The JV-1 Motor
The JV-1 Motor has the following parts and assemblies:
~ The Housing Assembly
The Disc Shaft Part
~ The Seal Part
~ The Engine Mount Parts
~ The Disc Assemblies
~ The Auxiliary Assembly
The motor can be made of either metallic or plastic parts, depending on the
size and output of
the motor. Smaller motors could be made of plastic while larger motors will
need to be made
of metallic parts.
The HOUSING ASSEMBLY
~ The Housing assembly consisting of:
- The Cover part
- The Body part
- The Base part
- The two Gasket parts
The Cover Part
The Cover Part (Item 1 in Fig. 1 and Fig. 1.2) is made of molded aluminum or
plastic.
It has a Screw hole with a bolt (Item A) on the top to allow the input of
lubricating oil.
Extrusions with holes are ground through the various locations as shown in
Fig. 1, Fig.
1.2 and in the gasket in Fig. 1.4.
The Body Part
The Body Part (Item 2 in Fig. 1 and Fig. 1.2) is made of forged steel or
plastic. It is an
open ended, square box shaped part. Extrusions with holes are ground and taped
into
the various locations as shown in Fig. 1, Fig. 1.2 and shown in the gasket in
Fig. 1.4.
The Base Part
The Base Part (Item 3 in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 1.3) is made of forged steel
or plastic.
Holes are ground through and threads are tapped into the various locations as
shown
in Fig. 1.3.
- There are eight, type "A" holes in the base. They are thread-less holes and
are
used to attach the two engine mounts (Fig. 4) to the base. Four mounting studs
are fed through the type "A" holes to secure each engine mount to the base.
The type "A" hole shape is shown in cross-section "AA" in Fig. 1.3.:
- There are forty-two type "B" holes in the base. They are thread-less holes
and
are used to attach the seven discs (Fig. 3) to the base. Six mounting studs
are
fed through the type "B" holes to secure each Disc to the base. The type "B"
hole shapes are shown in cross-section "BB" in Fig. 1.3.
- There are twenty type "D" holes in the base. They are threaded holes. Twenty
screws are threaded into the type "D" holes to secure the body part (Item 2 in
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) to the base. The type "D" hole shapes are shown in cross-
section "CC" in Fig. 1.3.
2
CA 02287145 2000-07-27
There are four type "F" holes in the base. They are thread-less holes. Four
mounting studs are fed through the type "F" holes to secure the motor to an
appropriate surface. The type "F" holes are each a straight cylinder shape cut
through the base. The appropriate surface to which the motor is secured could
be a concrete bedding if torque of the motor is too high. If the housing is
made
of plastic, these holes can be used to mount the motor to another stable
surface.
The Gasket Part
The Gasket Part (Fig. 1.4) is made of paper. It is of a square shape with the
interior
section removed. It can be custom ordered from different manufacturers. The
Gasket
part eliminates possible leakage between the cover part and the body part.
Assembly Of The Housing
The above parts are assembled in the following manner:
~ A first Gasket part (Fig. 1.4) is placed between the cover part and the body
part.
~ The Cover part is mounted on the body part with 20 screws.
~ The Disc Assemblies, the Seal Part, The Shaft Part and the Engine Mound
Parts
(all described later) are assembled and attached to the Base Part.
~ A second Gasket part (Fig. 1.4) is placed between the body part and base
part.
The Body part and Base part (Figure 1.3) are connected with 20 screws.
The Housing Assembly is attached to a stable surface.
The DISC SHAFT PART (Item 4 in Fig. 1, Fig. 1.2, Fig. 2, and Fig. 2.1 )
The Disc Shaft Part is machined of steel or molded of plastic. Seven key slots
(slots A
through G in Fig. 2.1 ) are cut with a grinder (if a metallic part) or molded
(if plastic).
A hole (Item "H" in Figure 2.1 ) is drilled beside each of the seven key slots
(Fig. 2.1
shows only one "H" hole beside slot "A" (there should also be similar holes
drilled
beside slots "B" through "G" and offset like slots "B" through "G". Each of
the 7 holes is
a conical shape and is produced by only drilling to a depth to create a "V"
cross-
sectional shape. The seven holes are used to hold the disc on the shaft and to
eliminate any axial movement of the discs on the shaft. The keys slits are
standard
and the size depends upon the torque between shaft and the disc.
