Keppe
Motor
Based on the principles outlined in 'The New Physics Derived from a
Disinverted Metaphysics ' by Norberto Keppe, especially the idea that
energy doesn’t come from matter. According to Keppe, the process is
actually the opposite, meaning that matter comes from a previous,
primary energy called Essential Energy, which is infinite and exists
everywhere in the entire universe.
The New Physics
In his landmark book, The New Physics, Dr. Norberto Keppe outlines the
basis for a new physics that transcends the postulates of Newton and
Einstein and even the proposals coming from the realm of quantum
physics. Keppe’s book is a bold and prophetic re-thinking of the
essential building blocks of science that promises to lead humanity to
profoundly higher levels of technological and social development.
Keppe’s findings were the inspiration needed for STOP engineers Cesar
Soos and Roberto Frascari to discover the method by which to capture
the scalar energy perceived by Tesla (also refered to as essential or
divine energy by Keppe), thereby side-stepping the traditional means
used by all motors to this point. To learn more about this
revolutionary science, purchase the book.
The Keppe Motor is a highly efficient motor that was developed by Cesar
Soos and Roberto Frascari, two Brazilian engineers who based this motor
on totally new principles described in a book written by the scientist
Norberto Keppe called, “The New Physics”. This motor significantly
reduces the consumption of electricity to generate the same mechanical
power (torque) when compared to conventional electric motors that
operates in the range up to 200 Watts (Dec/08.)
Based on studies made with existing working models*, the Keppe Motor
saves between 70% and 93% of electric energy when compared to
conventional electrical motors.
Motor Kit
Following up on the successful launch of the Keppe Motor Manual in late
2008, the STOP the Destruction of the World Association has announced
the release of the Keppe Motor KIT to begin 2009.
Containing all the parts necessary to build your very own introductory
version of the Keppe Motor, the Kit also contains an illustrated manual
with all the step-by-step instructions you’ll need to put the Motor

behind the Keppe Motor – Norberto Keppe’s New Physics. This is a must
read for anyone interested in the scientific basis behind this
revolutionary Motor. The Manual also contains a number of experiments
that you can conduct with this version of the Keppe Motor.
The Keppe Motor uses 5 times less energy than a conventional electric
motor because it captures Scalar Energy from space. The STOP
Association has decided to release this technology to the world in the
hopes that many interested individuals will contribute to the study and
development of this landmark technology.

buys $350.00 kit from Norberto Keppe a Scam
Keppe Motor Kit
I have received my Kit,
Opening it, it look nice. So I printed the manual (beside the typo
mistakes) and read it. And started to check parts.
I was surprised to see the spool with two red connectors. The battery
connector (black) was a flat male instead of a female one !
So I went on corrected this in order to be able to mount the kit. When
finished, NOTHING RUNS !
Can you tell me more on this ! where to diag and what to find ?
I am more than disappointed it is a very expensive kit for having in
final a 9v battery !
Hope to have a quick answer.
Thank you
Paul gets ripped off by Norberto Keppe
Keppe Motor simular to Newman-Bedini
combination
@All
I decided to take the risk and bought the manual a couple of hours ago
and am very disappointed Angry
It's a toy version of the Newman motor Roll Eyes
Ah well, nothing ventured nothing gained, hopefully the real motor
isn't a window type motor Grin I'm always willing to forgive and forget!

A
Personal Witness Account of the Keppe Motor
Will Lajeunesse of Canada traveled to Brazil where he witnessed
numerous demonstrations of the Keppe Motor. He also attended
their demo in San Diego. Recommends their manual and kit.
The first Keppe Motor public demonstration in Cambuquira Brazil, July
6, 2008. They wrapped the motor in foil because this was the
first time the motor was shown in public, and the also the first time
the media was present. The patents had not been secured at this time,
so it was decide not to allow public photos of the inside workings of
the motor.
Will Lajeunesse of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and his friend, Susan
Berkley, who has been a member of the group for over 20 years and lives
in New York City.
The following is an email received on Jan. 24, 2009. The Keppe
motor purportedly consumes just 7% of the energy to put out as much
torque as conventional motors.
Dear Mr. Allan,
I enjoyed very much your interview on Coast to Coast AM and it is very
good to hear of a person doing such good work, helping humanity find
solutions to one of its largest problems.
I am not sure if you have heard of the Keppe Motor yet, but there have
been some discussions about it at overunity.com. Unfortunately some
folks there do not do their proper research and jump to unfair and even
destructive conclusions about the Keppe Motor and the scientists behind
it.
The Keppe Motor is not a rip off of the Bendini, Newman motor nor any
other motor for that matter. Yes, it is similar to these motors but it
is very different in key ways. In addition, the Brazilian Government
asked the Keppe Motor team to accompany a Brazilian delegation to
Poznan, Poland for the UN Climate Change Conference in Poznan, Poland.
I have done my proper research and traveled to Sao Paulo Brazil &
San Diego to see this fantastic device and especially to meet the
people behind it. I can tell you Sir, that this group of researchers is
one of the finest in the world and they are not trying to deceive
anyone. I have seen demonstrations of the Keppe motor many, many times
and I can confirm and prove that it is what they say it is and they
have the data to back it up. They have many working prototypes and even
offer the manual & small experimental kit for sale online.
The Keppe Motor Manual is only $50.00 and it's over 44 pages long, full
of scientific explanations and how to build your own Keppe Motor
step-by-step. It is very cheap to build and takes little effort, very
simple concepts and design. However this is a working model only and
needs much more development before it is integrated into everyday uses.
The pre-assembled kit is also for sale, and considering what this motor
can do, it is a bargain at $350.00 US. However it is not necessary to
spend that much money to own your own Keppe Motor as one should
consider first building their own motor via the manual. They even
include a parts list for free on their web site before you buy the
manual. This is to show that they have nothing to hide and that they
are honest.
The Keppe Motor stands apart from all other electromagnetic motors thus
far. It has both the torque & high RPMs needed to be practical, and
it runs cold! Yes sir, I have touched the motor directly many times
after lengthy demonstrations, and it was cold every time. As you know,
this violates the laws of physics that we are taught in school, yet I
experienced it for myself many times. In addition, when one Keppe Motor
is running next to another, the second motor begins to turn as well, at
a lower speed. If you connect multiple Keppe Motors together they
become much more efficient, and I have also seen this many times.
I own a copy of the Keppe Motor Manual and I am also currently building
my own for testing/development purposes. I have become good friends
with many of the people behind this new technology and I am now helping
them promote it. I would like to send you the Keppe Motor Manual PDF
for your review. Due to the legal terms of use, I cannot just send you
a copy for free, so I am paying for it out of my own pocket. I also do
not wish to steal from this beautiful group of people who work very
hard every day to help humanity and need our support. I ask only that
you please do not distribute this manual as they need to raise funds
for further development.
I look forward to your opinion of the manual and the device if you
choose to build it. We could certainly use your help getting the word
out. Please see my Google Video link for the first Keppe Motor public
demonstration located in Cambuquira Brazil. I took this footage myself,
at approx 6:20 into the demonstration, you will see and hear this motor
run.
