    FIELD OF TECHNIQUE
    The invention relates in general to a new and improved electric motor and in particular to an improved system and method for producing motion from an electromagnetic motor. BACKGROUND INFORMATION
    Electric motors use electrical energy to produce mechanical energy, most typically through the interaction of magnetic fields and current-carrying conductors. The conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy by electromagnetic means was first demonstrated by British scientist Michael Faraday in 1821.
    In a traditional electric motor, a central core of . Tightly packaged current-carrying material (known as the rotor) rotates or rotates at high speed between the fixed poles of a magnet (known as the stator) when an electrical current is applied. The central core is typically coupled to a shaft that will also rotate with the rotor. The shaft can be used to drive gears and wheels on a rotating machine and/or convert rotational motion into straight-line motion.
    A linear motor can be visualized as a typical electric motor that has been cut and unpacked. The "stator" is displayed in the form of a path of flat coils made of aluminum or copper and is known as the "primary" of a linear motor. The "rotor" takes the form of a moving platform known as the "secondary". When current is activated, the secondary slides after the primary sustained and propelled by a magnetic field.

They are, of course, merely examples and are not intended to limit the invention from what is described in the claims. Well-known elements are presented without detailed description so as not to confuse the present invention with unnecessary detail.

    When directions, such as top, bottom, top, bottom, clockwise, counterclockwise, are discussed in this disclosure, such directions are intended as the only supply reference directions for the illustrated figures and for the orientation of components in the figures. The 10 directions should not be read to imply current directions used in any resulting invention or current use. Under no circumstances should such directions be read in such a way as to limit or convey any meaning of the claims.
    Turning now to Figure 1, there is shown a top view of one embodiment of a magnetic disk 110 that can be used by various embodiments of the present invention. In the illustrated embodiment, there are a plurality of permanent magnets 102 or permanent magnetic devices 20 disposed radially around the central axis of the disk or a longitudinal axis 104.
    In the illustrative embodiment, the plurality of magnets 102 are positioned between an inner ring 106 and an outer retaining ring 108. The retaining ring 108 is structurally sufficient to overcome the magnetic repulsive forces of the magnetic devices and maintain the radial disposition of the magnets 102. Retaining ring 108 can be formed from a variety of materials. In the illustrative embodiment, the retaining ring 108 is formed from iron or a relatively soft iron alloy. In other embodiments, they may be formed from non-ferrous metal if structural strength is the primary consideration for retaining ring use.
    In this example, the inner ring 106 is also concentrically positioned around the longitudinal axis 104. The inner ring 106 can be formed from iron and can be added to reinforce the magnetic flux resistance of the system or for additional structural stability. In certain embodiments, the inner ring 106 can be formed from non-ferrous metal if structural strength is the primary consideration for the use of the inner retaining ring.
    In the illustrated embodiment, each individual magnet of the plurality of magnets 102, e.g., magnet 102a, is oriented so that one of its magnetic poles faces inwardly toward the central or longitudinal geometric axis 104 of magnetic disk 110. opposite pole 15 faces outward from the center of magnetic disk 110. By way of example, magnets 102 each have their north poles facing inwards and their south poles facing outwards. Thus, magnets 102 have their similar magnetic poles that point toward the longitudinal axis 104. In other embodiments, the magnets 102 may have their similar magnetic poles (ie, their south poles) facing toward the longitudinal axis. 104.
    In certain embodiments, magnets 102 can be produced from any suitable magnetic material, such as: neodymium, Alnico alloys, ceramic permanent magnets, or even electromagnets. In certain embodiments, each magnet 102a in the plurality of magnets 102 has dimensions of 2.54 cm (1 inch) x 2.54 cm (1 inch) x 5.08 cm (2 inches). The exact number of magnets or electromagnets will depend on the required magnetic field strength or mechanical configuration. The illustrated modality is the only way to arrange magnets, based on certain commercially available magnets. Other arrangements are possible - especially if the magnets are manufactured for this specific purpose, j
    The individual magnets 102a are held in place by an appropriate security method known in the art, such as casting the magnets in resin, epoxy applying the magnets to a substrate, or securing the magnets with mechanical fasteners.
