On October 7, 2012, Tom Ferko agreed to open sourcing this design through PES Network, Inc.. He asks that if anyone goes commercial (selling stuff) with this design (or a close variant) that they remit a 5% royalty to him, which he will share with us at PES for helping to coordinate this project. We are splitting the royalty 60:40, Tom:PES, adjustable over time.

This is just an ordinary pulse motor that is magnetically coupled to an external spinning wheel.  What is there to sell?  What is the "project?"

Certainly I can see that this gentleman is fascinated by his experiments but there is really and truly nothing there.  He is just having fun and is just a beginner.  Can you see that?  It's quite shocking to me that you would make a page on PESN for this and talk about "going commercial."

It's just a nice little pulse motor setup.  Beyond that, there is nothing especially redeeming about what this person is demonstrating at all.  There are many pulse motor "veterans" around here and I would assume that they would agree with me.

I'm a veteren (some might say vintage), and I agree with you.

It's neat, and the fellow obviously is a craftsman. But gosh darn it.... the one part that all electrical Free Energy machines seem to have to have is sitting right there on the table: the big black battery.

I agree too, and I'd like to point out also that the basic circuit is nearly identical to the Bedini Schoolgirl/NPmotor, with the substitution of Hall effect triggering instead of the pickup coil triggering of the Bedini motor. The cute little side setup to boost voltage and light up some HV LEDs on the side is kind of neat, but so what.

I am astounded that these people are soliciting "royalties" for this basic pulse motor design. Maybe I should reveal the design of my Marinov repultraction pulse motor, also Hall effect triggered, which has no armature back reaction, and start charging people for the secret of winding its coils to simulate Marinov's Siberian Coilu with multiple current paths instead of just the two.

Good morning to all,

I have a question to ask. I am not an electrical engineer or anything but have a genuine interest in exotic/free energy technology. I have gone through many of the posts on this site as well as PESN. Looking at many of the claims to overunity, seeing the frauds that are out there, in your opinion, what is the greatest challenge or obstacle that is standing in the way of free energy? I see that there are many talented people out there who are working on this, and I give you my full support, but just curious as to what the main technical obstalce is. Keep up the good work guys!
