Description:
MAGNETICALLY PROPELLED ROTARY SYSTEM

TECHNICAL FIELD The technical field of the invention relates to an eccentric rotary system propelled magnetically.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

With the growing concern of global warming, it is essential to reduce, if not eliminate contributing factors. A means of reducing the rate of warming is to reduce carbon emission into the Earth's atmosphere. A major source of carbon emission is due to the burning of fossil fuels.

Today, our society is heavily dependent on the burning of fossil fuels for energy to power our vehicles, power the power plants to generate electricity for national grids, for heating, for power generators, and many others. An alternative to fossil fuels is the use of magnetic energy for the conversion of mechanical into electrical energy and vice versa. Due to the vast acceptance of piston driven machines, previous attempts at replacing the use of fossil fuels with magnetic energy were applied to linear motors. Given that a single cylinder of a piston engine is effectively a linear motor.

However, a linear motor is not the most effective way of converting energy due to loss of energy due to friction caused by the contact of the surface of a piston moving along a cylinder wall. Furthermore, the required use of lubricants to reduce contact friction increases the dependency on the consumption of fossil fuels. SUMMARY OF INVENTION

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

Described below are preferred embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Each of the following preferred embodiments describes an example in which the rotating device may be assembled and the improvements over existing prior art.

The configuration of the invention is not limited to the configuration mentioned in the following description.

Refering to figure 1, an eccentric rotary system driven by magnetic propulsion comprises a rotor (100) with a plurality of sides having at least a repelling magnet (101) located along the trailing edge of the rotor (100) to allow the rotor (100) to rotate. A center shaft gear (300) running through an opening in the rotor (100) having annular gear teeth (400) supports the rotor during rotation, allowing the rotor (100) to rotate about the center shaft gear (300). Arranged along the rotor's path of rotation is at least a propelling magnet (201) for propelling the rotation of the rotor (100).

The center shaft gear (300) can support a plurality of rotors (100) to improve the torque output of the present invention. The configuration of the plurality of rotors (100), may be in such a way that the rotors (100) are positioned rotationally out of phase from an adjacent rotor. By placing the rotors out of phase allows the system to maintain momentum due to the frequency of magnetic repulsion in a cycle. Furthermore, the center shaft gear (300) provides drive for an external system.

The shape of the rotor (100) is derived using WankePs rotary engine geometry. Whereby the rotor (100) have at least a lobe.

The at least a propelling magnet (201) is located along the path of rotation of the rotor. The propelling magnet (201) may be a stator. The at least a propelling magnet (201) interacts with the at least an attracting magnet (102) and the at least a repelling magnet (101) of the rotor to propel the rotor to rotate.

The at least a propelling magnet (201) and the at least a repelling magnet (101) are of like poles.

The at least a repelling magnet (101) may be located at the at least a rotor tip's (110) trailing edge or along a substantial length of the trailing edge, allowing the at least a propelling magnet (201) to push the at least a rotor tip (110) away from the at least a propelling magnet (201).

The rotor (100) is set in motion by a cycle of magnetic repulsion. As the at least a rotor tip (110) rotates away from the at least a propelling magnet (201), the repelling force of the like poles between the at least a propelling magnet (201) and at least a repelling magnet (101) pushes the tip of the rotor away. The following rotor tips (110) are subjected to a similar interaction of magnetic repulsion. This cycle is repeated, as the rotor (100) remains in motion, its momentum sustains the rotation. In another embodiment, the at least an attracting magnet (102) may be located at the at least a rotor tip's (1 10) leading edge or along a substantial length of the leading edge, having opposing poles to the poles of the at least a repelling magnet (101). Therefore, allowing the at least a propelling magnet (201) to pull the at least a rotor tip (110) towards the at least a propelling magnet (201) causing the rotor (100) to rotate.

As such, the rotor (100) is set in motion by a cycle of magnetic attraction and repulsion. As the at least a rotor tip (110) rotates away from the at least a propelling magnet (201), the repelling force of the like poles between the at least a propelling magnet (201) and at least a repelling magnet (101) pushes the tip of the rotor away. The following rotor tips (110) are subjected to a similar interaction of magnetic attraction and repulsion. This cycle is repeated, as the rotor (100) remains in motion, its momentum sustains the rotation.

In yet another embodiment, at least a ferromagnetic material may be located at the at least a rotor tip's (1 10) leading edge or along a substantial length of the leading edge. The ferromagnetic material allows the at least a propelling magnet (201) to attract a rotor tip towards the at least a propelling magnet (201).

Referring to figure 2, the rate of rotation of the rotor (100) may be reduced by displacing the at least a propelling magnet (201) from the rotor's path of rotation, thereby reducing the magnetic forces between the at least a repelling magnet (101) and the at least a propelling magnet (201). A means of carrying out the distancing is by swinging the at least a propelling magnet (201) out of their position from the rotor's (100) path of rotation.

In another embodiment, the poles of the at least a propelling magnet (201) may be reversed to reduce the rate of rotation of the rotor (100), thereby having the poles opposing the poles of the at least a repelling magnet (101). The at least a propelling magnet (201) may be an electromagnet, whereby the poles of the electromagnet are reversible by reversing the direction of the current flow.

In yet another embodiment, the rotor (100) may have at least a coil wound around its perimeter to supply electricity. Electricity is induced in the at least a coil as the at least a coil passes the at least a propelling magnet (201).

The rotor's (100) path of rotation may have at least a coil positioned along its path of rotation. In this configuration, electricity is induced in the at least a coil by the at least a repelling magnet (101) on the rotor (100) and/or the at least an attracting magnet (102) on the rotor (100) as the magnets (101, 102) pass the at least a coil.

The at least a coil wound around the rotor's (100) perimeter and the at least a coil positioned along the rotor's (100) path of rotation may be used in combination or independently to supply electricity.

In as much as the present invention is subject to many variations, modifications and changes in detail, it is intended that all matter contained in the foregoing description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.
