Abstract

A rotor Fig 2 designed to compliment a stator is supported on a shaft that runs on bearings and has beside the shaft and disposed around the shaft a series of magnets 1 and at the magnetic poles of these magnets are laid magnetic flux force field pipes 3 which serve to channel influence and control the magnetic flux force fields from the magnetic poles of these magnets out towards each end of the rotor and then on through to fan out at each end of the rotor substantially through these magnetic flux force field pipes to create an advantageous magnetic flux force field or grouping of such magnetic flux force fields around the rotor in the manner of a turbine. A stator fig 32 is described to compliment the aforesaid rotor with around the central portion of the stator a series of magnets 8 and at the magnetic poles of these magnets are laid magnetic flux force field pipes 11 which serve to channel influence and control the magnetic flux force fields from the magnetic poles of these magnets out towards each end of the stator and then on through to fan out at each end of the stator substantially through these magnetic flux force field pipes to create an advantageous magnetic flux force field or grouping of such magnetic flux force fields around the stator in the manner of a turbine. The interaction between the channeled influenced and controlled magnetic flux force fields of the stator and the channeled influenced and controlled magnetic flux force fields of the rotor cause the rotor to rotate. The magnets may be any type of magnet or any suitable combination of types of magnet such as permanent magnets or electromagnets and the resulting channeled influenced and controlled interaction of the resulting magnetic flux force fields may be suitably channeled influenced and controlled by any suitable control system means via coils 5 which surround rotor and stator magnets.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Technical Field

The present invention relates to magnetic apparatus in which a magnetic rotor is driven by a channeled influenced and controlled force field of magnetic flux.

Background Art

In any sort of a conventional electric motor the power created comes from the interaction of switched, or synchronous, magnetic flux force fields that create a switched or synchronous magnetic flux force field in a stator in which the magnetic flux state, on or off as required, itself rotates or moves, or when stationary sometimes on as required or again off as required, or synchronously flows around the stator and in so doing carries a rotor with some form of interacting magnetic means, sometimes inductive with conducting coils sometimes of various permanent magnetic material means embedded within the rotor sometimes a combination of the two, permanent and electromagnetic. Thus the motive force is always some form of sideways sheer motion of one magnetic flux addressing another magnetic flux in sideways sheer to create the motion of the rotor.

In a Direct Current electric motor for example, an electromagnet on the rotor is energized with electricity by the action of a commutator or other switch so that the electromagnet is attracted towards a magnet in the stator. The rotor rotates to be closest, by the action of the two magnets attracting, to this magnet in the stator, whereupon, if the aforesaid electromagnet was not turned off the rotation would stop as both magnets would remain in that position facing each other end on end to each other. By turning the electromagnet off as the rotor approaches the ≈static magnet and on again after the rotor has passed the static magnet, even perhaps changing the polarity of the electromagnet to change the pole of the electromagnet, say from North which may attract to the static magnet to South which may repulse the static magnet, a relatively smooth rotation of the rotor is achieved. There are many forms of this type of electric motor. Some designed to utilize direct current electricity using some form of switch such as the aforementioned commutator and others designed to utilize alternating current electricity. All of them have design faults. In particular, that all these motors have most of the magnetic energy of attraction or repulsion at the highest levels internally perpendicular to the rotating axis of the rotor. Thus while there is a rotating motion created, by far the greatest magnetic flux energy created is an attractive or repulsive force between the outer surface of the rotor and the inner surface of the stator. These forces are largely perpendicular to the surface of the rotor or stator. Indeed, it is well known to those skilled in the art that these forces can be so high that improper design will result in the total destruction of the rotor through the creation of even tiny imbalances in these forces. Compared to the rotational forces, these sheered and largely perpendicular magnetic flux forces are of a very much higher order.

These sheered and largely perpendicular magnetic flux forces within any electric motor create many other problems, most notably, energy loss caused by the heat generated by the interaction of the sheer forces of the perpendicular magnetic flux forces as the rotor rotates and also through heat created by these high magnetic flux force fields switching polarity or otherwise interacting or switching on or off.

