Sailor crafts a motor device in spare time at naval air station
In Jacksonville, a navy enlistee, J B Suarks, two years in the service, and a radio repairman, conceived a magnet motor. He observed magnets on a string above a bucket spin for hours and built a device using two movable magnets to create alternating attraction and repulsion. The setup claims to require only a fraction of the motor’s energy.