The demo was on July 6, 2008, the first time the motor was released for
public demos. I was there. The media was also there including local TV
stations and newspapers. The public was very interested; and the motor
was received very well. The group of scientists who created the Keppe
Motor, including Dr. Keppe, are very well known in their communities
and throughout Latin America.

Scandal-Lies-Exposed-Fraud-CopyCat

php?topic= 5601.10
From : Rick
Hello everyone,
I have viewed all of the videos presented here and I am sad to say that
what is being presented is a very cleverly devised promotion of another
inventor's work. The air-core stator designs are not new and the
switching technique is one in which I am very familiar with. Does this
mean I am saying that they are indeed mine? No they most certainly are
not.
In the midst of an energy and economic crisis of epic proportions, it
is with great disappointment for me to see people trying to take
advantage of a vulnerable public desperately seeking out new more
affordable and cleaner energy solutions.
Is the Keppe book "The New Physics" being given out for free? No it is
not. Obviously Dr. Keppe is trying to promote his book as are the
editors of this book as well. The Keppe Motor is merely a ploy to
generate interest in his books. Books he intends to make a great deal
of profit off of.
What does one of the real inventors think of "The Keppe Motor"? I will
allow him to speak for himself.
John Bedini's response --
"Rick,
Here is my response to the copy Window motor.
It would be nice if you would give credit where it is due. As I and Ron
Cole are the real inventor's of this motor, it's called the window
motor as I have shown for many years. If you think not, just type
Window Motor into Google under Bedini Window Motor. Why don't you show
the switching circuit or explain it? Also it could only be MY circuits
that capture this energy for recovery into the second or third battery.
The second switching circuit could only be the bi-polar switcher
circuit on the internet. Let's get real, it's not a
good deal to take others work and call it your own!!!!!
The only other motor is Joe Newman's energy machine which uses contact
switching which you do not have, so the only other way to capture
Radiant or Scalar energy is the Bedini SG circuit, why because you can
stop it without any current input or heating.The funny thing is
everybody knows who put all the diagrams on the internet, my patents
clearly show the switching in the Mono Pole motor and all the
documentation on the internet surely shows no capacitor but a diode or
bridge collecting the excess energy.
This is what is wrong with humanity as to why you are very limited in
what can be done with your re-invented machine, the world will know the
truth some day. If you find you are in disagreement with what I have
said here it can be worked out as to who the real inventor's are. It
really burns my ass what great men of science do with others work.You
can not call this your motor at all, and it is plain theft of my
circuits and motor which are protected in my patents. I would have
wished we could have started on a better foot, post your circuit's and
rotor magnet arrangement let's see!!!!!!!!! It's been on my internet
pages forever.

On Oct. 20, 2008 Sterling D. Allan conducted a live, 1-hour interview
with Cesar Soos, Eduardo Castela, and Richard Jones from the Keppe
Motor group as part of the Free Energy Now radio show. The interview
turned into a business brainstorming discussing about how the
technology can be rolled out in an open source model.
How it Works
According to the company, in the Keppe Motor the movement is mainly
caused by the secondary component of electrical energy, which comes
directly from the energetic scalar field of space, being that the
electrical energy used is only to give a start to the process of
capturing this energy. And as a consequence, because it has little
consumption of electrical energy, the motor does not heat and because
the energy it uses is in accordance with nature, it can benefit from it.
To move a fan that generally uses 60-80 watts, the Keppean motor
utilizes only 3 watts, an energy consumption 20 times less than normal.
The Keppe Motor never heats up even when using high voltage such as 110
and 220 volts. It can greatly reduce the consumption of the motor
adding spirals in its solenoid being that a small battery of 12 volts
and 1.3 amps lasted 48 hours turning a fan.
A larger model that was built began to spin with only .6 watts and
reaches a velocity of 3,000 RPMs comsuming only 15 watts and with a
good comparison to other motors.
Primary source of energy: scalar or essential energy (from space).
Secondary source of energy: battery or electrical current used only to
give the initial start.
Motor heating: none.
Environmental pollution: none.
Operating area: any place on the planet because it is not dependent on
other sources of energy such as atomic, hydroelectric, eolic (wind) or
coal.
RPM: adjustable in accordance with the applied voltage. 3500 RPMs has
already been accomplished with a motor whose rotor weighs 400 grams and
consumes 15 watts and 4500 RPMs with a 250 gram rotor.
Torque: a minimum of 5 times greater than the best conventional motors.
Efficiency: depending on the dimensions can be 20 times greater than
normal motors.
Iron cores of conventional electric motors are no longer necessary,
eliminating hysteresis loss;
Heat loss caused by electrical currents flowing through the coils
(Joule effect) is minimized;
Heat loss from induced currents (eddy currents) caused by the movement
of magnetic fields inside the metallic body of the motor is eliminated.

Electromagnetic Motor & Equipment
to Generate Work Torque
Inventors : Norberto Keppe, Carlos C.
Soos, Roberto Franscari
Abstract -- The present
invention refers to a high efficiency and cold
electromagnetic motor able to considerably increase the electromagnetic
and/or mechanic potential energy available to be used in any piece of
equipment fed by primary sources of energy. More specifically, the
present invention refers to a motor, or also a generator, that
comprises structural and functioning features that reduce the
consumption of electric energy and, at the same time, deliver mechanic
potential energy and work torque at least equivalent to the
conventional electric motors.
Field of Invention
The present invention refers to a cold and high efficiency
electromagnetic motor capable of increasing considerably the
electromagnetic and/or mechanical potential energy available to be
utilized in any piece of equipment supplied with primary forms of
energy. More specifically, the invention refers to a motor, or even a
generator, which comprises structure and functioning characteristics
that reduce the consumption of electrical energy and, at the same time,
produces similar mechanical potential energy and torque to conventional
motors.
In addition, the motor, object of the present invention
has a more simplified structure that can be applied to any electrical
device, specially those called electrical receptors, designed to
produce, at least, the same power efficiency, but consuming less
energy, without risks of overheating the equipment and, yet, reducing
manufacture costs of the said devices.
Besides, the
electromagnetic motor of the present invention solves a number of
today's problems related to the use of conventional energy sources and
the scarceness of electric energy, for it has the ability to deliver
the same power, consuming less energy.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many
types of electromagnetic motors are known today, and they are designed
to deliver mechanical power - torque, from the interaction of magnetic
components of a closed circuit supplied with electric current. All
these motors known at the present state of the art are developed
according to scientific principles, laws and theories pertaining to
traditional physics and electricity, and considered universal, natural
and inflexible laws, i.e., immutable. Nevertheless, scientific theories
are limited to the understanding of the scientists who elaborated them,
for example: Newton's laws, Ohm's laws, etc.
Therefore, it must be
clear that a different perspective of the conventional scientific
philosophy can lead to a new understanding of physics and an upgraded
technology, which is able to give a practical solution to problems
which are, so far, considered as intrinsic factors to a specific
physical process.
More precisely, the most utilized
electromagnetic motors today are the induction motors and the electric
motors with rotor coils.
