| Abstract
A magnetic drive apparatus includes first and second magnet carriers carrying first and second permanent magnet arrangements. An intermediate magnet carrier disposed between the first and second magnet carriers carries a third permanent magnet arrangement. The magnet carriers are arranged for rotation relative to each other such that the magnet arrangements produce magnetic interactions that result in power stroke forces causing the magnet carriers to undergo relative reciprocation in first and second stroke directions during power zone portions of the relative rotation. The magnetic interactions impart substantially no power stroke forces during dead zone portions of the relative rotation. The dead zones include magnet carrier relative rotation positions wherein opposing magnetic poles are mutually coaxially aligned but produce a substantially equal balance of push and pull magnetic forces. The apparatus may be synchronized so that the dead zones coincide with top dead center and bottom dead center relative reciprocation positions.
Claim:
A magnetic drive apparatus, comprising: a first magnet carrier carrying a first permanent magnet arrangement; a second magnet carrier carrying a second permanent magnet arrangement; an intermediate magnet carrier disposed between said first and second magnet carriers and carrying a third permanent magnet arrangement; said intermediate magnet carrier and said first and second magnet carriers being arranged for rotation relative to each other (relative rotation); said first permanent magnet arrangement, said second permanent magnet arrangement and said third permanent magnet arrangement being configured to produce magnetic interactions when said intermediate magnet carrier and said first and second magnet carriers undergo said relative rotation; said magnetic interactions producing power stroke forces that cause said intermediate magnet carrier and said first and second magnet carriers to undergo reciprocation relative to each (relative reciprocation) other in first and second stroke directions during power zone portions of said relative rotation; said magnetic interactions producing substantially no power stroke forces during dead zone portions of said relative rotation, said dead zones comprising relative rotational positions of said magnet carriers wherein opposing magnetic poles of said first permanent magnet arrangement, said second permanent magnet arrangement and said third permanent magnet arrangement are mutually coaxially aligned but produce a substantially equal balance of push and pull magnetic forces; and said relative rotation and said relative reciprocation being synchronizable so that said dead zones can be made to occur proximate to top dead center and bottom dead center positions of said relative reciprocation, and so that said power zones occur between said top dead center and bottom dead center relative reciprocation positions. |
