AI summary

A magnetic motor comprising a timing controller and at least one cylinder having a piston, an upper cylinder head, and a lower cylinder head is disclosed. The piston, upper cylinder head, and lower cylinder head each include a set of one or more magnets characterized by a common pattern. The one or more magnets in the piston, the upper cylinder head, and lower cylinder head comprise poles oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The piston oscillates linearly in the cylinder but does not rotate, while the upper and lower cylinder heads rotate in place but do not move linearly. The timing controller is configured to vary the phase between longitudinal oscillation of the piston and angular oscillation of the upper and lower cylinder heads to optimally drive the piston up and down in the cylinder.
