I'm not saying a perpetual magnet motor is the answer, or even scientifically reasonable, but there is the whole capitalistic effect that's actually worked against these technologies in the past. Just watch "Who killed the electric Car"... and you'll get a sense of it.
OMG that was a great film. I and my husband watched it in total amazement. Freedom to Fascism is another interesting one to watch.
I agree that big oil and special interests have mostly taken control of where, when, how, and what technology develops and is marketed for these sorts of things.
He who has the most money, makes the rules, seems to be the theme now.
Aside from all that, we have started a motorized bicycle business(which currently run on gas/oil mix, but less than cars, and we are trying to make the electric ones more affordable<---tough job). In that endeavor we have seen how much more the electric engines cost, almost like a deterrent. :( We recycle, use the energy-saving lights, and we'd be all for this motor if it could work. We're tryin to save to be able to build our house with a geo-thermal pad, windmills, solar panels--so we can be self-sufficient. this PMM keeps popping up, and some of the videos look good, but i want to see it in action.
