  • Patent number: 11239729
    Abstract: A two-stroke electromagnetic has a busbar, a magnetic field generator, a piston, a crankshaft, a connecting linkage, and a power source. The magnetic field generator may be a permanent magnet or a solenoid. The power source provides electric current to the busbar and the solenoid. The piston is positioned concentrically with the busbar, which produces a magnetic field upon receiving current flow from the power source. The magnetic field generator is connected atop the piston and oriented orthogonal to the magnetic field generated by current flow through the busbar, so that interaction of the two magnetic fields produces a downward force on the piston, which is connected to the crankshaft by the connecting linkage.

  • Patent number: 8232690
    Abstract: The present invention replaces the internal combustion engine utilizing a conventional 12 voltage system that is used in automobiles today. The combustion engine can be a 90 degree V-Type or Inline type of cylinder block. This magnetic drive engine of the present invention comprises a head assembly supported by a cylinder engine block. The cylinder block houses the pistons and the head assembly houses a plurality of corresponding plug assemblies. Each plug assembly has an electromagnet on its bottom end which switches polarity based upon the polarity sent by the sensors on the crankshaft. By integrating the mechanics and the electromagnetism needed to push and pull the magnets on the pistons, the plug assembly is a staging area, for the coils and rods (mediums), to initiate the changing of polarity. A computer controls the switching of polarity and voltage needed for top performance.

  • Patent number: 7239052
    Abstract: A magnetic actuator. A yoke includes a first opening and a second opening, a frame, and a path. A first magnet is disposed in the first opening in the vicinity of the frame. A second magnet is disposed in the second opening in the vicinity of the frame. A coil comprises a wire surrounding the path. A light shield is connected to an end of the coil. A guiding element disposed outside the path is connected to an end of the coil. When current passes through the coil, the coil moves along the path by magnetic induction between the first magnet and the second magnet such that the iris diaphragm is adjustable by the light shield. When there is no current through the coil, dynamic force produced by the guiding element returns the light shield to its original position.

  • Patent number: 6700253
    Abstract: The present invention is a motor which has a motor casing (5) and a reduction gearing casing (7) integrally formed, a hole (8) formed on a portion shared by these casings, through which an output shaft (3a) of a rotor (3) extends from the motor casing side to the reduction gearing casing side, and a lubrication oil (9) filling the reduction gearing casing. And, a method for producing a motor comprises the step of charging a resin (11) into and curing it in the motor casing to adhere the resin to a coil of an armature and the inner surface of the motor casing. Besides, the motor casing (5) has a first casing member (510), a second casing member (520) and a third casing member (530) for covering a control section (4), and the first casing member is assembled with the second casing member, and the first casing member is assembled with the third casing member.

  • Patent number: 6249065
    Abstract: An electromagnetic actuator including a fixed stator having two poles. The stator includes one or two excitation coils. The actuator further includes a mobile part provided with thin permanent magnets magnetized along an air gap direction. The mobile member includes at least two independent elements which are each mobile along directions parallel to the air gap plane intersection and the fixed stator median plane, in opposite directions. Each of the mobile parts has three thin magnets alternately magnetized, which are either integral or not with a yoke made of soft material. The thin magnets of the mobile elements are magnetized along a direction opposite to the corresponding thin magnets of the second mobile element or of the adjacent element, the yokes defining with a fixed stator part a yoke.

  • Patent number: 4743178
    Abstract: A non-linear, electromagnetic, vibration compression mechanism comprising a non-linear electromagnetic vibration device and a piston-cylinder, plunger-cylinder, or membrance type pump. A reciprocating compression section of the device may be axially arranged at a front or rear portion of the electromagnetic vibration device to form a coaxial compression device. Compression elements may also be installed on the lateral right and left sides or top and bottom of the electromagnetic vibrator to act non-coaxially but in parallel with the vibrator. The electromagnetic vibrator may drive one compression cylinder or several cylinders simultaneously. The reciprocating fluid compression device of the instant invention may be used to compress gas as well as liquid.

  • Patent number: 4565497
    Abstract: An actuator is described for use in a pump having a pump chamber whose contents are expelled by movement of a pair of pusher plates toward one another. The actuator includes opposed solenoid armatures which are operable for movement between open and closed positions. The armatures are each operatively connected to an associated pusher plate by a main spring which is attached at one end to the back end of the armature, extends through a front-to-back slot in an armature core, and is connected at its opposite end to the pusher plate. A pair of preload springs carried on each armature and disposed on either side of the associated main spring acts to hold the main spring in a prestressed condition prior to solenoid actuation.

  • Patent number: 4457673
    Abstract: A pump is described in which a flexible enclosure defines a pump chamber whose contents are expelled by movement of a pusher plate engaged with the enclosure. The pusher plate is moved by an elongate beam spring interconnecting the pusher plate with a solenoid drive mechanism. Solenoid actuation causes flexing of the beam spring from a relatively less stressed to a relatively more stressed position, the increased stress in the spring being relieved by pusher element movement. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a symmetrical arrangement of opposed pusher elements and associated beam springs.

  • Patent number: 4384829
    Abstract: A pump is described in which a flexible enclosure defines a pump chamber and in which the contents of the pump chamber are expelled by movement of a pair of opposed pusher elements engaged with the enclosure. The pusher elements are displaced by at least one pair of beam springs, each of which is pivotally supported at one end and is engaged with one of the pusher elements at the other end. The ends of the beam springs opposite the pusher elements are pivoted by actuation of symmetrical solenoid armatures, causing each of the springs to be stressed. Relief of the spring stress forces the pusher elements toward each other. De-energization of the solenoid armatures permits the beam springs to pivot back to the original position upon filling of the pump chamber.
