The electrical engine consists Of sta

cult like wheel without feloes, each sp he
being crowned with magnet. This wheel
may rovolve on sn axis but 10 designed to
be stationary and oprighs-within couple

the magnets. Unthis 6y wheel, near ito axis

each key isolated from the other bv . space

small wheel the electrical current passes u
the keys and through these keys to The
