Patent ID: 8350502

Claim:
An electromagnetic motor comprising: a frame; a shaft rotationally mounted to said frame; at least one disc mounted to said shaft; at least one permanent magnet mounted on said at least one disc off-center from said at least one disc; at least one electromagnet mounted to said frame in magnetic proximity to said at least one permanent magnet, said at least one electromagnet and said at least one permanent magnet being substantially radially equidistant from said shaft; a battery coupled to said at least one electromagnet; a switch for controlling electrical power between said battery and said at least one electromagnet; sensing means for generating a signal to said switch to activate electrical power to said at least one electromagnet upon sensing when said at least one electromagnet is positioned with respect to said at least one permanent magnet such that a magnetic force generated by said electromagnet with respect to said at least one permanent magnet would be effective for inducing rotation of said at least one disc; and a generator mechanically coupled to said shaft and electrically coupled to said battery for generating electrical power to said battery.
