Hi Jeffery, I have another follow-up question regarding the fascinating Brady device, which I hope you or other vortexians can answer. It is your suspicion that the Brady device is spinning due to the result of stored kinetic energy from the stators induced into the rotors as the stators were act

Hi Jeff, This has been a good discussion with contributions coming from many corners. Thanks for the input and personal expertise. What it all seems to boil down to is whether the Brady device can be shown to turn without any evidence of slowing down AND ALSO to power an external load like a gene

Steve, I built one of these things once when I investigated the Minato motor for Mallove. This is just a variant of the Minato motor, and looks to be a scam. Minato also uses angled magnets--this allows for an impressive acceleration of the rotor at certain points of its cycle, but there's no

I have observed Brady's video of prototype II numerous times, taking special attention to observe the angle and spacing of the magnets. ItÂ’s my understanding that there is a more sophisticated prototype version 3 as well though I could not locate any video footage. The individual magnets are space
