 【Claim 1

  The principle of a motor driven by the magnetic force of permanent magnets without any electric power supply

 

Detailed Description of the Invention

 【0001】 【Field of Industrial Application

  This invention relates to the principle of rotary motor and linear motor, which depends solely on the combination arrangement of permanent magnets as its driving force, eliminating the electromagnet used in conventional motors.

 

 【0002】 【Prior Art

  Conventional motors are a transducer that transforms electrical energy into kinetic energy.  They are driven by the varying magnetic field obtained by controlling the electric current carried by the electromagnet.  This means that the electrical power source is essential to activate these motors.

 

 【0003】 【Problem to be Solved by the Invention

        Different from the conventional types, the motor of this invention does not need any electric power source, since it utilizes the combination arrangement of permanent magnets, as detailed in the following paragraphs, and directly transforms their magnetic force into the driving force of the motor.

 

 【0004】 【Solution for the Problem

  The motor of this invention comprises a seamless ring of permanent magnet (1) having north pole (or south pole) on the internal surface, and the opposite polarity on the external surface.  It also comprises a rotating shaft (3) penetrating the center of this permanent magnet ring.  Rotors  (2) made of permanent magnet are fixed to the rotating shaft via supporting member (4) , so that the rotors (2) are set in the vicinity of the internal surface of the ring (1).

  In this arrangement, the permanent magnet of the rotor (2) must have polarity aligned with the tangent line of the ring (1).

  Following description will be based on the two types of rotary motors.  One of them shall be called “internal rotary motor” in which the rotors (2) are set at the internal face of the ring (1), while the other shall be called “external rotary motor” in which the rotors (2) are set at the external face of the ring (1).   In both cases, the ring (1) will be fixed, and the rotors (2) will move along the ring.

 

 【0005】 【Operation

  The permanent magnet ring (1) is considered to be a series of small magnets M1 that has magnetic moment of force M1.   Also, the permanent magnet rotor (2) is considered to be a single magnet M2 that has magnetic moment of force M2.   Then, the force exerted by one of the small magnets M1 onto the magnet M2 may be described as shown in Fig.2 , which can be expressed by the equation:

(See Electromagnetism Workshop with Detailed Explication (Kyoritsu Publishing Co., Ltd., ISBN4-320-03022-2) Question #4, Page 193 for a full account of this equation.)

  Now, the distance “r” between the centers of M1 and M2 in Fig. 3 is obtained by:

where, R0 is the radius of the ring (1), and  r0 is the distance between the centers of M2 and M3.

Further, θ and θ are obtained respectively by:

where, ψ is the angle between the Y-axis and the straight line connecting the centers of M1 and M2 .

Consequently, Fr and Fθ in Fig.3 are determined.

  Fr and Fθ obtained above can be divided into X-axis and Y-axis elements denoted by Fx and Fy respectively through the following conversion formula.:

Y-axis element Fy obtained by the formula above is the driving force for the rotors (2).

The driving force Fy , calculated on the following assumption, is graphically given in Fig. 4by the solid line.

These assumptions are also applied for obtaining the curves in Fig. and  Fig. 8.

The force expressed by the solid line in Fig. 4, however, is the force exerted by a single magnet M1 onto the magnet M2.  Therefore, this must be integrated over one full rotation of the rotating shaft (3) to obtain the overall driving force exerted on the rotors (2) (expressed by dotted curve in Fig. 4).  The curve shows that the integral along the Y-axis is negative (at θ=0.5 on the chart), which means that the rotors (2) will continuously rotate to the minus direction on the Y-axis.

 

 【0006】 【Embodiment

  The calculation below is for external rotary motor performed in the same manner based on the principle shown in  Fig. 5.

The curves in Fig. 6are obtained from the calculation.  It demonstrates that the rotors (2) will move continuously to the plus direction along the Y-axis.  In this case, it would be more practical as a motor structure to fix the rotor (2) and rotate the ring (1).

 

  Another possible embodiment will be a linear motor, which will be achieved by cutting the ring (1) of this rotary motor at one point, and unfold it to make a straight belt of magnet. The driving force of such linear motor may be calculated in the same manner as above, based on the illustrated principle shown in Fig. 7.   Specific calculation is indicated below.

The curves in Fig. 8are obtained from the calculation.  It demonstrates that the rotor (2) will move straight  in the plus direction along the Y-axis to constitute a practical linear motor, although the driving force is smaller than that obtained by the internal rotary motor.

 

 【0007】 【Advantages of the invention

  As described above, this motor is an energy transducer that transforms the magnetic energy directly into the kinetic energy.  Besides proving the essential functions of the motor, it is amazingly safe and clean, and is qualified as one of the most stable and long-lasting energy sources.   The motor of this invention will surly enjoy wide range of application.
