Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Use of energy by moving object
If a conventional motor design is used, then the structure is simple, but the energy conversion efficiency is low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the magnet's position variable through oscillation. The magnet moves between a first position and a second position relative to the rotor, dynamically changing the magnetic field distribution to optimize energy conversion at different phases of rotor rotation, thereby improving efficiency without excessive complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements periodic action through the oscillating magnet that repeatedly moves between two positions. This periodic oscillation creates corresponding periodic variations in the magnetic field, which continuously optimize the interaction between the magnetic field and rotor magnets during each rotation cycle, enhancing energy conversion efficiency
2Use of energy by moving object
If the magnet oscillates between two positions, then the energy conversion efficiency is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges the oscillation mechanism with the existing motor structure. The oscillating magnet is integrated such that its movement is coordinated with the rotor rotation, combining two functions (oscillation and rotation) into a unified system that improves efficiency while minimizing additional complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses the magnetic field as an intermediary between the oscillating magnet and the rotor. The oscillating magnet modulates the magnetic field, which then interacts with the rotor magnets to produce torque. This intermediary approach allows efficient energy transfer without requiring direct mechanical contact or complex transmission mechanisms
3Force
If the magnetic field continuously interacts with the rotor magnet, then the torque is continuous, but the energy storage efficiency is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies periodic action by having the magnet oscillate between two positions rather than maintaining continuous interaction. During each oscillation cycle, the magnet stores energy at the extreme positions and releases it during the transition, creating periodic torque pulses that accumulate to produce continuous rotational motion while allowing energy storage during the oscillation phases
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements preliminary action by storing magnetic energy during the oscillation phases before the torque-generating interaction with the rotor. The magnet prepares the magnetic field configuration during its movement between positions, pre-positioning energy that will be converted to torque during specific phases of the cycle, thus maintaining continuous torque while preserving energy storage capability
