Captret - Capacitor and Electret

[Paul-R]

Paul if you had followed the conversation over to the Bedini SG notes thread

a Monopole Motor, funny maybe he couldn't get it patented as an energizer seeing as how it is a motor and fits the description of a motor to the letter. US 6545444. Look it up and read it.

Well, I haven't. It is not wise to assume info in another thread. It reminds me of an old French proverb which says something along these lines: With an "if" like that, you could put the Eiffel Tower into a jam jar".

I concede that the SG has an element of "motorness". When the coil gives the magnets an electromagnetic shove, to keep the wheel rotating, it is acting as a motor. But you cannot say that the device is a motor, whatever JB says. He lacks the power to change the meaning of words.

If a strong wind catches your umbrella and pushes you forward, does that make the umbrella a sail? Does that make all umbrellas sails?

The reason why I harp on about this is because the JB people are driven crazy by people calling the SG a motor. It shows that they fail to understand the basic principle.

An interesting feature of the patent, which JB erroneously (in my view) calls a motor, is that it has only 7 years to run. If he doesn't pull his finger out, that patent will soon be dead in the water.

TK's offer to post the Milehigh SS version version is great. I look forward to seeing it. Hopefully we will be getting a circuit diagram.
