Hi,

Since I did not find anything regarding the Jakelj magnetic motor here on overunity.com, posting info that I have.

I'm afraid the Jakelj motor project has been set aside for the time being. When I first began publicizing it on the web in the hope of attracting investors I got a lot of attention, which has since died down. I sold about 100 copies of Jakelj's Theory and patent.  A few people even said they were going to invest, a few others actually went to Slovenia and observed the prototype in operation. One guy even built a working model but I haven't heard from him since then.  All the potential investors backed out again and cut off contact with me after showing a great deal of interest.  That said, I firmly believe that the time for the Jakelj motor is NOW more than ever. Imagine an electric motor that could power a car, truck, train, tank, or aircraft carrier for one tenth of the cost of conventional IC engines or electric motors.  No transmission. No cooling system, etc. No pollution (of course an onboard generator would cause some air polllution but nothing comparable to a big diesel.  The main problem is, of course, that Jakelj's patents have all expired.  Therefore, when getting started secrecy and legal protection would be mandatory.  All improvements and developments made during the intial phase would have to be patented and it would be necessary to start in a third world country (my preference would be the Philippines) to avoid the fate of people like Tucker and the more recent developers of electric cars.  The big oil companies and auto manufacturers play dirty and in most cases are above the law because they own the lawmakers.  I could come up with more ideas to assure success, but the first thing would be to build working models in different sizes so as to get some idea of the performance of the motor in different functions.  That's where things stand now.  If you want a copy of Jakelj's treatise and patent, I'll be happy to email it to you.

The prototype is in Kranjska Gora, Slovenia, at the Jakelj family home which now belongs to his widow if she is still alive, or his two children, his son Tomaz, who lives in Ljubljana, Slovenia, or his daughter, whose name I don't recall. A prototype for the last version (1992 DC motor with annular coil) was supposedly built at a factory in Ljubljana called "Litostroj" ..I don't know whether it still exists or not.

That's normally a bad thing! but hey, best of luck with the funding search.
