Troy Reed - A Genius Inventor of the Magnetic Motor

You have to watch this whole video, but if you want to jump right to the test drive you can go to around the 1 hour mark.
*Note: We haven't heard from Reed for 15 years so do not know current status.

Troy also had a magnetic bed with hundreds of magnets with the north poles all facing the inside of a big tube. He had a sliding bed that people would lie on, then he would push them inside the tube so that all the north pole energy surrounded their body. People claimed it stopped back pains and helped heal a variety of things.

“Inventor Troy Reed died in 2006, (this is incorrect, Troy Reed is still alive) but his videos live on at youtube. *We don't know if he is still alive?? Imagine, an electric car that recharges itself as it runs…hnmmm…now where have we heard that before? Ah yes, shades of Carl Tilley! My concern is it was posted on November 20, 2007 but I have no idea when it was made. So what is the current status? If you know, drop me a line so I can update this post. / Magnetic Miracle (1994?) – 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. The 1989 prototype uses a horizontal shaft with several magnets on it. Above the shaft are four vertical spring-loaded pistons with a magnet on the end closest to the shaft. Turning the hand crank spins the horizontal shaft and the magnetic spring-loaded pistons move up and down to trigger the motion of the shaft and the magnetic force field. Once the shaft is put into motion, it continues to spin until a brake is applied. Instead of moveable pistons, the latest model of the motor uses and electronic system and stationary magnets to start and control the motion of the shaft. Consequently, the only moving part in the motor is the horizontal shaft. In the current model, the shaft turns in bearings, but Reed said the mass-produced model will not have the bearings. Instead, the shaft will be magnetically suspended inside the motor casing. Suspending the shaft means there will be nothing to wear out, or make noise, Reed said. The federal government is aware of what is going on at Reed Technologies. In fact, Reed said NASA has volunteered to test the motor. Reed estimated it will cost about $3,500 to mass produce.