Again, because the real design limitation of such motors is the attractive or repulsive force between the outer surface of the rotor and the inner surface of the stator, it is not possible to create a design using this existing design technology to try and maximize access to these forces; they are never fully convertible into motion for increased efficiency. An increase of the magnetic forces causes an increased risk that the sheer forces will become as high as to lead to destruction of the device.

Many attempts have been made to overcome these deficiencies for example by changing the inclination of the magnets built within the rotor but always the design has some substantial element of sheer of magnetic flux between the inside of the stator and the outer surface of the rotor.

More recently a magnetic motor has been proposed in Japanese Patent Publication Number 5-230162 (U.S. Pat. No. 5,594,289). In this patent is described a way of creating a rotor with a cushion of a cloud of magnetic flux force field that acts, through the timed switching of an electromagnet or electromagnets, both on the rotor and also on the stator so as to improve on the efficiency of the rotation of the rotor. Here it can be seen that the action of the electromagnets is reduced to as low a level as possible and through that means, less energy input is needed to create a rotation of the rotor and it is claimed that the efficiency is improved.

Closer examination will show that while this new design needs less energy input, the rotational output is also relatively low and it is seen that this design still falls into a sheer force paradigm where the magnetic flux is again being utilized in sheer sideways to rotate the rotor through sideways attractive and repulsive forces. Another flaw is that there are out of balance forces caused by un-symmetnc disposition of the various magnets, electromagnetic or permanent, either in the rotor or the stator and thus there continues to be out of balance forces that limit the design.

is The design limits the number of magnetic elements available to produce the power output of the motor.

Many of these problems stem from the fact that in all such designs the alternate poles of the magnets cannot be turned largely parallel to the rotational sense of the movement of the rotor or the same with the stator without the alternate pole of one magnet in the rotor for example interfering with the alternate or other pole of an adjacent magnet in the rotor or stator and thus causing the elimination of the magnetic flux by being absorbed by the alternate pole of an adjacent magnet. Thus while some attempt has been made to place the various magnets in a more advantageous relationship between each other, there are clearly severe limitations preventing full utilization of the magnetic energy potential.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Taking all these previously described problems with the existing designs of all such electric motors into account the object of the present invention is to provide a rotating magnetic apparatus that aims to largely eliminate the sheer element of the force fields of the magnetic flux to instead, by means of channeling influencing controlling or piping and otherwise controlling the flow of magnetic flux force fields running between the poles of the magnets, create a force field of magnetic flux running largely parallel to the rotating motion of the rotor and also to create the same effect in the stator with the force field of magnetic flux from the stator and thus reduce or even eliminate the sheer element of the magnetic flux force fields between the magnetic elements of both the stator and the rotor. In so doing it will be seen that it becomes possible to much more advantageously position the magnets and to contemplate access to the full force of the flowing fields of magnetic flux force fields of the rotor and the stator either in repulsion or attraction or both as necessary and so to provide a very much higher efficiency apparatus.

Accordingly, in the present invention, there is provided a rotor with a shaft running on bearings to support the rotational motion of the apparatus and at the central portion of the length of the shaft and around the outside diameter of the shaft there is disposed a series of magnets laid beside the central shaft and around the outside of the shaft. These magnets so disposed may have their poles in the same general direction, all North poles facing in one direction towards one end of the shaft and all south Poles facing in the other alternative direction and at the magnetic poles of these aforesaid magnets are laid magnetic flux force field pipes designed to channel influence and control and to carry the flow of any suitable magnetic flux force field anywhere suitably and advantageously within the magnetic apparatus. These magnetic flux force field flow pipes serve to channel the magnetic flux force fields from these magnets out towards each end of the rotor and then on through to fan out at each end of the rotor substantially through these magnetic flux force field pipes to create an advantageous magnetic flux force field or grouping of such magnetic flux force fields around the rotor in the manner of a turbine.

The rotor of the rotating magnetic turbine apparatus may have additional magnetic means or non magnetic means suitably disposed to allow further advantageous channeled influenced and or controlled magnetic

flux force fields piped or otherwise as necessary.

