Bowman Permanent Magnet Motor Replication 2008

Does anyone know what happened to Douglas Mann who claimed to have a Bowman Motor working and detailed his construction in detail at this link

Yes, I do.
He still does experiments with free energy.

Is there info anywhere else on the second design?

Some info is here: http://fdp.nu/shared/manager.asp?d=files\Bowman64

The problems were not the bearings but the aligning of the shafts. Aligning the gears at the back, the long rods AND the magnetic gears in front gives problems if the fitting is not 100%.
The first thing you can do to find out if you are on the right track is checking if you can give one of the gears a spin and see if all rods keep spinning some rotations. If so, you can start testing with the actuator. Otherwise you have to align. Since you use CNC, you probably have a good alignment from the beginning.

Hi Eric

I want to use Brass nuts and washers but they are not here yet. But I wanted to check the alignment of the Gears and used some Steel nuts for now.

Here is a small video showing the Gears and their looseness as such.

I also popped on the magnets I had just to get a feel for the magnet interactions, I was surprised.

Did he never re-build another Bowman and show a video? I find this very surprising.

Shame really

Today Overunity.com has been really slow, but seems okay at the moment 

Many thanks for the link will go take a look!
