This design built by David McNutt and witnessed by two friends nearly a decade ago and now being made public has to be the simplest iteration one could conceive: Styrofoam, pencil, and a few magnets. An invitation is extended to replicators to give it a whirl. It's the ideal open source design if it works.
 A basic schematic of the design. The inverted "T" at the top just indicates tangent. The stator magnet comes in from the right until the left end of the magnet reaches the tangent. McNutt says the closer that magnet is to the rotor, the more torque it generates. The idea is that the north end of the rotor magnets coming in counter clockwise are attracted to the south end of the stator magnet, and then are repelled out by the north end once they pass it. |
This has to be the simplest free energy design I've ever encountered. I can't fathom anything being any simpler than this.
According to David McNutt, who contacted me yesterday to tell met about this, "it works". And he's willing to open source the design. If it turns out to verify as a functional design, we (PES Network, Inc. and McNutt) have an agreement for sharing any revenues that might come from this (traffic, plans, kits, completed units, etc).
He built it a decade ago using ½-inch Styrofoam, a pencil for the shaft, and some 1/4x1/4-inch rod magnets (neodymium-iron-boron) he had kicking around from a game called mag-neticks. He used a hand drill to make equally-spaced holes around the perimeter of the approximately 4.5 to 5-inch diameter Styrofoam piece. He said it is important to not have the rotor magnet any further apart than the diameter of the magnet; and on the other extreme, the rotor magnets must not be so close they touch.
The stator is comprised of a rod magnet of dimensions ¼" by 1-inch. He brings it into position by hand, coming in vertically along the tangent line, as the arrow on the right indicates.
"Then keeping the drive rod … at [N] side toward the disk and at a 90 degree angle and in line so it is at the outside edge (but not touching). The closer you place the drive magnet the faster, and stronger the torque."
At the time he built this 8-10 years ago, he was living with a friend, Jerry Elswick, and wanted to prove that a generator could be made using just the power of magnets.
McNutt said he never got more than 3-4 revolutions before things fell apart, as the set-up was very crude. If the stator magnet got too close to the rotor, it pulled the magnet out.
I called Jerry, who said he's been friends with David for a couple of decades; and yes he remembered the motor. He thought it had run maybe 200 revolutions for maybe 2-3 minutes. Jerry said David had been working on the idea for years and had it all worked out on paper, and claimed he could build a simple proof of concept design; so Jerry gave him free run of his garage. David got some magnets from Wal-Mart "from some toy", and in maybe 2-3 days he had built the device.
Jerry called back saying that his wife, Betty, also remembers seeing it run. I talked to her on the phone as well. "I remember it was a pretty big thing back then," she said. She thinks it was more like 5-6 years ago. "They were working on it over a few weekends."
David said that after the Styrofoam version that he then fabricated a similar unit using square magnets, a bar magnet, wood and hot glue. He said this one started spinning so fast in the first fraction of a second that one of the magnets flew out from centripetal force and scared the dog.
That's all he's ever done with it, being a bit paranoid.
Now he would like to see it resurrected and scaled to replace the primary driver in power plants. The reason he called me was to see if I knew anyone who could replicate this.
"I have changed to an arc magnet instead of the rod for the better field distribution in my next design. (But with no help funding for the machining it's been in limbo for a long time.)"
He agrees with me that a magnet motor does not violate core laws of physics but merely harnesses some yet-to-be-understood principle of nature. He has a theory about that.
It's simple enough to validate easily.
Wouldn't that be a hoot if this really worked! So close, and yet so far away – for all these decades. "Why didn't someone think of it sooner?" will be the most frequently asked question, followed by, "Why didn't McNutt do something with it before now?" Better late than never.
I talked him into letting us use his name in the motor name because it is so apropos for this "crackpot" stigma field.
Is it real? Let me know what you find, you replicators out there.
If it's a working design, I'd love to be able to announce it to the Earth Transformation conference I'm speaking at on Friday evening. We may be able to webcast that live. The more replications we can refer to, the better. This one could be just the ticket for breaking the logjam on free energy technologies.

yall gona make me loose my mind up in here up in here! ya i been workin on lotsa different designs. Now I gotta go try this one!!! I bet it works....will post video!
This is Steorns OLD kit, Sterling your a fool for getting suckered AGAIN - McIdiot Sterling
Brang sum beer fellow redneck replicator. Jus da cheep stuf sow we can hav moar fuel for the tinkerin. Yeehaw!
Mc_Sterling - when are you going to stop being a sucker for these fools that take you for a ride ? redneck replicator is another a Steorn debunker waiting for Steorn to release more information - He Has No Runner LOL - WAKE UP MaC_Sterling
Sterling, keep doing what you are doing and ignore the naysayers. At least you have the guts to explore and publicize OU. Most others are too scared to step out of their current paradigm. The paradigm that makes people slaves to TPTB.
Say Redneck, you know damm well that is a Clanzer Rig he is the only one that knows to build a rig like this - PERIOD - talkin trash Redneck )
So if you place another stator magnet at 180? to the first , on the bottom left side, it should reinforce the acceleration of the device, when set as the first stator is, for maximum rotation.
Moving the stators in or out, in sync., or out, with each other, by a control, may be a way adjusting output rpm's under load.
If it works, perhaps a science toy company, would back it, leading to scaled up models.
as usual i dont have the same magnets as the guy doin it so i dont get the same result. I did however get my stator to pull the rotor magnets out of the styrofoam!
on tthe Peswiki page are advanced drawings and demos. This project is still in the works.
Redneck replicator..... if the magnets are pulled out that either means that the poles in the rotor as related to the stator are problematic....opposite attracts, like repels...thus the stator should be N (+) as well as the rotor magnets..if the stator connects to the S (-) that would pull out the rotor magnet....or else in Mr. McNutts later models, the rotation was excessive and the magnets were not secured enough that they flew out from centriggal force.
Hi Sterling.......
Any news on this new build yet???
Maybe an update on it's progress???
This one is too good to 'fade away'.
Place one matted light <strong>pandora Jewelry</strong> left of the area for jewellery, and one to the right. <strong>pandora sale</strong> Place reflector light near where the camera is. Whatever you do, avoid mixing light types. <strong>pandora charms</strong> Use only non-fluorescent lights, and isolate your photo 'lab' away from natural light. <strong>pandora bracelets</strong> To have freedom with many settings that will be a must, we will have to use longer exposures.
