Marinov Motors - Revisited

["Tesla list" <tesla@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Original poster: "Mccauley, Daniel H" <daniel.h.mccauley@xxxxxxxx>

This is a follow-up post regarding an earlier discussion regarding 
the operation of Marinov motors as whether they operate via thermal 
or electromagnetic means.

In this time that has passed since my original post, I have found 
three papers which provide theories and data on to the 
electromagnetic principles of the
ball-bearing, or Marinov motor.  These are IEEE papers, so 
unfortunately I cannot post them due to copyright reasons, but they 
are listed here and can be ordered from the
IEEE if anyone is interested in reading them.
