Abstract
A system comprises a hollow body forming a closed loop channel; one or more electromagnetic coils on the hollow body; a free-moving magnetic object in the channel; and a control system configured to control the one or more electromagnetic coils to cause the free-moving magnetic object to rotate within the channel during an acceleration phase and to cause one or more magnetic collisions with at least one of the one or more electromagnetic coils during an energy transfer phase, the one or more magnetic collisions causing a directional movement of the system.
Claims19
A system, comprising:
- a hollow body forming a closed loop channel;
- one or more electromagnetic coils on the hollow body;
- a free-moving magnetic object in the closed loop channel;
- and
- a control system configured to control the one or more electromagnetic coils to cause the free-moving magnetic object to rotate within the closed loop channel during an acceleration phase, the control system configured to control an interacting electromagnetic coil of the one or more electromagnetic coils during the acceleration phase to attract the free-moving magnetic object as the free-moving magnetic object is approaching the interacting electromagnetic coil and/or to repel the free-moving magnetic object as the free-moving magnetic object is departing the interacting electromagnetic coil, the control system further configured to cause one or more magnetic collisions with at least one of the one or more electromagnetic coils during an energy transfer phase, the one or more magnetic collisions causing a directional movement of the system.

A vehicle, comprising:
- a first system, including:
- a first hollow body forming a first closed loop channel;
- one or more first electromagnetic coils on the first hollow body;
- and
- a first free-moving magnetic object in the first closed loop channel;
- a second system including:
- a second hollow body forming a second closed loop channel;
- one or more second electromagnetic coils on the second hollow body;
- and
- a second free-moving magnetic object in the closed loop second channel;
- and
- a control system configured to control the one or more first electromagnetic coils to cause the first free-moving magnetic object to rotate within the first closed loop channel during a first acceleration phase and to cause one or more first magnetic collisions with at least one of the one or more first electromagnetic coils during a first energy transfer phase, the one or more first magnetic collisions causing a first directional movement, the control system further configured to control the one or more second electromagnetic coils to cause the second free-moving magnetic object to rotate within the second closed loop channel during a second acceleration phase and to cause one or more second magnetic collisions with at least one of the one or more second electromagnetic coils during a second energy transfer phase, the one or more second magnetic collisions causing a second directional movement, vehicle movement being based on the first directional movement and the second directional movement.
