The rotor assembly includes a plurality of spokes (20) emanating from a central rotational axis (26), with high-performance magnetic coils (22) mounted on the outer end portions of the spokes.

A programmable system controller (24) controls the polarity of the magnetic coils (22) mounted on the ends of the spokes (20), as well as the operation of the generator (32) so as to power and constantly change the polarity of the magnetic coils as the rotor assembly rotates, thereby to cause the rotor assembly to rotate by virtue of interaction with the Earth's magnetic field.

Abstract: A Fuel Cell Motor, or, Fuel Cell Engine, and system are described. A central output shaft is mounted with a novel set of rotationally capable fuel cells, of various shapes and configurations. These fuel cells when supplied by hydrogen and oxygen fuels generate electricity. That electricity so generated is channeled to electromagnet winding poles that are mounted on top of these rotationally capable fuel cells and also to the nearby stator electromagnetic poles. The current in the armature electromagnet poles produces magnetic fields which interacts with the congruent magnetic fields produced by the stator electromagnetic winding poles, to cause a rotational motion on the armature poles, adjoined to the central output shaft; henceforth, accomplishing the operations of an electric motor.

Abstract: An energy producing apparatus utilizing magnetic pistons is provided. Permanent magnets of like polarity are employed within a cylinder of each piston and upon a top portion of said piston. The like polarity pistons have a natural desire to repel one another. A ferromagnetic slipper unit is inserted into a gap in said cylinder between the permanent magnets of like polarity to interfere with said magnetic repulsive field and to cause a magnetic attractive field. Each piston is attached to a push rod which in turn is attached to shaft and flywheel system. The change in magnetic fields from repulsion to attraction cases the piston to push up and down and turn the shaft and flywheel system. Two pistons in coincidence can be used so that while one piston is repelling, the other is attracting causing an increase in motive power.

Abstract: A spindle design for a hard disk drive assembly constructed in accordance with the present invention includes a significantly large gap between the rotating, ferromagnetic hub with its permanent magnet rotor and the rotating sleeve of the fluid bearing journal member. The large gap may be filled with a medium, such as air, or a non-permeable material. The large gap is preferably on the order of several hundred microns. Because of the large gap, the magnetic flux leakage from the rotating hub members and sleeve into the stationary shaft at the center of the spindle is negligible. Consequently, iron loss in the shaft caused by magnetic flux leakage into the shaft is reduced to acceptable noise levels.
