A Canadian Citizen This invention relates to a new rneans of creating a motor, driven by electrical energy, through the application of controllably timed magnetic pull toward target pieces extending radially from a central flywheel. Certain advantages over present state of the art electric nnotors are apparent, including improved efficiency against driving energy input, along with very high levels of torque. This invention is primarily based on the rather large amount of magnetic pull one can achieve through the use of a sort iron core plug wrapped with a large number of windings of low resistance electrical wire. A second consideration is the matter of being able to encapsulate or contain that magnetic force, or pull, and the third is to be able to focus the same Energy toward its pull target (s). Another gainful factor is the matter of taking advantage of hysteresis, rather than allowing such time delay to cause unnecessary magnetic resistance, or drag. As long as an electromagnet is only utilized in the same polarity, and the polarity is not reversed, the matter of hysteresis simply leaves the residual magnetic energy in the core element, and it will takes less energy to recharge it back to maximum output or pull.
In its presently preferred embodiment, this invention in a simple and basic form, as more clearly illustrated in the drawings provided herewith, consists of a high mass flywheel, with a number of magnetic target pieces of mild steel affixed or built into triangular or columnar extensions thereof, and the said target pieces are placed or positioned at exact proportions of the circumference of the rotational path of the said target pieces.
An equal or proportionate number of pulling electromagnets is placed accurately within a holding frame outside the circumference of the rotational path of the said target pieces, with one set of they said electromagnets pulling in the direction of forward motion, and another set of those electromagnets placed so their pull can be focused in the opposite direction, to be able to slow down, or apply braking force to the flywheel. Without being able to vary its forward speed, or to slow down its motion as necessary, this motor would require further external means to control and provide efficient means to apply its power output.
Variable speed control for this motor is provided by a cycle controller, very similar in function to those presently used on AC electric motors, but more specifically adapted to the DC: power requirE~ments of the electromagnets, and provided with rheostat or similar means of continuous progressive increase or decrease of cycling impulses. In the case of stationary applications, the cycle controller would not require the rheostat equivalent as variable speed control would probably not be necessary in most cases.
To further clarify the situation concerning significant power output gains through the direct use of electromagnets, it is true that 200 turns of wire at lamp of input current will provide the same magnetic pulling force as 10 turns of wire at 20 amps of input current. This is known as the ampere-turns rule.
As an additional point to make, i:he inventor has further realized, and applied it accordingly, that 50 pounds of pull applied simultaneously at 3 points on the circumference of flywheel motion, gives you 150 pounds of applied torque, and if it takes 3 amps. of applied current for each electromagnet, the motor is being driven by a total of 9 amps of current. This motor will have 3 electromagnetic impulses per revolution of its driveshaft, so in terms of applied magnetic pulling power, the applied torque should amount to 3 X 150 = 450 pounds per revolution. The 9 amps of current are only being applied in pulsed form on a continuing basis, .and will not amount to more than that, except for normal and rather small resistance losses in the wire.
The matters of containment and focusing of the magnetic pulling force as applied by the electromagnets is dealt with firstly, through the use of faraday cage effect windings cylindrically outside of, and in generally the same direction as the windings on each of the electronnagnets, secondly, by means of concave face curvature at the output end of each of the electromagnets, and thirdly, through the proper placement of a U - shaped magnetic barrier shroud device, made or wound of copper wire, which focuses the magnetic pull energy within an area which is closely shrouding the pulling target pieces being addressed by each of the electromagnets.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is obvious at the present time that motors or means of mechanical motive power are quite essential to our civilization, as there are countless motors of all kinds now being applied to operate and maintain what we would call our essential services and conveniences. As in most things, there are trade-offs, with some of there being negative in certain embodiments of previous state of the art. The matter of our present internal combustion engines being fuelled by hydrocarbon based means which are polluting our atmosphere beyond the point of no return has been and continues to be the main motivating influence toward development of this invention.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTS OF THE INVENTION
It is obvious at the present time that motors or means of mechanical motive power are quite essential to our civilization, as there are countless motors of all kinds now being applied to operate and maintain what we would call our essential services and conveniences. As in most things, there are trade-offs, with some of there being negative in certain embodiments of previous state of the art. The matter of our present internal combustion engines being fuelled by hydrocarbon based means which are polluting our atmosphere beyond the point of no return has been and continues to be the main motivating influence toward development of this invention.
