ENGINE

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a magnetic engine.

More particularly, the present invention relates to a magnetic engine which can replace a conventional engine.

A conventional engine should consume energy resources. The energy resources comprise gasoline, electric source of batteries, and electric source of electric power system. However, a plurality of electric wires should be provided for the electric source of electric power system. A vehicle cannot carry the electric wires to run a long distance. The recharged batteries may be used as an energy resource of a vehicle. However, the recharged batteries should be charged very often. Once the recharged batteries should be charged, the user may not be able to find a station to charge the recharged batteries. The user may use gas as an energy resource of a vehicle. The gas is a clean energy. However, a gas tank may be exploded in a vehicle accident. The leakage of gas may cause an accident. Therefore, gasoline is often used as an energy resource of a vehicle. However, the gasoline will produce air pollution.

It is the object of the present invention to substantially overcome or at least ameliorate one or more of the above disadvantages.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring to FIGS. I to 7, a magnetic engine comprises a hollow casing 5, a first bearing 52, a lower disk 1, a torsion disk 2, a shaft 3, an upper disk 4, a second 2 ,QT

O-

(.c s 3 bearing 64, a cover disk 6, a plurality of adjustment rods 63, a plurality of pinions 634, a gear wheel 65, a third bearing 67, at least a push arm 8, and at least a fourth bearing 82.

The hollow casing 5 has an axle hole 51 formed on a bottom center of the hollow casing The first bearing 52 is inserted in the axle hole 51 of the hollow casing 5. The lower disk 1 has a center hole 11 formed on a center of the lower disk 1, a plurality of threaded holes 12 formed on the lower disk 1, and a plurality of periphery grooves 13 formed on the lower disk 1. The lower disk 1 is disposed on the first bearing 52 inside the hollow casing 5. The torsion disk 2 is disposed on the lower disk 1. The torsion disk 2 has a through hole 23 formed on a center of the torsin disk 2, a plurality of round apertures 24 formed on the torsion disk 2, a plurality of periphery lobes 21 formed on the torsion disk 2, each lobe having a round magnet 22 disposed on a face thereof, said magnets each facing generally in the same circumferential direction. The shaft 3 has an upper portion 32, a middle portion 31, and a lower portion 33. The upper disk 4 has a center aperture 41 formed on a center of the [R:ALIBLL]8576.doc:MFF upper disk 4, a plurality of threaded apertures 42 formed on the upper disk 4, and a plurality of periphery recesses 43 formed on the upper disk 4. The second bearing 64 is disposed on the upper disk 4. The middle portion 31 of the shaft 3 is inserted in the through hole 23 of the torsion disk 2. The lower portion 33 of the shaft 3 is inserted in the center hole 11 of the lower disk 1 and the first bearing 52. The cover disk 6 is disposed on the second bearing 64. The cover disk 6 has a center bore 61 formed on a center of the cover disk 6, and a plurality of circular apertures 62 formed on the cover disk 6. A gear wheel 65 is disposed on the cover disk 6. The gear wheel 65 has an axle aperture 66 formed on a center of the gear wheel 65. A third bearing 67 is disposed on the gear wheel 65.
