The present invention relates generally to motors and, more specifically, to a magnetic motor. The magnetic motor comprises a housing having a plurality of bores forming cylinders whereupon an electromagnet impinges a magnetic force upon a cylinder piston to initiate a piston cycle. By drawing the cylinder piston toward the magnet and actuating positioning of a magnetic shield therebetween releasing the piston to travel by gravity and cam momentum through a repetitive cycle of piston attraction and piston release. This cycle thereby generates electrical power and mechanical power for a motor vehicle motive force.

Invention Objects & Goals

FIGURE 4
FIGURE 4 is a cross-sectional view of a bored cylinder 28 in the engine block 14 of the present invention 10 during the upstroke portion of a piston cycle. Shown is the present invention having a piston 30 reciprocatingly received within the cylinder 28 with compression rings 32 and oil rings 34 within the cylinder 28 and a brass sleeve 36 lining the interior walls of the cylinder 28 for increased efficiency. The upper end of the cylinder 28 is covered by a cylinder head 38, and an electromagnet 16 is secured within the cylinder head 38. A wire 22 delivers electrical energy to the electromagnet 16, which produces a magnetic force which impinges upon the piston 30, urging the piston 30 toward the electromagnet 16 via unhindered magnetic force. A magnetic shield within the cylinder 28 is actuatable between a first position shielding the piston 30 from the magnetic force produced by the electromagnet 16 and a second position exposing the piston 30 to the magnetic force produced by the electromagnet 16. Additionally shown is the cylinder 28 having a coat of insulation 42 to prevent injury from electric shock, compression rings 32. a brass sleeve 36 and an oil ring 34.
