The sad things are these companies patent these good ideas and never do anything with them to make the oil and energy companies happy. Its patented so if you or I come up with it we cant use the idea. Thats how I feel maybe Im wrong though.

Toyota, of all companies to breakthrough with this.
I know at my place of employment they do frequent training seminars on "The Toyota Way" as innovative and cost effective business machines.
I think this is very important news, Zorgon.
Please keep us informed if as you get more information.
Ian McLean, good find on the patent info, as well.
I wonder if similar technology isn't already being used in other facets of technology like military and/or black ops? Generally by the time "we" get it, "they" have maxed it out!

Does a motor like this have to run a car?
I'd like to hook it up to my house! Maybe it's only enough power to run the pool pump or just the lights? Maybe I could hook up a few of these...

The real question (sorry if it was already asked) is: Toyota has the patent, but do they have a prototype? Anything that works, and is a viable potential commercial product yet?
AND, what would be the possible Aerospace applications of this technology?

Inventor's design consumes no fuel, emits no fumes
By Bud Kenny
Free Press, Little Rock, AR
April 14-27, 1994
Devices that have truly improved the human condition - such as electricity, the telephone and the airplane - were created by people who passionately believe their inventions would make the world a better place to live. Troy Reed of Tulsa, Oklahoma is such a person.
Reed has invented and patented a motor that consumes no fuel and emits no fumes. It is powerful enough to turn a 7,000-watt generator, which is enough electricity to run an average home. Production of the Reed Magnetic Motor for use by the general public may begin by year's end.
Reed, 57, has also invented an automobile called "Surge" that employs his new technology. Unlike a battery-powered car, Reed's Surge does not have to be plugged in to be recharged. The car recharges itself as it rolls down the highway at speeds of up to 85 miles an hour. Reed and actor Dennis Weaver, a cousin and inventor in the project, plan to make the first highway test-run of the car this summer.
