Abstract
A magnetic motor comprises a plurality of electromagnets connected to an excitation circuit, and a rotor assembly having a plurality of permanent magnets around its periphery and arranged for angular movement. The permanent magnets are movable between the respective adjacent electromagnets. The electromagnets are selectively excitated through the excitation circuit for being magnetized to have the same pole as the pole of a respective one of the permanent magnets disposed closely adjacent to them whereby the rotor assembly is caused to angularly move under the influence of magnetic repulsive forces exerted between the respective closely adjacent electromagnets and permanent magnets.
Claims10
A magnetic motor which comprises:
- (a) a housing having a shaft extending therethrough at its center;
- (b) a rotor assembly having a plurality of permanent magnets around its periphery in equally spaced relation, said rotor assembly being mounted on said shaft within said housing for angular movement about said shaft between fully clockwise and counterclockwise-rotated positions;
- (c) a plurality of electromagnets mounted on said housing around its circumference in equally spaced relation, said plurality of permanent magnets being movable between the respective adjacent electromagnets, said electromagnets being electrically connected to an excitation circuit, and said electromagnets being selectively excited through said excitation circuit for being magnetized to have the same magnetic pole as the pole of a respective one of said permanent magnets disposed closely adjacent to them whereby said rotor assembly is caused to angularly move under the influence of magnetic repulsive forces exerted between the respective closely adjacent electromagnets and permanent magnets;
- (d) an output means operatively associated with said housing for rotation about an axis thereof;
- and
- (e) a transmission mechanism operatively connected between said rotor assembly and said output means for converting the angular movement of said rotor assembly into continuous rotation of said output means.