    In certain embodiments, fastening features 112 such as screw holes, threaded pins, or interlocking rings are formed on the outside of the outer retaining ring 108 to allow the magnetic disk 110 10 to be secured to other magnetic disks or a support structure. (not shown). For example, returning to Figure 2, there is shown a plurality of nine modular magnetic disks 110 coupled to form a magnetic cylinder 114. Although the nine magnetic disks 110 are illustrated, depending on the required magnetic flux field strength of the magnetic cylinder 114 or of the desired stroke length (described below), any number of magnetic disks can be used to mount the magnetic cylinder 114.
    Because of the modular concept of magnetic disk 110, in certain embodiments, any number of magnetic disks 110 can be used to create a magnetic cylinder 114 of a desired length and/or power.
    In other embodiments, magnetic cylinder 114 may comprise a single inner confinement ring 111, a single outer confinement ring 113, and predetermined number of lines of the plurality of magnets 102 positioned in a radial manner.
    In the illustrative embodiment, magnetic cylinder 114 is concentrically centered about longitudinal axis 104. In certain embodiments, magnetic cylinder 114 includes a magnetic end cap 116 coupled to one end of magnetic cylinder 114 to create a closed cylinder end. In some embodiments, the magnetic end cap 116 comprises an end plate 118, an end plate cap 119, a cap structure such as a circular retaining ring 120, and a plurality of end magnets 122. In other embodiments, the magnets 122 may extend into the inner space 115 of the magnetic cylinder 114. For example, in certain embodiments, one-third of the length of the magnets 122 may extend into the inner space 115 of the magnetic cylinder 114. The magnets 122 are each, oriented so that each of its similar poles are facing toward the inside of cylinder 114. For example, in this example, each of the magnets in the plurality of magnets has its north poles facing inwards - corresponding to the 15 magnetic north poles of the magnets 102 which are also facing inwards towards the longitudinal axis 114. In this way, the similar poles (eg north poles) of each individual magnet in the plurality of magnet s 102 and each of the magnets 122 faces inward with respect to the cylinder 114.
    In certain embodiments, end 122 can be produced from material similar to magnets 102 of disc 110. In certain embodiments, end magnets 122 can be secured in a housing (i.e., end plate 118, end cap. end plate 119, and circular retaining ring 120) and positioned so that their poles are parallel to the longitudinal axis 104. End magnets 122 may also be arranged in a radial manner 30 to form a concentric ring of end magnets. In certain embodiments, endplate 118, endplate cap 119, and circular retaining ring 120 may be produced from the same material as inner ring 106 or outer ring 108 as discussed above.
    Permanent magnets 102 and end magnets 122 generate magnetic flux forces which can be represented in this application as magnetic flux forces. A simplified representation of the flow lines (or forces) 124 is illustrated in Figure 3. When the permanent magnets 102 are disposed in a circular cylinder with an end cap of the magnets 122, the flow lines or forces 10 will form particular patterns as shown. in a conceptual manner by the flow lines 124 of Figure 3. The actual shape, direction, and orientation of the flow forces 124 depend on factors such as the use of an internal retaining ring, or the use of a ferrous metal or 15 end plate. non-ferrous, or an end plate consisting of oriented magnetic mounts to force the flow lines out of one end of the magnetic cylinder.
    In conventional configurations, the opposite poles of the magnets are usually longitudinally aligned.
    In this way, field flux forces will "hug" or closely follow the surface of the magnets. So, when using conventional electrically driven equipment, the clearances must normally be extremely tight to be able to act on these lines of force. By aligning the magnetic poles of each radially toward the center of the cylinder, the magnetic flux forces tend to accumulate (or are "accumulated") as they pass through the center of the magnetic cylinder 114 and radiate perpendicularly from the surface of magnets. This configuration allows for greater tolerances between the coils (not shown) and magnet cylinder 114.
