Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing magnet-driven motor designs require electrical energy to power electromagnets and lack consistency in energy output, with previous permanent magnet motor designs not producing practical or consistent energy levels as magnets move along their paths relative to each other.
Innovation Solution
A motor design featuring a main shaft with rotating members and pistons, where the rotating members have radially extending arms with magnets oriented perpendicular to their longitudinal direction, and pistons with magnets moving in a reciprocating motion relative to the shaft, providing a consistent magnetic force for rotation, potentially using both permanent and electromagnets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If permanent magnets are used to eliminate electrical energy consumption, then energy efficiency is improved, but the motor fails to produce practical and consistent energy output
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs dynamic adjustment of magnetic field interactions through the reciprocating motion of pistons with magnets. The pistons move between first and second positions to modulate the magnetic coupling between stationary and rotating magnets, creating a dynamic system that maintains consistent energy output while using only permanent magnets. This dynamic mechanism resolves the contradiction by transforming static magnetic fields into controlled dynamic interactions.
Solution Approach 2:
The motor utilizes periodic reciprocating motion of pistons that move between two positions to create consistent rotational force. The periodic approach and retreat of pistons with magnets relative to rotating members generates a continuous, consistent energy output pattern. This periodic action ensures reliable energy production while maintaining energy efficiency through permanent magnet usage.
2Force
If electromagnets are used to generate magnetic fields, then magnetic field strength is improved, but electrical energy consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The motor design employs permanent magnets on both stationary and rotating members that generate magnetic fields without external electrical power. The system is self-sufficient, using the magnetic fields generated by the permanent magnets themselves to drive the reciprocating motion of pistons and create rotational force. This self-service approach eliminates electrical energy consumption while maintaining sufficient magnetic field strength through optimized magnet placement and orientation.
3Device complexity
If magnets are moved along fixed paths, then mechanical simplicity is improved, but energy output consistency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms fixed path motion into dynamic reciprocating motion. Instead of magnets following simple fixed trajectories, the pistons with magnets reciprocate between two positions, dynamically adjusting their distance from rotating members. This dynamic motion pattern maintains mechanical simplicity while ensuring consistent energy output through controlled variation in magnetic coupling strength during each reciprocating cycle.