In general, the induction motors comprise
a cylinder rotor made of metal (aluminum, for example) - or shorted out
coils mounted on the said metallic cylinder, surrounded by
electromagnets which are fed with electric AC current to generate a
first variable magnetic field, so as to obtain electromagnetic
induction. The magnetic field produces a current on the surface of the
metallic cylinder (or shorted out coils), which, in turn, produces its
own magnetic field. These two magnetic fields interact, by pulling and
pushing each other, causing the cylinder to rotate and, consequently,
deliver the mechanical power to the rotor shaft.
The electric
motors with rotor coils comprise a number of copper wire coils mounted
both on a metallic cylinder rotor and a stator, through which, usually
flows an alternating electric current (AC), generating magnetic fields
that attract and repel each other in semi cycles of 180[deg.],
describing a typical sinusoidal wave function. Due to the polarity
alternation of the magnetic field, the rotor spins and delivers
mechanical power.
According to the state of the art the
electromagnetic motors are usually based on two phenomena, as follows:
1) when we apply electric current through a conducting wire, the
magnetic field is generated by the conducting material; and 2) if a
conducting wire is exposed to a variable magnetic field, it will
present an electric potential difference in both of its ends, and the
electric current generated inside the conductor generates, in turn, a
magnetic field which opposes to the external field that caused it.
In
addition to that, the electric motors of the present state of the art
are constantly fed with electricity, in order to generate the polarity
alternation of the magnetic components intending to obtain the
attraction/repulsion effect. Obviously, this process, in order to keep
the rotor spinning under load (torque applied to the shaft), requires
high energy consumption. As consequence, heat losses are inevitable.
Thus,
as exposed hereinbefore, particularly due to the action- reaction
interactions, one verifies that the electromagnetic motors are said to
have intrinsic heat losses, which are impossible to be avoided. In
other words, the alternating magnetic fields produced by the passage of
alternating electric current through the stator and rotor coils of the
motors cause them to heat up in the same proportion to the intensity
and variation rate of these fields. Because of that, when an electric
motor is fed by any kind of power supply - either battery or AC power
public grid - the simple free-load spin of the shaft involves some
mechanical torque, which reacts to the electric power supply circuit
and represents a line voltage drop, against the feeding energy of the
motor, tending to stop it. This voltage drop is technically known as
counter electromotive force (back emf).
Nevertheless, to each
mechanical load added to the line of the motor, the extra electric
power required to overcome it will represent an increase in the back
emf, i.e., a resistance increase. As consequence to that, the
temperature of the windings rises and causes the efficiency of the
motor to drop. In case the mechanical load is too high and exceeds its
design limit value, overheating takes place and the motor burns.
In
this sense, one can remark that the continuous supply of electricity
(AC or DC) to the conventional motors involves a series of problems,
especially those related to overheating and performance drop.
According
to the scientific theories utilized to develop these electromagnetic
motors, four intrinsic and opposing forces to the movement of the motor
are considered, as follows: counter electromotive force, magnetic drag,
hysteresis and eddy currents. All of these resistive forces result in
heating and possible burning of the motors when they are subjected to
heavy loads, for they demand continuous electric supply from the power
source.
After the above explanations, the inventors claim, in
spite of acknowledging the theoretical concepts known today, and
complement that the same are incomplete, because they ignore the
essential physical characteristics of the magnetic matter and/or
electric conductive matter in regard to its function of capturing
energy from the environment, as well as the structure of the
electromagnetic fields, the concepts of voltage and electric current
and their deficiencies. Taking into consideration that the motors of
the present state of the art are said to have these resistive forces as
intrinsic to their functioning, today's projects are oversized and
their electric consumption is more elevated than they should, which
contributes to cause negative impact over the environment. As
technicians in the field are aware, one of the main problems in the
world today is the scarceness of natural resources for power
generation, besides the quantity of pollutants sent off to the
atmosphere caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
In order to
briefly clarify the bases of the invention, according to the theories
and concepts researched and developed by Keppe (refer to "The New
Physics Derived From A Disinverted Metaphysics", Keppe, Norberto da
Rocha, published 1996, Proton Publishing House, Paris) the present
invention is based on the hypothesis that matter captures and
transforms immaterial energy, called essential energy, into secondary
forms of energy, namely electricity and magnetism.
In short,
besides other concepts explored by Keppe, the author holds that the
essential energy, in the case of the magnetic fields, is twofold and
bidirectional, i.e., it always acts in two equal components, but in
opposite and complimentary directions.
More specifically, what we
know as voltage according to traditional concepts, for Keppe, means
essential energy itself, so that when electric current flows through a
conducting wire, caused by an electric potential difference between its
terminals, in fact, just one component of the essential energy is in
use. One simply ignores the power of the second component of the
essential energy. As consequence to that, because this second component
is totally discarded, the motors of the present state of the art
present heat loss inconveniences. In other words, the electromagnetic
motors of the present state of the art utilize the energy generated by
the magnetic field during the electric current input, ignoring or
discarding the second component of the essential energy, i.e., the back
energy derived from the collapsing of the magnetic field, which also
involves higher voltage/current peaks in opposite direction to those
supplied by the power supply.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Therefore,
intending to overcome deficiencies and solve the problems hereinbefore
mentioned in relation to the electric motors of the state of the art,
the electromagnetic motor, object of the present invention, was
developed.
More specifically, it is the goal of the present
invention an electromagnetic motor that can replace any other motor
powered by primary forms of energy such as electric, electromagnetic,
mechanic, nuclear, piezoelectric, sonic, thermal, luminous, hydraulic,
pneumatic, chemical, electromagnetic induction, combustion of fossil
fuels, biofuels, etc., preferably those designed to deliver torque.
Yet,
another goal of the invention is an electromagnetic motor with
technical and functional characteristics that can diminish, or even
eliminate in specific cases, the resistive forces acting against the
movement of the rotor through the application of the concepts developed
by Keppe.
Yet, the present invention has for goal an
electromagnetic motor which, besides utilizing the energy generated by
the electric current flow inside the wires of a coil, captures and uses
the essential energy in its complete form, i.e., a motor designed to
capture and use the two components of the essential energy trapped in
the magnetic fields.
In this way, it is the goal of the invention
an electromagnetic motor that does not heat up and makes it possible
for the manufacture of wireless versions of many electric household
appliances which are traded only with wires and currently designed be
plugged to 110/220V domestic electric outlets, like for example, fans,
vacuum cleaners, mixers, etc.
It is also object of the invention
an electromagnetic motor that enhances the useful life of conventional
batteries utilized in wireless devices and power tools, without
diminishing their mechanical power.
Yet, the electromagnetic motor
of the invention is more efficient, which reduces considerably the
manufacturing costs of electric equipment that embodies motors, for it
is possible to reduce their size and, consequently use less material to
manufacture them. Additionally, it is the objective of the invention a
motor that can be adapted to work as a power generator, small or big,
and help save energy in electric power plants based on primary driving
energies such as radioactive material, water potential, wind potential,
sun, coal etc. The electromagnetic motor according to the invention
can, still, be easily adapted to replace hybrid (fuel/electricity)
motors currently developed for the car, nautical and aircraft industry,
for its capacity and work potential are considerably superior to those
of the conventional motors, in addition to consuming less electric
energy.
