Abstract: An axial magnetic cam comprising at least one of a first permanent magnet element supported for rotational motion along an axis provides a continuous, circular magnetic field area path and work-space wherein said path includes a magnetic incline. At least one of a second permanent magnet element having a magnetic field is supported for reciprocating motion within operational proximity of the at least one first magnetic element; wherein said reciprocating motion is substantially parallel with said output axis. The at least one of a first magnetic element. and the at least one of a second reciprocating magnetic element provide a constant magnetic force there between without field cross-over, pass-by, circumvention, or disconnect and without contact of said elements; wherein one continuously follows or actuates the other in response to a motive force; thus greatly reducing or eliminating friction, wear, noise, and complexity.

Abstract: A non-linear magnetic harmonic motion converter apparatus for transferring non-linear motion into rotational motion for producing work from an interaction of at least two magnetic fields. An axial shaft is disposed in rotating relationship with at least one gimbal supported magnet that reciprocates in relation to the axial shaft. At least one rotor magnet is disposed to rotate in relation to the axial shaft in response to non-linear movement of the at least one gimbal supported magnet. A plurality of rotor magnet units may be proximally disposed to rotate about separate axial shafts, with each rotor magnet unit having a rotor magnetic field influenced by the non-linear movement of the at least one gimbal supported magnet disposed proximal to each rotor magnet unit. Movement of the each gimbal supported magnet creates repulsion and attraction of each respective rotor magnet, with inducement of axial shaft rotation, thereby producing rotational movement that is harnessed to perform work.
