Solution Overview

Problem

Existing magnetic motor technologies are inefficient in achieving continuous motion using permanent magnets as a power source, as they rely on uncontrolled repulsive forces between magnets, leading to imbalance and limited movement.

Innovation Solution

A magnetic polarizer arrangement that utilizes pulse-like, controlled sinusoidal polarization to convert passive magnetic field energy into unidirectional torque energy, allowing for controlled translational or rotational motion by eliminating negative repulsive forces and sustaining positive repulsive forces between permanent magnets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Duration of action of moving object

If uncontrolled repulsive forces between permanent magnets are utilized, then continuous motion can be achieved, but the motion becomes unbalanced and limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvecontinuous motionVSAvoidmotion balance

Core Design Contradiction:

Duration of action of moving objectVSStability of the object's composition

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies periodic action by implementing a polarizer element that oscillates between two positions in a periodic manner. This oscillation modulates the magnetic field interactions between permanent magnets, creating a sequence of attractive and repulsive forces that repeat cyclically. The periodic nature of this action enables continuous balanced motion, resolving the contradiction between achieving continuous motion and maintaining motion stability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The polarizer element serves as an intermediary between the permanent magnets, mediating their magnetic interactions. By introducing this intermediate component that can be positioned in different states, the system transforms direct uncontrolled repulsive forces into controlled alternating forces. The polarizer mediates the magnetic field to produce balanced alternating attractive and repulsive forces, enabling stable continuous motion.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Use of energy by stationary object

If passive magnetic field energy is utilized, then the system operates without external power source, but the energy cannot be converted into unidirectional torque

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvepassive magnetic field energyVSAvoidtorque energy

Core Design Contradiction:

Use of energy by stationary objectVSPower

Solution Approach 1:

The periodic oscillation of the polarizer element converts static passive magnetic field energy into dynamic unidirectional torque. The periodic modulation creates a sequence of force impulses that, when properly timed and directed, sum up to produce net unidirectional rotational force. This transforms the otherwise balanced passive magnetic interactions into productive torque that can perform work.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #19Periodic action

Solution Approach 2:

The system maintains continuous useful action by ensuring the polarizer element continuously oscillates between its two positions, creating an unbroken sequence of alternating magnetic forces. This continuous periodic action ensures that torque is generated continuously rather than intermittently, enabling sustained power output from the passive magnetic field energy without interruption.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #20Continuity of useful action
