Magnetic Torque Multiplier

[Jdo300]

Hello All,

The Magnetic Torque Multiplier is a patent that I found and have been sitting on for some time. It basically looks and behaves like a mechanical worm gear:

only it totally uses magnetic fields to achieve the effect. Here is a link to the patent on the device:

US Patent 4,167,684
http://www.google.com/patents?id=qv8wAAAAEBAJ&dq=magnetic+torque+multiplier

The interesting thing is that this inventor discusses many other magnet motor designs (he even references Howard Johnson and other well-known magnet motor patents) and talks about how his design greatly increases the mechanical power because of the magnetic fields doing all the work on the larger wheel.

He mentions that the device is designed such that the mechanical torque on the worm gear cylinder is virtually canceled out because of the magnet arrangement but the forces are exerted on the large disk which, interestingly enough, is in a plane that is 90 degrees to the rotational plane of the worm gear disk. I have wanted to do a replication of this since it appears to be extremely simple in construction but haven't had the time so I thought I would pass it along to everyone here.

If this works as the inventor claims, you could easily use a small weak DC motor to turn the Worm gear and connect a large generator onto the gear to produce power. Then simply use some of the electrical output to keep the small motor running. Everyone please take a look at this patent and let me know what you think.

Perhaps you can draw your version you are thinking about polarity of magnets on the worm and worm wheel.
I dont like this kind drawing style many Patents used. Why to draw detailed "screw" when most important things left garbled
At first comprehensible CAD illustration, then we´ll discuss a little bid and then the only way to know how well it works is to build it.
I can do.

   I'm waiting to see what happens when Clanzer gets ahold of this.
If its magnets, he is usually all over it. Sure said it should nullify cogging
if the mag sets are the right distance apart. You should lose the friction
of the worm gears as well.
   I have 64 neo's with nothing to do. What the heck. Now if I just had
a CNC.

Hi Everyone,

For anyone interested, i have already started to make some CAD drawings for a simple version of this thing that we can all build. The present version uses 1/4" x 1/8" square Neo magnets for the disks which are 1/4" thick Plexiglas 3.75" in diameter. it basically just has a bunch of notches cut in it to glue the magnets in. So to make the rotor disk, you simply need two of these disks.

I will finish up the CAD drawing I made and post it here so everyone can see how to do it. This thing is painfully cheap and simple to test so I believe we should be able to quickly prove or debunk it. it would be awesome if Clanzer could knock this up with his CNC machine. that would be quick and simple to see if this works.

If anyone else here is interested, please let me know what size magnets you have and I can make a scaled drawing to fit the magnets you have. According to the patent, you will need 56 of the same sized magnets. the 1/4" x 1/8" square magnets I was looking at using sell for $22 total if you order 100 on KJ Magnetics.

God Bless,
Jason O

Hi to All !

http://jnaudin.free.fr/html/2magpup.htm
and more than this experiment

this works. this is the simplest implementation, easy to make,   push-pull

AMAAAAAAAAZZZZING !!!!!

how many workable ideas coming up as well done pop corns these days

And they said magnets can not do work !!!!! HAA ! HAAAA! HA!!! 

Best To All
