetic material, the elastic force of the magnetic field acting in the form of potential energy may be embodied in a single mobile plate made of soft magnetic material by the magnetic force of the negative work into E pl, can not release Epl obtaining a given permanent magnet and the movable permanent magnet mutually exclusive E p2, another movable permanent magnet of the permanent magnet closer to the predetermined direction, close two-stage process, first magnetic repulsive force overcomes the resistance do negative work into E p3, and further because magnetic field redistribution, spontaneous E p4 get attracted to each other. Can achieve | E p2 + E p4 |> | E pl + E p3 |.

Hi Graham,

You said you had a version that was buzzing or oscillating, do you know what the stroke length was for that? I looked around and found a patent for a magnetic actuator which requires a very small movement, .006-.007 to .003 inch actuation distance according to patent. This could be lever mounted to run a impulse, reluctance or piezo generator.

Hi DreamThinkBuild.

I was rather busy over the weekend, not much time to spare.

I've always liked your contributions to these pages of the forum, you've presented some interesting conceptions over the years. I'm happy you're here.

The unit that started vibrating was the one that came before my two latest videos on this subject. IOW the same base and supports but I had used 3/8" diameter mild Steel rod formed into horseshoes and glued small cylindrical magnets on the ends. From memory we had everything kinda close to each other and it just started vibrating. It was a one off event and as I wrote earlier it would have been considered a
" score "!!

I've been in contact with an eye witness who saw a working replication in the late 1990's. This device was quite large being nearly 2 feet long. The armature or " shield " as the witness prefers to call it appeared to be laminated but just two plates of Iron with a plastic separator. Mass saving? Possibly....

I'm still surprised that there's so few members interested, after all it's rather a simple contraption and fairly easy to make. For me the magnets were the hardest bit. I used " gauge plate " or
" flat ground stock " as it's a high Carbon Steel and after heating and quenching can be readily magnetised.

At this moment I've got a single strip of transformer Steel for the armature mounted vertically between the magnet pairs.... It's the best " Gary effect " action I've seen to date.... Short video to follow, soon I hope.

If you're going to build, think big the more " ponderous " the better because the action/reaction phasing isn't really phased at all, very difficult to explain until you see it for yourself.

Cheers Graham.
