Abstract
A magnetic energy system including a pathway having inclined portions of the pathway contiguous with declined portions of the pathway and an object adapted to move on the pathway by descending a declined portion of the pathway under the influence of gravity and ascending the contiguous inclined portion of the pathway under the combined influence of kinetic energy and a magnetic flux field interaction with release of the object from the magnetic flux field interaction at a pathway height equal to or greater than the initial height of the object on the preceding declined portion of the pathway.
Claims14
An apparatus, comprising:
- a support having a pathway including inclined portions contiguous with corresponding declined portions, each of said inclined portions of said pathway joins one said declined portions of said pathway at an apex of said pathway, each of said declined portions joins one of said inclined portions at a trough of said pathway, said pathway having a pathway step height determined by an apex height less the preceding adjacent trough height, said pathway having a plurality of apexes and a plurality of troughs, wherein said trough height and said apex height increases over said pathway;
- an object adapted to move along said pathway of said support;
- and
- a magnetic flux field interaction with said object along a portion of said pathway,
- said object overcoming outside forces associated with said object moving on said inclined portion of said pathway of said support by interaction with said magnetic flux field along said inclined portion of said pathway,
- said object accelerating due to force of gravity on said declined portion of said pathway.
