Magnets don't magically stay magnetized forever. They are exposed to a magnetic field during manufacture, which requires energy. If you are not using electromagnets, you will not get enough useful torque out of the motor, at least not for any length of time at a reasonable weight.Like i said, no free lunch. Magnets aren't magical.

I never said it was a free lunch, of course it has to run out sometime. It has to use "some" power to be converted into something else. I bought some welding rod (what he used to tune the original magnets) and a smathering of iron widgets and alnico magnets to do some experimenting using their theories. I'm not sure how they are powering them. I havent been able to track down one of the guys to talk with him. Most of the replies i got were from the other tinkerers on the Keely website. i wanted to know how it got recharged after the magnets wore down. I assume there using some type of high powered Alnico magnets, Its the angle of displacement that makes the force to turn the wheel, not power of any sort. So of course when the magnets field wears off or gets depolarazed, (how do you recharge it?) i also wanted to know what RPM you could spin it at before the magnets came dislodged from rotor with centrifigul force. The video said they were governing it at 3500 RPM and back down to 0. I just thought it was cool as heck that you could do it with magnets. Give them about 3 or 4 more years and im sure a solid one will be built with speed controlled governor for public sale. Or the big power companies will buy them out to keep thier mouths shut about it and let it fade away with all the other cool inventions and suppressed technology. John Worrell Keely and Nicola Tesla had more than their fair share of gizmos that i like.
