Under the right circumstances, a permanent magnet can be induced to fire a force hundreds of times its base magnetic strength. Howard Johnson spent his entire life researching this phenomenon, which, when constructed with the correct geometry, can create a permanent self-powering magnetic motor. After World War II, Howard was offered the job of being Head of Cryptology for the entire U.S. Navy, but turned it down to return to civilian life. Many of Howard's Patents remain classified to this day.

In this episode we tour his laboratory, and Howard demonstrates his magnetic gates and tells his story.
