Magnet Motor Idea... need feedback

[jaszed]

I had been thinking the same idea but, wasn't ready to post it. That was how I found this site, looking to see who had already tried this.

Basically, the pistons in the combustion engine would be replaced with a magnet and the where the valves/spark plugs are, would be an opposing magnet.

I was trying to find a cheap model V-8 engine so I could try this concept.

Magnets could also both be electromagnets, so you could maybe reverse polarity and have power on both the "push" and "pull" strokes for each cylider. And, unlike a four stroke, where you only get power every other rotation, this would be a constant push and pull through the entire rotation.

Not over-unity, but mine was a premise to power the automobile. 12-V car battery/starter begins the rotation and then the cars generator takes over to provide the power to drive the electromagnets.

But, even so, this could still drive a larger generator that should be capable of producing more output energy then required to drive it, say by including a transmission that shifts gears to reduce torque required to drive the generator.

Now, just to find that plastic engine with the right sized electromagnets!

I was on a site the other day and I am sure the link came from one of the threads in here.
Basically it was a crank and a piston.

On top of the piston was a magnet and in the head above the other piston was another magnet that repelled the piston downwards.

As the crank rotated it pushed a piece of magnetic shielding in the two magnets and the piston went back to the top, as it hit top end the shield was again mechanically slidden out of the way and so on.

Nice animation as well. Maybe someone else remembers it and can post the link.

i did a quick search here at overunity.com and i think this is the thread you are talking about.

Thanks for that Freeenergy

But was not that one.

In the thread there was a web link that took you to a really nice animation showing the full workings.
Will dig through my favourites in IE when I get a chance, I am sure I bookmarked it.

So... a camshaft and piston approach to a self powerd magnet motor is a logical one after all?

...and here I was starting to think I would get laughed at... hehe
