CreditsDouglas A. Mann is to be credited with the primary inventive genius in this project. He did not have a complete set of plans or instructions from which to recreate the Lee Bowman motor. He drew from a number of references on the Internet, but the crucial missing pieces of information had to be inspired anew. In some cases he cites his 12-year-old son as having helped provide some of the clues. It was his son, for example, who thought of orienting the actuator magnet 90º to the rotor magnet. Seventy-five-years old at the time, Bowman may have been the first in recent history to construct a working magnetic motor (1954). Apparently, all he had to go by was a 1269 design by Peter Peregrius. Bowman said it took a mere 100 hours to complete a working device. His secret seems to have gone with him to the grave, though Mann wonders if he may have conveyed it to some of the Bowman family. Mann thinks that Howard Johnson most probably received much of his foundation thinking from Bowman's patent application. Johnson was with the Department of Energy, and most probably read both Peregrius' and Bowman's work. This hunch is strengthened with the fact that Johnson's first running motor had an actuator magnet with fixed stator magnets. (Johnson's Stonehenge motor from 1964.) Howard Johnson made many novel improvements upon that. We will be hearing more from Mann regarding the HJ magnetic motor. There are others as well who have contributed to this open sourcing project.
