Konrad Baecker Magnet motor converted from a DKW car motor

[Low-Q]

Hi All,
I visited about 20 years ago in around 1987/88 an inventor
living near Munich,Germany.

He was working on a great magnet motor.
At this time he was only having weak ferrite magnets,
but with todays Neodymn magnets this motor could
really work overunity, if it will be designed also with better coils.

I just uploaded the video I took at this time now to my google video account:

It is in German language, but just have a look at it.

This way, normal car motors can be converted to run on magnet power.

He is using Iron cores with an electromagnet inside the iron tube.
The piston magnet is sucked into the iron tube and when the electromagnet is
energized, the piston magnet is pushed out of the iron tube.

At the time when I was visiting, he was still driving the electromagnets
via contact points from a car battery.
It was using at this time around 12 Volts and 20 amps pulses to switch
the electromagnets.
But with a better electromagnet design ala Newman coil and
new very strong Neodymn magnets this could be powered much longer
and the sparks from the Newman coils could reacharge the batteries.

Then it could go overunity.

Regards, Stefan.

A battery is allways welcome to make things work !!! Why is it so that the only videos regarding running motors have a battery or similar power supply attached to it?

Hello All. not sure if this is the right spot to post this or not, feel free to move it if there is a better place.
The idea of converting auto engines to magnetic power has always intrigued me. I believe I have found an engine design that would work better than others, maybe even to the point of running on permanent magnets only.
the engine is the world war 1 gnome rotary.  this engine has the cranckcase bolted solid to the front of the plane, and the radially mounted cylinders rotate around the fixed pistons. see here for animation:http://www.keveney.com/gnome.html

My thoughts are to have opposing magnets on the tops of the pistons and on the heads, then have the crank timed to have each piston repelling after top dead center.
let me know what you think

The drawback with any magnet motor on this planet, or in the universe for that matter, is that the magnets cannot be turned on and off on demand. You MUST spend energy to do this. Don't forget that you must use energy to position the magnets in repel mode - just as much energy you get out when the magnets repels over the same distance.
Ther is no option to guide the magnetism away with iron parts. This require also the same amount of energy as you get out at the end. But still I'm not surprised if anyone still is trying to make a magnet motor.

If it was easy then it probably would be boring. It's a fascinating challenge. Just like the "Egg of Columbus" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Egg_of_Columbus )

Where the air bubble is you can crack the egg a bit without messing all over the place. Then it stands by itself... or attach magnets to it

IMHO this attempt is nonsense, there is no point for using a piston engine concept for a magnet-motor.
As we all know the efficiency of piston-engines is horrible.If you can interrupt a magnetic field on a piston
type engine you can do that also on a radial type. But that actually is the point where all the attempts stumble.
There is no material blocking a magnetic field while being not magnetic itself.
Having such a material would probably make 80% of the attemps working, no matter how they are constructed.

The sad thing is, that inefficient attempts and
i.e. words like "360000 gauss" and putting the engine with a v-belt on a generator (OMG!) as in the perendev patent
make conventional scientists laugh at the scene while the work on overunity devices get more noncredible with every attempt.

The good thing about Baecker is, that he doesn?t claim to know what he is doing. A lot of people in the scene
do but don?t know a crumble of cake about what they are doing.

Baecker might have made some progress but I hope he didn?t continue with that piston-nonsense. ;-)
