Abstract: A combination device for developing a mechanical output from electrical energy which uses at least one electrical magnet solenoid, and preferably a plurality of same, together with an associated timing mechanism for actively controlling the time and degree of energization of said electrical magnet(s). Preferably at least one of the electrical magnetic solenoid structures may be provided with an air compressor structure for increasing the normal atmospheric pressure to a desired pressure.

Abstract: A magnetically operable engine or power plant embodying a rotary crankshaft having two or more offset cranks which, by means of respective connecting rods pivoted thereto, and also to the sliding cores or armatures of electromagnets, are actuated to apply torque to the crankshaft for driving purposes. Electrical current is supplied to the magnet windings by fixed distributor switches which are successively operated by one or more cams effectively mounted on the crankshaft, the switches receiving pulses of current in timed relationship and in such a manner that torque is continuously applied to the crankshaft.