Additional magnetic flux force field flow pipes means and or magnetic shielding means and or magnetic flux force field control system means may be placed in any preferred location of the magnetic apparatus.

A stator is described with a series of magnets disposed around the stator and these magnets so disposed may have their poles in the same general direction, all North poles facing in one direction towards one end of the stator and all south Poles facing in the other alternative direction and at the magnetic poles of these aforesaid magnets are laid magnetic flux force field pipes designed to channel influence and control and to carry the flow of any suitable magnetic flux force field anywhere suitably and advantageously within the magnetic apparatus. These magnetic flux force field flow pipes serve to channel the magnetic flux force fields from these magnets out towards each end of the stator and then on through to each end of the stator substantially through these magnetic flux force field pipes to create an advantageous magnetic flux force field or grouping of such magnetic flux force fields around the stator in the manner of a turbine.

A stator is described with a series of magnets disposed around the structure of the stator again with their poles facing in substantially the same direction as the rotor magnets; North Pole facing all one way and South Pole facing the other and each being in the same direction of pole orientation as the rotor magnets. -k

The stator of the rotating magnetic turbine apparatus may have additional magnetic means or non magnetic means suitably disposed to allow further advantageoUs channeled influenced and or controlled magnetic

flux force fields piped or otherwise as necessary.

These stator magnets so disposed may or may not as necessary have their magnetic poles in the same general direction, all North poles facing in one direction towards the end of the stator and all south Poles facing in the other alternative direction. The magnetic poles of any or all of the magnetic elements of the magnetic apparatus may point in any suitable advantageous direction. The magnetic elements may be of any suitable advantageous means including but not confined to permanent magnets, electromagnets or induced magnetic elements.

At each end of each of these stator magnets are laid magnetic flux force field flow pipes designed to channel influence and control the flow of any suitable magnetic flux force field anywhere advantageously within the magnetic apparatus and these magnetic flux force field flow pipes are similarly radially spaced around the central portion of the stator and which serve to channel the magnetic flux force fields created by these magnets out towards each end of the stator and then to fan out at each end of the stator ring to create magnetic flux around the outer periphery of each end of the Stator with the sense of the rotation of the stator magnetic flux force field being in the opposite direction and largely parallel to that of the rotor magnetic flux force fields.

Thus if largely attraction of magnetic flux force fields is utilized between the rotor and the stator they will attract each other. If largely repulsion of the magnetic flux force fields is utilized then the force fields will be repelling each other and thus attraction or repulsion may be used as necessary at any time and in any manner to the advantage of the magnetic apparatus.

Interaction between the magnetic flux force field or fields from the rotor and the magnetic flux force field or fields from the stator cause the rotor to rotate and the resulting interaction of magnetic flux force fields may be suitably controlled by any suitable control system means to facilitate and control the rotation of the rotor in the magnetic apparatus.

The poles of any or all of the magnetic elements of the magnetic apparatus may point in any suitable advantageous direction.

The magnetic flux force field pipes may be constructed from any combination of any other material such as sintered material or rolled material or drawn material or cast material or stamped material.

The magnetic flux force field pipes may be constructed from anything that can advantageously be used as a magnetic flux field force pipe to suitably channel influence and control or pipe the flow of any form of magnetic energy to any suitable part or location advantageously within or without the magnetic apparatus.

The magnetic flux force field pipes may be so constructed as to advantageously control the flow of such magnetic flux or any part thereof of such magnetic flux in any advantageous or disadvantageous way The magnetic polarity of any component part or component parts of the magnetic apparatus may be controlled by any control system means.

Any part of the magnetic apparatus may be advantageously controlled in temperature to facilitate any advantageous properties.

According to another embodiment of the invention, the resulting overflow of the magnetic flux force fields caused by the relative movement between the rotor and stator will be utilized to permit the additional collection of energy from induced currents in suitably positioned inductors to generate surplus energy from the magnetic apparatus.

Accordingly to yet another embodiment of the invention energy in any form from any source may be used to suitably control and or to further advantageously energize the magnetic apparatus.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

I will now describe an at present preferred version of the Invention.