    Thus, in these illustrative embodiments, the lines of magnetic flux (or forces) 124 will tend to develop a build-up effect and the use of the magnetic end cap 116 manipulates the lines or forces of flux 124 of the magnets in the magnetic cylinder 114 so that most or all of the flow lines or forces 124 flow out of the open end 126 of the cylinder. For example, the magnetic flux forces or lines generated by magnet 102a tend to exit its inner face (or its north pole), circle around open end 126 of cylinder 114, and return to the south pole or outer face of magnet 102a. Similarly, the lines of magnetic flux or forces generated by magnet 102b tend to exit its inner face (or its north pole), circle around the top end (or open end) of cylinder 114, and return to the south pole. or outer face of magnet 102b. The magnetic flux forces tend to follow this pattern for each successive disk in the plurality of magnets 102 until the end of magnetic cylinder 114 is reached.
    The lines or flux forces from the magnets 122 of the magnetic end cap 116 will also flow out of the open end 126 and return around a closed end 127 of the cylinder 114. Thus, the flux forces produced by the magnets of the cylinder 114 have an unobstructed path to exit the interior of the cylinder and return to its opposite pole on the outside of the cylinder.
    Figure 4a illustrates a conceptual representation of an electric motor assembly 130 in accordance with certain aspects of the present invention. As discussed previously, there is the magnetic cylinder 114 and a movable shaft or core 132. In certain embodiments, the shaft 132 is elongated and shaped similar to a rod. Shaft 132, or a portion thereof, may be produced from iron or a ferrite compound with similar magnetic properties. In some embodiments, the iron core (or portion thereof) may be 3.81 cm (1.5 inches) in diameter.
    In certain embodiments, the core can be a ferrite compound or powder. In some embodiments, the ferrite compound or powder can be suspended in a viscous material such as an insulating liquid, a lubricant, motor oil, gel, or mineral oil to reduce or eliminate eddy currents and magnetic hysteresis (especially at speeds of major courses).
    In certain embodiments, there may be a plurality of cores coupled to a ring (not shown) through which the shaft 132 can slide. The cores provide structural support for the shaft 132 and/or the magnet cylinder 114. In other embodiments, there may be a housing (not shown) that provides structural support 15 for the magnet cylinder 114 and/or the axle 132. The cores and/or or housing can be formed from any material, alloy, or composite that has the required structural strength. In certain embodiments, metal or non-ferrous composites can be used to prevent any cylinder end field flow distortion. In certain embodiments, external bearings can be used to reduce friction between the shafts and any supporting structure.
    In this illustrative discussion, the shaft 132 is mechanically coupled to a driven device 136. In certain embodiments, the driven device 136 may be a handwheel or crankshaft assembly. In still other embodiments, the driven device 136 may be a device independent of a mechanical coupling, such as a gas or liquid pump.
    Surrounding a portion of shaft 132 are a plurality of electrical coils that form part of a coil assembly 134. Each individual coil 134a in coil assembly 134 is produced from a conductive material such as copper wire (or a similar alloy) and can be constructed using conventional winding techniques known in the art. In certain embodiments, the individual coils 134a are essentially cylindrical in shape, being wound around a coil core (not shown) that has a central opening sized to allow the individual coil 134a to be secured to the shaft 132. In certain embodiments, the coil(s) is/are constructed so that an opposite pole 10 of the inner poles of the magnetic cylinder extends beyond the cylinder end opening.
    Although a particular number of coils 134a have been illustrated in Figure 4a, depending on the power requirements of the motor assembly 130, any number of coils 15 can be used to mount the coil assembly 134. In certain embodiments, the assembly The coil includes the individual electrical coils and core elements. Thus, core elements may include shaft 132, a portion of shaft 132, a metal or iron housing, or any similar element that can be energized or turned into an electromagnet when electricity travels through the coils. In some embodiments, coil assembly 134 may be encased in steel or other material to enhance movement and protect the coils and/or wiring.
