  • Patent number: 7576460
    Abstract: An energy conversion system that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy, and with certain power supplies can convert solar energy into mechanical energy. It operates on a timed direct current pulse and its configuration causes a magnetic field to align with a rotational shaft, two rotors, and one or more stationary field pieces each having a coil. One rotor has a spherical configuration and the second rotor mounted on the same shaft has an arcuate configuration with truncated ends. A coil can be mounted between the two rotors. The offset position of field coils allows for higher torque in low to high rpm ranges. The spherical rotor shape was chosen for ease of construction, mass in a condensed space, less gyroscopic effects than flat flywheels, and positive effects of placement in magnetic circuit. Since there is only one major moving part, the present invention is simple, long-lasting, and virtually problem-free.
