Abstract: A magnetic drive includes a base plate, an energy source mounted to the base plate, a control unit, a first magnetic field generator, and a switching circuit. The energy source and the first magnetic field generator are interconnected by the switching circuit. The control unit is configured to control the switching circuit to provide energy to the first magnetic field generator. The first magnetic field generator is configured to generate a magnetic field when being supplied with energy. The control unit is configured to control the switching unit to achieve a desired polarity of the generated magnetic field to interact with the external magnetic field so that a rotational force selectively in clockwise or counterclockwise direction is generated to rotate the first magnetic field generator within the external magnetic field in a desired direction of rotation.

Abstract: A magnetic field propulsion unit includes a magnetic field generating device with multiple conductive lines conduct a current to generate a magnetic field; a contact breaker arrangement individually transitions each of the multiple conductive lines from a conductive state to a non-conductive state; an energy supply unit provides the magnetic field generating device with electrical energy; and a control unit controls the energy supply unit so that energy supply to each individual conductive line is controlled and control the contact breaker arrangement. The multiple conductive lines are arranged along a longitudinal axis. The control unit supplies a first conductive line with electrical energy so that a first magnetic field surrounding the first conductive line is generated, transitions the first conductive line to a non-conductive state, and supplies a second conductive line with electrical energy so that a second magnetic field is generated.