In order to reach the goals hereinbefore proposed, the
electromagnetic motor of the present invention is equipped to utilize
the essential energy in its integrality, particularly its second
component, here called back component, or back energy, which is
obtained both 1) through the collapse of the magnetic field caused by
draining off the energy trapped inside the stator coils when the
electric current input ceases and 2) the high voltage peaks caused by
switching on and off the input current to the coils.
More
specifically, the electromagnetic motor of the present invention works
with electric current pulses provided by a power supply in closed
circuit that feeds the wires of stator coils, inside which there is a
magnetic rotor. The pulses are controlled by means of sensors duly
positioned so as to determine the exact instant of the pulses, making
possible the capturing and harnessing of the said back energy.
BRIEF
DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES
The objectives and technical effects
attained by the electromagnetic motor, object of the present invention,
shall be clear to technicians of the field, starting with the following
detailed description referring to the enclosed sketches, in which:

basic setup of the electromagnetic motor according to the present
invention;

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The
electromagnetic motor, object of the present invention comprises a
structure that can utilize essential energy in its integrality. Besides
the energy generated to power the stator coil during the electric
current input, it also captures and uses the back energy derived from
the collapse of the magnetic field when the energy supply is switched
off and the magnetic energy of the said stator coil is drained off.
More
precisely, the electromagnetic motor of the present invention is
equipped with simple structure features which were developed according
to principles outlined by Norberto da Rocha Keppe, in the book
hereinbefore mentioned.
The present invention has for goal an
electromagnetic motor that generates work and mechanical torque with
potential, at least equivalent to that of the conventional motors of
the state of the art, but consuming less electric energy, for the
electric power supply is not constant.
More preferably, in the
first working model of the invention, the electromagnetic motor shown
in Figure 1 is comprised of a stator 1 constituted by a coil 2 made
with conducting wires whose terminals T1 and T2 are respectively
connected to the positive pole P1 and negative P2 of a power supply 3,
so that between the terminal T2 and the negative pole P2 there is a
on/off switch 4 properly positioned on the side and close to the end of
the shaft 5 of the magnetic rotor 6.
The said shaft 5 is
positioned at the center and forming a right angle with the body of the
stator 1 , through the ball bearings 7, so that inside the body of the
said stator 1 , the shaft 5 supports the rotor 6, which is comprised of
at least one permanent magnet.
Preferably, the coil 2 is formed by
the windings of a conducting wire, such as copper or aluminum, in two
sectors with preferably the same number of turns and axially positioned
apart from one another. Figure 1 shows the said sectors A and B
connected to each other and winded apart around the stator body 1.
The
number of turns of each sector A and B of the coil 2 is set according
to the specifications of the design, for this factor is essential to
create the magnetic field desired and, consequently, the power of the
motor to be developed.
Yet, according to the attached sketches and
a specific design of the invention, the electromagnetic motor is
powered by pulses of DC current (from batteries or rectified AC
current) with duration times depending on the design. This arrangement
is different from the electromagnetic motors of the state of the art
that use the alternation of AC sinusoidal signals to produce the
magnetic field and, consequently the incompatibility of the magnetic
polarities and rotation of the rotor shaft. In addition to that, in one
of the shaft ends 5, outside the stator body 1 , an actuator 8 is
properly positioned to turn on and off the on/off switch 4 when the
shaft 5 rotates. Preferably, the said actuator 8 is a permanent magnet
whose magnetic field lies at right angle to the rotation shaft 5, and
the said on/off switch 4 is a Reed-type switch that responds to the
presence of the said magnetic field. The actuator 8 can be replaced to
suit other switches 4 like Hall sensors, optic sensors or even
discarded in the case of PWM pulsating circuits. Thus, when the shaft 5
of the rotor 6 rotates, the said actuator 8 turns on the switch 4,
opening and closing the electric circuit of the electromagnetic motor
of the invention, so as to provide electric current pulses to power the
stator coil.
Alternatively, one (or more) synchronous pulsating
electromagnet 9 can be properly positioned to help speed up the
rotation of the rotor 6. The said electromagnet 9 is preferably made of
a soft iron core enveloped by a number of turns of conducting wire
which generates a magnetic field to help the incompatibility between
the polarities and the magnetic poles of the rotor 6, thus causing them
to repel one another.
More specifically in regard to the sequence
of sketches shown in Figures 2A, 2B and 2C, the electromagnetic motor
of the invention works in the following way: the actuator 8, attached
to the end of the shaft 5 of the rotor 6 is positioned and adjusted so
that its magnetic field, when closing the on/off switch 4, is at a
precise point where the angle of the shaft of the rotor 6, in relation
to the magnetic field lines of the stator coil, is [alpha] =
-X<0>, as shown in Figure 2A. In this exact position, the magnet
of the rotor 6 starts its cycle of attraction, tending to its neutral
point, where [alpha] = 0[deg.] in relation to the magnetic field lines
of the stator coil, to immediately afterwards enter the drag region,
whose tendency is to stop it due to the polarity of the magnetic field
generated by the coil 2 and the polarity of the rotor 6. At the moment
the rotor 6 reaches its neutral point, i.e., where [alpha] = 0[deg.],
as indicated in Figure 2B and is ready to enter the drag region, the
on/off switch 4 is switched off.
At
this moment when the on/off switch 4 is off, the force of the magnetic
drag ceases. Nevertheless, immediately after this neutral point, where
[alpha] = +X[deg.], indicated in Figure 2C, the opposing force or back
energy caused by the collapse of the magnetic field inside the stator
coil 2 acts upon the rotor 6, inverting the polarity of the magnetic
field and forcing the rotor 6 to move away in the attempt to reach
equilibrium or the neutral point of the movement of the rotor. It must
be clarified that such effect is a combined effect between the energy
gained by the observed negative peaks of voltage (and current) provoked
by turning on and off the switch 4, and the magnetic energy derived
from the collapse of the magnetic field, which inverts polarity of the
field trapped in the coil, thus exerting a force of repulsion upon the
magnetic rotor 6. As indicated in Figures 2A and 2C the representative
lines X of magnetic field invert direction, provoking the polarity
inversion of the magnetic field of the coil 2.
Thus, according to
the construction described above, the electromagnetic motor of the
present invention provokes two phenomena almost at the same time due to
the short time interval between the electric current pulses generated.
First, when the on/off switch 4 is turned on, the battery feeds the
stator coil of the motor that builds up a magnetic field proportional
to the supplied voltage, which attracts the magnet of the rotor to the
position of equilibrium - immediately after that, the second phenomenon
takes place, when the on/off switch 4 is turned off, causing the
magnetic field of the coil to collapse, which is responsible, together
with the extra energy caused by the negative voltage peaks mentioned
before, for the generation of the back energy, i.e., the second
component of the essential energy trapped inside the coil and built up
by the first component supplied by the power source. One can easily
verify with the help of a scope, that the voltage corresponding to this
back energy ranges from 10 to 20 times more than the supply voltage of
the first component.