Each slot and corresponding hole is offset in a counterclockwise direction by
2.4
degrees from the nearest slot and hole. The offsets are shown in cross-
sections "AA"
to "GG" in Fig. 2.1.
Detail "A" in Fig. 2.1 shows the structure of the shoulder that is required at
each end of
the shaft to mount the bearings. These shoulders eliminate the possible
movement of
the shaft inside the bearings along the engine mounts.
The SEAL PART (Item 5 in Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 9)
The seal prevents oil from seeping out of the housing around the shaft. The
metal part
of the seal is pressed into the housing. A rubber ring rides on the shaft.
This type of
seal can be ordered from different manufacturers. The housing is filled with
oil up to
3/4 of its height. The oil lubricates the magnets and pairs and also
dissipates heat.
CA 02287145 2000-07-27
The ENGINE MOUNT PARTS (Fig. 4 and Item 6 in Fig. 2)
The two Engine Mounts can be machined (ground, drilled and threaded) of forged
steel
or they can be molded of plastic. The Bearings that are used in this assembly
can be
ordered from different manufacturers.
The Engine Mount (Fig. 4) consists of:
~ The clamp part (Item 19)
The bearing part (Item 20)
~ The body part (Item 18)
Three views of the Engine Mounts are shown in Fig. 4. The bearing part (Item
20) is
secured between the clamp part and body part with two screws as shown in cross-
section "AA" in Fig. 4. Standard screws can be used and the screws' dimensions
depend upon the size of the motor and whether it is made of metallic or
plastic parts.
There are four threaded holes at the bottom of the body part, as shown in
cross-
section "AA" in Fig. 4. Studs are fed through the Base part, type "A" holes in
Fig. 1.3,
and are screwed into the cross-section "AA" holes in Fig. 4.
The DISC ASSEMBLIES (Items 7 through 13 in Fig. 2 and Fig. 3)
The JV-1 motor has seven discs assemblies. The discs (Items 7 through Item 13
in
Fig. 2, Fig. 3) are identically made. The seven discs are mounted on the Shaft
part
one after another rotated by 2.44 degrees in a counterclockwise direction. A
more
thorough explanation of this is supplied in further text.
The Discs (Fig. 3) consists of:
~ The disc holder, Item 14
~ The inner moving core of the disc assembly, Item 15
~ The moving iron attractor holder rim, Item 16
~ The outer stationary rim of the disc assembly, Item 17
~ The Static Magnet Holder
~ The moving iron attractor assembly (Fig. 6)
~ The set screws (Fig. 5)
The Disc Holder (Item 14 in Fig. 3)
The Disc Holder (Item 14 in Fig. 3) is made of forged steel and machine
(ground),
or molded of plastic. The material depends upon the torque of the motor. Two
Disc
Holders are used per disc as shown on Fig. 3. The two Disc Holders are welded
or
glued to the outer stationary rim of the each disc (Item 17). Studs are fed
through
the bottom of the Disc Holders and secured to the Base Part through the type
"B"
holes as shown in Fig. 1.3.
The Inner Moving Core of the Disc (Item 15 in Fig. 3, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6)
The Inner Moving Core of the Disc is machined on a lathe of steel or aluminum,
or
molded from plastic. The material depends upon the torque of the motor. A Key
Slot is ground into the circular core of the disc. A Setscrew Hole is drilled
and
threaded or tapped into one side of the Inner Moving Core of the Disc as shown
in
Fig. 5. This Setscrew positions the disc on the shaft at the point of the
holes as
shown in the cross-sections "AA" through "HH" in Fig. 2.1.

CA 02287145 2000-07-27
The Inner Moving Core of the Disc (Item 15 in Fig. 3, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6)
(cont.)
Eight threaded holes are drilled into the Inner Moving Core of the Disc. They
are
equally spaced and are used to attach the Moving Iron Attractor Holder rim,
Item 16
to the Inner Moving Core of the Disc (Item 15) as shown in Fig. 3 and Fig 5.
The pin (Item 40 in Fig. 6) rides on the notch shaped edge of the left side of
the
Inner Moving Core of the Disc (Item 15 in Fig. 5). This pin moves the shaft
(Items
39 in Fig. 7) into the desired position so the magnet can be freed to move (to
be
described later).
The Moving Iron Attractor Holder Rim (Item 16 in Fig. 3, Fig. 5, and Fig. 6)
The Moving Iron Attractor Holder Rim can be made of machined steel plates or
molded plastic. Twenty-one Moving Iron Attractor Assemblies (Items 31, 32, 21,
30
37 and 29 in Fig. 6) are attached (spaced equally around the rim) to the
Moving
Iron Attractor Holder Rim.
