Definitions

  • This invention relates generally to a reciprocating electromagnetic engine, and more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to a magnetically driven engine for developing shaft power.
  • the present invention is directed to an electro-mechanical engine for automotive or other use.
  • An electromagnetic engine is provided with a plurality of pistons and a plurality of corresponding electromagnets.
  • the pistons are each connected to a crankshaft and fabricated of a ferrous material.
  • the electromagnets are spaced from the pistons in alignment therewith.
  • An electrical power source is provided to power the electromagnets, and a control assembly is provided to control the sequence of energizing the electromagnets, so that by energizing the electromagnets, the pistons will be pulled toward the electromagnets in response to a timely applied electromagnetic field.
  • the force imparted on the piston is transmitted by the rod to the crankshaft, which provides power via an output shaft for desired uses.
  • FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an electromagnetic engine constructed in accordance with the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a portion of the electromagnetic engine of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 is a schematic view of a power distribution system.
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B are elevational views of a switch associated with a piston head and a corresponding electric magnet.
  • FIGS. 5A-5F are elevational views of the switch showing a sequence of operation.
  • FIG. 6 is a side elevational view of another embodiment of a piston assembly shown at the top of its stroke.
  • FIG. 7 is a side elevational view of the piston assembly of FIG. 6 shown at the bottom of its stroke.
  • the electromagnetic engine 10 includes a support structure 12, such as a frame or housing, a crankshaft 14 journaled to the support structure 12, at least one piston assembly 16 operably connected to the crankshaft 14, at least one electric magnet 18 for imparting reciprocating mechanical energy to the piston assembly 16 which in turn is translated into rotational motion of the crankshaft 14, and a power distribution system 20 (FIG. 3) for selectively energizing and de-energizing the electric magnet 18.
  • the support structure 12 may be manufactured of any non-magnetically interfering composition, such as a non-ferrous material like a high strength plastic, ceramic, or aluminum.
  • the support structure 12 may be in the form of a frame or base, as illustrated, so as to provide an open faced platform to reduce friction and heat related issues. However, the support structure may take the form of any functional structure, such as a more traditional engine block.
  • the crankshaft 14 is rotatably connected to the support structure 12 with a plurality of bearings 22.
  • One end of the crankshaft 14 is provided with a pulley 24 for translating the rotational motion imparted to the crankshaft 14 to a load source, such as a generator 26.
  • the pulley 24 may be provided with counterbalance weights for storing and releasing energy.
  • the crankshaft 14 is shown to be a conventional six-cylinder crankshaft; however, it will be appreciated that a variety of crankshaft designs may be utilized.
  • the engine 10 is shown to include a plurality of piston assemblies 16.
  • Each of the piston assemblies 16 has a piston arm 30, a piston rod 32, and a piston head 34.
  • One end of the piston arm 30 is journaled to the crankshaft 14 in a conventional manner and the other end of the piston arm 30 is pivotally connected to the piston rod 32.
  • the piston rod 32 is reciprocally supported on the support structure 12 by a piston rod housing or sleeve 38.
  • the piston head 34 is connected to the distal end of the piston rod 32 and manufactured of a ferrous material, such as iron or steel.
  • the electric magnets 18 are mounted to the support structure 12 so that the electric magnets 18 are axially aligned with a corresponding piston head 34 and maintained in a spaced apart relationship with respect to such piston head 34 so that the magnetic fields created by the electric magnets 18 provide an attractive force which tends to pull the piston assembly 16 toward the electric magnet 18.
  • the electric magnets 18 are shown to be mounted to the support structure 12 with a magnet mount 40 in a flat arrangement to provide for a low profile engine. However, it will be appreciated that other mounting arrangements such as V-shaped, inline, or radial are also possible, as well as any other arrangement that is capable of imparting rotational motion to the crankshaft 14.
  • the electric magnet 18 is energized so as to create an attractive force which pulls the piston assembly 16 toward the electric magnet 18. As the piston head 34 reaches the top of its stroke, the electric magnet 18 is de-energized. To take advantage of the full attractive force of the electric magnet 18, the electric magnet 18 is preferably positioned so that the electric magnet 18 is near the piston head 34 when the piston assembly 16 is at the top of its stroke (sometimes referred to as "top dead center"). By way of example, with a piston assembly that has a three inch stroke, the electric magnet may be spaced from the piston head a distance of about 1/16 of an inch when the piston assembly is at the top of its stroke. Such a distance is small enough for the piston head to receive the full attractive force of the electric magnet, yet great enough to avoid the electric magnet interfering with the reciprocating movement of the piston assembly.
