Daniel,
Thanks for the post. There's a lot to chew on, and I'll be reading it quite a few times. The quote from Inquorate and link to Tesla writings were helpful as well. You mentioned:
I'm assuming you're referring to the use of magnetos in early automobiles here. The Henry Ford story comes to mind. For those unfamiliar, it seems that HF had John Worrell Keely design a flywheel which would enable his Model Ts to run without gas, with the insertion of cow bell magnets (into specially set slots on the flywheel). The story goes that this was Ford's insurance against big oil, which was allegedly trying to shut down his automobile business. See:
Model T Magnetic Modification
Perhaps this story, despite its many naysayers, has its merits.
Interesting that Joe of Joe-Cell fame has noted the role of magnetos in early army vehicles (jeeps, I think) in his discussions on splitting the positive in cars powered by joe cells.
Again, thanks for the post - most helpful.

The answer has been right before our eyes for as long as magnets have been used to generate electricity, and the very first internal combustion engines were ignited using this technology, and led to the idea of cars, bikes, traction engines, etc. being "alive" with a personality of their own, (I believe).
