Abstract
A magnetic torque converter comprising a platform configured to rotate about an axis, the axis being oriented perpendicular to gravity; at least one riser coupled to the platform; at least one riser permanent magnet coupled to the at least one riser; a lifting cap supporting at least one lifting rod; a lifting rod permanent magnet coupled to the at least one lifting rod opposite the lifting cap, the lifting rod permanent magnet is configured to levitate along the at least one riser proximate the at least one riser permanent magnet through magnetic field repulsion, wherein the at least one riser permanent magnet comprises a magnetic pole opposite the lifting rod permanent magnet; and a connecting rod coupled to the lifting cap opposite the at least one lifting rod.

A magnetic torque converter comprising:
- a platform configured to rotate about an axis, said axis being oriented perpendicular to gravity;
- at least one riser coupled to said platform;
- at least one riser permanent magnet coupled to said at least one riser;
- a lifting cap supporting at least one lifting rod;
- a lifting rod permanent magnet coupled to said at least one lifting rod opposite said lifting cap, said lifting rod permanent magnet is configured to levitate along said at least one riser proximate said at least one riser permanent magnet through magnetic field repulsion, wherein said at least one riser permanent magnet comprises a magnetic pole opposite said lifting rod permanent magnet;
- and
- a connecting rod coupled to the lifting cap opposite the at least one lifting rod.
A magnetic torque converter comprising:
- a platform configured to rotate about an axis, said axis being oriented perpendicular to gravity;
- at least one riser coupled to said platform, said at least one riser forming a slanted blade relative to said platform;
- at least one riser permanent magnet coupled to said at least one riser, said at least one riser permanent magnet forming a riser permanent magnet magnetic field;
- at least one lifting rod;
- a lifting rod permanent magnet coupled to said at least one lifting rod, said lifting rod permanent magnet forming a lifting rod permanent magnet magnetic field, said lifting rod permanent magnet is configured to levitate above said at least one riser proximate said at least one riser permanent magnet through magnetic field repulsion responsive to said at least one riser moving under said lifting rod, wherein said at least one riser permanent magnet comprises a magnetic pole opposite said lifting rod permanent magnet;
- a support frame attached to at least one lifting rod assembly, each of said at least one lifting rod assembly configured to support each of said at least one lifting rod;
- an external power source coupled to said platform, said external power source configured to rotate the platform about the axis;
- and
- a connecting rod coupled to the lifting cap opposite the at least one lifting rod.
A process for converting torque enhanced by magnetic levitation comprising:
- rotating a platform about an axis, said axis being oriented perpendicular to gravity, a power source coupled to said platform, said platform including at least one riser coupled to said platform, said at least one riser forming a slanted blade relative to said platform;
- at least one riser permanent magnet coupled to said at least one riser, said at least one riser permanent magnet forming a riser permanent magnet magnetic field;
- lifting at least one lifting rod having a lifting rod permanent magnet coupled to said at least one lifting rod, said lifting rod permanent magnet having a lifting rod permanent magnet magnetic field;
- levitating said lifting rod permanent magnet above said at least one riser proximate said at least one riser permanent magnet through magnetic field repulsion responsive to said at least one riser moving under said lifting rod, wherein said at least one riser permanent magnet comprises a magnetic pole opposite said lifting rod permanent magnet;
- dropping said at least one lifting rod by the force of gravity responsive to said lifting rod permanent magnet moving past said at least one riser permanent magnet;
- and
- translating a connecting rod coupled to said lifting rod responsive to said lifting rod levitating and dropping.
