Look this is absurd that we are fighting over such nonsense
Magnet motors can?t possibly work.
EDIT: Feynman does not agree! (I had spoken too harshly)
"Suppose a flux path material is used as the stator pole of a permanent
magnet motor. A large permanent magnet is used to magnetize that short
length of flux path, as shown one the left in Figure 6-31, which illustrates a
concept for a magnetic motor. For convenience, imagine that the small
magnet on the right is not yet placed on the material flux path extension.
The flux path extension is energized by the south north pole of the large
permanent magnet on the left, and used as the stator in a rotary magnetic
motor.

As can be seen, the north pole of the rotor, shown in the figure, is attracted
to the resulting south pole of the stator. Power can be taken from the shaft
of the rotor while it is being attracted in to the extended north pole of the
stator flux extension. As it begins to pass the extension end, obviously if
nothing else is done it will develop back mmf "drag" by being attracted
back toward the north pole of the flux extension as it passes it.
However, suppose that ?just when the rotor south pole is passing dead
center of the stator north pole extension, one suddenly pulses a small flat
coil placed on the face of the extension, which serves the function of the
small permanent magnet shown on the right of the material flux path
extension. Further, suppose the magnetic field produced by the coil is
oriented as the field of the small permanent magnet, but is much weaker
than the magnetic field of the large permanent magnet on the left. A very
curious effect then occurs. This energized coil magnetizes the edge of the
flux path extension, to a small "skin depth" as shown, with a north
polarity. The magnetic flux is now bidirectional in that same material flux
path extension.
Further, this edge-switching action is performed so that it is this "partial
north polarity" of the now-altered extension that faces the rotor north pole
as it begins to pass the extension and enters what previously would have
been a back mmf section. Instead, now that former back mmf section is a
weakened forward mmf region, further accelerating the rotor. This action
breaks the Lorentz symmetry around the rotation path of the rotor,
resulting in a net nonzero (nonconservative) magnetic field. Hence the
entire rotor exhibits a net drive force around its loop. The rotor will

accelerate until the mechanical work performed upon the shaft, friction,
etc. is equal to the net magnetic energy furnished to the rotor.
The beautiful part of this motor is that one does not have to "overcome" by
brute force ? and then reverse ? the north polarity of the entire stator
extension. In theory, the overall energy added to the rotor is greater than
the energy that must be added for the "edge switching" of the magnetic
flux path extension, because the entire back mmf of the motor has been
eliminated and replaced by a weaker forward mmf. If the process of
furnishing the "skin depth" weaker magnetic north field to the edge of the
flux path extension is made sufficiently efficient, this engine also can be
made self-powering, at least in theory.
The former "motor" design has been converted to a "motor/generator"
design, by the addition of the edge-switching action. The novel factor is
the use of bidirectional flows of magnetic flux in a single material flux
path.
An additional improvement is to rig a Wiegand sensor and pulse generator
or sensors in conjunction with the rotor action, to freely furnish and kill
the edge-switching pulse to the face-magnetizing coil on the flux path
extension, at the appropriate times. This is an area where even high school
students will be able to experiment.

and improvements has been issued {453}.

As for omnibus, I have no idea about him, but I will tell you he posted a good post in the TPU thread about relativity. Anything else I don't know. But can we please not do personal attacks! Seriously this is ridiculous
