Robert George Adams - Inventor of the Adams Motor, passed away on the
night of May 10, 2006 in New Zealand. In his late 80's, he had a
serious stroke recently which had paralyzed his left side. He will be
missed.

This article describes a perpetual motion machine, which violates the
known laws of physics. Claims of the development of such devices are
considered pseudoscience by most scientists.

The Adams motor is an example of a claimed perpetual motion or "over
unity device" capable of producing more energy than is supplied to it.
Such claims are generally viewed as pseudoscience by mainstream
scientists. It is clear that functional electric motors can be built
by following his design principles, but claims of greater than 100%
efficiency remain controversial. At a 1994 meeting, several such
motors were demonstrated, but according to supporters "none of the
motors present were of sufficient engineering quality to manifest the
elusive over-unity effect."
In 1969, Robert George Adams (of New Zealand) developed what he
currently calls the Adams Switched Reluctance Pulsed DC Permanent
Magnet Motor Generator. (The terminology is idiosyncratic, because the
design is not that of a traditional switched reluctance motor).
Reluctance is the a measure of the opposition to magnetic flux,
analogous to electric resistance. In the description of the motor's
operation developed by Harold Aspden Ph.D, pulsing the stators
electrically is said to switch the reluctance or opposition to the
rotor magnets.
Working in collaboration with Harold Aspden, theories about the Aether
[note, below] and the motor's alleged interaction with this medium
were developed. He has sought patents for his work (and has received a
UK Patent, GB2282708, with Aspden Harold). Debates over the motor's
power measurement still exist, with the thermal methodology originally
employed open to question. Further claims made by Adams that Ohm's law
is not valid for the apparatus, tend to further confuse output
measurement.
