Patent ID: 7086575

Claim:
A magnetically operated tool, comprising: a body member having a generally tubular configuration; first and second stator magnets mounted in a spaced apart relationship at opposed ends of said body member, said first and second stator magnets configured with like poles facing one another; a movable magnet freely positioned in said body member for magnetically induced movement between said first and second stator magnets, a pole of said movable magnet being magnetically attracted toward an opposite pole of a respective stator magnet; a first coupling positioned adjacent said first stator magnet for engaging said movable magnet when said movable magnet is magnetically coupled thereto; a user-operable linkage coupled to said first coupling for selectively rotating said movable magnet until the polarity of said movable magnet is the same as the polarity of said first stator magnet and said movable magnet is repulsed from said first stator magnet to said second stator magnet; and a plurality of metal coils attached to said body member and situated between said first and second stator magnets for generating a positive electrical voltage when said movable magnet moves between said first and second stator magnets.