The Moving Iron Attractor Holder Rim is milled with 8 oblong holes (item 54 in
Fig.
3) in the rim and it is through these eight oblong holes that the rim is
attached to
each Inner Moving Core of the Disc (Item 15) as shown in Fig 3 and Fig 5. The
Rim is attached to the core in such a way that the rim can rotate along the
oblong
cuts.
The Outer Stationary Rim of the Disc (Item 17 in Fig. 3, Fig. 5 and Fig. 6)
The Outer Stationary Rim of the Disc (Item 17) can be made of machined steel
or
molded plastic. The Disc Holders (Item 34 in Fig. 8) are welded or glued to
this part
(Item 17).
Twenty-one Magnet Assemblies (Items 34, 41, 35, 27, 26, 25, 38, 40, 39, 24,
23, 22
in Fig 6 and Fig. 8) are mounted at 17.14 degrees equally spaced on the inner

CA 02287145 2000-07-27
Static Magnet Assembly Extender (Item 34 in Fig. 6 (cut view) and Fig. 8)
The Static Magnet Assembly Extender is mounted between the Outer Stationary
Rim of the Disc (Item 17) and the Static Magnet Holder (Item 23) as shown in
Fig 6. It is made of non-magnetic steel, aluminum or molded plastic. Two views
of the extender's shape are shown in Fig. 8.
The Shafts (Items 22, 24 and 41 )
These shafts are shown in Fig. 6. The shafts are made of machine steel or
molded plastic. One hole is drilled perpendicular to the axis of the shafts at
each end of the shafts to take a cotter pin to hold the shafts in place when
mounted in the assembly.
One Shaft (Item 22 in Fig. 6) is used to mount the Static Magnet Holder (Item
23
in Fig. 6) to the Static Magnet Assembly Extender (Item 34 in Fig. 6). The
Static
Magnet Holder rotates on this Shaft when it is free to move.
Shaft (Item 24 in Fig. 6) is used to limit the movement of the Static Magnet
Holder (item 23 in Fig. 6).
Two shafts (Item 41 ) are used to attach the Static Magnet Assembly Extender
to
the Outer Stationary Rim of the Disc (Item 17).
The Springs (Items 27, 35, and 38)
These Springs are shown in Fig 6 and can be bought from different
manufacturers. The size and strength are dependent on the size of the motor
and the strength of the magnets. The placement and use of the springs are
described below.
The Shaft (Item 39) and Pin (Item 40)
The Shaft and Pin are shown in detail in Fig. 7 and their use is show in Fig.
5
and Fig. 6. The shaft and pin are made of machined steel or molded plastic.
The Pin (Item 40) is mounted through the Shaft (Item 39). The Spring (item 38)
and the Shaft (Item 29) are inserted into the "bottom" of the Static Magnet
Assembly Extender (Item 34). The shaft (Item 39) when extended by the spring
(Item 38) is used to lock the Static Magnet Holder (Item 23) in place and
prevent
it from rotating.
The pin (Item 40 in Fig. 6) rides on the notch shaped edge of the left side of
the
Inner Moving Core of the Disc (Item 15 in Fig. 5). This pin moves the shaft
(Items 39 in Fig. 7) "up" into Static Magnet Assembly Extender (Item 34) so
the
Static Magnet Holder (Item 23) can be freed to rotate (to be described later).
The Static Magnet Holder (Item 23)
This assembly is made of two parts. The machined steel holder is shown in
views "AA" and "BB" as Item 23 in Fig. 7. A permanent magnet is inserted into
the steel holder. The shape of the permanent magnet is shown as being a
cylinder in the drawings, but the holder and magnet could also be made of
other
shapes (U-shaped, rectangular, etc.).
6
CA 02287145 2000-07-27
The Cable Holder (Item 25 in Fig. 7) and Cable (Item 26 in Fig. 6)
Each Cable Holder has consists of three parts:
A) the body,
B) the shaft, and
C) the barrel
All the parts can be made of machined steel or molded plastic. A detailed,
three
view drawing of the Cable Holder is shown as Item 25 in Fig. 7. The cable
holder is screwed into the Static Magnet Assembly Extender (Item 34 in Fig.
6).
The cable holder guides and limits the movement of the cable (Item 26 in Fig.
