Abstract: An apparatus for the conversion of energy has a rotatable rotor mounted within a stationary stator. The rotor has a main rotor portion and several rotor magnet assemblies mounted for radial, reciprocating lateral movement relative to the main rotor portion. Each rotor magnet assembly includes a movable arm and a rotor magnet mounted to the outermost end or outboard end of the arm. The stator includes a peripheral mount or housing and a series of stator magnets coupled to the peripheral housing. The stator magnets has the same polarity as the adjacent rotor magnet. The stator magnets and peripheral housing are arranged in a somewhat spiral configuration between a first or starting end and a second or finishing end and has a space therebetween. The starting end is positioned distally from the rotor while the finishing end is positioned proximate the rotor. A method for conversion of energy is disclosed.
