Description:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The invention pertains to magnetic motors which include permanent magnets as part of the power source. An example of a prior art device of similar character is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,703,653 issued Nov. 21, 1972 and entitled “Reciprocating Motor With Motion Conversion Means”. This arrangement provides electro-mechanical shiftable means selectively inserted between pairs of permanent magnets with their like poles adjacent one another so as to alter the magnetic field between the magnets, thereby allowing the magnets to move toward one another when the shiftable means is inserted. 
       SUMMERY OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    The present invention relates to a magnetic motor having pairs of permanent magnets which are arranged with their like poles adjacent each other. A wafer embedded honeycombed, conductive jellylike mounted gate means is disposed between each pair of magnets to control the passage of magnetic flux lines between the magnets to cause like poles of each pair to repel and impart a driving force through a motor linkage mechanism. 
         [0003]    The motor being of the reciprocating variety. The gate means is controlled by a relatively low voltage means and comprises a multilayer sandwich formed by an array of separator layers spaced apart by a housing and with each separator layer having electromagnets provided formed on their inner surfaces. The electromagnets provided with electrical conductors extending through a housing layer surrounding the sandwich. The sandwich further includes a conductive jellylike material placed in the gap between the electromagnets. Electromagnetic shielding wafer each with one of several layers exhibiting paramagnetic properties are embedded in between the pousness of holes of inner honeycombed in the shape of flat wafers embedded in the conductive jellylike material. Thereby said wafers are suspended in both said materials. In the presence of an electromagnetic field, one orientation of the wafers is formed and in the absence of an electromagnetic field another orientation accurs. One orientation of the wafers block the magnetic flux lines, while in another orientation passage of the flux lines thru the gate is permitted. According selective repulsion of the magnets is controlled by selective orientation of the wafers.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS 
       [0011]      FIG. 1  is a schematic view of the reciprocating embodiment in the direction of line  15 - 15  of  FIG. 2 , with elements  10 , 11  and  12  omitted for clairty. 
         [0012]      FIG. 2  is a schematic side view of the reciprocating embodiment of the motor. 
         [0013]    Housing  1  functions as a “stator” member  2  formed of Ni—Zn and or plastics and contains gates  3 , stator magnets  4 , guide members formed as gaps. For each reciprocating member  5  theirs  8  magnets per said member.  FIG. 1 ,  6 E and  7 F. Permanent magnets  6 E extend axially the travelling distance of reciprocable members  5  plus the length of member  5 . Recipricating member  5  has magnets  7 F and stator  2  housing  5 , has magnets  6 E as a guide means thereby suspend said members. Strategegecly placed within the gap between housing  1  and reciprocating member&#39;s is jellylike material such as silicon. Clevis arms  8  are secured to members  9  and contain pivitol pin aperrtures to pivotally connect crankarms  10  to common crankshaft  11  via eccentric crank portion  12 . Each pair of magnets  4  and  13  are arranged with their like poles adjacent one another. As will be understood magnets  13  are each secured to one end of a reciprocable member  5  opposite the end having clevis arms secured thereto. Magnets  13  are formed to present a square “working” face on one end each reciprocable member  5 . 
         [0014]      FIGS. 3A and 3C  each show a sectional view of the embedded honeycombed and conductive jellylike gate member  3  which is mounted between the like poles of two adjacent magnets  4 , 13  of a magnetic motor. Honeycombed and jellylike gate member  3  is a multilayer sandwich having several thin separator layers  14 . Each separator layer  14  is spaced from the outher and is formed of electromagnetic shielding material such as Ni—Zn alloy or the like and is generally formed as a flat, rectangular substrate. Spacer layers  16  and  17  are flat, rectangular, and are mounted between each of the separator layers  14  at opposite ends thereof and run the length of each separator layer  14  to formed an open-ended box-like structure. 
         [0015]    Spacer layers  17  are formed of an electromagnetic permeable material such as plastics (e.g. polethlene terephalate, acrylic resins polyethlene, polyvinloride etc.) or inorganic materials can be used such as SiO, or organic materials such as polymides, polyamides, polyfloroethylene when hardend or the like. Each electromagnet has a coil winding  18  shown with hacked lines of a sutibul material. Each coil winding may also be formed of a photorefractive material such as barium titanate. Gallium aluminum arsenide alloys, and gallium arsenide. Electromagnets  18  are provided with an electrical conductor  37 , 38  extending through a housing  19 . Housing  19  is an external box-like structure that surrounds the inner  14 , 18 , 21 , 34 , 201  parts and a top and bottom electromagnetic shielding portions  16  and electromagnetic permeable portions  17 . Portions  16  are formed of electromagnetic shielding material such as Ni—Zn alloy or the like and portions  17  are formed of electromagnetic permeable plastics or the like. Portions  16  and  17  run the length of the separator layers  14  forming the top and bottom of the external box-like housing structure  19 . 
         [0016]    The layers of honeycombed  201  host not shown and conductive jellylike host material  34  as shown in FIGS.  3 A, 3 C, 3 B and  3 D have their thickness exagerated for purpose of clarity and better illustration. Number  35  is omitted for better clarity as understood. 
         [0017]    Flat electromagnetic shielding wafer  21  guest are embedded in between the porusnes of the holes of the honeycombed  201  host which is formed of aluminum or the like and the shielding wafers are also embedded in conductive jellylike silicon material host layer  34  and held in a predetermined position by said materials  34 , 201  as shown in  FIGS. 3C and 3D . Each magnet  4  and  13  is incased in a magnetic impermeable housing  20  open at one end so as to direct the magnetic flux lines into and through the housing  19  containing the gate means. 