6). Two Cable Holders are required (one on each side of the Static Magnet
Assembly Extender (Item 34 in Fig. 6)) for each Static Magnet Holder (Item 23
in Fig. 6).
Each Cable (Item 26 in Fig. 6) is made of twisted wire. It is 5.5 cm long and
has
a movement limiter at the top end (as shown in Fig 6). The movement limiter is
a square metal "plate" against which the Spring (Item 27 in Fig. 6) pushes to
move the Cable to limit the movement of the Static Magnet Holder (Item 23 in
Fig. 6). Two cables are required (one on each side of the Static Magnet
Assembly Extender (Item 34 in Fig. 6)) for each Static Magnet Holder (Item 23
in Fig. 6).
The Moving Iron Attractor Assembly (Fig. 5, Fig. 6, Fig. 7 and Fig. 8)
The Moving Iron Attractor Assembly consists of:
~ Shaft (Item 21 )
Shaft (Item 29)
~ Shaft (Item 30)
~ Limiter (Item 31 )
~ Moving Iron Attractor (Item 32)
~ Spring (Item 37)
The Shafts (Items 21, 29, and 30)
These shafts are shown in Fig. 6. The shafts are made of machine steel or
molded plastic. One hole is drilled perpendicular to the axis of the shafts at
each end of the shafts to take a cotter pin to hold the shafts in place when
mounted in the assembly.
The Shaft (Item 21 in Fig. 6) is used to mount the Moving Iron Attractor (Item
32
in Fig. 6) to the Moving Iron Attractor Holder Rim (Item 16 in Fig. 5). The
Moving Iron Attractor rotates on this Shaft when it is free to move.
The Shaft (Item 29 in Fig. 6) is mounted on the Moving Iron Attractor Holder
Rim
(Item 16 in Fig. 5). The Moving Iron Attractor rotates in a clockwise
direction
until it touches this Shaft.
The Shaft (Item 30 in Fig. 6) is mounted on the Moving Iron Attractor Holder
Rim
(Item 16 in Fig. 5). The Spring (Item 37 in Fig. 6) is attached to this Shaft.
7
CA 02287145 2000-07-27
The Spring (Item 37)
This Springs can be bought from different manufacturers. The size and strength
are dependent on the size of the motor and the strength of the magnets. One
end of the Spring is attached to the Moving Iron Attractor (Item 32 in Fig. 6)
and
the other end to Shaft (Item 30 in Fig. 6) The Spring is used to pull the
Moving
Iron Attractor in a clockwise direction until is rests on Shaft (Item 29 in
Fig. 6).
The Limiter (Item 31 in Fig. 5 8~ Fig. 7)
One Limiter is used on the right hand side of the Moving Iron Attractor (Item
32
in Fig. 6). The Limiter can be made of machined steel or molded plastic. The
Limiter hold the Moving Iron Attractors in alignment with the Static Magnet
Assemblies as shown in Fig. 5.
The Moving Iron Attractor (Item 32 in Fig. 7)
The Moving Iron Attractor can be machined of steel and highly polished and is
shown as Item 32 in Fig. 7 and Fig. 6. It can also be machined so it contains
a
magnet and of similar function to the Static Magnet Holder (Item 23) if larger
attractive forces are required by the JV-1 Motor.
The AUXILIARY ASSEMBLY
Once the JV-1 Motor is started, theoretically it could work forever. In real
life it would work for
a very long time, but malfunctions will occur, e.g., fatigue of magnetic
strength, bearings and
other parts. In order to stop the motor, there is a need for a braking
assembly.
The braking system is shown in (Fig. 10) and it consists of a 3-cylinder
assembly. It is
powered with hydro oil and activated with manpower. Force goes through the
levered
(handle), cylinder 3, then cylinders 1 and 2. Braking pads are pressed against
the Disc Shaft
Part (Item 4 in Fig 2.1 ). Friction force stops the JV-1 Motor.
Starting The JV-1 Motor
In order to assemble the motor, the each of the Moving Iron Attractors (item
32) must be
strapped in the 90 degree rotated position as shown in Fig 6.3. With the
attractors in this
position, the attractive forces to the associated magnets are minimized. When
all the Disc
assemblies are locked in place on the shaft and the shaft is inserted into the
motor, the
Auxiliary Assembly brake is applied to the shaft. At this point it is safe to
remove the straps
from the Moving Iron Attractors (item 32).
