Electric dynamotor

A dynamo-electric machine comprising in combination:

• a rotatable motive hub having an axial shaft of rotation attached thereto;
• a rotor movably encircling said hub, with said rotor including a plurality of permanent magnets arranged about the rotor with like poles adjacent each other;
• a plurality of motive coils coupled in sequential registration about said motive hub such that when each is energized one pole of the induced magnetic field will produce attractive forces toward one of said permanent magnets while the opposite pole of the induced magnetic field will produce repulsion forces from said like pole of an adjacent one of said permanent magnets;
• commutator means operatively interposed between a source of electrical energy and said motive coils for periodically
• energizing selected ones of said motive coils in proper polarity;
• and
• a plurality of generator coils operatively juxtaposed adjacent said permanent magnets of said rotor for cutting the magnetic lines of flux emanating therefrom so as to generate an induced voltage at an output thereof responsive to the relative motion between said generator coils and said permanent magnets.

An electric dynamotor machine comprising in combination:

• a longitudinally movable shaft having a plurality of magnets coupled thereto so as to be arranged with like poles adjacent each other and spaced apart by a plurality of spacers of soft magnetic material interposed therebetween;
• a plurality of motive coils defining a void therein, with said coils being juxtaposed with said magnets such that said magnets reciprocate through said void therein;
• commutator means operatively coupled between a source of electrical energy and said motive coils for periodically energizing selected ones of said motive coils in proper polarity so as to cause said magnets and said shaft to reciprocate through said void in said motive coils;
• and
• a plurality of generator coils operatively juxtaposed with said magnets for cutting the magnetic lines of flux emanating from said magnets so as to generate an induced voltage and an output thereof responsive to relative motion between said generator coils and said permanent magent.
