Abstract:
1. Apparatus for generating rotational energy by means of manipulation of magnetic fields, the apparatus comprising: a rotational energy generator in which a central shaft is integrally joined with one or more rotors, each said rotor having, at or near its most distant radial points, a permanent magnet array, said permanent magnet array comprising one or more mounted permanent magnets adapted to maintain and radiate a steady magnetic field following repeated exposure to alternating magnetic fields, said permanent magnet array further adapted to travel radially within a circular track housed within a stator, said rotational energy generator further being adapted with transmission means for output rotational energy power to be delivered to a target consumptive facility; said circular track being adapted to provide housing and electrical communication for an electromagnet array, said electromagnet array comprising one or more electromagnets which may be regularly spaced so as to be proximate to the permanent magnets of said permanent magnet array as it rotates about said shaft and radially about said track; each said electromagnet being adapted to generate an electromagnetic field when supplied with a desired electromotive force, each said electromagnet being further adapted with material and dimensions so as to permit said electromagnetic field to be rapidly developed, sustained and to provide a magnetic flux created when an electric motive force is applied, and then to rapidly lose said magnetic flux when said electric motive force is switched off from said electromagnet, and to further be capable of rapidly reversing said magnetic flux orientation when said electric motive force is reversed through said inductive coil or passed through an alternative reversing electromagnet; each said electromagnet being in electrical communication with a power supply, said power supply further comprising an electrical storage component capable of storing and releasing small bursts of electrical current as may be directed from one or more switches, said power supply being selected from any component known to have the capability of reliably storing and releasing said electrical energy in small and precise bursts, said power supply further being adapted to receive electrical energy in small amounts and to reliably and efficiently store said electrical energy for release, and said power supply further adapted to receive and transform said power from said power generator output for any other desirable source into a proper form for power supply storage, said electrical communication being further adapted with at least one relay within each electrical side of the connection between the electromagnetic coil of each said electromagnet and said power supply so that said relays can be closed to permit electrical current to flow through said electromagnetic coil or opened to prevent the flow of electrical energy from said electromagnetic coil; and controlling means for managing and controlling the storage, trapping, and release of electrical energy to achieve optimal timing and quantity of the delivery, trapping, and reversing of electrons from said power supply to each said circumferential electromagnet, said controlling means further comprising sensors detecting and communicating the rate of rotation of said generator shaft, the position of each said permanent magnet, and any other data useful in determining the optimal times for delivery, trapping, and release of said bursts of electrons and the amount of electromotive force to be applied to produce each said burst of electric current, receivers to receive input signals from said sensors, and relays and switches adapted to facilitate said current release.
