<p>The present invention comprises correlated magnet actuators, devices incorporating said actuators, and methods of use thereof. The actuators utilize magnetic drives comprising a pair of complimentary correlated permanent magnet pairs, arranged in a separable and opposing fashion. The attractive or repulsive force of each correlated magnet pair drops significantly after only a few degrees of rotation off of a prime attractive or repulsive rotational alignment, allowing the magnets to be binarily manipulated between a correlated and decorrelated alignment. The linear motion resulting from the periodic coupling and decoupling of the magnetic pair can be translated to supporting conveyance structures to produce rotary (torque) output work. This output work can be harnessed to drive secondary utilization components such as a generator or a pump, or other devices dependent on rotary work output for their operation.</p> |