When the Auxiliary Assembly brake is released, the JV-1 motor starts rotating
on its own.

PRINCIPLE OF WORK
The Primary Forces of the Motor
After "starting" the JV-1 motor, it continues to operate because of the
difference between two
forces. The attractive force of magnets as they come together is greater than
the force
required to separate magnets.

Illustration A Illustration B
In Illustration A, there are two attracting objects separated by a distance
"L". The right box
represents the "Static Magnet Holder" (Item 23 in Fig. 6) with an attractive
magnetic force of
FM1. The left box represents the "Moving Iron Attractor" (Item 32 in Fig. 6).
When the
"Moving Iron Attractor" is in close proximity to the "Static Magnet Holder",
the "Moving Iron
Attractor" takes on the properties of a magnet and it has an attractive force
of FS1.
The JV-1 Motor can be assembled with the "Moving Iron Attractor" (Item 32 in
Fig. 6) made of
machined steel or it can be made so it contains a magnet like the Static
Magnet Assembly
(Item 23). If larger attractive forces are required by the JV-1 Motor, the
"Moving Iron
Attractor" would be assembled with its own magnet. In either case the
resultant total
attractive force is:
FS~ + FMS = FM x-axis
In Illustration B, the two attracting objects are touching. The left box still
represents the
"Moving Iron Attractor" and it still has an x-axis attractive force of FS1.
The right box still
represents the "Static Magnet Holder" and it still has an x-axis attractive
force of FM1.
The y-axis length of the magnets is a distance of "L". If you choose to
separate the magnets
by sliding them along each other in the y-axis direction rather than the x-
axis, the force
required is:
FS2 + FM2 = FM y-axis
9
CA 02287145 2000-07-27
I have performed some experiments with permanent magnets. I observed the
following:
When magnets are moved apart along in the direction of axis X, the required
force must be greater than FM x-axis.
2. But, when magnets are moved away from one another in the direction of Y-
axis,
the FM y-axis force is much smaller.
When the "Moving Iron Attractor" is made of machined steel, the forces
required to separate
the objects are such that the FM y-axis force is about 20% of the FM x-axis.
When the
"Moving Iron Attractor" is also includes a magnet, the forces required to
separate the objects
are such that the FM y-axis force is about 30% of the FM x-axis.
These differences in forces provide the JV-1 motor the ability to produce
work.
The Make-up Of The Discs and Magnets
JV-1 motor consists of 7 discs. Each of the 7 discs is made up of a component
which
remains stationary and a component, which rotates relative to the stationary
component.
There are 21 Static Magnet Holders (Item 23 in Fig. 6) attached to each of the
7 disc
components that remain stationary. There are 21 "Moving Iron Attractor
Assemblies" (Item 32
in Fig. 6) attached to each of the 7 disc components that rotate or move
relative to the
component. For each disc component, each set of 21 Assemblies is attached to
the disc at
an arc distance of 17.14 degrees from one another around each disc's
circumference.
The Relative Position Of The Magnets On The Discs
Illustration C shows, in a linear image, the relative position of the magnets
along the
circumference of the seven discs. The magnets are equally spaced around each
of the discs.
The rotating portion of the discs are offset from one another so they provide
continuity of
magnetic force from one disc to the next.
Some of the 21 "Moving Iron Attractors" are shown on the left side of each
disc and some of
the 21 "magnets" are shown on the right side of each disc.
The Moving Iron Attractors are labeled as:
MA x.y - the Moving Iron Attractor in position "x" on disc "y", e.g. the upper
left Moving
Iron Attractor displayed is MA 1.21 and it is the Moving Iron Attractor in
position 21 on
disc 1
The Static Magnets are labeled as:
SM x.y - is the magnet in position "x" on disc "y", e.g. the upper left magnet
displayed is SM 1.21 and it is the magnet in position 21 on disc 1.

The Interaction of Magnets 8~ Attractor Pairs When They Are In Close Proximity
To One
Another
The interacting pairs, consisting of one Static Magnet Holder (Item 23) and
one Moving Iron
Attractor (Item 32), take on 7 different positions relative to one another.
They are described in
Fig.'s 6.1 through 6.3 and they are:
Position 1 (as shown in Disc 1 in Illustration C)
(Fig. 6.1 ) The Moving Iron Attractor (Item 32) is to the left and below the
magnet (Item 23). At this point the two magnets are 2 cm apart
and they are beginning to attract each other.
