Abstract

A rotary magnetic motor comprises a rotor 27 carrying permanent magnets 26 and a stator carrying opposing magnets which may be rotated at the appropriate timing to reverse the polarity acting on the rotor magnet causing the rotor to rotate. The stator magnet rotation is driven by springs charged by the rotor movement and released by a trigger mechanism at the appropriate time. The motor may for a module of a multi motor structure. The specification suggest that the energy to maintain the system in motion may be derived from the pre-aligned electron spins of the atoms within the permanent magnets.

Description

THE PHOENIX "SCIMITAR" ATOMIC MOTOR The drawings are not to scale, but where the working prototype is concerned they are approximately half size. References to scale xl, scale x2 etc, are the multiplication factors associated with the particular components illustrated on sheet (1), and are for clarification purposes only. It is a part of this design however that the number of rotating magnets on the stator, and their respective pair partners on the rotor, is flexible, as this motor can be built in larger or smaller sizes using the appropriate number of magnets and/or larger or smaller magnets, together with the larger or smaller magnets, together with the appropriate adjustments to the size of their associated components.

The phoenix "scimitar" atomic motor is named thus with reference to (1) the mythical bird rising from the ashes of destruction, and draws reference to the time when fossil fuels will run out. (2) the shape of item (5) which resembles the blades of two arabic swords, and (3) that the magnets derive their power, from the re-aligned electron spins within each atom of their construction.

The magnets used in the prototype are of the "eclipse" e823 type, which have a maximum attraction and repulsive force of 3.4 kg, which represents 6.8 kg between matched pairs, but as mentioned previously more powerful magnets can be used, taking advantage of the latest advances in magnet materials available. In accordance with the conservation of energy therom. The phoenix "scimitar" atomic motor, does not create a new energy but converts an existing energy, into a more usable form, from magnetic to mechanical energy, and it does so in the following manner. All references to power will assume that the "eclipse" e823 magnets are used.

To establish the motor effect, in a purely mechanical motor, it is necessary to achieve the reversal of the magnetic field across the stator, every 1 80" by mechanical means.

This motor achieves this as follows: There are in the standard version of the motor, sixteen rotating magnet assemblies which represent the stator and use 16 of item (25). These are magnetically polarised into two sets, each set comprising a continuous arc of 1800 and each set being the opposite of each other magnetically, in respect of the radius of those poles facing inwards towards the main shaft. This is true also, of the item (26) magnets mounted in the rotor (item 27), and it can therefor be seen, that with no movement of the stator magnets, the rotor will have, two maximum power positions, one of maximum attraction to the stator, and one of maximum repulsion to the stator, when so aligned.

If the rotor is initially orientated into a repulsive position relative to the stator, there is available 1 80" of converted energy exchange, from magnetic repulsion and subsequent attraction to mechanical energy.

The phoenix motor achieves a continuous repetition of this in the following way: In this standard version of the motor, the two scimitar blades (item 5), which have gear teeth machined on their outer edges and which circumscribe an arc of slightly more than 22.5 , mesh every 22.5 with two pinions, on opposite sides of the stator. These pinions, as rotation commences load (wind) two springs (item 9) attached to them, to a tension of 8 kg per spring. These pinions are also coupled, via a ratchet dog (item 16) to their individual rotating magnet assemblies. While the springs (item 9) are being loaded, the pawl (item 63), as part of the loading gear assembly, slips on the ratchet dog (item 16), and no movement of the rotating magnet assembly takes place.

During the first 1800 of rotation, all sixteen springs (item 9) are loaded and retain their loaded status, by the pawls (item 63) being detented upon one shoulder of the ratchet dogs (item 16). The driving force necessary, during this loading procedure, never exceeding 16 kg, in total, at any given instant.

Since there is, at the rim of the rotor 108.8kg of driving force available, (16 x 6.8 kg), this leaves a net figure of 92.8 kg, of output power available, notwithstanding small losses through other spring tensions.

At the end of the first 1800 of rotation, the actuator plate (item 3), is released by the release trigger (item 17), and rotates, in an anticlockwise direction, over a short distance of 4mm, thereby releasing all sixteen rotating magnet assemblies, to be turned 1800 by the sixteen pre-loaded springs (Item 9), driving the ratchet dogs (item 16), via the item (63) pawls, as part of the loading gear assemblies, in a clockwise direction.

The magnetic reversal of the stator field, has thereby been achieved, and the next 1800 of rotation is commenced, during which, the above procedures are repeated. At the end of the second 1800 of rotation, the loading trigger (item 22), is operated by the roller (item 28), on the "scimitar" blades (item 5), and this moves the actuator plate, into the loaded position, turning 4mm, in a clockwise direction, to be latched onto the release trigger (item 17), thereby allowing the rotating magnet assemblies, to revolve a further 1800 to commence the next half cycle of main shaft rotation.

