The motor is operated elect ro-mag-netically without fuel, and is capable of going 3000 hours ■ before being re--1 charged. It is said to be based on a ..new, system of winding a magnet on j the electromagnetism principal. The ' magneto picks up earth current while i, the motor is in operation and is said to have made 1800 revolutions a minute, i The question is being raised whether i the range of the motor’s current is j sufficiently powerful to operate a large ! horse-power engine.
