"Works On Principle Of Compass" Lester J.

"Fuelless Motor Is A Generator" New York Times (February 27, 1928) - The Hendershot "Fuelless motor" is not a motor at all but a generator, according to Major Thomas G. lanphier, commandant at Selfridge Field, Mich., where he with Lester J.

Winding of Magnet Secret. - Inventor Asserts Engine Weighs about 4 Ounces Per Horsepower Expected Here Today. http://www.hyiq.org/Library/Lester.J.Hendershot.htm The New York Times - 1928 February 28 - PITTSBURGH Pen. - Initially indignant because the manner in which his fuelless motor gains its power had been misrepresented in dispatches from Detroit and Washington, Lester J Hendershot today stated there was nothing mysterious about his motor that the force that energizes it is the "same force that pulls the needle of the compass around, and there is nothing mysterious about that". The fuelless motor was not his objective, he explained, at the time he began his experiments some three years ago, when he first became interested in aviation. He soon learned that "the ultimate development of aviation depended largely upon the discovery or invention of an absolutely true and reliable compass," he explained, 'The ordinary magnetic compass does not point to the true north - it points to the magnetic north, and varies from the true north to a different extent at almost every point on the earth's surface." 'There is another compass, the magnetic induction compass, that indicates the true north. But it must be set before each flight, and is not always reliable." "I found that with a pre-magnetized core, I could set up a magnetized field that would indicate the true north, but I didn't know just how to utilize that in the compass i set out to find." "In continuing my experiments, I learned that by cutting the same line of magnetic force - north and south, I had an indicator of the true north, and that by cutting the magnetic field, east and west, I could develop a rotary motion." "I now have a motor built on that principle that will rotate at a constant speed, a speed predetermined when the motor is built. It can be built for any desired speed, and a reliable constant speed motor is one of the greatest needs of aviation." The main secret of Mr. Hendershot's invention, his friend, Barr Peat declares, is, "the method of winding a magnet in the motor so that it will rotate in the opposite direction than the earth revolves." He says there is no heat, because magnetic forces are cold and the motor is stopped only by breaking the magnetic field in the windings. The magnet in the motor, he thinks probably would have to be recharged after about 2,000 hours of operation. Mr. Hendershot declares that one of his motors, complete and ready to be installed in an airplane, would weight little more than four ounces for every horsepower it developed, while the best of the gas engines now built weighs about two pounds per horsepower. Mr Hendershot says that altitude would not affect the efficient operation of his motor, for the magnetic influence of the earth has been found to remain the same as high as man has ever reached. He said the same principle which made his original model operate only when it was placed in one direction - north and south, will be developed so that it will provide a compass that will always indicate true north. Lester J. Hendershot inventor of the "fuelless motor" or self-driven generator or electrical, energy collector, nobody seems to known quite Which, is expected in New York today to dissipate some of the mystery surrounding his machine. It has aroused a good deal of skepticism among men who have dealt with electrical energy all their lives, and among physicists who do not believe that the law of the conservation of energy has been repealed. However, Major Thomas Lanphier, commander of the First Pursuit Group at Selfridge Field, Henry Breckinridge attorney for Colonel Charles A. lindbergh, and D. Barr Peat, a friend of Mr. Hendershot, are just as confident that the inventor has stumbled on something which may be capable of development into a revolutionary power source. Whether the machine has yet arrived in the City, Major Lanphier would not say, and he said yesterday that he did not care to say anything more about the motor until Mr. Hendershot arrives. He did deny again, however, that Colonel lindbergh had any interest in the machine aside from his examination of it while at Selfridge Field.

Tell me about it. They are clueless about software and have no idea where to look for the prior art. They will patent anything. USPTOs test of a valid patent application is are your dollars green and in sufficient quantity. Regards, Martin Brown |