         [0018]    Attention is directed to  FIG. 4  which shows a sectional view of a shielding wafer.  FIG. 4  the shielding wafer structure is longitudinal section thru a generally rectanular layered “tablet”. It should be noted however that outher appropriate configurations may be used. Wafer  21  is shown to have a thin paramagnetic layer  22  sandwiched between two thin electromagnetic shielding layer  23 . Layer  22  then has both its ends and sides exposed about the peripery of the sandwich forming the layered “tablet”. As shown in  FIG. 4  layer  22  may be thicker then layers  23  if desired. Layer  22  may be formed of a paramagnetic material such as a paramagnetic salt crystal which can be grown to the appropriate shape. Some examples of paramagnetic salt crystals that may be utilized are: dyrsposium ethyl sulfate, gadolinium sulfate, cerium fluoride, cerium ethy sulfate, chromium potassium alum, iron ammonium, alum mixture, cesium titanium alum, copper potassium sulfate or gadolinium nitrobenezene sulfonate. Also layer  22  may, if desired, be formed of a ferromagnetic material in a binder. Electromagnetic or magnetic shielding layers  23  are respectively formed on outer surfaces of layer  22  and are farmed of stainless steel or the like. 
         [0019]    The operation of the honeycombed gate means  3  will now be described.  FIGS. 3A and 3B  shows via switch  24  a voltage potential V 1  frequency exceeding the inharent strength of the power source magnets of the motor being applied across electromagnets  18  exciting field and causing each embedded flat wafer guest  22  to relign within the aluminum honeycombed host  201  and conductive jellylike material host  34  parallel to the direction of the applied field across electromagnets  18 . As a result of this alignment transverse to the magnetic flux lines each flat wafer  21  receives and blocks a portion of the magnetic field between adjacent magnets  4 , 13 . All such wafers, acting together, forme a complete barrier and prevent repelling movement of the magnets.  FIGS. 3C and 3D  shows via switch  24  the voltage potential V 1  withdrawn from electromagnets  18  and allowing the orientation of the host  201  and resilience of the conductive jellylike host material  34  to return each embedded flat wafer  21  to its original orientation in parrallel with magnets  13  and via layer  22   FIG. 4 . In this position the honeycombed gate  3  is open allowing the magnetic field to flow between the magnets. As can be seen the flux path through the gate structure extends from each magnet  4 , 13  through electromagnetic permeable portions  16  electro and electromagnetic, magnetic permeable aluminum honeycombed host  201  and conductive jellylike host material  34 . 
         [0020]      FIG. 5  shows a block diagram of a preferred electrical and pulse system for controlling a magnetic motor utilizing the gate of FIGS.  3 A, 3 B FIGS.  3 C, 3 D. A friction part not shown is provided for reciprocating motor and as shown on, off switch is provided. Voltage potential V 1  is connected to each gate member  3 C by switch  24  pulse generator  25  generates high speed pulses which are then carried through rotory gating switch  27  in rotory steps between the four gating circuit C 1  through C 4 . Any suitable number of gating circuits may be utilized. A suitable gating circuit would be a monostable multivibrator. Gating circuit C 1  divides the generated pulse into time intervals of 0.1 second and gating circuit C 2  divides into time intervals 0.1 second and gating circuit C 3  divides into time intervals 0.01 second and gating circuit C 4  divides into time intervals of 0.001 second etc. The high speed intervals are then received by driving circuit  28 . Driving circuit  28  then drives the intervals to switch  24  which controls the application and removal of voltage potential V 1  to each gate member  3 C. Voltage potential V 2  is connected to pulse generator  25 . 
         [0021]      FIG. 6  shows the same block diagram of the gate members found in  FIG. 5  however voltage potential V 1  is connected to each gate member  3 A via distributor like system  29 . Distributor  29  being a flat disc which is attached to crankshaft  11   FIG. 2  within a gap provided by a housing block. Distributor  29  having portion  30  formed on one side of disc  29  and being formed of a conductive material such as copper or the like. The size has been exagerated for clarity. 
         [0022]    Conductive slide contacts  31  and  32  are affixed within the housing block  FIG. 2 . The rotary contact causes a closed circuit as shown. Thereby controlling the application and removal of voltage potential V 1  to each gate member  3 A. 
         [0023]    The operation of the motor of  FIGS. 1 and 2  will now be described with the understanding that the circuit arrangements of  FIGS. 5 and 6  may be adopted to control the operation thereof. 
         [0024]    With magnets  13  and attached reciprocable members  5  position as shown in  FIG. 2  and gates  3  closed as shown in  FIGS. 3A and 3B  magnets  13  are attracted to shielding wafers  21  via this orientation [ FIG. 4 ]. When magnets  13  reach the limit of their travel and are close proximity to gates  3  the voltage potential V 1  is withdrawn and gates  3  are opened as shown via the resilience of conductive jellylike host in  FIGS. 3C and 3D . Magnetic repulsion between magnets  13  and  4  through the open gates  3  causes magnets  13  and attached reciprocable members  5  to begin movement away from gates  3  and magnets  4 . 
         [0025]    When magnets  13  and attached reciprocable members  5  reach the limit of their travel away from gates  3  the voltage potential V 1  is applied to close gates  3  as shown in  FIGS. 3A and 3B  and attraction of magnets  13  and attached reciprocable members  5  to shielding wafers  21  begins travel of these members toward the gates  3 . This cycle is repeated again and again so imparts a rotary force to crankshaft  11 . 
         [0026]    In addition to the magnetic propultion system the eccentric crank portion is positioned in the linkage mechanism so as to have its rotory inertia act as a positive force in unison with and complementary to the magnetic system. 
         [0027]    It will be seen that on the use of an effective motor utilizing opposed permanent magnets a permanently interposed gate means between the magnets is provided requiring for its control only the selective application of an electric input and so improving the overall efficiency of the motor and its operation.
