<p>Improved energy conversion devices comprise a first magnet, a second magnet oriented such that similar poles of the first magnet and the second magnet can be positioned proximate each other, and a mechanical element connected to the first magnet such that movement of the first magnet can actuate the mechanical element to provide mechanical work. In some embodiments, the energy conversion devices can further comprise a ferromagnetic element that can be selectively interposed between the first magnet and the second magnet, which can facilitate movement of the first and second magnets towards the ferromagnetic element. Due to the orientation of the first and second magnets, and the associated mechanical element, the repulsive force between the first and second magnets can be converted into mechanical work.</p> |