Besides this evident power gain due to the
back energy, the fact of pulsating DC current, preferably supplied by a
battery, without phase alternation like in the case of AC current
supply, gives the following results: i) minimized counter electromotive
force in the case of constant and low torque applications, for the
magnetic rotor rotates freely along more than half the rotor cycle; ii)
minimized drag, for the magnetic field of the stator coil is turned off
immediately after the rotor magnet 6 passes the point of equilibrium,
which lets it rotate freely until other pulses are applied at specific
points; iii) zero hysteresis, for pulsed DC has no polarity alternation
to affect the magnetic dipoles of iron cores. In addition, the motor of
the present invention requires no iron cores in many applications; iv)
minimized eddy currents, because the magnetic fields created inside the
coil 2 - both during power supply and back energy supply are parallel
to the body of the motor, thus yielding close-to-zero induced currents.
In addition, the stator bodies of the motor of the present invention
can be made of light non-metallic and/or plastic-like materials that
greatly reduce the negative effects of eddy currents.
Besides the
reduction and/or elimination of hysteresis and eddy currents losses,
the inventors remark that heat losses in the conductors caused by the
Joule effect are also greatly minimized because the magnetic rotor in
movement, builds up and maintains its own alternating magnetic field
inside the stator coils, which, together with the second component of
the essential energy, maintains more magnetic energy trapped in the
stator coils, thus reducing the current flow necessary to apply the
same torque to the shaft. Consequently, there is no considerable
temperature rise, which improves both efficiency and useful life of the
motor, for there is no risk of overheating.
Besides this, as one
can observe, during the functioning of the electromagnetic motor
according to the invention, the power supply 3 is not constantly
active, for it only inputs energy into the circuit when the pulses are
given by the actuator 8 upon the on/off switch 4. As result, the
consumption of the battery is greatly reduced when compared to the
motors of the state of the art, and this allows new battery-built-in
designs for currently non-portable equipment. Thus, in short, the
electromagnetic motor, object of the invention, is designed in
principle to capture and harness energy generated by the collapse of
the magnetic field which takes place when the energy contained in the
coil 2 is drained off. Such energy is responsible for the inversion of
polarity of the magnetic field that acts upon the magnetic rotor.
Figures
3 and 4 illustrate alternative constructions comprised of a series of
electromagnetic motors according to the present invention. Figure 3
shows the combination of a series of rotors 6<1> sitting side by
side along the same shaft 5'. Each rotor 6' rests inside its own stator
coil, so as to add torque at the shaft ends.
This design is
particularly used for power equipment with longitudinal bodies, because
the association of individual torques in the same shaft adds. This
combination can work with lower voltages than those used for
conventional motors and thus operate with batteries and reach high
efficiency. In addition, the use of higher voltages increases torque
considerably.
Figure 4 is a sketch of another combination of
motors interconnected by means of gears 10, which depending on their
rate, can increase or diminish torque (or speed) at the ends of the
rotating shaft.
Through this alternative design, the phenomenon of
resonance causes the motors to interact with one another at distance,
still increasing the efficiency of the mechanical system as a whole. In
other words, besides the action of the coils upon the magnetic rotors,
the entire system benefits from the resonance between the magnetic
rotors. As result, torque and consumption are optimized. More
specifically Figures 5A, 5B and 5C depict alternative designs for the
electromagnetic motor of the present invention, all of them with the
purpose of achieving better efficiency and consequently work capacity.
In these assemblies one observes that the disposition of the coils is
altered to increase the number of pulses that generate voltage peaks
and electric current along one cycle of the rotor.
Figure 5A
illustrates an assembly in which coil 2 is comprised of four sectors
axially positioned and 90 degrees out of phase, so that two pulses are
generated along the rotation cycle of rotor 6. This is called biphasic
assembly.
Figure 5B shows an assembly in which the coil comprises
six sectors out of phase with each other, so that the feeding pulses of
electric current are applied in three specific points of the rotation
cycle of the rotor. In this case the electromagnetic motor is called
triphasic assembly. Figure 5C shows a construction in which the coil 2
is divided into eight out-of-phase sectors, which requires four
pulsation points along the rotation cycle of the rotor, being called
tetraphasic assembly.
These arrangements are more compact, and
their configurations take advantage of more pulses (direct and back -
in both directions of the coil) along the same cycle of the rotor,
which speeds up the rotor and stabilizes torque when heavier loads are
applied to the shaft.
As a practical example of the advantages and
technical effects given by the electromagnetic motor according to the
present invention when compared to the conventional motors known in the
state of the art, one can utilize any electrical receptor like for
example a domestic fan.
A typical and regular medium size domestic
fan found in the market today is designed to consume around 120W of
energy (P). The voltage (U) of the public power grid used for such
devices is usually 127V (or 220V). Let's consider it 120V for easy
calculation. Therefore, according to basic electrical theories, the
electric current (i) flowing through the motor of this fan is 1 Amp,
because: i = P / U = 120W / 120V = 1A
In other words, this
electric appliance requires 1 Ampere of electric current to produce
120W power, which rotates the fan at a certain speed. When this motor
of the state of the art was actually replaced by one equivalent
electromagnetic motor of the present invention, it was possible to
obtain the same mechanical work (i.e., the fan rotating at the same
speed) with two 12V batteries in series (24V total voltage) and only
0.5 Amp flowing through the motor of the fan. Therefore, the power
required by the motor of the fan to produce the same mechanical work
was:
P = U x i = 24 x 0.5 = 12W
The comparison between the two
fans, one with the conventional motor of the state of the art and the
other with the electromagnetic motor of the present invention, revealed
that this latter is about ten times more efficient (consumed 10
times less energy) than the motor of the current state of the art, due
to the fact that the electromagnetic motor of the present invention is
able to harness the back energy captured by the voltage peaks together
with the collapse of the magnetic field trapped inside the coil, when
the electric power supply is turned on and off at precise positions, as
mentioned hereinbefore.
Alternatively, the rotation shaft of the
electromagnetic motor in concern can be attached to a mechanism that,
through the mechanical torque generated by the motor, works as a power
generator. In addition, the adaptation in concern can be attached to,
or even replace generators ran on primary sources of energy. Although
the present invention is described in relation to the motors utilized
in devices called electric receptors, it is possible, also, to wind a
second coil around the first coil, so that the second coil captures the
back energy by induction and stores it in capacitors, recharges
batteries or uses it for torque.
Thus, in regard to all of what
has been exposed hereinbefore, it is clear that the electromagnetic
motor, object of the present invention, can obtain a substantial energy
gain, due to voltage peaks and magnetic field collapses, as well as
considerable reduction of losses, considered intrinsic to the motors of
the current state of the art.

ELECTROMAGNETIC MOTOR AND EQUIPMENT
TO GENERATE WORK TORQUE
FIELD OF INVENTION
The
present invention refers to a cold and high efficiency electromagnetic
motor capable of increasing considerably the electromagnetic and/or
mechanical potential energy available to be used in all equipment
supplied with energy in a primary forms. More specifically, the
invention refers to a motor, or even a generator, which comprises
structure and functioning characteristics that reduce the consumption
of electrical energy and, at the same time, produces equivalent and
even superior mechanical potential and torque in relation to
conventional motors.
