Electro-mechanical Reciprocating Magnetic Piston Engine

摘要

An electrical engine using a magnetic piston is disclosed. The magnetic piston is contained in a housing which has a passage through which the magnetic piston can freely reciprocate between opposite first and second ends. Electromagnets are mounted adjacent the ends of the passage, the electromagnets configured to generate a repulsive magnetic force onto the magnetic piston when activated. An electrical switch coupling each electromagnet to an electrical current source for activating the electromagnets, the electrical switches being positioned at the ends of the passage adjacent the electromagnets. The electrical switches configured to activate the electromagnets when the magnetic piston is positioned adjacent the switches.

主权项

1. An electric engine comprising:
a. A magnetic piston having opposite north and south polls formed on opposite ends, the magnetic piston slidingly received in an elongated passage formed in a housing, the elongated passage having opposite first and second ends, the elongated housing configured to permit the magnetic piston to reciprocate between first and second positions corresponding to the first and second ends of the elongated passage, respectively; b. A first electromagnet positioned in the housing immediately adjacent the first end of the passage, the first electromagnet configured to generate a north magnetic pole oriented towards the first end of the passage when the first electromagnet is activated; c. A second electromagnet positioned in the housing immediately adjacent the second end of the passage, the second electromagnet configured to generate a south magnetic pole oriented towards the second end of the passage when the second electromagnet is activated: d. An electric current source for providing an electric current sufficient to activate the first and second electromagnets, and e. First and second switches coupled between the electric current source and the first and second electromagnets, respectively, the first and second switches being mounted to the housing adjacent the first and second ends of the passage such that the first and second switches contact the magnetic piston when the magnetic piston is in its first and second position, respectively, each of the first and second switches configured to close only upon contact with the magnetic piston, the first and second switches immediately opening when the magnetic piston is no longer in contact.
