Strange engine concept that appears in a book by Glenn Angle. Its inventor Lester Hendershott published it around 1927 and 1928, causing expectation for it.

-It is said that he used earth magnetic force lines in combinations to create rotating movements in windings. It was called "fuelless" engine.

 From Appendix 6: More information has been obtained about this mysterious engine that takes advantage of the Earth's magnetic field.

-The inventor of this system was called Lester J. Hendershot and whose engine he called "fuelless engine".

-The heart (core) of the motor are magnets with their windings that capture the earth's magnetization.

-According to him, the motor operates with the same forces that move the needles of a compass.

-A more detailed description is that if you cut magnetic force lines from north to south there is a fixed indication to the north, but if they are cut from east to west, a rotating movement is developed.

-This was demonstrated in the execution of a demo engine, although there is no known apparatus that used it in practice.

-He was not the only one with this idea. In Germany -Bavaria- there were the scientists Frederich Brandhuber and A. Altschaefl, and in the USA, R.W. Hochstetter from Pittsburg.