    Switch segments (not shown) electrically connect the individual coils in coil assembly 134 in series to each other. In other modalities, other means, such as wires, etc. typically known in the art, can electrically connect the coils together in series.
    In some embodiments, the commutator segments are in electrical communication with a current source (not shown) via flexible conductors (not shown) that travel along shaft 132. Linear slip rings, inductive coupling, or plurality of brushes (not shown) shown) may also be positioned within the magnetic cylinder 114 to supply current to the coils in the coil assembly 134.
    Figure 4a depicts the motor assembly 130 when the coil assembly 134 is in a first position or at the top of the stroke. In this position, the iron core or shaft 132 (or portions thereof) is fixed to the magnetic cylinder 114.
    Magnetic attraction will pull a portion of the iron shaft 132 into the magnetic cylinder 114 as illustrated in Figure 4b.
    Figure 4b depicts the motor 130 in a second position or the bottom of the power stroke, but before energizing the coil assembly 134.
    In Figure 4c, the coil assembly 134 is then "energized" or supplied with a current of an appropriate polarity from a power source (not shown) as described above or otherwise known in the art. This will create repulsive flux forces originating from the center area of the coil assembly (or coil assembly core elements), which circle the coil assembly and flow back into the center area of the opposite end of the coil assembly. In certain embodiments, the flow forces can be abstractly represented by the lines or forces of flow 135. The repulsive flow forces 135 will compress the flow forces 124 of the cylinder 114 and essentially create an off-axis electromagnet 132 having an end. 13 8 or pole of the same polarity as the permanent magnets of the magnetic cover 116. For example, if the permanent magnets 122 have a north pole facing inward towards the center of the magnetic cylinder 114, the energized shaft 132 will then develop a pole north at its inner end 138.
    With the energized shaft 132 essentially functioning as a magnet having a north pole 138 in close proximity to the north poles of the permanent magnets 122 of the end cap 116 and the inner magnetic poles, the magnetic flux lines 124 compress, creating a repulsive magnetic force that will drive the coil assembly 134 and shaft 132 out of the magnetic cylinder 114. Then creating a return stroke back to the start position as illustrated in Figure 4d.
    In conventional motors, both linear and rotary, sufficient power of the proper polarity must be supplied to create an opposing force (or attraction) to produce a particular torque. In contrast, certain embodiments of the present invention can supply sufficient power to alter the magnetic domains present in axis 132 or core elements. The power to change domains in the presence of the strong magnetic field generated within cylinder 114 is much less than that required to create an opposite torque of equal value. Thus creating an electric motor that is more efficient than traditional technology.
    In addition, the thrust created during the power stroke (if the driven device is a flywheel, for example) can be used to aid in the removal of shaft 25 132 from magnet cylinder 114 resulting in a motor assembly that is more efficient than conventional engine technology. With conventional motors, an electrical current of sufficient magnitude must be applied to produce a given horsepower. 30 Typically, the horsepower produced is equal to the input electrical power, eg 746 watts = 1 horsepower (approximately).
    In the illustrative example, a 3.81 cm x 76.2 cm (1.5 inch x 30 inch) round iron core is attracted to magnet cylinder 114 with a force of 81.34 Nm (60 ft-lb) (81 .34 Nm (60 ft-lb) of torque) which is an exemplary power stroke.
    As discussed with reference to Figure 4c, after the downward power stroke has occurred, the coil assembly 134 can be energized with sufficient power to alter the magnetic domains, causing a reverse motion or return stroke of shaft 132. In certain embodiments , 10 it may be desirable for the iron core or shaft 132 to become magnetically neutral or balanced, in the illustrative example this can be accomplished with as little as 300 watts (approximately). The return course can then be generated in several ways. For example, the use of a small portion 15 of the thrust generated by a flywheel (not shown in Figure 4c) during the power stroke while shaft 132 is magnetically balanced or neutral, or mechanically coupling the core of a type of bicycle movement or increasing horsepower to a coil to create enough torque to return an axle to the top of travel. Also, in some embodiments, power can be applied to the coil assembly 134 in both the power and return strokes. Connecting two or more magnetic motor assemblies 130 to a common crank/handwheel with the power strokes out of phase will then produce continuous emitted power with little energy consumed to perform each stroke.
