Hi OC,
Thanks for the apology.
I should mention also that Doug Furr, the Ph.D. Mechanical Engineer who built our 1/4-scale Perendev Magnet motor (with Brady's permission, but which we couldn't get to work)
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6189540769300973039, expects to finish today his replica of your magnet motor design built by Al. He's sticking to the design as illuminated by Jason O, except he's going 1.5-scale, and his stator magnet is proportionally a little larger. He's not using the Delran sleeve around the stator magnet either, so he'll be able to approach the perimeter more closely (in the process of characterizing the effect) after the initial replication is done.
He's put a lot of thought into things like the placement of bearings for greatest strength, to avoid wobble. All his parts: magnets and bearings, will be arriving today.
I stopped by his shop last night, and he showed me the clear plastic he will be cutting the rotor and base from, so one can see through it to see that there are no cheater devices attached anywhere. He got the $2,000 sheet of clear 1/2-inch plastic for just $250.
As I was looking at his drawings, he leaned back and pointed back to a carburetor sitting on the table behind him. He's been working on the gun engine, coming up with a way to retrofit engines with that technology, which results in dramatic improvement in mileage. He said: "Engines are so complicated. I've been thinking that we [also] need something more simple [to solve the energy crisis]."
After this initial open sourcing phase of showing people exactly how to build one of these things, I would encourage those who are able to work on improvements which they can then patent and take to market. Doug will likely be one who will do that. I anticipate that Doug will also help us in the initial phase of characterizing what is going on: testing such things as magnet size, distance, position, etc.
As I was leaving last night, he told me that it would be easy to scale this thing down and get it ready to mass produce for selling as a grown-up toy. He owns and operates his shop, which has all the necessary components for such mass production. He has several injection molding machines. He said it would take about two months to ramp up for such production.
Feel free to post this report at the Steorn forum. I'll post it to the OU forum.
I'll not pass your email to others. There is one person I previously disclosed it to: the guy who was interested in helping us build a clear and complete set of plans. I disclosed it with the caveat of "confidential."

Sterling,
If that is in fact the case, then I apologize. After
my submission (which I did on 2 occasions, sorry I
can't remember the dates), I thought I monitored your
site pretty closely. I missed that entry somehow. And
apparently nobody took notice anyway, or someone would
have pointed it out to me.
Regardless of that, neither Al nor I was really
prepared for what happened last week. When that video
was posted, there were about 300 messages in our
development thread, which was our primary means of
communication. It tripled in size over the weekend. We
were forced to start up several other threads to help
deal with all the traffic.
This has been an engineering effort, primarily between
2 virtual people, with some synergy from the Steorn
forum community. It has worked out well in the end.
There are many replications going now. I'm sure at
least some of them will be successful. There will be
plenty of people to interview. And I'm sure you will
have much to report.
My goals have almost been met. In fact they have most
likely already been met. I simply wanted the idea to
get some serious consideration from some qualified
people. That did not occur in response to the
information you posted on your site, but finally did
happen thanks to a fortuitous discussion in the Steorn
forum.
I'm not looking to gain anything from this other than
a potentially brighter future.
This has all been a dream. Now I want to move on and
try to pick up the pieces of my normal life. If you
have any concern for my well being, you will keep this
email address strictly confidential. There are only a
handful of people that know it, and I ask them to do
the same.
Everything I'm willing to share is out there in the
Steorn forum. In fact, probably more than I really
want to share.
I will be posting a copy of this apology in the Steorn
forum for all to see.
Regards,
OC
