Patent number: 9118221Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a magnetic motor including a drive magnet, a motion magnet, and an acceleration field. The drive magnet includes magnetic shielding, typically on a portion thereof, altering the magnetic field of the drive magnet. In some embodiments, the motion magnet has a cross-section that is generally in the shape of a ‘V’ or ‘A’. The acceleration field is created by the interaction between the drive magnet and the motion magnet as the motion magnet is passed through the altered magnetic field of the drive magnet. The altered magnetic field of the drive magnet may often be near a first end of the drive magnet. In further embodiments, the motion magnet can be operably coupled to an output shaft and rotate around the central axis of the output shaft. The present disclosure, also relates to a device, including the magnetic motor, for generating energy from a turbine.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2013Date of Patent: August 25, 2015Assignee: Future Force, LLCInventor: Mike Tkadlec

Publication number: 20120080887Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for storing energy, such as wind energy, and/or generating generally efficient energy from hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). A method for creating electricity may include receiving hydrogen peroxide and decomposing the it to produce steam, which may be used to drive a steam engine. The method may include generating electricity from a wind turbine for use in the production of the hydrogen peroxide. The steam engine may be coupled to a magnetic drive assembly, which may include a first drive magnet having magnetic shielding on a portion thereof, a first motion magnet, and a first acceleration field created by the interaction between the first drive magnet and first motion magnet as the first motion magnet is passed through an altered magnetic field of the first drive magnet. The output of the magnetic drive assembly may be used to drive a generator for creating electricity.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2011Publication date: April 5, 2012Inventor: Mike Tkadlec

Patent number: 7777377Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic propulsion motor comprising a magnetic drive assembly comprising a drive magnet, a rotating hub, and a motion magnet attached to the rotating hub to rotate the motion magnet proximate to the magnetic drive assembly. A driving force is applied to the magnetic drive assembly, which causes the drive magnet to rotate to a position proximal to the motion magnet when the motion magnet is in a position proximate to the magnetic drive assembly. This arrangement exerts a repelling force on the motion magnet from the drive magnet as the motion magnet rotates away from the magnetic drive assembly. The rotation of the drive magnet also rotates the drive magnet to a position distal to the motion magnet as the motion magnet approaches the position proximate to the magnet drive assembly thereby minimizes the repelling force exerted on the motion magnet from the drive magnet as the motion magnet rotates towards the magnetic drive assembly.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2008Date of Patent: August 17, 2010Assignee: Future Force LLCInventor: Mike Tkadlec
