(OP)
Anyone investigated the physics and viability of the patent for this thing?  Supposedly a strictly magnetic motor.  Is this bunk?

RE: Johnson Motor

Patent number: 4151431, Filing date: Dec 6, 1973, Issue date: Apr 24, 1979.

"Anyone investigated...?"
I'm sure many have.

"Is this bunk?"
Duh.
 

RE: Johnson Motor

I have a "Johnson" motor and my wife hates it!!

RE: Johnson Motor

The USPTO only really has two rules:
> Must be new invention, with sufficient distinction from previous inventions
> Must not claim over-unity

They police neither compliance to reality nor feasibility of implementation
