Summary: 


First, let's stop calling this subject "perpetual motion."  No one,
including the inventor ever said it was.

I looked up the references I guessed at in my previous article.

The Pemanent magnet motor is written up in the Spring, 1980 issue
of Science & Mechanics magazine.

A patent was issued to Howard Johnson [sic] of Grass Lake, Mich.
April 24, 1979.  The patent number is 4,151,431.

The patent abstract follows:

The invention is directed to the method of utilizing the unpaired
electron spins in ferro magnetic and other materials as a source of
magnetic fields for producing power without any electron flow as
occurs in normal conductors, and to permanent magnet motors for
utilizing this method to produce a power source.  In the practice
of the invention the unpaired electron spins occurring within
permanent magnets are utilized to produce a motive power source
solely through the superconducting characteristics of a permanent
magnet and the magnetic flux created by the magnets are controlled
and concentrated to orient the magnetic forces generated in such
a manner to do useful continuous work, such as the displacement of
a rotor with respect to a stator.  The timing and orientation of
magnetic forces at the rotor and stator components produced by
permanent magnets to produce a motor is accomplished with the proper
geometrical relationship of the components.



There it is folks.  Can the magnet off the back off a refrigerator
lady bug produce power?  I know people who are convinced it can,
and people who know it can't, as a matter of principle.

I've never seen it work, but the U.S Patent office was convinced.