Position 2 (as shown in Disc 7 in Illustration C)
The Moving Iron Attractor (Item 32) is to the left and below the
magnet (Item 23). At this point the two magnets are 1 cm apart
and they are continuing to attract each other.
11
CA 02287145 2000-07-27
Position 3 (as shown in Disc 6 in Illustration C)
(Fig. 6.2) The Moving Iron Attractor (Item 32) is touching the magnet (Item
23). At this point, the shaft (Item 39) is moved upward into the
holder (item 34) as the shaft (Item 40) hits a bump in the outer
ridge on the disc holder (Fig. 6, item 16). The movement of the
shaft (Item 39) frees the magnet (Item 23) so it can rotate about
shaft (Item 22).
Position 4 (as shown in Disc 5 in Illustration C)
The Moving Iron Attractor and the magnet (Item 23) remain fully
attached and have reached half of the final rotation.
Position 5 (as shown in Disc 4 in Illustration C)
(Fig. 6.3) The Moving Iron Attractor and the magnet (Item 23) are still fully
attached and have completed the rotation and are ready to start
separation.
Position 6 (as shown in Disc 3 in Illustration C)
The Moving Iron Attractor has now moved along the magnet (Item
23) and only half of each is attached.
Position 7 (as shown in Disc 2 in Illustration C)
The Moving Iron Attractor has now moved the end of the magnet
(Item 23). Both magnets are now able to rotate back to the
positions in which they were in Fig. 6.1. Spring (Item 37) pulls the
Moving Iron Attractor back into its initial position. Now the spring
(Item 27) pulls the magnet back into its initial position. After this
point, shaft (Item 40) has reached the end of the bump in the outer
ridge on the disc holder (Fig. 6, item 16) and the shaft (Item 39) is
moved by spring (item 38) back to its initial position and locks the
magnet back into its initial position. Then the Moving Iron Attractor
moves on to the next magnet on the disc (Item 17) to begin the
attractive process again.
The Motor's Operation
The JV-1 Motor's operation is described in greater detail in this section. The
following four
phases are related to the above 7 interacting pair positions in the following
manner.
Phase 1 This phase covers the time from position 1 to position 3.
Phase 2 This phase covers the time from position 3 to position 5.
Phase 3 This phase covers the time from position 5 to position 7.
Phase 4 This phase covers the time from position 7 to position 1.
Phase 1: The Positive Attraction Phase (Fig. 6.1 and Fig. 6)
During this phase, the primary forces in effect are the attractive forces
between the
Moving Iron Attractors and the Static Magnet Holder. The attractive force
increases
from a small value to the maximum for the magnet as the pair approaches one
another. Also, as the Moving Iron Attractor approaches the Static Magnet
Holder,
12
CA 02287145 2000-07-27
the Moving Iron Attractor begins to take on the properties of a magnet and the
attractive forces increase. The moving part of the disc is used like a
flywheel to
capture the work produce by the magnet's attractive forces.
The attractive forces would normally cause the Moving Iron Attractor to rotate
in a
clockwise direction about axis (item 21 ), but shaft (item 29) prevents the
Moving
Iron Attractor from rotating beyond shaft (Item 29). At the same time, the
attractive
forces for the Static Magnet Holder would normally cause it to rotate in a
counterclockwise direction about axis (item 22), but the shaft (item 39)
prevents the
Static Magnet Holder from rotating.
The Moving Iron Attractor Holder Rim (item 16) is designed with 8 oblong holes
through which the screws (item 50) are threaded to the core (item 15). The
oblong
holes allow the rim to rotate relative to the core.
At this point the attractive forces cause the Moving Iron Attractor Holder Rim
(item
16) to move such that the rim moves in a counter clockwise direction relative
to the
core. When the left side of the Rim hole hits the screw (item 50) the rim
moves
together with the core. During this time the Rim and Core move together and
towards the Static Magnet Holder (item 23).
As a result the attractive force causes the Moving Iron Attractor's disc to
move
around its axis (item 4) in a clockwise direction and further brings the two
magnets
together until they are touching as in Fig. 6. This is the only phase where
positive
energy is generated by the motor.
When the magnet and the metallic attractor pair finally touch, the Moving Iron
Attractor Holder Rim (item 16) cannot move any further relative to the Static
Magnet
Holder (item 23), but the Inner Moving Core of the Disc (item 15) continues to
move
relative to the Moving Iron Attractor Holder Rim (item 16). This continues
until the
screw (item 50) touches the right side of the oblong hole on the Rim (Item
16).

