Hendershot today stated there was nothing mysterious about  his motor, that the force that energizes it is the &#8220;same force that  pulls the needle of the compass, and there is nothing mysterious about  that&#8221;.<br><br>The fuelless motor was not his objective, he explained, at  the time he began his experiments some three years ago, when he first  became interested in aviation.<br><br>&#8220;I soon learned that the ultimate  development of aviation depended upon the discovery or invention of an  absolutely true and reliable compass&#8221;, he explained. &#8220;The ordinary  magnetic compass does not point to the true north &#8212; it points to the  magnetic north, and varies from the true north to a different extent at  almost every point on the earth\u2019s surface.<br><br>&#8220;There is another  compass, the magnetic induction compass, that indicates true north. But  it must be set before each flight, and is not always reliable.<br><br>&#8220;I  found that with a pre-magnetized core I could set up a magnetic field  that would indicate true north, but I didn\u2019t know just how to utilize  that in the compass I set out to find.<br><br>&#8220;In continuing my  experiments, I learned that by cutting the same line of magnetic force  north and south, I had an indicator of the true north, and that by  cutting the magnetic field east and west, I could develop a rotary  motion.<br><br>I now have a motor built on that principle that will  rotate at a constant speed, a speed predetermined when the motor is  built. It can be built for any desired speed, and a reliable constant  speed motor is one of the greatest needs of aviation.<br><br>The main  secret of The Hendershot Motor his Friend Barr Peat declares, is  the method of winding a magnet in the motor so that it will rotate in  the opposite direction than the earth revolves. He says there is no  heat, because magnetic forces are cold and the motor is stopped only by  breaking the magnetic field in the windings. The magnet in the motor, he  thinks, probably would have to be recharged after about 2000 hours of  operation.<br><br>Mr. Hendershot declares that one of his motors,  complete and ready to be installed in an airplane would weigh little  more than four ounces for every horsepower it developed, while the best  of the gas engines now built weighs about two pounds per horsepower.<br><br>Mr.  Hendershot says that altitude would not affect the efficient operation  of his motor, for the magnetic influence of the earth has been found to  remain the same as high as man has ever reached.<br><br>He said that the  same principle which made his original model operate only when it was  placed in one direction, north and south, will be developed so that it  will provide a compass that will always indicate true north.<\/em><br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lester Hendershot The Hendershot Motor, a device that would draw usable energy from the ethers and convert it to electricity, developed by Lester Hendershot is one of the enduring mysteries of Free Energy.