Please note that the figures mostly only show the main magnetic elements of the proposed magnetic turbine apparatus. Details showing supporting bearings for the rotor shaft and structures for the further support of both the rotor components and for the stator components as also any details of any advantageous magnetic shielding means or any suitable control system means to advantageously facilitate and control the rotation of the rotor such as a commutator have been omitted for the purposes of clarity. Again, all Magnetic means and magnetic flux force field pipe means are shown out of contact with each other for the purposes of clarity.

Figs. 1 and 2 show a close up view of the center of a rotor and a wider angle view of a rotor. A rotor has {suitably embedded in a sleeve 17 (fig. 6)) around the central portion of its supporting shaft 2 and laid parallel to and in line with the central shaft and equally disposed around the outside of the shaft a series of magnets 1. At each end of each of these rotor magnets 1 are laid magnetic flux force field pipes 3 which are similarly radially spaced around the central shaft 2 and which serve to channel the magnetic flux force field 4 created by these magnets out towards each end of the rotor shaft and then these magnetic flux force field pipes fan out 6 at each end of the rotor to create a magnetic flux force field 4 around the outer periphery of each end of the rotor in the manner of a simple turbine. The at present preferred orientation of the magnetic poles of the rotor are shown all pointing in one preferred direction 7.

A supporting structure for the disc of ma9netic flux force field pipes at each end of the rotor shaft and rotor shaft bearings are not shown for the purposes of clarity.

Fig 3 shows a view of the arrangements of the magnetic elements and the magnetic flux force field pipes of a preferred version of a stator. A stator is described {with a stator sleeve 22 (fig 7)), holding in place around the central portion of its structure and laid parallel to the rotor sleeve and in line with the center line of the magnetic apparatus defined by the rotor shaft 2 and equally disposed around the structure of the stator sleeve a series of stator magnets 8. At each end of each of these stator magnets 8 are laid magnetic flux force field pipes 11 which are similarly radially spaced around the central portion of the stator sleeve 22 and which serve to channel the magnetic flux force field 10 of the stator created by these stator magnets 8 out towards each end of the stator sleeve 22 and then to fan out 9 at each end of the stator to create a ring of magnetic flux force field 10 around the outer periphery of each end of the Stator. An example of an at present preferred electromagnetic coil or inductive coil 5 is shown around the stator and also around a single magnetic flux force field pipe. Please refer to the note on Fig 1 for more details. I suggest that rare earth magnets 10mm dia. and 10mm long are used for both the rotor and stator magnets. The Magnetic flux force field pipes may be constructed from 12mm dia. non magnetic tube with a 1mm wall thickness and a core of a suitable magnetic coercive material such as silicon steel bar is inserted into the tubes before they are bent to shape.

Fig. 4 shows an assembly of the rotor inside of the stator with the stator is magnetic flux force field advantageously positioned close to the two ends of the rotor. The interaction between the largely parallel magnetic flux force fields 12 between the rotor and the stator cause the rotor to rotate.

Fig 5. shows an end view of the rotor and stator assembly with the ends of the rotor magnetic flux force field pipes curving around 15 and the ends of the stator magnetic flux force field pipes 14 in close association with each other so that the magnetic flux 16 can be utilized to cause the rotor to rotate.

Fig. 6 shows a perspective view of the rotor sleeve 17 supporting the location and positioning of the rotor magnets 1 and the magnetic flux force field pipes 3 in holes 18 advantageously positioned around the circumference of the end face 19 of the sleeve 17. Rotor shaft 2 supports the rotor sleeve by an advantageous fit with the sleeve centre hole 20.

Fig 7 shows a perspective view of the stator sleeve 22 that supports the location and positioning of the stator magnets 8 and the magnetic flux force field pipes 11 in holes 24 around the circumference of the end face 23 of the sleeve 22. The rotor assembly advantageously fits inside the stator sleeve centre hole 20.

