James ? His patent makes little sense, but basically, when all is said, his ?breakthru? is likely to be in the generator/electronics, (most likely the generator), unless he has an O/U motor (Unlikely)..
I?m not sure he even understands what he has here, or if it really works, as claimed.
Fortunately, I am not the one being asked to review his system and test/validate it; as he claims that it is not working at this time (typical response).
His fee structure is totally meaningless, and confusing. If he really had an O/U breakthrough, he should be seeking $1-2M upfront, and running royalties of $100-200/KW of machines built, (which is what I am negotiating with another inventor who has a 50KW device, on behalf of a wealthy investor).
Ted and I would be pleased to act as witnesses, but would really need to do some proper, documented and ?defendable? testing first.
Unfortunately, we are both getting very busy now ? Ted is just heading off to the Tesla conference, and I have 9 major projects to review for the Connecticut Clean Energy Fund, by Aug 14, and a scientist here from Russia, working on a superconducting magnetic generator. I also just received a new Mag. Motor in today, to perform some testing on.
Please try to give us plenty of lead time to schedule a visit, and define a test plan and schedule.
Regarding the Generator, it should not take that much torque to get it started, if you start without any load on it. We have access to lots of motors to test it with, and could also use a manual Flywheel to hand crank it to get it turning (as needed with the Lutec system in AUS).
Give me a call when you have a minute, to discuss further.
Jim
Thank you Jim for the link. The article helped me to understand a few things about how to re-write a patent and not to refer to anything which indicates a perpetual motion machine. I also learned that I will need four (4) witnesses or more and perhaps you and Ted could be two (2) of them!
Reading through McQueen's website thoroughly, I am in disbelief. I have tested many motors and none of them have worked. If you have turned a generator in the past you would know that it does not turn easily at all. The force it takes to turn the generator is greater than the motor can put out, causing the motor to overheat. I have tested running directly to the shaft of the generator with the motor and through pulleys. The motor will always overheat within five (5) or ten (10) minutes. This is the reason I went to the water pump.
Quite frankly, as you read through McQueen's website, he is looking for a one time up front fee of $85.00 and monthly fees of $45.00 for funding the machine. My personal feeling is that McQueen is trying to soak the public, rather than going with major investors who want to buy or invest in his patent.
How do you feel about the legitimacy of McQueen's machine? Again, thanks for the info. Be talking to you soon.