In addition, the motor, object of the present
invention has a more simplified structure that can be applied to any
electrical device, specially those called electrical receptors,
designed to produce, at least, the same power efficiency, but consuming
less energy, without risks of overheating the equipment and, yet,
reducing manufacture costs of the said devices.
Besides, the
electromagnetic motor of the present invention solves a number of
today's problems related to the use of conventional energy sources and
the scarceness of electric energy, for it has the ability to deliver
the same power, consuming less energy.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Many
types of electromagnetic motors are known today, and they are designed
to deliver mechanical power - torque, from the interaction of magnetic
components of a closed circuit supplied with electric current. All
these motors known in the prior art are developed according to
scientific principles, laws and theories pertaining to traditional
physics and electricity, and considered universal, natural and
inflexible laws, i.e., immutable. Nevertheless, scientific theories are
limited to the understanding of the scientists who elaborated them, for
example: Newton's laws, Ohm's laws, laws of thermodynamic, etc.
Therefore,
it must be clear that a different perspective of the conventional
scientific philosophy can lead to a new understanding of physics and an
upgraded technology, which is able to give a practical solution to
problems which are, so far, considered as intrinsic factors to a
specific physical process.
In this context, it is worth to mention
that the machines have basically, as a principle, the consumption and
transformation of a certain type of energy in, basically energy
considered as loss, usually heat, inherent to its functioning and, in
the availability of any other type of energy that is considered useful
to the aimed finality.
Thus, it is also known that electric motors
are defined as machines that are powered by energy in its electric form
supplied by a power source, i.e., the mains power supply with
alternating current (single-phase, bi-phase, three- phase) or batteries
and solar cells with direct current, in such a way that the referred
electric energy is transformed in energy in its heat form, denominated
as a loss provoked by attrition, magnetic drag, hysteresis, eddy
currents, joule effects, etc., and finally by the energy supply in its
mechanical form, useful and available for work that is related to the
torque and rotation of the motor shaft. Conversely, it is also known
that electric generators are powered by some type of primary energy, as
for example, chemical combustion (diesel, gasoline, gas, alcohol, etc)
or mechanical (hydraulic power, wind power, etc.), and transform in
losses in the form of heat and electric current in the output to feed
other equipment.
Thus, in machines of such a nature, its yield or
efficiency is calculated by the ratio between the output and the input.
Merely as an illustration, if a motor consumes 60W of the mains power
supply and produces 3OW of mechanical work, its efficiency is given by
the ratio 30W/60W, that corresponds to 0.5 or expressed in percentage,
50%.
The same way, the generator that is powered by 1 KW of
mechanical power that can be supplied by a waterfall with constant "Q"
flow in m<3>/s, from a "h" height and that generates 850W of
electric energy in the output will have an efficiency of 850W/1.000W,
that corresponds to an efficiency of 0.85, or in percentage, 85%.
In
this context, there are many types of electric motors, however the
electromagnetic motors which are currently the most used due to its
easy construction are known as induction motors that, however, have a
squirrel-cage type rotor or a coil rotor.
In general, the cage
rotor induction motors comprise a cylinder rotor made of metal
(aluminum, for example) - or shorted out coils mounted on the said
metallic cylinder, surrounded by electromagnets which are fed with
electric AC current to generate a first variable magnetic field, so as
to obtain electromagnetic induction. The magnetic field produces a
current on the surface of the metallic cylinder (or shorted out coils),
which, in turn, produces its own magnetic field. These two magnetic
fields (from the rotor and the stator) interact, by pulling and pushing
each other, causing the cylinder to rotate and, consequently, deliver
the mechanical power to the rotor shaft. The electric motors with rotor
coils comprise a number of copper wire coils mounted both on a metallic
cylinder rotor and a stator, through which, usually flows an
alternating electric current (AC), generating magnetic fields that
attract and repel each other the variable fields of the rotor. Due to
the polarity alternation of the magnetic field in synchronicity, the
rotor spins and delivers mechanical power.
According to the prior
art the electromagnetic motors are usually based on two phenomena, as
follows: 1) when we apply electric current through a conducting wire,
the magnetic field is generated by the conducting material; and 2) if a
conducting wire is exposed to a variable magnetic field, it will
present an electric potential difference in both of its ends, and the
electric current generated inside the conductor forms, in turn, a
magnetic field which opposes to the external field that caused it. In
addition to that, the electric motors of the prior art are constantly
fed with electricity, in order to generate the polarity alternation of
the magnetic components intending to obtain the attraction/repulsion
effect. Obviously, this process, in order to keep the rotor spinning
under load (torque applied to the shaft), requires high energy
consumption. As consequence, heat losses are inevitable, i.e., with the
so-called losses or transformation in heat energy.
Thus, in view
of the foregoing, particularly due to the action- reaction
interactions, it is possible to note that the prior art electromagnetic
motors considering that the intrinsic heat losses are impossible to
be
avoided. In other words, the alternating magnetic fields produced by
the passage of alternating electric current through the stator and
rotor coils of the motors cause them to heat up in the same proportion
to the intensity and variation rate of these fields.
Because of
that, when an electric motor is fed by any kind of power source -
either battery or AC power public grid - the simple free-load spin of
the shaft involves some mechanical torque, which reacts to the electric
power supply circuit and represents a line voltage drop, against the
feeding energy of the motor, tending to stop it. This voltage drop is
technically known as counter electromotive force (back emf).
Nevertheless, to each mechanical load added to the line of the motor,
the extra electric power required to overcome it will represent an
increase in the back emf, i.e., a resistance increase, in such a way
that the feeding source supply more power in order to overcome the load
resistance. As consequence to that, the temperature of the windings
rises and causes the efficiency of the motor to drop. In case the
mechanical load is too high and exceeds its project limit value,
overheating takes place and the motor burns.
In this sense, again
it is observed that the continuous supply of electricity (AC or DC) to
the conventional motors involves a series of problems, especially those
related to the overheating and performance drop.
According to the
scientific theories utilized to develop these electromagnetic motors,
four intrinsic and opposing forces to the movement of the motor are
considered, as follows: counter electromotive force, magnetic drag,
hysteresis and eddy currents. All of these resistive forces result in
heating and possible burning of the motors when they are subjected to
heavy loads, for they demand continuous electric supply from the power
source.
After the above explanations, the inventors claim, in
spite of acknowledging the theoretical concepts known today, and
complement that the same are incomplete, because they ignore the
essential physical characteristics of the magnetic matter and/or
electric conductive matter in regard to its function of capturing
energy from the environment, as well as the structure of the
electromagnetic fields, the concepts of voltage and electric current
and their deficiencies.
Taking into consideration that the motors
of the state of the art are said to have these resistive forces as
intrinsic to their functioning, today's projects are oversized and
their electric consumption is more elevated than they should, which
contributes to cause negative impact over the environment.
As
technicians in the field are aware, one of the main problems in the
world today is the scarceness of natural resources for power
generation, besides the quantity of pollutants discharged to the
atmosphere caused by the burning of fossil fuels.
In order to
briefly clarify the bases of the invention, according to the theories
and concepts researched and developed by Keppe (refer to "The New
Physics Derived From A Disinverted Metaphysics", Keppe, Norberto da
Rocha, published 1996, Proton Publishing House, Paris) the present
invention is based on the hypothesis that matter captures and
transforms immaterial energy, called essential energy, into secondary
forms of energy, namely electricity and magnetism.
