NEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCENEWSCIENCE Figure 8 reduced efficiency because of the core flux saturation effect provided by the permanent magnet. U.S. Patent This is one of the most important points to make about the Flynn apparatus. If you Jun. 12, 2001 approach it as if it is a normal piece of sci- Sheet 32 of 32 entific equipment, then proper optimisation is not greatly problematic. For example, having more turns on the output coils sim- ply means more voltage and less current— exactly as standard textbook equations pre- dict. Increased input voltage enables faster switching speeds, a consequent greater rate of change of magnetic flux, resulting in higher absolute output, but only up to the flux saturation limit of the core material. US 6,246,561 B1 The Future of Flux Core Motors There has been a lot of confusion about the flux core technology which Joe Flynn has pioneered. I believe this is due in large grade-8 ceramic magnets should be used so as to avoid flux satura- _ part to the way it was originally presented to the public.

The requirement for strong magnets to obtain over- um energy pumping system, but is concerned with the ordinary unity results is as much of a myth as the idea that "new physics" is manipulation of flux within a core. It is also illogical to use the Fig. #9 required. single flux field layout when the dual flux field layout doubles But perhaps the greatest trade secret of the electrical devices—__ efficiency, for no significant increase in unit cost. one which requires several lengthy non-disclosure agreements to Furthermore, this technology is optimally implemented to multi- be signed before it can be disclosed—is that the input and output _ ply the application of magnetic force, with particular regard to the circuits must be closed in series.

Thus you have an ordinary transformer with performance almost beyond belief, there appears to be little to stop commercial acceptance of this remarkable Figure 8 technology. oo Optimal Flux Core Motor Construction References Magnets __ Steel Armature Linear Actuator * Joe Flynn's website, http://www.flynnresearch.net/ * MEG US Patent No. 6,362,718, at http://www.rexresearch.com/meg/meg.htm Flux Paths About the Author: Tim Harwood, MA, has followed the "free energy" scene since the early days of the cold fusion movement.
