Abstract:
1. An electromagnetic motor, comprising: a permanent magnet connected to a moving part of the motor linked to an output shaft thereof and defining a moving displacement path of the permanent magnet; and an electromagnet connected to a fixed part of the motor, the electromagnet at least periodically operatively interacting with the permanent magnet, the electromagnet being electrically connectable to a power source for selective activation thereof, the electromagnet magnetically attracting the permanent magnet over a first portion of the displacement path when un-activated and magnetically repulsing the permanent magnet over a second portion of the displacement path when activated by the power source, wherein the moving displacement path of the permanent magnet is a circular displacement path, the electromagnet being located adjacent and radially outwardly from the circular displacement path of the permanent magnet to at least periodically operatively interact therewith, with a repulsion direction being substantially tangential to the circular displacement path.
