Bowman Magnet Motor Open Sourcing Project

Status: Project commenced Dec. 2003 with claim to a working device, which later, after three months, ended up running down due to demagnetization.  No replications were accomplished though several were attempted.  In Nov. 2004, a personal friend of the late Lee Bowman stepped forward wanting to help.  We are in process of clarifying things with him.

New Bowman Design Being tested

Sterling, and Group,

Here is a little new information from an old friend of Lee Bowman. It is a different Bowman motor seen in 1964. Lee Bowman was born in late 1879, and died in 1972. With hope we may find a true Bowman motor.

  The 1964 motor is a more advanced design having no gears, and uses round magnets in rotor like we are doing. The new design  is being tested. The rotors are Aluminum...Magnets ALNICO 8... The magnetic pole locations are still in question.

But based on the way it is said to run I believe that the round magnets are Diametrically Magnetized across their cylinder not on the ends. With the line of asmet being at the radius of axes putting one pole on one side of the line, and one on the other....

It would be attracted to the actuator the become superimposed zero force, then repelled away..

More to come...

Later

Eric, Yes, Proof of concept being is being tested. At this time the special Magnets are on order... It looks like the key will be going from attraction to superimposed to repelling at the actuator with no hang-up...The cylinder provides the same effect as the Arc magnets in H Johnson's 1989 patent...Working only with three poles.... The cylinders will be a lot cheaper to have made than arc magnets...This is the same process....And it would look the same if actuators were place all the way around the rotor with gaps to keep them from effecting each other. Lee Bowman at 60 years old married a 24 year old lady...More on the human interest side... And More to come....

Eric, After test is complete (proof of concept). Then others should be able to move on to test motors... There is no need for a lot of people to build one, until the proof is completed.

Others people could build the proof test... I will post the design, and a source for magnets.

Our Old Bowman motors even the Colloway design should be able to use this magnet profile...

Eric, With the magnets being cylinder shape it will be a lot easier and cheaper to get than Arc magnets that are needed for the H Johnson motor. Here is a source

Robert, it is nice to hear from you. Yes, My Unit 0 is exactly the way you said. The magnetic power is scattered in the 120 degrees pattern.

On magnetic paper it can be seen most of the energy is there but superimposed...

The word is that Bowman over came this problem.

Note the magnets are in an Aluminum rotor.

The magnet are inside the edge equal to the magnet's dia.

The rotor is the same thickness as the length of the magnets. Aluminum has some magnetic nature, that magnetic flux will not pass through it as fast as air/space. There was more than 10 most likely 12 magnets on the large disk.

I believe to protect the magnets form flx hammering the Aluminum is used as a flux buffer as will as the air/space gap. Bowman built large motors that did fly apart with over speed... He did load the motor with generator and run electric light/s... The information that I have posted is based on an eye witness of A new Lee Bowman motor in 1964... Based on it action ...I came up with the only way I could see it would work ... I will post a more detail soon.

We have the magnets now for the test, and to build a motor..... We are testing the actuator first to find out size and etc...The Diametrically magnetized magnets are very strange little things.. The weird thing they do is that two of them can act like they attract at the ends and then you can rotate one of them 180 degrees around its axis and the two act like they are repelling.. You don't have to flip the magnets over.. just turn them 180 degrees.. pretty cool. Fun little magnets, very strange.. I recommend some for anyone's collection. I think I can get some Nylon Set Screws from Lowe's, if not I can order them I got the magnets in today to keep from marking the magnets.

Subject: More details on the New Bowman design

Robert, I plan to build the Bowman motor based on the new information that has been conveyed by Lee Bowman's friend.

There are no gears.

There is one 4" dia 1/4" thick Aluminum large rotor, and four 2" dia by 1/4" thick Aluminum small rotor. There is more than 10 most likely 12 magnets in the large rotor and 6 in the free wheeling small rotors. This was 40 years ago we must keep this in mind. He is over 72 years old.. The magnets are round pressed into the rotor and are 1/4" dia and 1/4" holding magnets having a ratio of 2 to 1. The small rotor magnets are face to face with the large rotor's magnets about 1/16 air gap. The actuator is 1/2" by 3/8" by 1/4"... One pole faces the large rotor at a 45 degree angle at 45 degrees from the axis center of the shafts. It is magnetized through the 1/4" dim..

There is a holder for the actuator magnet that holds the magnet in place. When the actuator magnet is turned over the motor runs the other direction. When the actuator is removed the motor stops when it is put exactly in place the motor starts and runs at a high rpm .. It can be dragged to a stop with fingers when let go it will go back to speed.

I have questions about the magnetic placement of the small rotors.

When the magnets are rotated 180 degrees face to face they will repel and there is a torque in them trying to spine back the 180 degrees to attract. The strange magnet design gives a new mix to the design. It will take building it to find how it works...

I would like for everyone to study the design and see is there something that I have over looked...more Images soon.

Robert, Eric,

Yes, Robert we need all the help we can get... I will get all the details, and post them here. You have the understanding to do it.

Eric, all disk axes are on the same plane just like we been doing. With the magnets Exactly face to face with a 1/16 to 1/8" gap. Two small rotors on each size of the large rotor. I am working on an image.

The friend of Bowman did know Bowman... I know more personal detail that will be posted later. We are looking for five other people that worked with Bowman's motor/s through out the 1060 to 1972...We many find a motor... This is my hope.

Doug
