Abstract: A magnetic motor comprises a plurality of electromagnets connected to an excitation circuit, and a rotor assembly having a plurality of permanent magnets around its periphery and arranged for angular movement. The permanent magnets are movable between the respective adjacent electromagnets. The electromagnets are selectively excitated through the excitation circuit for being magnetized to have the same pole as the pole of a respective one of the permanent magnets disposed closely adjacent to them whereby the rotor assembly is caused to angularly move under the influence of magnetic repulsive forces exerted between the respective closely adjacent electromagnets and permanent magnets.
