Two motors, diagrammed in the text, are proposed that are driven
solely by Ampère repulsion between colinear current elements.
Motor one involves sliding contacts with all current
leads doubled with current in opposite directions, thereby
precluding the presence of any magnetic field and forces
transverse to the current flow. Motor two involves
mercury contacts that minimize friction and optimize current
flow. Forces transverse to the current flow do no work; so only
Ampère repulsion exists to drive motor two. These motors
can demonstrate unambiguously the existence and magnitude of the
Ampère repulsion, which then also demonstrates the failure of the
Biot-Savart and Lorentz force laws, “Lorentz covariance”, and
special relativity.
