Abstract: The inventive magnet motor comprises at least two magnets (1, 2), as well as at least one armature (3) that can be displaced along a linear axis (Y-Y) and is preferably associated with a stationary stator (4, 5). The armature (3) and the stator (4, 5) may be realized in the form of a linear generator. At least one first magnet (2, 6) is arranged on the armature (3). At least one polarity-reversible second magnet (1, 7) is arranged along said axis (Y-Y) in such a way that it is not dependent on the motion of the linearly displaceable armature (3). The polarity reversal of the second magnet (1, 7) is realized due to its rotation about a second axis (X-X) extending coaxial to the first axis (Y-Y). Depending on its polarization (S, N), the first magnet (2, 6) is respectively attracted (11) or repelled (12) by the face side of the armature (3) such that the armature (3) can be displaced along said axis (Y-Y) due to the magnetic force.
