Patent ID: 8093775

Claim:
A magnetic rotor device comprising: a first rotor rotatably mounted to a first support structure for rotation about a first axis; a plurality of first elongate magnetically charged elements secured to said first rotor spacedly along a length of said first rotor, each of said first elements having a first polarity on a first end thereof and a second polarity on a second end thereof; a second rotor rotatably mounted to a second support structure for rotation about a second axis; and a plurality of second elongate magnetically charged elements secured to said second rotor spacedly along a length of said second rotor; each of said second elements having said first polarity on a first end thereof and said second polarity on a second end thereof; wherein each of said first elements is positioned coplanarly with a corresponding second element and wherein each of said first elements is positioned sufficiently proximate said corresponding second element that a repulsive force created by the respective polarities of the proximate ends of said elements urges each of said rotors to rotate about its respective axis of rotation.
