US Patent 7,151,332 19th December 2006 Inventor: Stephen Kundel
MOTOR HAVING RECIPROCATING AND ROTATING PERMANENT MAGNETS
This patent describes a motor powered mainly by permanent magnets. This system uses a rocking frame to
position the moving magnets so that they provide a continuous turning force on the output shaft.
ABSTRACT
A motor which has a rotor supported for rotation about an axis, and at least one pair of rotor magnets spaced
angularity about the axis and supported on the rotor, at least one reciprocating magnet, and an actuator for
moving the reciprocating magnet cyclically toward and away from the pair of rotor magnets, and
consequently rotating the rotor magnets relative to the reciprocating magnet.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to the field of motors. More particularly, it pertains to a motor whose rotor is driven by
the mutual attraction and repulsion of permanent magnets located on the rotor and an oscillator.
Various kinds of motors are used to drive a load. For example, hydraulic and pneumatic motors use the flow
of pressurised liquid and gas, respectively, to drive a rotor connected to a load. Such motors must be
continually supplied with pressurised fluid from a pump driven by energy converted to rotating power by a
prime mover, such as an internal combustion engine. The several energy conversion processes, flow losses
and pumping losses decrease the operating efficiency of motor systems of this type.
Conventional electric motors employ the force applied to a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic
field. In a d. c. motor the magnetic field is provided either by permanent magnets or by field coils wrapped
around clearly defined field poles on a stator. The conductors on which the force is developed are located on
a rotor and supplied with electric current. The force induced in the coil is used to apply rotor torque, whose
magnitude varies with the magnitude of the current and strength of the magnetic field. However, flux
leakage, air gaps, temperature effects, and the counter-electromotive force reduce the efficiency of the
motor.
Permanent dipole magnets have a magnetic north pole, a magnetic south pole, and magnetic fields
surrounding each pole. Each magnetic pole attracts a pole of opposite magnetic polarity. Two magnetic
poles of the same polarity repel each other. It is desired that a motor be developed such that its rotor is
driven by the mutual attraction and repulsion of the poles of permanent magnets.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
A motor according to the present invention includes a rotor supported for rotation about an axis, a first pair of
rotor magnets including first and second rotor magnets spaced angularly about the axis and supported on
the rotor, a reciprocating magnet, and an actuator for moving the reciprocating magnet cyclically toward and
away from the first pair of rotor magnets, and cyclically rotating the first pair of rotor magnets relative to the
reciprocating magnet. Preferably the motor includes a second pair of rotor magnets supported on the rotor,
spaced axially from the first pair of rotor magnets, the second pair including a third rotor magnet and a fourth
rotor magnet spaced angularly about the axis from the third rotor magnet. The reciprocating magnet is
located axially between the first and second rotor magnet pairs, and the actuator cyclically moves the
reciprocating magnet toward and away from the first and second pairs of rotor magnets.
The magnets are preferably permanent dipole magnets. The poles of the reciprocating magnet are arranged
such that they face in opposite lateral directions.
The motor can be started by manually rotating the rotor about its axis. Rotation continues by using the
actuator to move the reciprocating magnet toward the first rotor magnet pair and away from the second rotor
magnet pair when rotor rotation brings the reference pole of the first rotor magnet closer to the opposite pole
of the reciprocating magnet, and the opposite pole of the second rotor magnet closer to the reference pole of
the reciprocating magnet. Then the actuator moves the reciprocating magnet toward the second rotor
magnet pair and away from the first rotor magnet pair when rotor rotation brings the reference pole of the
third rotor magnet closer to the opposite pole of the reciprocating magnet, and the opposite pole of the fourth
rotor magnet closer to the reference pole of the reciprocating magnet.
A motor according to this invention requires no power source to energise a field coil because the magnetic
fields of the rotor and oscillator are produced by permanent magnets. A nine-volt d. c. battery has been
applied to an actuator switching mechanism to alternate the polarity of a solenoid at the rotor frequency. The
solenoid is suspended over a permanent magnet of the actuator mechanism such that rotor rotation and the
alternating polarity of a solenoid causes the actuator to oscillate the reciprocating magnet at a frequency and
phase relation that is most efficient relative to the rotor rotation.
The motor is lightweight and portable, and requires only a commercially available portable d. c. battery to
power an actuator for the oscillator. No motor drive electronics is required. Operation of the motor is
practically silent.
Various objects and advantages of this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from the
following detailed description of the preferred embodiment, when read in light of the accompanying
