Abstract
A magnetic field is generated by a magnetic field that is rotated axially. A second magnet spins in response to the rotating magnetic field generated by the axial rotation of the first magnetic field. The second magnet is remote from and is not physically connected to the first magnetic field. The spin or rotation of the second magnet is responsive to the rotation of the first magnetic field by the interaction of the respective magnetic fields.
Claims17
A device for remotely spinning a magnet, comprising:
- a) a first magnetic field produced by a first magnet that is rotated axially;
- and
- b) a spinning remote magnet that that is positioned remotely from said first magnet and is positioned within the first magnetic field produced by the first magnet, wherein the spinning remote magnet spins about an axis of rotation of the spinning remote magnet in response to the axial rotation of the first magnet, and wherein the spinning remote magnet is held in free standing balance on its axis by the magnetic field produced by the first magnet as the spinning remote magnet spins about its axis on a surface, and the spinning remote magnet is held in position remotely and is held away from the first magnet by the axial rotation of the first magnet and the first magnetic field produced by axially rotating the first magnet and by the axial rotation of the spinning remote magnet.
