Abstract: A flux machine has plural coil assemblies and plural magnet sets arranged in mutual close proximity and circularly about a central axis. Either one of the coil assemblies and the magnet sets are supported by at least one axle which is aligned with the central axis, and either one of the coil assemblies and magnet sets executes rotary motion about the central axis when electrical current is present in the coil assemblies. Magnetic flux of the magnet sets is directed axially and radially while machine rotation is orthogonal to the direction of flux. A plurality of magnets in each magnet set are supported by one or another of a plurality of coaxially aligned axles so that the flux machine may operate as an electrical motor, as an electrical generator, or both at the same time.

Abstract: An electrical energy storage device comprises a housing having a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side; a first electrode disposed in the housing adjacent the first side; a second electrode disposed in the housing adjacent the second side; and an electrolyte mixture disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode, the electrolyte mixture containing a plurality of ions. In an implementation, a channel disposed in the housing permits ions to flow adjacent to the first end and a barrier in the housing prevents ions from flowing adjacent to the second end. In another implementation, some of the ions are magnetic. In a further implementation, some of the ions have a greater density than other ions. Charging of the electrical energy storage device is enhanced by applying a magnetic field to the electrical energy storage device or rotating the device.

Abstract: An electromagnetic machine includes a housing, an axle coupled to the housing in a rotatable fashion, a stator assembly disposed generally within the housing, the stator assembly including a stator plate and a stator bearing coupled to the axle such that the stator assembly is rotatable about the axle, a rotor assembly fixed to the axle and disposed generally within the housing and including a rotor housing that defines a circumferentially extending channel that is sized to receive a portion of the stator assembly therein; and a locking mechanism configured to selectively prevent and permit rotation of the stator assembly about the axle via the stator bearing. The housing can include an access window defined therein such that the stator assembly is accessible through the access window.

Abstract: A magnet machine may translate or rotate with one element stationary and another element moving. One element has mounted thereon a plurality of magnets arranged in a sequenced array extensive in the direction of operation, the magnets fixed with N-pole magnet faces opposing S-pole magnet faces across gaps between the magnets, and side faces arranged in a plane. A second element has a single or integrated magnet mounted with one pole face positioned parallel to, and gapped apart from the plane of the plurality of magnets. This pole face is disrupted by an array of spaced apart grooves. The direction of motion is in the plane. A solenoid may be mounted within one or more of the grooves so provide a staring force or a braking force to the moving element.
