- Lee Bowman: born, died what years? Where born? Where died?
Follow-up Requests for Those
Who are Assisting with Replication and Design Prior to World Publication
- Please report your successes and failures
- Report the output
- Report any design or performance improvements you discover
- Let us know if we may mention you by name? phone? email? address? and most
importantly if we may mention that your prototype is available for public
display.
- Placement of actuator magnet
- radially in relation to main rotor fulcrum and repelling rotor (closer
or further from repelling rotor)
- gap distance from main rotor
- horizontally, front to back, bringing it closer/further from the N/S
poles of the rotor magnet
- Strength of actuator magnet -- best performance with identical to main, or
attract, or repel rotor, or does it matter?
- Differing sizes of magnets v. radii of rotor v. gauss of magnets.
- Miniscule movement of the entire main rotor horizontally in respect to
smaller rotors (and the same for the smaller rotors one at a time in
relation to larger rotor)
- front-to-back
- side-to-side (would require slight tilting of shaft angle unless new
gears were manufactured)
- Tolerance of rotor magnets
- Degree of uniformity
- Within one rotor
- Across all three rotors
- Horizontal placement in the rotor, front-to-back.
- One magnet tolerance
- Multiple magnet tolerance
- Other combinations of magnets, besides 8:4, large:small rotor.
- e.g. 12:6, or 16:8 (or other combinations of 2:1 ratio), with small
rotors spinning 2x large rotor
- e.g. 12:4 or 18:6 (or other combinations of 3:1 ratio), with small
rotors spinning 3x large rotor
- Other ratios: 4:1, 5:1, etc.
- Other combinations of rotors
- Four small rotors, alternating attract, repel, attract, repel, each
with 4 magnets, while large (4x) rotor has 16 magnets.
- (smaller) Four small rotors, with 3 magnets each, while large rotor
has 18 magnets, and small rotors spin 3x for each turn of the large
rotor
- (larger) Four small rotors, with 5 magnets each
- Other combinations of rotors and magnet ratios. (variations on above
theme)
- Adding another actuator at either QA1, QR1 or QR2 (another of Mann's son's
ideas)
- with N facing rotor.
- with S facing rotor.
- Movement of left-hand and right-hand rotors slightly to left or right from
exact symmetry.
- Doubling repulse rotors (one on front and one on back, on both sides)
- Will the device work better with a stronger or with a weaker magnet as
actuator?
- Can short magnets be stacked to perform like a solid magnet?
- Does a given magnet have a set proportion of North-to-South strength per
given general strength of the magnet, or are some magnets stronger in the
South than North or vice versa, even if just slight? Can this
phenomenon be used to improve the function of the Bowman motor by grouping
like magnets on one rotor, e.g. the attraction rotor, being populated with
magnets whose south polarity is stronger?
- Mann mentioned the idea of using two attracting small rotors as a design
modification for R&D.

basic replication has been accomplished, here are some ideas for some
