Scam Opinion by Open4Energy
I assume you have reached this page because you care about energy. I really encourage you to take the energy you would have wasted on this scam, and to do something really constructive with it instead.

Please register on our site and write up one energy saving activity you have done; Please find one way to help another person you know save electricity. The Internet is encouraging us to become anonomously selfish. I would be no friend if I did not remind you to give of your energy, as well as to save it.

The "HoJo Motor or Howard Johnson Motor or JohnsonMotor" scam is a derivative of the original "Magniwork Perpetual Motion" scam. The principle behind the scam is the provision of plans showing you how to use magnets to build a perpetual motion system to generate electricity. We hope that the idea you can get energy for FREE, the outlandish claims of 25% to 50% saving, and the recognizable marketing format used by these scam artists will have alerted  you. These plans, twisting the truth of others hard work, are a nasty effort to part you from your hard earned cash.

Please do not underestimate the seriousness of these scams. You may be able to afford losing the $47.50 that the scam takes from you. But, we cannot afford the cumulative affect of where this money is going, and how it is being used. Please do not allow your money to be used to fund organized crime!

Howard Johnson dedicated his life to exploring the energy produced by magnetic fields. We have linked this page to the 3 patents we found in his name, filed with the US patent office, so that you can have FREE access to his original claims. We do encourage you to disregard these scam plans, so abusing his good name.  

Hank Mills wrote a great “Letter to Hojo Motor Plan Scammers” in which he stated:

Howard Johnson was a brilliant inventor. You got that one fact correct. However, his technologies were never fully developed, and were still very experimental when he died. Even if he was able to create motion in an experimental test rig (after hundreds or thousands of hours of work), it was not ready to power a home, an appliance, or even a very light load like a light bulb. The idea that someone could take plans for his device, and build a system capable of powering their home, is totally absurd. Unless of course, they had tens of thousands of dollars to spend, months to experiment just to make a motor self-sustain, and even more time and money to do the research and development needed to do anything practical with it.

My appreciation to Chris at MapaWatt who provided us with the patent #'s filed by Howard Johnston. We have included the abstract for each patent below, and posted a link to the original patent filed with the US patent Office.  He has written an excellent article explaining why perpetual motion free energy machines can not work.

US Patent #4,151,431 - Johnson; Howard R. Filed 1973 - Issued 1979 - Expired 2009
Abstract: The invention is directed to the method of utilizing the unpaired electron spins in ferro magnetic and other materials as a source of magnetic fields for producing power without any electron flow as occurs in normal conductors, and to permanent magnet motors for utilizing this method to produce a power source. In the practice of the invention the unpaired electron spins occurring within permanent magnets are utilized to produce a motive power source solely through the superconducting characteristics of a permanent magnet and the magnetic flux created by the magnets are controlled and concentrated to orient the magnetic forces generated in such a manner to do useful continuous work, such as the displacement of a rotor with respect to a stator. The timing and orientation of magnetic forces at the rotor and stator components produced by permanent magnets to produce a motor is accomplished with the proper geometrical relationship of these components.

US Patent #4,877,983 Johnson; Howard R. Filed 1985 - Issued 1989
Abstract: 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.

US Patent #5,402,021 Johnson; Howard R. Filed 1993 - Issued 1995
Abstract: A magnetic propulsion system including a plurality of specifically arranged permanent magnets and a magnetic vehicle propelled thereby along a path defined by the permanent magnets. The magnetic vehicle which is to be propelled includes a rigidly attached armature comprising several curved magnets. The propulsion system further includes two parallel walls of permanent magnets arranged so as to define the lateral sides of a vehicle path. Preferably, the walls are identical to one another except that the polarities of the magnets which define one wall are opposite from the polarities of the corresponding magnets in the opposite wall. A first wall, for example, includes a series of generally rectangular magnets, each magnet arranged with a North-to-South axis pointing longitudinally down the wall in the intended direction of vehicle travel. Each of the rectangular magnets is separated from the next successive rectangular magnet by a thinner magnet, which thinner magnet is arranged with its North-to-South axis pointing laterally toward the opposite wall and therefore perpendicular with respect to the North-to-South axis of the rectangular magnets. The opposite (or second) wall includes the same general arrangement of magnets, except that the North-to-South axis for each of the generally rectangular magnets is in a direction opposite from the direction of vehicle travel and the North-to-South axis of the thinner magnets points away from the first wall. In addition, the propulsion system includes several spin accelerators.
