Website and experiments by: Ian Coke-Richards
"Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be
driven by a power obtainable at any point in the universe. Through space there
is energy. Is this energy static or kinetic? If static our hopes are in vain;
if kinetic - and this we know it is for certain - then it is a mere question of
time when men will succeed in attaching their machinery to the very wheelwork
of nature."
Nikola Tesla
PMAG:
Pulsed Permanent Magnet Motor And Generator
also known as: PMG
"One day man will connect his apparatus to the very
wheel work of the universe .. and the very forces that motivate the planets in
their orbits and cause them to rotate will rotate his own machinery."
Nikola Tesla
My Motor Experiments
The replications below were modified and experimented with to gain understanding of these devices. Many say energy can be tapped from the vacuum of free space. Many thanks to: Tesla, Gray, Bedini, Adams, Konehead, Hector P, Al F., C. Arnold, Don A., Muller, and a list of others who have contributed to the understanding of the these devices.
As it turns out, I have come to comprehend and understand what others have been saying for decades: See the work of Tom Beardon, but more specifically his page devoted to Gabriel Kron for what is termed "Open and Closed Paths" in a circuit. With this undersanding, together with the use of powerful Neodymium magnets, it is farily easy to make a motor\generator that has a COP greater than one.
Motor Projects
Note: I am not a professional engineer by trade. My background is limited to college level mechanical engineering technician, so I do make errors and try to correct as best I can. Many of these motors were made with the intent of being able to move things around and adjust things as I go along. If you see mistakes in this presentation, feel free to contact me for corrections.
Happy Motoring!

Good reference from a Navy training manual I found on-line and then a summary page I made from it:
More great references from the DoD about energy storage, power, flywheels, and pulse forming networks.
Highlights
• Energy system technologies provide for power generation
and energy conversion, energy storage, and power conditioning.
• The Joint Chiefs have recognized high-energy density power converters as
a technology priority.
• The military’s goal is to increase system power densities by two to
five times, depending upon the specific system.
• Power converters typically take up approximately 50 percent of system
volume.
• Stringent military requirements demand reliable, intelligent/survivable,
and affordable energy systems that can perform in battlefield threat
environments.
• Budget pressures and the military’s need for reduced volume and
weight, increased performance, and graceful degradation make it difficult for
military and commercial compatibility.
• Advances in power electronics, packaging, and thermal management will
drive the performance advances in the state-of-the-art.

My first attempt at a pulse motor :-)
 |
This design is my first design built to better understand
the phenomenon of a direct current pulse motor.
|
Sept. 2002
- An Adams style pulse motor in its simplest possible form
 |
This one was built in the simplest way possible as far as electronics are concerned. A coil, battery, and a reed switch is all that is needed for the circuit in this motor. This motor did over 2000 rpm on 24 Volts with just one stator. |
Oct. 2002
- A simple Two Stator Adams style pulse motor with a recapture circuit for energy recovery.
 |
This design was built for energy recovery of the back inductive currents by storing them into a large micro farad cap while being released into a load. |
Oct. 2002
- A modification to Mk 3.0 where an extra pair of coils are firing 45 degrees apart from the first pair. The energy from both is sent to a recapture circuit for energy recovery.
|
- A multidirectional to Mk 3.0 where an extra pair of coils are firing 45 degrees apart from the first pair. The energy from both coil pairs are sent to a recapture circuit for energy recovery. This design was also built for energy recovery of the back inductive currents by storing them into a large micro farad cap while being released into a load. I further tried winding some very high resistance coils and put two of them near the rotor. I attached this to a bridge and then to the 'recovery' cap. |
Nov. 2002
Special dual reed switch' circuit design that allows the recovery energy to be re-directed to rotor torque in the next pulse via a capacitor. In this case the capacitors act as both the supply and the recovery.
 |
Circuit designed to alternate pulses between two pairs of stators 45 degrees between rotor pole magnets. It has a unique feature of sending the recovery energy to a cap that already has a 12V charge in it from Battery A that is then used in the next pulse coming from battery B. The cycle is then repeated for the second set of coils and cap. The direction and time of the energy flow is determined by the location of the two reed switches and the placement of diodes at strategic locations in the circuit. Works very well!. ;-) |
Feb. 2003
Mk 4.0 with four extra coils built on a stronger frame capable for 5000 rpm.
5.0 abandoned due to switching problems. See 5.1 below
New Update on this circuit Oct. 20, 2005.Click Here
 Motor Completed March 1st. |
Circuit designed like above but with 8 stators. 2 banks of four 3.4 ohm coils. The experimental running voltage will be 12 - 36 Volts. |
June 2003
Mk 5.0 with with a slightly different switching circuit.
June 2003 - New Push 'n' Pull Circuit for adjusting speed discovered.
 New motor circut perfected June 14th. |
This circuit has a variable speed control that allows the motor to run from 1,200 rpm to 2,400 rpm from two 12 Volt batteries at 2 -300 ma draw from each. Mechanical load does not effect current draw. Motor draws from 5 to 7 watts. |
 Secondary coils added that run from the Tank cap(s) on right. |
August 2003 Secondary coils and switch added to tank capacitor recapature circuit. Added new circuit does not effect current draw. Runs at 1,500 rpm with constant torque from 12 Volts. Motor draws from 5 to 7 watts.
|
Feb. 2004
New Update!
New Motor Configuration
This is the latest with 16 coils, 4 capacitor banks, and 4 switches
The circuit on this model recycles the inductive back spikes into a foward motion on the rotor through the secondary coils.
 This version has a new rotor with very powerful Neodymium Magnets. |
New rotor with neodymium magnets seen here compared to old ceramic magnet rotor. |
Nov. 2007
Small test motor for Butterfly Circuit.
 |
Circuit designed like with 16 air core coils on two banks. The experimental running voltage will was up to 16 Volts.
|
May. 2008
Dual Rotor with Eight Neo Magnets.
 |
Dual rotor circuit designed with 16 cores. They are paired in two's to create eight stators. Each side of the stators has an aluminum rotor with four neodymium magnets in it.
|
"I think it is possible to utilize magnetism as an
energy-source. But we science idiots cannot do that; this has to come from the
outside."
