Patent ID: 8138696

Claim:
A dipolar magnetic compression motor comprising, a. a shaft; b. at least one first nonferrous rotor mounted to shaft; c. at least two spaced apart permanent magnets mounted through the rotor substantially parallel to the shaft with like poles adapted for dipolar alignment; d. a support member concentrically positioned around the rotor; e. at least two spaced apart substantially ferrous-cored coils mounted to the support member and having like poles juxtaposed to the permanent magnets for dipolar alignment during rotation of the shaft, each of said coils having a winding for receiving both an input current from a control circuit and an induced current from a permanent magnet as it begins to exit during rotation from its dipolar alignment; f. a timing wheel positioned on the shaft adjacent to the support member and including a Hall effect device; g. a control circuit connected to the motor for controlling an intermittent current to respective coils when activated by the timing wheel, the control circuit having a circuit for receiving current from at least one of the coils during rotation of the rotor when at least one of the coils is not directing current from said control circuit, said received current being directed to said control circuit for application to another one of the coils receiving current from said control circuit; and h. a housing for supporting said shaft and support member.
