Abstract
An electromagnetic rotary motor is an apparatus used to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy. The apparatus is also configured to utilize minimal electrical power input due to the arrangement of components and the cycle for energy conversion. The apparatus includes a drive shaft, an input terminal, an annular housing, a plurality of brushes, and a plurality of electromagnetic (EM) mechanisms. The drive shaft is a cylindrical extrusion that rotates about its axis. The input terminal is a connector which provides electrical potential to the plurality of brushes through the drive shaft. The annular housing is a ring-shaped enclosure that protects the components of the apparatus. The plurality of EM mechanisms is a set of electrical components that react to the influence of the plurality of brushes.