Fig 8 shows a perspective view of another preferred version of the rotor magnets and magnetic flux force field pipes assembly where instead of the rotor magnets being at the centre of the rotor aligned beside and in line with the center of the rotor shaft. This time the rotor magnets are placed at the outer tips of the magnetic flux force field pipes andare shown as North poles 34 and South Poles 37. The shaft 2 remaIns the same and the sweep 32 of the magnetic flux force field pipes are shown.

Fig. 9 shows a perspective view of another preferred version of the stator magnets and magnetic flux force field pipes assembly where instead of the stator magnets being at the centre of the stator aligned in line with the center of the rotor shaft. This time the stator magnets are placed at the outer tips of the magnetic flux force field pipes and are shown as North poles 42 and South Poles 46. The sweep 51 of the magnetic flux force field pipes is shown. Also an example of an electrically conductive coil 43 is shown wrapped around the end of one of the stator magnetic flux force field pipes. Such an electrically conductive coil may be repeated on any or every magnetic flux force field pipe 40 so as to preferably be used for the purposes of channeling influencing and or controlling the magnetic properties of any suitable part of the stator or to act as an inductor to produce a flow of electricity and or an input of control of any or all of the magnetic properties of any suitable part of the stator.

Fig. 10 shows a perspective view of an assembly of the rotor with the rotor shaft 2 inside of the stator with the stator magnetic flux force field advantageously positioned close to the two ends of the rotor where the rotor magnets and the stator magnets are at the respective ends of each tip of each magnetic flux force field pipes of both the rotor 32 and the stator 51.

Fig. 11 shows an end view of the rotor and stator assembly with the ends of the rotor Magnetic flux force field pipes curving around 32 and the ends of the stator magnetic flux force field pipes 51 in close association with each other so that the magnetic flux 58 can be utilized from the tip magnets on the rotor 54 interacting 58 with the tip magnets 60 on the stator to cause the rotor to rotate. The interaction between the magnetic flux force fields 58 between the rotor and the stator cause the rotor to rotate.

Any magnetic flux force field pipe may preferentially stay in direct contact with the end of any magnet so as to facilitate the transfer of the magnetic flux force field to any other preferred location in the magnetic apparatus to suitably channel influence control or pipe the flow of any form of magnetic energy.

It may be preferable to add a physical control over the relationship between any or all of the rotor magnets or stator magnets and their respective magnetic flux force field pipes. In this at present preferred example we show that it may preferably be advantageous to be able to change the physical relationship of the connection between any or all of the rotor or stator magnets and their respective magnetic flux force field pipes to suitably channel influence control or pipe the flow of any form of magnetic energy and thus -Fig 12 shows in part a rotor magnet 1 is held in an advantageous position by the action of a spring 70 holding a rotor magnet 1 out of any form of a contact position between the two faces of the respective magnetic flux force field pipes 6 that are held in that relationship by the rotor sleeve 17 through holes 18. On the far face 75 of the rotor sleeve 17 is shown the ends of several magnetic flux force field pipes in cross section 73. With the rotor magnet 1 in such a position as shown here there is no contact between the end faces of the rotor magnet 1 and the end faces of the z 26-42 magnetic flux force field pipes 73. However, if an opposing force 67 is applied from a cam or other such means not show for clarity such as to press the rotor magnet 1 back into contact with both ends of the respective magnetic flux force field pipes, then a form of physical control can be achieved such as to control the magnetic properties of the magnetic apparatus. A similar system may advantageously be used to control the stator magnets.

Magnetic control of the magnetic turbine apparatus may be by any preferable control system means Electric control of the magnetic turbine apparatus may be by any preferable control system means.

Electronic control of the magnetic turbine apparatus may be by any preferable control system means.

Physical control of the magnetic turbine apparatus may be by any preferable control system means.

The magnetic turbine apparatus may be constructed from any preferable material or combination of materials.

By these means, the magnetic properties of the rotor of the invention will be enhanced and controlled in such a way as to provide an improved and more efficient rotation of any such magnetic turbine apparatus.

As will be apparent to any person skilled in the art, changes and modifications can be made herein without departing from the spirit of the present invention. All such changes and modifications will be included within the scope of the appended claims.
