  • Publication number: 20170179777
    Abstract: A motor device utilizing gravitational and magnetic forces in conjunction with a manual user input of energy. The motor device includes a support frame configured to support a plurality of L-shaped magnetic strips with an axle disposed in a horizontal orientation thereacross. A plurality of levers are mounted to the axle by a linear bearing having an arm slidably disposed therein. The arm has a magnet at each end that is repelled by the magnetic strips, causing the repelled end of the arm to slide through the linear bearing and elongating the opposing end of the arm. This creates an unbalanced fulcrum thereby rotating the arm. As the arm of the first lever rotates, the axle rotates causing all subsequent levers to rotate thereby driving the motor.