Summarizing,
besides other concepts explored by Keppe, the author holds that the
essential energy, in the case of the magnetic fields, is twofold and
bidirectional, i.e., it always acts in two components, but in opposite
and complimentary directions. More specifically, what we know as
voltage according to traditional concepts, for Keppe, means essential
energy itself, so that when electric current flows through a conducting
wire, caused by an electric potential difference between its terminals,
in fact, just one component of the essential energy is in use, ignoring
the power and capacity of the second component of the essential energy.
As consequence to that, because this second component is totally
discarded, the motors of the current prior art present inconveniences
related to heat loss.
In other words, the electromagnetic motors
of the present state of the art utilize the energy generated by the
magnetic field during the electric current input, ignoring or
discarding the second component of the essential energy, i.e., the back
energy, expressed by transients in the line, direct and reverse peaks,
at the moment of the building up and collapsing of the magnetic field
of the motor coils.
DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Therefore,
intending to overcome deficiencies and solve the problems hereinbefore
mentioned in relation to the electric motors of the prior art, the
electromagnetic motor, object of the present invention, was developed.
More specifically, it is the objective of the present invention an
electromagnetic motor that can replace any other motor powered by
primary forms of energy such as electric, electromagnetic, mechanic,
nuclear, piezoelectric, sonic, thermal, luminous, hydraulic, pneumatic,
chemical, electromagnetic induction, combustion of fossil fuels,
biofuels, etc., preferably those designed to deliver torque.
Yet,
another objective of the invention is an electromagnetic motor with
technical and functional characteristics that can overcome, or even
eliminate in specific cases, the resistive forces acting against the
movement of the rotor through the application of the concepts developed
by Keppe. Yet, the present invention has the objective of an
electromagnetic motor which, besides utilizing the energy generated by
the electric current flow inside the wires of a coil, captures and uses
the essential energy in its complete form, i.e., a motor designed to
capture and use the two components, action and complementation,
according to Keppe, of the essential energy trapped in the magnetic
fields.
In this way, it is the objective of the invention an
electromagnetic motor that does not heat up and makes it possible for
the manufacture of wireless versions of many electric household
appliances which are traded only with wires and currently designed be
plugged to 110/220V domestic electric outlets, like for example, fans,
vacuum cleaners, mixers and many other low power home appliances.
It
is also object of the invention an electromagnetic motor that enhances
the useful life of conventional batteries used in wireless devices and
power tools, without reducing their mechanical power.
Yet, the
electromagnetic motor of the invention is more efficient, which reduces
considerably the manufacturing costs of electric equipment that
embodies motors, for it is possible to reduce their size and,
consequently use less material to manufacture them.
Additionally,
it is the objective of the invention a motor that can be adapted to
work as a power generator, small or big, and help save energy in
electric power plants based on primary driving energies such as
radioactive material, water potential, wind potential, sun, coal etc.
Besides, it is the scope of the present invention a motor that can be
used in its generator mode in order to recuperate the electromagnetic
energy accumulated in the coil(s) and send it back to the coil(s),
generating a second power source independently from the first source,
which can be a battery, the mains power supply or any other. Most
precisely, this alternative performance of the motor in the present
invention can be denominated as an electromagnetic feedback system or
electromagnetic turbo system, which comprises the coupling of one or
more capacitors in the output of one or more coils of the basic
embodiment of the motor object of this invention. The electromagnetic
motor according to the invention can, still, be adapted to replace
hybrid (fuel/electricity) motors currently developed for the car,
nautical and aircraft industry, for its capacity and work potential are
considerably superior to those of the conventional motors, in addition
to consuming less electric energy as well as it allows the generation
of feedback energy.
In order to achieve the above indicated
objectives, the electromagnetic motor of the present invention is
equipped to use the essential energy in its integrality, particularly
its second component, here called back component, back peak or back
energy, which is obtained both 1) through the collapse of the magnetic
field caused by draining off the energy trapped inside the stator coils
when the electric current input ceases and 2) the high voltage peaks
caused by switching on and off the input current to the coils. More
specifically, the electromagnetic motor of the present invention works
with electric direct current pulses provided by a power supply in
closed circuit that feeds the wires of stator coils, inside which there
is a magnetic rotor, coiled and made of permanent magnets. The pulses
are controlled by means of sensors duly positioned so as to determine
the exact instant of the pulses, making possible the capturing and
harnessing of the said back energy. In the alternative construction,
capacitors can be added to the motor line so that its work resonance
can be achieved.
More specifically the increase of work power in
the motor- generator proposed in the alternative construction of the
present invention is obtained when the motor initiates its movement
through the primary mains power supply (rectified current) or through
one or more batteries, that power, respectively the motor coil(s)
through a pulse of energy that interact, on its (their) turn, with one
or more magnetic or electromagnetic rotors fixed in the rotation shaft,
resulting in the rotation of said shaft. In this sense, the alternating
current generated in the terminals of said coil(s) that involves one or
more rotating magnetic or electromagnetic rotors is rectified, in a
half wave or complete wave and deviated to one or more capacitors, or
even to a capacitor bank, that on their turn are able to accumulate a
voltage superior to the input primary power voltage of the first motor
pulse. This amplified voltage in the capacitor(s) is used as a second
direct current power source, being completely independent from the
primary power source and corresponding to the power (electricity)
generator aspect of the present invention. The capacitor(s) positive
and negative outputs are dully connected to the motor coil terminals
that supply sufficient current and electric charge to power one or more
extra pulses in the coil(s) when the rotor is in the appropriate phases
in relation to them, in order to contribute to the rotation of the
rotor. Finally, by coupling one or more motors/generators in the same
shaft, with two coils duly connected in a series or in parallel, one in
able to increase indefinitely the gain of energy produced by the
generator aspect of the present construction in relation to the energy
consumed by the motor aspect of the present construction. In other
words, with the proposed feedback, the efficiency of the present motor
is not limited anymore to only 100%.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The electromagnetic motor,
object of the present invention comprises a structure that can use the
essential energy in its integrality. Besides the energy generated to
power the stator coil during the electric current input, it also
captures and uses the back energy derived from the collapse of the
magnetic field when the energy supply is switched off and the magnetic
energy of the said stator coil is drained off.
More precisely, the
electromagnetic motor of the present invention comprises simple
structure features which were developed according to principles
outlined by Norberto da Rocha Keppe, in the book mentioned above. The
present invention has for objective an electromagnetic motor that
generates work and mechanical torque with potential, at least
equivalent to the conventional motors of the prior art, but consuming
less electric energy, since the electric power supply is not constant,
and yet it can promote the feedback of the motor. More preferably, in
the first embodiment of the invention, the electromagnetic motor shown
in Figure 1 is comprised of a stator 1 constituted by a coil 2 made
with conducting wires whose terminals T1 and T2 are respectively
connected to the positive P1 and negative P2 poles of a power supply 3,
so that between the terminal T2 and the negative pole P2 there is a
on/off key 4, or switch properly positioned on the side and close to
the end of the shaft 5 of the magnetic rotor 6.
