btw, this is my first post ;D
ok i was trying to go to sleep tonight, i was thinking about how i need to work on my car engine thats been sitting at the shop for way to long... also i was thinking about magnets, internal combustion engines work on compression... ok so here is the basic setup,
a piston with a magnet insted of a piston head,
magnetic sheilding for area where this magnet will be traveling up and back down
the pushrod will rotate a flywheel with a strong magnet on the edge,
as the rotating flywheel will meet just past head on with the magnetic piston,
pushing the piston down, the magentic piston will be linked to this magnetic flywheel,
the magnetic sheilding is to ensure no interaction between magnets will occur untill the meet head on. i will try to get a scan of the scetch i drew, it makes much easyer to understand what im thinking...
i know it sounds basic and stupid, but the push from the like poles, since the piston will be linked to the flywheel they will push eachother away, the piston will push down, and the flywheel will push into another rotation, the sctech i drew has 2 flywheels so when the piston (i drew double sided) reaches the bottom of its push, there will be another magnet passing to push the piston back to the top end again,
like a horizontally opposed engine kinda... with magents lol
grr i got a pic, not very acurate, the crank would be much shorter, but thats sorta what it would look like, if you lived in a stick figure world...
:)
thats is? a smile face?! no you have to say something...
hehe
was still digesting...
something similar to this has been posted here before somewhere.

never mind.
bye.

absolute9, the only problem (from an open minded approach) that I wonder about is that you'd need to use electromagnets, in place of any regular magnetic substances, whether ceramic, alco-nico, Neodymium... somewhere in the neighborhood of 300 degrees, magnets loose their magnetic properties.
And making Pistons out of steel might add too much weight (reciprocating mass perspective) in order to be able to utilize electromagnets.
just some thoughts....