    In other embodiments, the magnetic end cap 116 may be replaced with an open end 30 on the magnetic cylinder 114. If the magnetic cylinder is open at both ends, then a longer stroke with less field resistance will result. In addition, two reverse polarities per stroke will be applied to core or shaft 132. In still other embodiments, magnetic cylinder 114 may be coupled to a driven device. In this way, the magnetic cylinder 114 can be moved relative to a stationary core or coil assembly.
    Turning now to Figure 5a, there is an isometric view of a single cylinder motor mechanism 200 that incorporates an embodiment similar to the electric motor assembly 130 discussed above. In Figure 5a, a portion of a crankshaft cover has been removed for clarity. Figure 5b is a cross-sectional view of the single cylinder engine mechanism 200. The single cylinder engine mechanism 200 is conceptually similar to the engine assembly 130 described above and can be considered to be a specific embodiment of the engine assembly 130.
    Referring now to both Figure 5a and Figure 5b, there is a magnetic motor cylinder 202, which comprises a plurality of magnets 204, cylindrical retaining rings 206, and a magnetic end cap 208 that are similar to corresponding elements 20 previously described with reference to Figures 1 to 4e. In this embodiment, cylinder 202 is connected to a connecting rod cover 210. Connecting rod cover 210 is coupled to a crankshaft cover 212a and 212b (only cover 212a is illustrated in Figures 5a and 5b). Covers 212a and 212b comprise two semi-cylindrical halves that are coupled together to form a longitudinal cylindrical cover 212 over the majority of a crankshaft assembly 214 (which may be a single crankshaft, a plurality of rods coupled to 30 connecting links, or any crankshaft structure known in the art). End caps 216 and 217 cover the ends of cylindrical caps 212. Additionally, in some embodiments, there may be intermediate internal structural plates 218 that form an electrical compartment 219 to house position sensor assemblies, electronic controls, or other such devices.
    In certain embodiments, there may be one or more structural members, such as structural member 220, to provide additional support to the engine. Structural member 220 couples engine cylinder 202 to crankshaft cover 212a. In certain embodiments, structural member 220 may be structurally coupled to a side support member 222. In certain embodiments, the side support member 222 supports a longitudinal support rod 224, which is generally transverse to the shaft assembly. crank 214. As illustrated, longitudinal support rod 224 is centered around a longitudinal axis of engine cylinder 202, and in certain embodiments, extends through end cap 208 of engine cylinder.
    In certain embodiments, inner crankshaft support members 20 228a and 228b, which are coupled to the crankshaft cover 212a, can provide structural support for the crankshaft or a crankshaft assembly.
    A coil assembly 226 may be slidably positioned around the longitudinal support rod 224. In certain embodiments, the coil assembly 226 may be conceptually similar to the coil assembly 134 described above with reference to Figures 4a through 4d except for the core component having a hole to accommodate sliding movement of the coil assembly along the support rod 224. A means to allow the coil assembly to be moved along the support rod, such as a connecting rod link 230, couples coil assembly 226 to crankshaft assembly 214.
    The operation of the motor mechanism 200 is similar to the operation of the motor assembly 130 described above with reference to Figures 4a to 4d. Iron cores or components 232 in the coil assembly 226 and the connecting rod link 230 essentially function as the shaft 132 of the motor assembly 130 to drive a driven device. The crankshaft assembly 214 is a specific embodiment of the driven device 136. Accordingly, a detailed discussion of the operation of the motor mechanism 200 and the power and return strokes of the motor mechanism 200 will not be repeated here for brevity and clarity.
