Rather than wait until I am ready to report such further progress, I thought it appropriate to inform you and, via you, the readers of your newsletter at this stage. CONCLUSION In summary, just as with the reluc Lance motor, one seeks to use a magnet to inject inductive energy into an air gap and then release that energy as mechani cal work as the air gap closes, before NEXUS·53
