4 PISTON MOTOR THAT JUST MIGHT WORK. YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE...

[Tommey Reed]

I hate to say, but you all are just wasting time with this mechanical thing.
Magnets have a push and pull, that can not be controlled. This is why we have electromagnets in the first place. Even if you block a magnet with steel, it will still need energy to pull it away from the metal. Another thing is energy, just how much energy do you think you can get out of this?

Buy a solar panel, that's free energy! Most people think 746 watts grow on trees, but the facts are, if you have a 24" wheel you will need to spin it at 3600 rpm at a contant torque of (5252/3600 rpm)=1.46lb = 1hp =746 watts
Even if you get a force of say 10lb of force, this could be calculated into energy.
(5252/10)=525 rpm: =1hp 746 watts

33000 lb of work in one minute equal 1hp, so if you lift 1lb 33,000 feet in one minute, you just made one horse power.
You could lift 33,000lb one foot in one minute, you also have made 1hp.

24" rotor will give you a foot pound reading, so when this is turn one revolution the distant it travels is ((24"*pi)/12)=6.28ft of work, so if you have 10lb of constant torque you have put out 62.8 lb of work for each revolution of the wheel.
(33,000/6.28)=5254, but 5252 is use to calculate hp, hp is also amount of energy in wattage 746= 1hp or 7460 watts=10hp.

If you spin a 24" wheel at 5252 rpm, all you will need is a constant torque of 1lb and you have 1hp.

A 1hp dc motor at 2000 rpm, produce (5252/2000)=2.62 foot pounds of torque this is enough power to move you bicycle 30+mph.

This is my basic rotary piston engine, you can see how simple this is. Make it simple, don't add too many parts...

You could make use magnet to move the piston like this basic engine I design.

@Tommey

The only thing more researched than magnet motors are combustion engines. You would need to go a long way to come up with something better in this area.
If it does not run on algae oil then you are not looking far enough ahead. Are you using non wearing ceramic cylinders and pistons? Your stuff has already been invented, we are looking at the impossible magnet motor. I mean, why deal with reality when you could work on the imaginary!

you can always put the cam location anywhere on the gear to get whatever stroke you need.
You can try the half moon in the same setup to satisfy your own curiosity
The center magnets do not rotate, they are always inline with the piston magnets.

Too big gears will be an extra load.
I have tried the half moon in my dual piston device. I know how much unwanted drag that gives.
Perhaps I can try a variant of your shiled on my device. We should learn a lot from that. I'm ony some days away from my holliday. I have WM2d with me, but not my mill ;=)