    The horsepower generated by the motor mechanism 200 depends on the attraction of the unenergized coil assembly 15 226 on the motor cylinder 202 during the power stroke (as described above with reference to Figures 4a to 4d), with the final horsepower determined by the motor cylinder size 202, the coil mounting size 226, and the speed and frequency of the return stroke and whether additional electrical power is supplied in the return stroke and/or the attraction stroke. In certain modes, the engine produces 81.34 Nm (60 ft-lb) of torque. However, horsepower is a function of torque times the number of polarity reversals per second.
    Turning now to Figure 6a, there is an isometric view of a dual cylinder motor mechanism 300 that incorporates an embodiment similar to the electric motor or cylinder assembly 130 discussed above. In Figure 6a, a portion of a crankshaft cover has been removed for clarity. Figure 6b is a cross-sectional view of the double cylinder motor mechanism 300.
    Referring now to both Figure 6a and Figure 6b, there are magnetic motor cylinders 302a and 302b configured side-by-side (although any configuration is possible, including a V configuration, or an in-line configuration). In this embodiment, the magnetic motor cylinder 302a comprises a plurality of magnets 304a, cylindrical retaining rings or housings 306a, and a magnetic end cap 308a which are similar to corresponding elements previously described with reference to the electric motor assembly 130 described in reference to Figures 1 to 4e. Similarly, the magnetic motor cylinder 10 302b comprises a plurality of magnets 304b, cylindrical retaining rings or housings 306b, and a magnetic end cap 308b that are similar to corresponding elements previously described with reference to the electric motor assembly 130 described. with reference to Figures 1 to 4e.
    In this embodiment, cylinders 302a and 302b are connected to connecting rod covers 310a and 310b, respectively. Connecting rod covers 310a and 310b are coupled to crankshaft covers 312a and 20 312b (only cover 312a is illustrated in Figures 6a and 6b). Covers 312a and 312b comprise two semi-cylindrical halves that are coupled together to form a longitudinal cylindrical cover 312 over a majority of a crankshaft assembly 314 (which may be a single crankshaft, a plurality of rods coupled with connecting links, or any crankshaft structure known in the art). End caps or plates 316 and 317 cover the cylinder ends created by cylindrical covers 312. Additionally, in some 30 embodiments, there may be intermediate internal structural plates 318 that form an electrical compartment 319 to house position sensor assemblies, electronic controls, or other such devices, III i'
    In certain embodiments, there may be one or more structural members, such as structural members 320a and 320b to provide additional support for the double cylinder motor mechanism 300. The structural member 320a couples the motor cylinder 302a to the crankshaft cover 312a. In certain embodiments, structural member 320a may be structurally coupled to lateral support member 322a. In certain embodiments, the lateral support member 322a supports a longitudinal support rod 10 324a, which is generally transverse to the crankshaft assembly 314. As illustrated, the longitudinal support rod 324a is centered around a geometric axis. length of the engine cylinder 302a, and in certain embodiments, extends through the engine cylinder end cap 308a.
    Similarly, structural member 320b couples engine cylinder 302b to crankshaft cover 312a. In certain embodiments, the structural member 320b may be structurally coupled to a lateral support member 322b. In certain embodiments, the lateral support member 322b supports a longitudinal support rod 324b, which is generally transverse to the crankshaft assembly 314. As illustrated, the longitudinal support rod 324b is centered around a geometric axis. length of the engine cylinder 302b, and in certain embodiments, extends through the engine cylinder end cap 308b.
    In certain embodiments, the inner crankshaft support members 328a, 328b, and 328c 30 that are coupled to the crankshaft cover 312 can provide structural support for the crankshaft assembly 314.
