Abstract
A reciprocating engine has at least one cylinder forming an inner chamber, at least one piston reciprocatingly movable in the inner chamber of the at least one cylinder, a unit for converting a reciprocating movement of the piston to move an outside object, a unit for reciprocatingly moving the at least one piston in the at least one cylinder the reciprocatingly moving unit including magnet elements with at least one electromagnet connected with the cylinder and at least another electromagnet connected with the piston, so that when a polarity of the magnet elements is changed, a magnetic interaction of the electromagnets with one another causes the reciprocating movement of the piston.
Claims10
A reciprocating engine, comprising at least one cylinder forming an inner chamber;
- at least one piston reciprocatingly movable in said inner chamber of said at least one cylinder;
- means for converting a reciprocating movement of said at least one piston to move an outside object;
- means for reciprocatingly moving said at least one piston in said at least one cylinder, said reciprocatingly moving means including magnet means with at least one electromagnet connected with said cylinder and at least another electromagnet connected with said piston, so that when a polarity of said magnet means is changed, a magnetic interaction of said electromagnets with one another causes said reciprocating movement of said piston;
- and means for allowing air to move out of said cylinder when air is displaced by said reciprocating movement of said piston in front of said piston and to move air into said at least one cylinder behind said piston.
