Abstract
The magnetic drive system includes a motor and associated motor shaft and a motor assembly, the motor assembly including an electronically conductive cylinder. A machine assembly for driving a machine includes a permanent magnet assembly. The motor assembly and the machine assembly are arranged and supported relative to each other so that the permanent magnet assembly and the electrically conductive cylinder are in longitudinal juxtaposition so that rotation of the motor shaft results in rotation of the machine shaft through magnetic action.
Claims6
A magnetic drive differential system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a driving assembly, driven by a vehicle motor which is connected to a motor shaft, which includes two electrically conductive cylinders, each having a selected length;
- and
- a coupling structure which includes first and second ring-shaped assemblies of permanent magnets operating independently of each other, in association, respectively, with the two electrically conductive cylinders, the coupling structure further including first and second axle shafts to which the permanent magnet assemblies, respectively, are mounted, such that rotation of the motor shaft results in independent rotation of the axle shafts, wherein vehicle wheels are mounted at the free ends of each axle shaft, the vehicle wheels thus operating independently of each other in response to motor action.
A magnetic drive differential system for a vehicle, comprising:
- a driving assembly, driven by a vehicle motor, wherein the driving assembly includes first and second pairs of concentric permanent magnet ring-shaped assemblies with a defined space between them;
- and
- a machine assembly, including first and second axle members having vehicle wheels mounted thereon, each axle member including a mounting element having an electrically conductive cylinder extending therefrom, each electrically conductive cylinder configured, respectively, to fit between and come into a magnetic relationship with one pair of permanent magnetic assemblies, wherein actuation of the driving assembly by the vehicle motor results in driving of the vehicle wheels.
