Howard Robert Johnson
Howard Richmond Johnson was born in 1919 in Pound, Virginia, USA, and died Jan. 2, 2008 in Blacksburg, VA.[1] He began investigating magnetism in 1942 as a graduate student at Vanderbilt University and dedicated his life to invent a "Perpeetuum Mobile" that he called “Permanent Magnet Motor”.[2] After a long process, he received U.S. Patent 4151431.[3] on April 24, 1979. In his invention, a permanent magnet armature is magnetically propelled along a guided path by interaction with the field within a flux zone limited on either side of the path by an arrangement of permanent stator magnets. A prototype was presented in an 1980 article in "Science & Mechanics".[4] The device was supposed to generate motion, either rotary or linear, from nothing but permanent magnets in rotor as well as stator, acting against each other.
