Patent ID: 8058755

Claim:
A motor system comprising: an energy storage device; a piston assembly comprising: a neodymium magnet; and a piston assembly housing enclosing at least a portion of said neodymium magnet; at least two end assemblies, wherein said piston assembly is configured to move with respect to said at least two end assemblies, said at least two end assemblies comprising: a first end assembly; and a second end assembly on an opposite side of said piston assembly of said first end assembly, each of said first and second end assemblies comprising: an electromagnet in electrical communication with said energy storage device; and an end assembly housing enclosing at least a portion of said electromagnet; at least one support rod extending between and connecting said first end assembly and said second end assembly, wherein said at least one support rod extends through said piston assembly; a crankshaft operably connected with said piston assembly; a connecting rod extending from said piston assembly housing and operably connected to said crankshaft; a crankshaft connector, wherein said crankshaft connector is operably connected to said crankshaft and said connecting rod to operably connect said crankshaft to said piston assembly; and a controller in electrical communication with said energy storage device and said at least two end assemblies, wherein said controller is configured to control a supply of electrical power to said first and second electromagnets of said first and second end assemblies, such that a first polarity of said first electromagnet is opposite a second polarity of said second electromagnet, and said first and second polarities are intermittingly altered by said supply of electrical power, so said magnet of said piston assembly is attracted and repelled from said first and second end assemblies.
