Abstract

As it is known, if you place two permanent magnets near each other, with the same poles facing each other, an active repulsion occurs between the two magnets. Thus, if one of the magnets is fixed, the other tends to move away from the first. If we have instead, two permanent magnets near each other with their oppose poles facing each other, one observes an active attraction, for which, if one magnet is fixed, the other tends to move towards it, until it makes contact with the first magnet. The same phenomenon occurs between electro-magnets, or between a permanent magnet and an electro-magnet.The electric motor of this invention is based on taking advantage of the above-cited principle that is the force of attraction or repulsion, which is created between two electro-magnets, or between an electro-magnet and a permanent magnet. The specific innovation of this electric motor, is that it is comprised of a cylinder in which an electro-magnet or a permanent fixed magnet is inserted at its extremity, and into whose interior, a so-called "Electro-piston" or "Magnetic-piston" is made to slide, on the basis of the cited principles, and in other ways which are specifically detailed below. The linear active sliding in the two oppose directions of attraction and repulsion, is then transformed into rotatory motion on the basis of the known "Piston - Rod - Crank Shaft" system, typical of alternating internal combustion engines. This electric motor also permits a vast range of power, or more precisely the possibility of constructing "Multiple Electro-magnetic motors", according to small, medium or large power needs.
