ABSTRACT:
An energy storage apparatus is disclosed in which a plurality of permanent magnets are used to store kinetic energy. The apparatus includes first and second fixed magnets which are positioned a distance apart along a longitudinal axis with both magnets having a like magnetic pole facing the distance between the magnets. A third moveable magnet is mounted on a guide rod which allows movement of the third magnet between a charged position in which the magnet's like pole is proximal the one fixed magnet and an uncharged position in which the opposite pole is adjacent the other fixed magnet. In the charged position, the magnetic fields of the adjacent like poles of the moveable magnet and the fixed magnet create a strong repelling force which urges the third magnet towards the uncharged position and the attraction forces created by the opposite poles of a moveable magnet and the other fixed magnet also draws the moveable magnet towards the uncharged position. A locking mechanism is provided for locking the third magnet in the charged position and allowing selective release. A power transmission mechanism is provided for receiving the energy to be stored and to move the third magnet from the uncharged position to the charged position. When the moveable magnet is released from the charged position, the power transmission mechanism also harnesses the kinetic energy from the moveable magnet as it moves from the charged position to the uncharged position and transmits such energy to a load.
