dear neal young, while reading your biography
fortunately i read and heard about the possibility to construct high efficient electric motors. prof. dr. claus turtur is a german physicist, who teaches at university of wolfenbüttel. he theoretically proofed, that it is possible to construct high efficient motors, who need extrem low energy input. i am no physicist - only a painter and drummer - but this concept seems to be convincingly. after his statement, there exist over the world some indipendently constructed prototypes, which were certificated by technical eximination tests. claus turturs website gives a lot of theoretical information to his work.
