Abstract
A magnetic system and related method for generating energy is described. Multiple embodiments are described having different shapes, alternative designs to receive different driving forces, varied magnetic structures, and so forth. In an example implementation, a magnetic structure may include on a single side multiple magnetic sources having different magnetic polarities. Other description herein may be directed to magnetizer printing, adaptable/adjustable correlated magnet devices, entertainment devices having correlated magnet technology, and so forth. Furthermore, description of additional magnet-related technology and example implementations thereof is included herein.
Claims20
An electrical energy generation apparatus comprising:
- a first structure including multiple magnetic sources disposed on a first side of the first structure, the multiple magnetic sources including at least one first magnetic source having a first polarity and at least one second magnetic source having a second polarity, the multiple magnetic sources to produce one or more magnetic fields, the first polarity differing from the second polarity;
- and
- a second structure including at least one coil, the second structure configured to enable the at least one coil to be positioned at least partially within the one or more magnetic fields,
- wherein at least one of the multiple magnetic sources of the first structure or the at least one coil of the second structure is capable of movement relative to the other responsive to a force.
A method comprising:
- forming a magnetic structure that includes multiple magnetic sources having different polarities disposed on a single side of the magnetic structure, the multiple magnetic sources arranged in a pattern and to produce one or more magnetic fields;
- providing at least one conductive coil that is capable of interacting with the one or more magnetic fields;
- and
- constructing an apparatus that enables the magnetized structure and the at least one conductive coil to move relative to each other such that the at least one conductive coil is to interact with the one or more magnetic fields based at least partly on a relative movement of the at least one conductive coil and the magnetized structure.
A method comprising:
- ascertaining a targeted set of magnetic characteristics;
- formulating a coded magnet configuration responsive at least partly to the targeted set of magnetic characteristics, the coded magnet configuration including at least two adjacent magnetic field sources having opposite polarities;
- modeling magnetic field properties for the coded magnet configuration based, at least in part, on a shortest path effect exhibited with respect to the at least two adjacent magnetic field sources having the opposite polarities;
- and
- building a coded magnetic structure based, at least in part, on the coded magnet configuration and said modeling.
