N, N are two magnets, which, attracting the rimof the wheel, will render one side lighter and theother heavier, causing it to revolve ad infinitum:or, to render it more powerful, let the steel rimsbe magnetized, and fixed on the wheel with theirnorth poles toward its center. Let two moremagnets be added, as shown by the unshadedlines; let these two, S, S, be placed with theirsouth poles nearest the rim of the w^heel, andthe other two, N, N, with their north poles in that position. Now,as similar poles repel and opposite poles attract, the wheel will bedriven round by attraction and repulsion acting conjointly on fourpoints of its circumference. B, B are blocks of wood to keep off theattraction of the magnets from that part of the wheel which has passedthem. No substance yet found that interrupts the magnetic 965.

E and F are two brass wheels, similar andequal, fixed upon a movable axis. I, 2, 3, etc., are a number of artificial mag-nets placed within the teeth of the wheelall round, and as near each other as is pos-sible, provided they do hot touch; their north~~ poles at E and their south poles at F.
