Description
- The current application is a continuation application of the U.S. non-provisional application Ser. No. 17/689,638 filed on Mar. 8, 2022.
- The present invention relates to motors. More specifically, the present invention relates to motors that utilize electromagnets to generate mechanical torque.
- The relationship between electricity and magnetism has been explored through countless experiments, and several theories and equations have been developed to explore their interaction. The discovery that electricity could create magnetic fields, which could in turn create electrical currents, was among the greatest scientific breakthroughs of the past century. Following that discovery, induced electricity and magnetism have contributed to the skyrocketing of electronics production. Development of precision in controlling these principles has further resulted in an explosion of products and devices that exploit the relationship between magnetism and mechanical energy. This results in items which can translate or rotate as a response to the input of electrical energy and the conversion of that energy into magnetism. In particular, electric motors have been developed to fill this very need on a larger power production scale.
- Such devices, however, have not yet been optimized for general use. Many of the motors developed using these principles rely on heavy rotors to generate large amounts of torque. These rotors tend to be heavy or sporting poor form factors, resulting in uneven motion and general inefficiency. Often, these motors are further specialized for use in vehicles and automobiles. Many motors that utilize electromagnetic induction are inaccessible for usage on small projects or items. What is needed is a motor capable of efficiently converting electrical energy into mechanical energy.
- The present invention aims to solve these problems. The present invention utilizes a planetary gear track, a plurality of electromagnets, and a plurality of permanent magnets. The motor is operated using attraction and repulsions forces, where a permanent magnet pole is attracted to a opposite and corresponding electromagnet pole and where the permanent magnet pole pushes against a same and corresponding electromagnet pole. The permanent magnet can also be switched to a similarly sized piece of soft iron. The motor uses a combination of attraction and repulsion forces by reversing the current flow direction-which reverses the poles of the electromagnet. This happens when the permanent magnet rotates by the electromagnet. The electromagnet pulls the south pole of the permanent magnet when the permanent magnet assembly approaches the electromagnet. When the permanent magnet assembly gets approximately halfway past the electromagnet, the CPU reverses the polarity of the electromagnet, repulsing the permanent magnet, generating mechanical torque along the permanent magnet assembly.
- The electromagnets are controlled by the computer. A rotary encoder tells the computer exactly where each permanent magnet assembly is. The computer turns on the corresponding electromagnet and changes the polarity of each corresponding electromagnet. With this, the motor can be tuned to turn on the electromagnets every 2nd, 3rd, 4th pass, etc. This allows the motor to be tuned to the highest efficiency. A planetary gear track can be mounted on the inside or outside of the permanent magnet assembly gear. When the track is mounted on the inside, the permanent magnet assemblies rotate in the same direction as the spindle. When the planetary gear track is mounted on the outside, the permanent magnet assembly rotates in the opposite direction as the spindle.
- The present invention is an alternating pole electromagnetic rotary motor. The alternating pole electromagnetic rotary motor comprises a drive shaft, a ring gear housing, a rotor assembly, a plurality of electromagnets, and a processing unit. The rotor assembly comprises a gear carrier, at least one carrier aperture, at least one planetary gear, at least one gear axle, and at least one permanent magnet. The rotor assembly is concentrically and rotatably mounted within the ring gear housing. The at least one carrier aperture is peripherally positioned to the gear carrier. The at least one gear axle is rotatably connected to the at least one carrier aperture. The at least one planetary gear and the at least one permanent magnet is torsionally connected to the at least one gear axle. The at least one planetary gear is engaged about the ring gear housing. The drive shaft is torsionally and concentrically connected to the gear carrier. The plurality of electromagnets is radially mounted around the ring gear housing. The plurality of electromagnets is operatively coupled with the at least one permanent magnet, where the plurality of electromagnetics is used to attract and repulse at least one permanent magnet in order to generate a torque on the drive shaft. More specifically, the plurality of permanent magnets will align themselves such that the plurality of permanent magnets rotates near the plurality of electromagnets. The magnetic forces are aligned with the plurality of permanent magnets and the plurality of electromagnets. The force of the plurality of permanent magnets aligns itself such that the plurality of permanent magnets causes the at least one planetary gear to spin causing the alternating pole electromagnetic rotary motor to rotate. Similarly, when the plurality of electromagnets switches its polarity, the plurality of permanent magnets repels and aligns along the plurality of electromagnets causing the at least one planetary gear to rotate further. The plurality of electromagnets shuts off when the magnetic forces start to hinder the alternating pole electromagnetic rotary motor from rotating. The plurality of electromagnets is electronically connected to the processing unit. In one embodiment, the motor can be operated with different amounts of electromagnets and permanent magnets. In one instance, five permanent magnets can be paired with four electromagnets,
