Jack's brother Bill was kind enough to post a message here http://www.overunity.com/index.php?topic=2386.msg184953#msg184953 informing us that Jack passed away recently.
If you're unfamiliar with Jack's magnet motors, they're worth checking out. Sound in principal, masterfully built, and just one durable timing controller away from...something worth dying for.
All the best to ya Jack.
Les.
Ohh,
too bad to hear this.
R.I.P. Jack,
we will miss you.
You did not see the fruitful outcome of your
work, due to the bad decision to patent your work...
So again another very bright inventor ceased away without seeing his
work being used due to the bad idea to wanting to patent....
So you can see, thousands of dollars wasted for patent lawyers without any
outcome...
If he would have published it all openly, we could
have a verified motor by now...
Too bad... R.I.P.
R.I.P. Jack :(
To Bill Hildenbrand:
My sincere condolances to you and your family for the loss of Jack.
I have sent you a personal message.
