Abstract
A device for generating a movement is provided. The device has at least one magnet and a material that is arranged in the proximity of the magnet or in the magnet. The magnet exerts an attractive force on the material. The attractive force of the magnet is weakened by thermal action on at least one region of the material. The material is preferably not in superconductive state during the thermal action. Preferably, the material also has paramagnetic properties prior to the thermal action but diamagnetic properties after the thermal action. Also preferably, the device generates a circular movement.
Claims26
A device for generating a movement comprising:
- an annular shaped material with openings for passing through a thermal energy carrier;
- at least one magnet in the form of at least one yoke that exerts an attractive force on the material, wherein the material is arranged in proximity to the magnet or in the magnet, wherein the attractive force between the at least one magnet and the material is weakened by thermal action on at least one region of the material, and wherein the material is in a non-superconductive state during the thermal action;
- a first temperature control for changing a temperature of the material, wherein the first temperature control is arranged in the magnet or in the proximity thereof;
- and
- a plurality of nozzles arranged at a rear side of the magnet, wherein the material has lateral openings forming passages in an interior of the material, and the thermal energy carrier is introduced into the passages by the nozzles.
