Abstract
A hydraulic-magnetic engine includes a two-stage piston having a middle section and a piston plunger, and a chamber with two separate chambers, a piston chamber and a piston plunger chamber containing fluid throughout. The cross-sectional area of the middle section is greater than the cross-sectional area of the piston plunger. The piston is magnetically propelled up and down and in the process fluid is transferred and exchanged between the two chambers and a hydraulic compensator. The reciprocal motion of the piston is activated and sustained by alternating magnetic attraction and repulsion between the piston and the chamber, while the engine power output is amplified by the hydraulic activity.

A hydraulic-magnetic engine comprising:
- a chamber having a piston chamber and a plunger chamber, wherein the piston chamber comprises a proximal chamber, and a distal chamber;
- a piston slidably engaged and partially within the chamber, the piston including a piston rod, a middle section, and a piston plunger, wherein the piston rod is partially protruding from the piston chamber;
- at least one electromagnet fixed to the chamber;
- at least one permanent magnet fixed to the piston and within an electromagnetic field of the at least one electromagnet;
- a fluid contained within the chamber;
- a piston position sensor in electrical communication with the at least one electromagnet;
- and
- a hydraulic compensator in fluid communication with the piston chamber and the plunger chamber, the hydraulic compensator further comprising a compensator piston, the compensator piston further comprising a lock in electrical communication with the piston position sensor.
A method of using a hydraulic-magnetic engine, the method comprising:
- moving the hydraulic-magnetic engine into a first position, wherein the hydraulic-magnetic engine comprises,
- a chamber having a piston chamber and a plunger chamber, wherein the piston chamber comprises a proximal chamber, and a distal chamber;
- a piston slidably engaged partially within the chamber, the piston comprising a piston rod, a middle section, and a piston plunger, wherein the piston rod is partially protruding from the piston chamber;
- at least one electromagnet fixed to the chamber;
- at least one permanent magnet fixed to the piston and within an electromagnetic field of the at least one electromagnet;
- a fluid contained within the chamber;

- and
- creating an attraction within a distal magnetic field wherein the distal magnetic field comprises at least one distal electromagnet positioned within the distal chamber and at least one permanent distal magnet located on the middle section, and creating a repulsion between a plunger magnetic field wherein the plunger magnetic field comprises at least one plunger electromagnet located within the plunger chamber, and at least one plunger permanent magnet located on the piston plunger.
A method of using a hydraulic-magnetic engine, the method comprising:

- and
- reversing a current to the at least one electromagnet to change a polarity of the at least one electromagnet, wherein changing the polarity induces the piston to move to a second position wherein the middle section is contained mostly within the distal chamber, and the fluid is mostly contained within the plunger chamber, the hydraulic compensator, and the hydraulic line.
