Hi Smudge,
I always thought this was an interesting experiment to replicate. Marinov was certifiable, but he occasionally had a good idea..

Hi Orthofield The subtlety of Marinov's motor is that the conductors do not bathe in the magnetic field and yet, a force is exerted, which can no longer be defined as Lorentz's force. However, the weakness of the effect leads me to believe that it is of the second order, or non-existent if it is only an experimental artifact as claimed by some physicists who have refuted this motor. In any case I think that we should be able to find a first-order effect, i. e. where the force depends on B, but always with B=0 in the volume of the conductors, in the same way as B=0 at the secondary winding of a transformer, the field being confined in the magnetic core. In this case, the natural explanation would be the vector potential A. At my knowledge, there is no motor using A instead of B, while it is very common with induction. This would be a novelty to use A for a mechanical effect.
