DESCRIPTION:
BRIEF SUMMARY
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The subject of the present invention is a method that, as far as its inventor knows, is conceptually totally new. Based on the studies of dynamics of magnetized elements he tried, the invention offers a system which may have several different uses, e.g. for car engines, for industrial vehicles, more generally for propulsion and, for example, for electrical current generators.
The apparatuses, adapted to realize the method herein, which are also the subject of the invention, offer important and, given the novelty of the concepts, unusual advantages, which will be explained in the following description.
The subject of the present invention is method for moving a first member or group of members along a trajectory, by moving a second member or group of members according to a reciprocating motion along another trajectory not parallel to the first trajectory. Forces originate from the interaction of the magnetic fields of two permanent magnets or of two groups of permanent magnets which are fixed on said two members or groups of members, respectively, without any mechanical connection or contact between the same two members or groups of members. The magnets of the group moved by rectilineal reciprocating motion are radially distributed on a plane around a geometrical center, and the magnets of the second group are fixed around an outer circumference of a cylinder having its rotation axis perpendicular to said plane and passing through said geometrical center. The cylinder moves according to a rotative motion. The rectilineal reciprocating motion of one group of magnets is obtained by connecting them to a group of as many pistons of one or more than one internal combustion engine. The rotating cylinder or magnetorotor, on which the other groups of magnets are fixed, is connected to a drive shaft. Magnets and pistons connected thereto perform an outward stroke due to gas expansion and combustion inside the cylinders. A return stroke is effected by the action of a mechanical-energy-restoring system as well as by the action of the mutual magnetic attraction between said groups. Thus, the motion of the first member or group of members is obtained without substantial energy loss.
Naturally, the magnets, for long-lasting efficiency, must have been "stabilized", and their temperature must be kept under a preset limit dependent on their constitution.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