Items 11 & 14, which are additional ratchet dog pawls, are included in the design, to ensure, that the rotating magnet assemblies may never be allowed to move in an anticlockwise direction, away from their pin detent on the shoulders of the actuator plate, by for instance the slipping of the ratchet pawls (item 63), on the ratchet dog (item 16), as part of the loading gear assembly, during the spring (item 9) loading operation.

The rotating magnet assemblies, can therefor, only revolve in a clockwise direction, and only then, as dictated by the actuator plate, in increments of 1800 in the standard version of the phoenix "scimitar" atomic motor, only 15% of the available power is needed to reverse the magnetic field of the stator leaving 85%, as the net energy transfer available as output power.

8 kg was chosen, for the loaded spring (item 9) tensions, as this needs to be greater than the rotating magnet assembly to rotor, repulsive and attraction force, in order to turn the rotating magnets into a hostile magnetic field.

The number of gear teeth, on the periphery of the scimitar blades, exceeds the number of teeth in 1800 of the pinions, by one tooth. This is to ensure, that by the slight override, the item (63) pawls, as part of the loading gear assemblies, will always detent smoothly upon the ratchet dogs (item 16), and ensure also, that the pre-set bias, of springs (item 9) is not diminished, such bias having been pre-set, to ensure the most linear transmission of their power during the 1800 of their operation.

The phoenix "scimitar" atomic motor has been designed as a modular motor system, in that each individual motor, can be coupled together, with as many are required, to achieve the required output power necessary for a particular application. This is achieved using either, the main cradle (item 24), or in the case of a torpedo, a tube as illustrated on sheet 12. In both cases an adapter (item 50) is used to couple the main shafts of the motors together, and the final output is derived, using the adapter (item 51) which represents the drive spindle. I call this stacking, and both examples of this are shown on sheets 11 & 12 respectively.

The motor will always stop with all its springs (item 9) loaded and ready to be released.

The compulsion rod assembly is sprung loaded, to ensure, that the motor never stops, in mid travel, with only half, or less, of its springs (item 9) loaded, whenever the red stop button, as part of the item (25) assembly is depressed, when the motor is running, the plate (item 36) is latched into its lower position, being retained there, by the bolt attached to item (37), moving into a position behind it, and resting upon item (48). Item (47), which is attached to item (36), thereby depresses the cap, item (52) of the compulsion rod assembly, and brings the spring pressure of item (53), to bear upon the rod (item 54). At this point, surface "b" (see sheet 7) of the head of the compulsion rod (item 56), will sense whether the actuator plate pin (item 69) (as part of the release trigger mechanism) is in its path. If it is, it means that the scimitar blade roller (item 28) has passed the release trigger, and is approaching the loading trigger. The head of the compulsion rod cannot move forward at this time, until the loading trigger has been operated, by the scimitar blade roller (item 28), but maintains a spring pressure upon the actuator plate pin. When the loading trigger is operated, the actuator plate, and its release trigger pin, move in a clockwise direction. The pin would normally latch onto the release trigger, but as it moves out of the path of surface "b", of the head of the compulsion rod, the latter is able to move forward, under spring pressure, holding, as it does so, the release trigger in its release position, and latching the pin (item 69), upon surface "c" of itself.

The roller (item 28), is now approaching, to find the release trigger in a clearance position to its path of operation, and cannot initiate the next 1800 of rotation. No field reversal takes place therefor, and the motor stops.

All that is required to re-start the motor, is to depress the green start button of the item (25) assembly. The bolt (item 45) which is attached to item (37), is then withdrawn from behind item (36), by the ballrace (item 49), bearing upon the angled wedge of item (37), and moving it sideways, so that the bolt will detent upon the edge of item (36), ands item (48) combined the plate, item (36), having returned to its upper position under the spring pressure of item (43).

The cap of the compulsion rod (item 52), is then able to return to its upper position under the spring pressure of item (53), and the head of the compulsion rod moves upwards under the spring pressure of item (55). Then, because the release trigger is held in the un-latched position, by the scimitar blades roller (item 28) the actuator plate, and its pin, move in an anticlockwise direction, allowing a reversal of the stator magnetic field, and the motor starts.

The spring pressure of item (53) should be greater than that of the spring, item (55), and the combined pressures of both should be greater than the release triggers return spring (item 33), to overcome it during a stop sequence.

If, when the red stop button, of the item (25) assembly is depressed while the motor is running, and the actuator plate pin (item 69) is not in the path of surface "b" of the head of the compulsion rod, the head will take over the latching, on its surface "c", from the latched release trigger, and when the scimitar blades roller (item 28) arrives, the motor will stop as previously referred to.

The scimitar blade roller, should have a solid rubber ring upon its circumference.

Lubrication is achieved by a shallow sump, to a one third height of the internal dimensions of the motor, and both the front and rear housing plates have gaskets.

Eddy currents do not present a problem to the phoenix "scimitar" atomic motor, as the complete housing, housing plates, and rotor are manufactured from non-conductive materials.

In some applications however, a metal or alloy housing would be used.
