A magnetic motor (or magnet motor) is a device which converts power of or relating to or caused by magnetism (e.g., "magnetic forces") into mechanical force and motion, with no other input. It usually provides rotary mechanical motion. The machines that utilizes the properties of a magnet for mechanical energy.

For systems that use electrical input along with magnetic, see Directory:Electromagnetic.

Witnesses

Conventional physics says that it is "impossible" for magnets to provide a primary energy source. Yet thousands of researchers worldwide have been pursuing the task of building a working magnet motor. Many claim to have achieved this objective. None has reached the marketplace yet.

New Energy Congress Members Witness Magnet Motors

  • Running Magnet Motors Witnessed (http://pesn.com/2007/09/28/9500499_NEC_Magnet_Motor_Witnesses/) - Four of twenty New Energy Congress members who responded to a week-long poll said they had personally witnessed a magnet motor in operation in which magnets were the only motive force. A follow-up poll presented to the general public shows a similar ratio. (PESN; Sept. 28, 2007)