  • the electric magnet 18 must be energized again by the power distribution system 20 to repeat the stroke cycle. While the "firing" sequence for the energizing and de- energizing of the electric magnets are critical to the operation of prior art electromagnetic engines, the engine 10 attempts to avoid the problems encountered when attempting to precisely time the energizing and de-energizing.
  • the power distribution system 20 is broadly illustrated as including a starter switch 50, a low voltage power source 52, such as a 12 or 24 volt battery, and a starter motor 54 operatively connected to the crankshaft 14 for actuating the engine 10.
  • the power distribution system 20 further includes a generator 56 operably connected to the crankshaft 14.
  • the generator 56 may be used to power an AC power bank 58.
  • the generator 56 is also connected to an AC/DC converter 60 which is connected to a manifold 62.
  • the manifold 62 is electrically connected to each of the electric magnets 18.
  • the electric magnets 18 preferably remain energized throughout the stroke with the exception of when the pistons are near or at top dead center and for a distance during the return stroke.
  • the power distribution system 20 is shown to further include a switch 70 associated with each piston head and electric magnet combination.
  • the switch includes a piston push arm 72 extending from the piston head 34 and a V-switch 74 provided with a contact plate 76 and pivotally connected to the electric magnet 18, and a hot contact member 78.
  • the contact plate 76 is electrically connected to the electric magnet 18, while the hot contact member 78 is electrically connected to a power source or manifold.
  • the electric magnet 18 is energized. As such, the piston head 34 is pulled toward the electric magnet 18.
  • the piston push arm 72 will bypass a first leg 79 of the V-switch 74 and contact a second leg 80.
  • the V-switch 74 will be rotated thereby causing the contact plate 76 of the second leg 80 to disengage from the hot contact member 78 and in turn de-energize the electric magnet 18.
  • the piston push arm 72 will travel a distance and then catch the first leg 79 of the V-switch 74 so as to cause the V-switch 74 to rotate and cause the contact plate of the second leg 80 to electrically contact the hot contact member 78 and reenergize the electric magnet 18.
  • the power distribution system 20 may be any suitable system for energizing and de-energizing the electric magnets 18 in a predetermined sequence.
  • a suitable power distribution system 20 may include a cam provided on the crankshaft 14 that actuates a series of switches (e.g., proximity switches) in a desired sequence.
  • switches e.g., proximity switches
  • the number of piston assemblies that may be employed in the engine 10 may be varied.
  • the moving parts may be lubricated in any conventional manner, such as a drip oil system or a pressure oil system.
  • FIGS. 6-7 illustrate another embodiment of a piston assembly 100.
  • the piston assembly 100 includes a piston rod 102 and a piston head 104.
  • the piston head 104 is supported on the support structure 12 such that the piston head 104 travels along an angular path between the top of its stroke or at a top dead center (FIG. 6) and the bottom of its stroke (FIG. 7).
  • a lower end of the piston head 104 is pivotally connected to the support structure 12 with a hinge 106, or any other suitable pivot connector, so that the piston head 104 is in a face-to-face relationship with the electric magnet 18 when the piston head 104 is at the top of its stroke (FIG.6) and angularly disposed relative to the electric magnet 18 otherwise, with the maximum angular displacement taking place at the bottom of the stroke.
  • the piston head 104 preferably is positioned near the electric magnet 18 when the piston head 104 is at the top of its stroke in a manner similar to that described above in reference to the piston assembly 16.
  • the piston rod 102 has one end journaled to the crankshaft 14 in a conventional manner.
  • the other end of the piston rod 102 is pivotally connected to the piston head 104 with a hinge 108, or any other suitable pivot connector, so that the piston rod 102 transmits a rotational force to the crankshaft 14 in response to the angular movement of the piston head 104.
  • the piston rod 102 is pivotally connected to the piston head 104 at a location diametrically opposed to where the piston head 104 is pivotally connected to the support structure 12.
  • the piston rod 102 may be attached to the piston head 104 at any location to achieve a desired stroke length.
  • the piston rod 102 may be constructed such that its length is adjustable.
  • the piston rod 102 may be provided with a turnbuckle assembly 110 (FIGS. 6 and 7) or any other suitable adjustment mechanism.
  • the piston rod 102 is pivotally connected to the piston head 104, the piston rod 102 is not required to be reciprocally supported on the support structure 12.

Abstract

Moteur électromagnétique comprenant une pluralité de pistons et une pluralité d'électroaimants correspondants. Chacun des pistons est relié à un vilebrequin et fabriqué en matière non ferreuse. Les électroaimants sont espacés des pistons et en alignement avec eux. Une source d'énergie électrique est mise en place pour alimenter les électroaimants et un ensemble de commande est là pour commander la séquence de la mise sous tension des électroaimants, de sorte que suite à cette alimentation des électroaimants les pistons seront tirés vers les électroaimants en réponse à un champ électromagnétique opportunément appliqué. La force exercée sur le piston est transmise par la bielle au vilebrequin qui, via un arbre de sortie, fournit de la puissance pour les usages souhaités.