    With respect to the first cylinder or engine cylinder 302a, a spool assembly 326a may be slidably positioned around the longitudinal support rod 324a. A connecting rod link 330a couples coil assembly 326a to crankshaft assembly 314. Similarly, with respect to second cylinder or motor cylinder 302b, a coil assembly 326b may be slidably positioned thereon. around the longitudinal support rod 324b. A connecting rod link 330b couples coil assembly 326b to crankshaft assembly 10 314. In certain embodiments, coil assemblies 326a and 326b may be similar to coil assembly 226 described above with reference to Figures 5a to 5b .
    Figure 7a is a schematic illustration of the double cylinder motor mechanism 300 when the coil assembly 326a is in a first position relative to the magnetic cylinder 302a and the coil assembly 326b is in a second position relative to the magnetic cylinder 302b. As explained above with reference to Figures 6a and 6b, the coil assembly 326a is mechanically coupled to the crankshaft assembly 314 via connecting rod link 330a, which as illustrated is fully extended to its maximum length. Coil assembly 326b is mechanically coupled to crankshaft assembly 314 through connecting rod link 330b, which as illustrated, is bent back to its minimum length.
    In the position illustrated in Figure 7a, coil assemblies 326a and 326b are in an unpowered configuration. In other words, electrical power from a 327 power source has not yet been applied to power one of the coil assemblies (as described above). Thus, the flux forces 332a and 332b generated by the respective magnetic cylinders 302a and 302b are similar to the flux forces 124 described above with reference to Figure 3 and 4a.
    The magnetic and iron elements of the coil assemblies 326a and 326b are attached to their respective magnetic cylinders 302a and 302b. However, because of the mechanical configuration of the connecting rod links 330a and 330b with the crankshaft assembly 314, a single coil assembly can be at the "top" of a stroke at any given time (i.e. , closest to the crankshaft assembly 314). In other words, in illustrative mode, each coil assembly is out of phase with the other coil assembly. In certain embodiments, when one coil assembly is at the top of the stroke, the other coil assembly is at the bottom of the stroke (i.e., farthest from the crankshaft assembly 314). Figure 7a illustrates a situation where the magnetic attraction of the magnetic cylinder 302a has pulled the coil assembly 326a to a first position or bottom of stroke. When coil assembly 326a is at the bottom of its stroke, the mechanical configuration of crankshaft assembly 314 and connecting rod connections 328a and 328b forces coil assembly 326b to be at the top of its respective stroke (i.e. , closer to the crankshaft assembly 314). » In Figure 7b, coil assembly 326a is then "energized" or supplied with a current of an appropriate polarity from power source 327. This will create 25 repulsive flux forces 334a around coil assembly 326a. In certain embodiments, repulsive flux forces 334a originate from the center area of the coil assembly 326a (or core elements of the coil assembly), which circulate the coil assembly and flow around the central area of the opposite end. of the coil assembly. In certain embodiments, flow forces can be abstractly represented by lines or flow forces 334a. Repulsive flux forces 334a will compress the flux forces 332a of cylinder 302a and essentially create an electromagnet outside of coil assembly 326a that has an end 336a or pole of the same polarity as the permanent magnets of magnetic cap 308a. For example, if the 5 permanent magnets of magnetic cover 308a have a north pole facing inward towards the interior of magnetic cylinder 302a, energized coil assembly 326a (or core elements of coil assembly 326a) will then develop a north pole at its inner end 336a.
    With the coil assembly 326a essentially functioning as a magnet having a north pole at its inner end 336a in close proximity to the north poles of the end cap permanent magnets 308a and the inner magnetic poles, the magnetic flux forces 332a 15 are compressed, creating a repulsive magnetic force that will drive the coil assembly 326a out of the magnetic cylinder 302a - creating a power stroke. Coil assembly 326a, in turn, will be driven into connecting link 330a.
    Since the connecting link 330a is biased towards the crankshaft assembly 314, the crankshaft rotates so that the link 330a can bend back on itself. This turning of the crankshaft assembly 314 will then cause the link 3 30b to begin to extend in 25 direction to the magnet cylinder 302b.
    Since the coil assembly 326b initiates a return stroke, the magnetic or iron components of the coil assembly are attached to the magnets in the magnetic cylinder 302b, thus causing the coil assembly to be driven into the magnetic cylinder 302b .
