Here' the patent: http://patft.uspto.gov/netacgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect2=HITOFF&d=PALL&p=1&u=%2Fnetahtml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.htm&r=1&f=G&l=50&s1=6,867,514.PN.&OS=PN/6,867,514&RS=PN/6,867,514

Since a patent has been granted one may suppose that a working model has been demonstrated to the Patent Office. What do you think?

Interesting design there, Omnibus. Be nice to get some feed-back from some of the considerable-hands-on-experimentation-magnet-people here (I think that's the proper scientific title. Or is it Magnatist?).

Many patent applications have never been built or tested and will never become realised in real life.
Myself I don't get the idea of spending money and time on patenting just the idea.
Perhaps this motor have been built, perhaps not?
You patent an idea, not a working unit and this gets companies and people into hunting for good
ideas and lot's of stuff get's patented but never really built.

What magnetists? The Patent Office has awarded it a patent, who are we to argue? Patent Office doesn't just award patents for ideas but issues patents for working devices.

Perhaps if what Omnibus stated is actually the case, the Patent Office should start making available the video that they took of the model that was submitted and tested during the Patent process.  The Patent Office could make the video available on the internet to the public, ensuring that a device is not only an idea, but an actual working model with test data from the model that was submitted for Patent...
