These boys are working on the same problem [May not be a problem much longer]

.............if you can make a real mono-magnet with only one half field being exposed, this will give you pure directionality without the reversing other half of the same pole. By putting just one of these stators on a populated wheel of matching rotors, the combined directionality will give much better chance of a free turning magnet wheel. But it has to be tested for sure to find out.

Its possible that the rotors will not cog on the attracting pole (say, its shielded), but they will refuse to enter the repulsing pole with double resistance. So net result will be the same. A shield will only change the distribution of field in space, it does not weaken it. Unfortunately ....

The holy grail is switching a magnet on/off (not just shielding) ... well sounds impossible.

Exactly. But correctly shielding one side only seems very difficult. Most shielding only disperses the field.

I am positive that the key to create a magnet motor is in shielding for an inert stator. After all, didn't Henry Ford prove it with cow magnets?

Do you seriously think this story is real? Why would Henry Ford have given a shit about oil company profits. Oil companies were small fry in his day.

If he could have built a car that ran on nothing he would have done it! He would have been the ONLY car manufacturer on the planet. Who would buy a car that needs petrol when you can buy one from Henry that runs on nothing.

Really, some people will believe anything!

Edit  Henry was bluffing when he said this. No more, no less.

Yup, I do believe that a homopolar magnet could make a magnet motor possible. Hence I am some people.

HvL saying Henry was bluffing and it being so are not really equal now, are they? If I want to know if a homopolar magnet motor could function I must try to build one and experiment. Likewise if I wanted to see if Henry was bluffing I would need to build the concept and see for myself...

Lucky for me and my wallet I rarely want to know.

For what it is worth, I have now seen with my own eyes that the second Mylow project is an epic failure, and the first project is about to fail because of the outrageous amount of Euros wanted for the channel magnets here in Spain. No freedom in sight then.
