Power from repelling magnets

[norman6538]

I am currently constructing two Butch Lafonte repel balanced machines that will give over 500% energy out by using one to release the repel force between two magnets. Butch Lafonte originally made a scissors version with 2 attracting magnets on one end and 2 repelling magnets on the other end. When I saw  that  about 12 years ago I knew it had some real potential. So I right away made a rotary version and then a linear version but could not unbalance them to achieve any useful energy. Then I thought to combine them so one will release the permanent magnetic power in the other.  I am currently working on the close tolerance to make them work well. But meanwhile you can see the 3 versions that I made in the attached photo.
The weather is too hot in my garage to work very long so it will take a week or more to work
10-15 mins at a time. Butch seems to have disappeared but you can see some the the
Lafonte group videos/annimations here.

If anyone knows were Butch is let me know, I sure would like to contact him.
He will love my enhancements. They are way past the sticky spot.
I have always said  that if you can take a small force to release a larger force then it will be OU.

same problem here in NE USA with the heat 15 20 minutes in the shop then sit inside infront of the fan...taking forever to get stuff done feels way hotter than 100 degrees out there !

I had some contacts for Butch years back
will try to find the...also didn't forum member Dusty work with Butch? think I had a contact there too?

thanks for sharing !!I hope Butch is still around...may take a day or so to find what I have ,computer was fried a while back

keep cool

Thanks Ramset. My email for Butch no longer works but I called his cell ph
and left a message. He lives in Alabama.

He could came up with more ideas but never much on measurement.
I have been fooled by the feel of my hand many times. I like weights
instead of measurement devices. In one case 1 weight dropped 1/4 inch
and the same weight was lifted maybe 1/2 inch or more. It was all in plain view,
nothing to dispute.
Butch's absence could mean he found something and went quiet.

Thanks Norman

I'm glad to see that some one is continuing with / adding to the La Fonte concepts.

My work with the Lafonte cascaded has failed after 3 embodiments due to imprecision.
But I was able to demonstrate with a manual fixed setup that the stacking of magnets
from a cascaded device does turn the repel on and off at the other end of that rotor.

So the concept is valid but not  adequately embodied. I ordered some better bearings
to reduce the tolerance. So far I have had to make my own bearings out of long rods
for stability but that takes time.

Stay tuned. Norman
