Abstract: A magnetically actuated reciprocating motor utilizes the stored energy of permanent magnets and an electromagnetic field to reciprocally drive a magnetic actuator. A converting mechanism converts the reciprocating motion of the magnetic actuator to rotary motion for powering a work object. A solenoid, comprising a nonferromagnetic spool having a tubular center section with a coil of wire wrapped around the center section, is connected to a source of power and a switching mechanism. The magnetic actuator has permanent magnets disposed inside a tubular shaft at each end thereof. The switching mechanism switches the magnetic polarity at the ends of the solenoid to alternatively repel and attract the permanent magnets. The shaft is reciprocatively received through the center section of the solenoid. A controlling mechanism interconnects an output shaft, rotatably powered by the magnetic actuator, and the switching mechanism to switch the polarity of the solenoid to drive the magnetic actuator.

Abstract: A magnetically actuated reciprocating motor utilizes the stored energy of rare earth magnets and an electromagnetic field provided by a solenoid to reciprocally drive a solenoid assembly. A converting mechanism, such as a connecting rod and crankshaft, converts the reciprocating motion of the solenoid assembly to power a work object. The solenoid assembly comprises a solenoid having a nonferromagnetic spool with a tubular center section and a coil of wire wrapped around the center section. The center section of the spool reciprocates over a fixed magnetic actuator having a permanent magnet at each end of an elongated tubular shaft. The two permanent magnets have extension members disposed in the shaft with inward ends that are in spaced apart relation to form a gap therebetween. A switching mechanism switches magnetic polarity at the ends of the solenoid so the solenoid assembly is alternatively repelled and attracted by the permanent magnets.

Abstract: A magnetically charged solenoid for use with a magnetically actuated reciprocating device, such as a motor or the like, having a magnetic actuator comprising an elongated shaft with permanent magnets positioned at each end of the shaft. The solenoid has a non-ferromagnetic spool with a center section defining an open center sized and configured to reciprocatively receive the shaft therein. A coil comprising electrically conductive wire is wrapped around the center section of the spool and electrically connected to a source of power to energize the solenoid with an axially charged electromagnetic field. A switching mechanism interconnecting the coil and source of power rapidly switches the magnetic polarities at the ends of the solenoid to alternatively attract and repel the permanent magnets to reciprocally drive the magnetic actuator, which may be used to rotate a crankshaft. A controlling mechanism operatively connected to the switching mechanism controls the operation thereof.