The inventor is normally inclined to deal with all knowledge and information in a clear and conceptual manner. The principles found to be most fascinating, and which could have led to the development of the subject invention, as well as a new type of electrical generator, were as follows: Firstly, a magnetic field will not pass through a wire carrying an electrical charge. Secondly, the time delay where the polarity of a magnetic field is changed, referred to as hysteresis, is usually an energy robbing inconvenience, and there are possibilities of taking advantage thereof. (such as not reversing the polarity). Thirdly, the ampere -turns rule concerning electromagnets explains how large amounts of magnetic energy can be generated through the application of comparatively small amounts of electrical energy. Those fascinating revelations have led the inventor to create this invention.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
This invention involves the use of a mechanical output shaft, mounted in a fixed position on an adequate supporting frame and equipped with adequate supporting and properly mounted bearings. Installed on, supported and held in proper position on the said output shaft, is a comparatively heavy flywheel for the usual storing and sustenance of drive energy, and this flywheel has mounted upon its periphery at the outside end of protrusions therefrom, a series of two or more magnet target plates, discs or pieces.
Beyond, and concentric with the circumference of the said flywheel is an accurately positioned series of pulling electromagnets, with one set positioned to provide drive impulse energy to power the flywheel, and the second set to slow down the speed of the said flywheel. Since this Electromagnetic Impulse Motor does not have compression to show down the motion of its flywheel and crankshaft, as so conveniently applied in an internal combustion engine, it is necessary to provide some means of slowing it down.
There are two ways of preventing residual bleed-off magnetic energy from being a nuisance to radio or electronic based devices situated in close proximity to its location. firstly, there is the matter of shrouding the projected magnetic field energy within a controlled path to focus it upon its pull target(s). Secondly, it is an elementary matter to tighten and more narrowly focus the controlled channel path of the magrEetic energy by surrounding or shrouding that path with closely spaced electrical wire which is energized at the same time each electromagnet is energized. Both of these featurE~s are to be included in the preferred embodiment of the subject invention. For purposes of clarity in the drawings provided herewith, only the magnetic path focusing shroud is shown.

Both of these featurE~s are to be included in the preferred embodiment of the subject invention. For purposes of clarity in the drawings provided herewith, only the magnetic path focusing shroud is shown.
The combination focusing and field containment shroud would be outside of, and concentric with the electromagnet windings, and closely concentrically parallel therewith. There would be a small air gap between the said shroud coil and the windings and/or the exposed core end of the shrouded electromagnet.
Driving energy for' the electromagnetic impulse motor, at 12 volts DC, is provided by means of a 12 volt battery, such as would be installed and used in an automobile. An automobile alternator generator, with its usual diode system for conversion of its output to DC, is followed by a normal automotive type of voltage regulator, and provides continuous input to the battery while the subject motor is running. Those three items would be present state of the art.
Although not described in detail in this presentation, a cycle controller, somewhat similar to those now commonly used on AC electric motors, is used to control the electromagnet impulses and cycling of same. Its main differences from present AC electric motor controllers, is 'that it is adapted to the DC voltage and current required by the electromagnets, and its output cycles can be readily controlled by means of a rheostat or other currently available electronic device, designed to do the same things. Cycle controller technology is now patented, in common use, and is further a familiar item to those presently skilled in the art.
This motor is modular, as a second and/or third combination of flywheel and electromagnets could easily be employed on the same common axle. It is also to be noted herein that through the use of a larger diameter flywheel and axle shaft, versions of this motor can be built for larger scale applications. Such larger versions can also be built with tvrvo or three flywheel equivalents, to provide power for larger applications.
It will be also apparent that pulling electromagnets, shown in the drawings presented herewith as situated radially beyond the outside centerline circumference path of the tips of the magnetic target pieces, could just as easil~r be placed in continuously alternating proportionate positions beyond the side edges of the said target pieces. This configuration might be employed for instance, to increase the number of pulling impulses applied to the target pieces in order to increase available power output from this type of motor.
This invention could include permanent magnets as the target elements on its flywheel, to enhance its potential output, and also the target elements could be simultaneously energized electromagnets, and both of those potentials are not seriously challenging for someone skilled in the art, and progression of its development are very likely to include such adaptions. It is not necessary to further illustrate such adaptions iin this presentation, as it would surely become obvious enough to electrical engineers and others skilled in the art, that such further improvements to the basic technology presented herein could be a natural progression in the process of further development.
With all of the foregoing in view, and such further purposes, advantages or novel features as may become apparent from consideration of this disclosure and specification, the present invention consists of the inventive concept which is comprised, embodied, embraced or included in various specific embodiments of such concept, reference being made to the accompanying figures, in which :-Figure 1 is a side view of the mechanical output drive system of the electromagnetic impulse motor, including its triangular rotor with magnetic pull target discs thereon, and such main components are shown mounted on the supporting base frame of the motor.

The entire framework 7, is mounted onto motor frame 6, by means of mounting brackets 9, as welded to motor frame 6, and framework 7, is held firmly in place by means of bolts through mounting brackets 9 which are threaded into brackets 8.