The length of this movement is 3 mm, which coincides with the length and
height of
the ramp (Illustration D) that moves the pin (item 40) and shaft (item 39)
upward.
When the pin and shaft are fully extended upward, the Static Magnet Assembly
(Fig. 6.2) is free to start to rotate.

Phase 2: The Attracted Pair Rotation Phase
During this phase, the momentum of the rotating disc causes the Moving Iron
Attractor to rotate counterclockwise around axis (Item 21 ) and at the same
time the
Static Magnet Holder rotates counterclockwise around its axis (item 22). The
rotation continues until the interacting pair has rotated to a position that
is 90
degrees relative to the axis of rotation of the Moving Iron Attractor's disc
(Fig. 6.3).
Phase 3: The Attracted Pair Separation Phase
During this phase, the attracted and rotated pair separates. The Moving Iron
Attractor is "pulled" in a clockwise direction by the momentum of the moving
part of
the disc (Items 15 and 16). Meanwhile, the Static Magnet Holder is attached to
the
Outer Stationary Rim of the Disc (Item 17) and the Static Magnet Holder
remains
stationary relative the Moving Iron Attractor. This results in the Static
Magnet
Holder sliding along the 2 cm surface of the Moving Iron Attractor until they
are
separated.
The force needed to do this work is the product of attractive forces between
the
interacting pair and coefficient of friction between the interacting pair's
surfaces.
The coefficient of friction for steel on steel in a lubricated environment is
0.08.
Since the force required to separate the interacting pair by sliding them
along their
attached surface is much smaller than the attractive force in Phase 1, the
attractive
force by the next interacting pair overcomes the separation work required
here.
Phase 4: The Stabilization Phase
When the interacting pair has reached the point where they are no longer
touching,
the interacting pair returns to the positions as shown in Fig 6.1. This is
accomplished as follows:
The Moving Iron Attractor (Item 32 in Fig. 6) is rotated in a clockwise
direction and
returned to its initial position by the spring (Item 37 in Fig. 6).
At the same time, the Spring (Item 27 in Fig. 6) pushes the cable (Item 26 in
Fig. 6),
which pushes the Static Magnet Holder (item 23 in Fig. 6) back to its initial
position.
When sufficient time has passed to allow the Static Magnet Holder to rotate
back
into is initial position, Pin (Item 40 in Fig. 6) reaches the end of the
elevated section
of the notch shaped edge of the left side of the Inner Moving Core of the Disc
(Item
15 in Fig 5). Then the spring (Item 38 in Fig. 6) pushes the shaft (Item 39 in
Fig. 6)
back into place, locking the Static Magnet Holder so it can't rotate.
The Interacting Pair remains in their "initial" positions as the disc
continues to
rotate. This Stabilization Phase is when the work (positive or negative)
produced
by either the Moving Iron Attractor or the Static Magnet Holder is very small
relative
to the positive work of Phase 1 and the negative work of Phases 2 and 3.
The discs are designed so there is a Static Magnet Holder every 7 cm around
the
stationary part of the disc and a Moving Iron Attractor every 7 cm around the
moving part
of the disc. The primary positive force of Phase 1 lasts for about 2 cm of
this 7 cm
distance. The Rotation Phase 2 last for about 1 cm. When touching, the Static
Magnet
Holder and the Moving Iron Attractor have a 2 cm common length along which
they have
to slide. Hence the Stabilization phase lasts for about 2 cm.

The JV-1 Motor can be used to power a generator (AC or DC) to produce
electrical energy.
The JV-1 motor has a relatively small number of rotations per minute, but it
has a very large
torque. In order to increase the number of revolutions per minute, it needs
clutches and
transmission gearboxes to bring the RPM to adequate level to run a generator
effectively. All
of these parts are easily available on the market. The size and shape are
determined by the
output strength of the JV-1 Motor built.
The above has described the operation of the basic unit or drum. To increase
the power of
the JV-1 motor, the following can be done:
~ the diameter of the disc and the number of magnets on each disc can be
increased,
~ the number of discs on the shaft can be increased,
~ stronger magnets can be used, and/or
~ a magnet can be included in the Moving Iron Attractor
If a more portable motor is desired to produce lessfpower, the dimension and
number of
components can be decreased. In such a case, the JV-1 motor could be used for
camping or
as a portable source of energy to remote, un-electrified areas.
