Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic propulsion motor comprising a magnetic drive assembly comprising a drive magnet, a rotating hub, and a motion magnet attached to the rotating hub to rotate the motion magnet proximate to the magnetic drive assembly. A driving force is applied to the magnetic drive assembly, which causes the drive magnet to rotate to a position proximal to the motion magnet when the motion magnet is in a position proximate to the magnetic drive assembly. This arrangement exerts a repelling force on the motion magnet from the drive magnet as the motion magnet rotates away from the magnetic drive assembly. The rotation of the drive magnet also rotates the drive magnet to a position distal to the motion magnet as the motion magnet approaches the position proximate to the magnet drive assembly thereby minimizes the repelling force exerted on the motion magnet from the drive magnet as the motion magnet rotates towards the magnetic drive assembly.

Still other aspects include disposing the column shaped CS circumferentially on surfaces of generally cylindrical shaped motor members. Such surfaces may oppose a second surface that is one of relatively rotational and relatively irrotational vis the surface.

Abstract: An electric motor includes a housing that receives multiple magnets that are circumferentially arranged in the housing. A resilient member has two inserted portions that are respectively inserted into gaps formed among the magnets. For example, four inserted portions of the two resilient members are respectively inserted into four gaps formed among four magnets, so that the inserted portions are resiliently deformed in the gaps. The inserted portions apply force to the magnets such that the magnets are circumferentially spaced from each other. Thus, the four magnets are urged onto an inner wall of the housing by the two resilient members. As a result, movement of the magnets is restricted in both of the circumferential direction and the axial direction of the housing. Therefore, the magnets can be maintained in the housing using a simple structure without increasing the number of components.

The bound bind member is accommodated in a groove portion formed in the housing.

The assembly includes a mechanical device for controlling relative movement between the components in first and second directions, while permitting relative movement between them in a third direction. At least one of the components, separated by a gap, has a magnetic source for creating a magnetic field extending across the gap and causing a first load in a direction opposing gravity exerted across the gap and against that component adapted to receive a supplemental load.

Either component may be the moving component or the one adapted to receive the supplemental load.
