Apparatus and method for propelling a body by means of the repulsion of two magnetic fields. A fixed electromagnet (1) is attached to a base (5) through a connection column (11). A moveable magnet (2, 19, 18, 16) is forced to the end of a respective cylindrical tube (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) by means of centrifugal force. In the illustrated system, the tubular structure (6) is rotating and the electromagnets are retained at the end of the tubes by retainers (2). As a moving electromagnet comes into alignment with the fixed electromagnet (1), they are both energised at the same time creating magnetic fields (3) and (4), and the force induced on electromagnet (1) pushes the base (5) in a forwards direction, but the force induced on electromagnet (2) does not put any mechanical energy into the base (5) in a backwards direction, such that all or nearly all of the force is directed in the forward direction. The moveable electromagnet that has been energised will, however, have lost some of its centrifugal weight or force that has been placed within it due to centrifugal action. This, however, is replaced by the spinning action of the tubular structure. |
