Claims15
A high-torque electric motor comprising:
- a cylindrical shaft;
- two bearings at the top and bottom end of said cylindrical shaft;
- at least one magnet unit coupled to said cylindrical shaft;
- a flywheel attached substantially perpendicularly and concentric to said shaft;
- electrical coils with electrical leads wrapped around the core of said electromagnet;
- a power supply source for electrical potential in an electrical circuit connected by said electrical leads to said electrical coils;
- at least one housing electromagnet having the shape of a circular disc with a plurality of mounting locations on said housing electromagnet;
- a circular cut out in the middle of said housing electromagnet wherein said cylindrical shaft electromagnet, and electrical coils are mounted in said cutout of said housing electromagnet and mounted to said housing electromagnet with said mounting flange, said electric leads connected to said electromagnet, and said electric circuit from said power supply operable by coil current which induces a magnetic field across said shaft magnets and said housing magnets with opposite or same polarities on said shaft magnets to accelerate the rotational movement of said cylindrical shaft about an axis and to produce torque.
The high torque motor of claim 5, wherein a plurality of threaded rods for insertion through said through holes of said permanent magnet wherein a second electromagnet connected to said cylindrical shaft, and a second permanent magnet with through holes are assembled to said first permanent magnet with said threaded rod, and bolted in.
A multi-stage high-torque electric motor comprising:
- stage 1 having a cylindrical shaft;
- two bearings at the top and bottom end of said cylindrical shaft;
- at least one electromagnet/permanent magnet/iron connected to the middle of said cylindrical shaft;
- a flywheel attached substantially perpendicular and concentric to said shaft;
- electrical coils with electrical leads wrapped around the core of said electromagnet;
- a power supply source for electrical potential in an electrical circuit connected by said electrical leads to said electrical coils;
- at least one housing electromagnet having the shape of a circular disc with a plurality of/mounting locations on said housing electromagnet;
- a circular cut out in the middle of said housing electromagnet;
- electrical coils with electrical leads wrapped around the core of said electromagnet;
- a power supply source for electrical potential in an electrical circuit connected by said electrical leads to said electrical coils;
- a circular cut out in the middle of said housing electromagnet wherein said cylindrical shaft electromagnet, and electrical coils are mounted in said cutout of said housing electromagnet and mounted to said housing electromagnet with said mounting flange, said electric leads connected to said electromagnet, and said electric circuit from said power supply operable by coil current which induces a magnetic field across said shaft electromagnets/permanent magnets/iron, and said housing electromagnets with opposite or same polarities on said shaft electromagnet/permanent magnet/iron to accelerate the rotational movement of said cylindrical shaft about an axis and to produce torque;
- wherein when the motor is at operating speed stage, said Stage 1 will be de-energized. and a closed loop leveraging motor will continue to operate and produce electricity until the system is selected to an off position, and said Stage 2 will stage will continue to produce electricity with no outside power source when the system is operating and selected to the on position.
The high torque motor of claim 9, wherein a plurality of threaded rods for insertion through said through holes of said permanent magnet wherein a second electromagnet connected to said cylindrical shaft, and a second permanent magnet with through holes are assembled to said first permanent magnet with said threaded rod, and bolted in.
