Abstract

An electrical generator or motor device has a plurality of magnets are arranged in a helix or spiral on a stator 5. The array of magnets vary in magnetic strength. Contained within the centre of the stator is a rotor 3 having a plurality of longitudinal magnets 4 thereon. Electrical generators 7 may be provided at the ends of the rotors. Bearing supports 6 are provided for the device. The device relates to a perpetual motion machine. It is considered that the spiral form of the varying strength magnets reacts with the longitudinal magnets to initiate relative movement between the two sets of magnets with a resultant creation of electricity or a motive power source.

Description

Permanent Magnetic Motor

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to the transformation of potential energy, and more specifically to spontaneous and continuous movement using magnetic fie'ds.

Background

This invention relates to a device consisting of permanent magnets arranged in a unique structure that might convert the potential energy in magnetic fields into continuous rotational movement.

The rotation of the core magnets might be used to induce an electrical current in electrical windings attached to the core and might provide an electrical generator.

In the past these types of devices have been incorrectly described as over unity or free energy devices.

This invention does not make those claims and acknowledges the amount of energy used to construct and operate the device may ultimately not equal the total energy output of the device over its lifetime due to operational conditions such as friction and the depletion of the magnetic fields.

It is claimed this device will allow for efficient conversion of potential energy of that in magnetic fields to provide a steady and reliable release of said energy. It is claimed this conversion might last for a long period of time but not forever.

Problem solved This invention claims to convert the potential energy of that stored in magnetic fields into usable work and claims spontaneous and continued movement of a body mass.

What is does An object of this invention is to convert the potential energy in the fields of permanent magnets into continuous rotation of a central body by way of unidirectional bias or warping the symmetry of magnetic forces.

This conversion, it is claimed, will continue until the field strength of the permanent magnets reaches zero, the mechanics of the device fail or something else counters the internal forces to prevent it from working.

Essential Features Accordingly, this invention provides an array of small gradient field strength permanent magnets arranged in a unique three-dimensional helix type structure.

Rings with magnet housing, as described in the diagrams, are appropriately positioned to compose a helix or screw structure.

In the center of the structure is a selection of permanent magnets attached to a free rotating spindle or drive shaft whose magnetic field is attracted to the magnets on the out rings.

One, or more, of these permanent magnets might span the full length of the structure so as to ensure 3rd dimensional asymmetrical bias exists within the magnetic along the length of the structure.

A= 1St and 2 dimensional field bias.

Claims (9)

1. Claims 1. An array of varied field strength magnets, where the weakest

   field strength magnets progress to the highest field strength, all magnetic poles facing in the same direction, providing a gradient of attractive force for directional movement limited to the highest strength magnet, of a separate, secured, but free to slide, permanent or electro magnet.
2. 2. Bending the array of magnets in a circle, where the highest field strength magnet might, but may not have to, rest next to the weakest field strength magnet to form either a full or partial ring.
3. 3. Stack and twist a number of rings according to claim 2, to form a helix or screw structure in three dimensions.
4. 4. A number of permanent magnets placed inside the helix, claims 1 2 & 3, attached to a free rotating shaft, claims 1 to 4, might provide an attractive force that is perpetuated along the length of the stack, combined with the number of core magnets, which may be greater in number than 4, might provide the additional attractive force necessary, along the shaft, to overcome the tendency of the magnets to stick at the single strongest magnetic point on a single ring.
5. 5. The distribution and twist of force might allow the internal core magnets to always experience a directional pull along the full length of the structure, in multiple points within each ring, and might drag the core around.
6. 6. It is claimed that this rotation by attraction might spin the core magnets until other forces counter the rotation, such as field symmetry or friction.
7. 7. Coil windings round the outer helix shell, between the individual rings and internally round the core magnets, claims 1 to 6, might provide an electrical generator.