    Figure 7c is a schematic illustration of the double cylinder motor mechanism 300 as the coil assembly 326b has been driven on the magnetic cylinder 302b and the coil assembly 326a has been driven out of the magnetic cylinder 302a. In this way, as illustrated, connecting rod link 330a is now bent back to its minimum length and connecting rod link 330b is extended to its maximum length.
    In the position illustrated in Figure 7c, coil assemblies 326a and 326b are in an unpowered configuration. In other words, electrical power from power source 327 has not yet been applied to energize one of the coil assemblies 10 (as described above). In this way, the flux forces 332a and 332b generated by the respective magnetic cylinders 302a and 302b are similar to the flux forces 124 described above with reference to Figure 3 and 4a.
    Figure 7c illustrates a situation where the magnetic attraction of magnetic cylinder 302b and repulsive force on coil assembly 326a (coupled to link 330a and crankshaft assembly 314) have pulled coil assembly 326b to the bottom of the stroke. When the coil assembly 326b is at the bottom of its stroke, the mechanical configuration of the crankshaft assembly 314 and connecting rod links 330a and 330b forces the coil assembly 326a to be at the top of its respective stroke (or that is, closer to the crankshaft assembly 314).
    In Figure 7d, coil assembly 326b is then "energized" or supplied with a current of an appropriate polarity from power source 327. This will create repulsive flux forces 334b around coil assembly 326b. In certain embodiments, the repulsive flux forces 334b originate from the central area of the coil assembly 30 326b (or coil assembly core elements), which circulate the coil assembly and flow back into the central area of the end. opposite of the coil assembly. In certain embodiments, flow forces can be abstractly represented by lines or flow forces 334b. The repulsive flux forces 334b will compress the flux forces 332b of the cylinder 302b and essentially create an electromagnet outside the coil assembly 326b 5 that has an end 336b or pole of the same polarity as the permanent magnets of the magnetic cap 308b. For example, if the permanent magnets of magnetic cover 308b have a north pole facing inward towards the interior of magnetic cylinder 302b, the energized coil assembly 326b will then develop a north pole at its inner end 336b.
    With the coil assembly 326b essentially functioning as a magnet having a north pole at its end 336b in close proximity to the north poles of the 15 permanent magnets of the end cap 308a and the inner magnetic poles, the magnetic flux forces 332b are compressed, creating a repulsive magnetic force that will drive coil assembly 326b and connecting link 330b away from magnetic cylinder 302b - creating a power stroke 20 .
    Since the connecting link 330b is forced towards the crankshaft assembly 314, the crankshaft rotates so that the link 330b can bend back on itself. This rotation of the crankshaft assembly 25 314 will also cause link 330a to begin to extend towards magnet cylinder 302a.
    Since the coil assembly 326a initiates a return stroke, the magnetic or iron components of the coil assembly are attached to the magnets in the magnetic cylinder 302a, 30 thus causing the coil assembly 326a to be driven into the magnetic cylinder 302a as illustrated in Figure 7a.
    The cycle illustrated by Figures 7a to 7d may then repeat, with each stroke transforming the crankshaft assembly 314, which in turn may drive a transmission, pump or other mechanical device. A handwheel (not shown) can be coupled to the crankshaft to allow its inertia to aid the crankshaft rotation and smooth the flow of strokes.
    The horsepower generated in the engine mechanism 300 depends on the attraction of the non-energized coil mounts 326a and 326b on the engine cylinders 302a and 302b, 10 respectively during alternating power strokes (as described above with reference to Figures 7a to 7d), with final horsepower determined by the size of engine cylinders 302a and 302b, the size of coil assemblies 326a and 326b, and the speed and frequency of the respective power and 15 return strokes and whether additional electrical power is supplied on the respective stroke of return and/or the course of attraction. Horsepower is a function of torque times the number of polarity reversals per second.