The said shaft 5
is positioned at the center and forming a right angle with the body of
the stator 1 , through the bearings 7, so that inside the body of the
said stator 1 , the shaft 5 supports the rotor 6, which is comprised of
at least one permanent magnet.
Preferably, the coil 2 is formed by
the windings of a conducting wire, such as copper or aluminum, in two
sectors with preferably the same number of turns and axially or
radially positioned apart from one another.
Figure 1 shows the said sectors A and B connected to each other and
winded apart around the stator body 1.
The
number of turns of each sector A and B of the coil 2 is set according
to the specifications of the motor design in order to reach the
resonance of the rotor/coil(s) pair, depending on the characteristics
and power desired.
Yet, according to the attached drawings and a
specific design of the invention, the electromagnetic motor is powered
by pulses of DC current (from batteries or rectified AC current)
with duration times depending on the design. This arrangement is
different from the electromagnetic motors of the prior art that use the
alternation of AC sinusoidal signals to produce the magnetic field (AC
motors), or inversion of the direct current during the rotor cycle (DC
motors) in order to obtain the magnetic fields and, consequently the
incompatibility of the magnetic polarities to generate the movement of
the rotor shaft.
In addition, in one end of the shaft 5, outside
the stator body 1 , an actuator 8 is properly positioned to turn on and
off the on/off key 4 or switch when the shaft 5 rotates. Preferably,
the said actuator 8 is a permanent magnet whose magnetic field lies at
right angle to the rotation shaft 5, and the said on/off switch 4 is a
reed-type switch that responds to the presence of the said magnetic
field. The actuator 8 can be replaced to suit other switches 4 like
Hall sensors, optic sensors or even discarded in the case of PWM
pulsating circuits.
Thus, when the shaft 5 of the rotor 6 rotates,
the said actuator 8 turns on the switch 4, opening and closing the
electric circuit of the electromagnetic motor of the invention, so as
to provide electric direct current pulses to power the stator coil.
Alternatively,
one electromagnet 9 can be properly positioned in order to determine
the supply pulses of the electric power, making that the pulses be
generated in the exact position of rotor 6 pushing it yet more in its
movement.
The said electromagnet 9 is preferably made of a
laminated silicon steel core enveloped by a number of turns of
conducting wire which generates a magnetic field to help the
incompatibility between the polarities and the magnetic poles of the
rotor 6, thus causing them to repel one another.
More specifically
in relation to the sequence of drawings shown in Figures 2A, 2B and 2C,
the electromagnetic motor of the invention works in the following way:
the actuator 8, attached to the end of the shaft 5 of the rotor 6 is
positioned and adjusted so that its magnetic field, when closing the
on/off switch 4, is at a precise point where the angle of the shaft of
the rotor 6, in relation to the magnetic field lines of the stator
coil, is [alpha] = -X<0>, as shown in Figure 2A. In this exact
position, the magnet of the rotor 6 starts its cycle of attraction,
tending to its neutral point, where [alpha] = 0[deg.] in relation to
the magnetic field lines of the stator coil, to immediately afterwards
enter the drag region, whose tendency is to stop it due to the polarity
of the magnetic field generated by the coil 2 and the polarity of the
rotor 6.
At the moment the rotor 6 reaches its neutral point,
i.e., where [alpha] = 0[deg.], as indicated in Figure 2B and is ready
to enter the drag region, the on/off switch 4 is switched off.
At
this moment when the on/off switch 4 is off, the force of the magnetic
drag ceases. Nevertheless, immediately after this neutral point, where
[alpha] = +X[deg.], indicated in Figure 2C, the opposing force or back
energy caused by the collapse of the magnetic field inside the stator
coil 2 acts upon the rotor 6, inverting the polarity of the magnetic
field and forcing the rotor 6 to move away in the attempt to reach
equilibrium or the neutral point of the movement of the rotor. It must
be clarified that such effect is a combined effect between the energy
gained by the observed negative peaks of voltage (and current) provoked
by turning on and off the switch 4, and the magnetic energy derived
from the collapse of the magnetic field, which inverts polarity of the
field trapped in the coil, thus exerting a force of repulsion upon the
magnetic rotor 6. As indicated in Figures 2A and 2C the representative
lines X of magnetic field invert direction, provoking the polarity
inversion of the magnetic field of the coil 2.
Thus, according to
the construction described above, the electromagnetic motor of the
present invention provokes two phenomena almost at the same time due to
the short time interval between the electric current pulses generated.
First, when the on/off switch 4 is turned on, the battery feeds the
stator coil of the motor that builds up a magnetic field proportional
to the supplied voltage, which attracts the magnet of the rotor to the
position of equilibrium - immediately after that, the second phenomenon
takes place, when the on/off switch 4 is turned off, causing the
magnetic field of the coil to collapse, which is responsible for the
generation of the back energy arising from the surrounding scalar field
that corresponds to the complement of the first component of the
essential energy trapped inside the coil and coming from the power
source. One can easily verify that the voltage corresponding to this
back energy is tenths times superior to the power supply voltage.
Besides
this evident power gain due to the back energy (or complementary
energy), the fact of pulsating DC current, preferably supplied by a
battery, without phase alternation like in the case of AC current
supply, gives the following results: i) minimized counter electromotive
force in the case of constant and low torque applications, for the
magnetic rotor rotates freely along more than half the rotor cycle; ii)
minimized drag, for the magnetic field of the stator coil is turned off
immediately after the rotor magnet 6 passes over the point of
equilibrium, which lets it rotate freely until other pulses are applied
at specific points; iii) zero hysteresis, since the feeding current is
a direct and pulsed current, so there is no polarity alternation of the
source; iv) minimized eddy currents, because, either there are no iron
or laminated silicon steel cores in the stator coils and/or the
magnetic fields created inside the coil 2 - both during power supply
and back energy supply are parallel to the body of the motor, thus
yielding close-to-zero the induced currents. Besides the reduction
and/or elimination of hysteresis and eddy currents losses, the
inventors remark that heat losses in the conductors caused by the Joule
effect are also greatly minimized and consequently, there is no
considerable temperature rise, which improves both efficiency and
useful life of the motor (insulation), since there is no risk of
overheating. Besides this, as can noticed, during the functioning of
the electromagnetic motor according to the invention, the power supply
3 is not constantly active, as it only inputs energy into the circuit
when the pulses are given by the actuator 8 upon the on/off switch 4.
As result, the consumption of the battery is greatly reduced when
compared to the prior art motors, and this allows develop new
battery-built-in for currently non-portable equipment, with higher
efficiency and durability.
Thus, in short, the electromagnetic
motor, object of the invention, is develop take in consideration the
principle of capture and harness energy generated by the collapse of
the magnetic field which takes place when the energy contained in the
coil 2 is drained off. Such energy is responsible for the inversion of
polarity of the magnetic field that acts upon the magnetic rotor.
The
Figures 3 and 4 illustrate alternative embodiments comprising a series
of electromagnetic motors according to the present invention. Figure 3
shows the combination of a series of rotors 6' disposed side by side
along the same shaft 5'. Each rotor 6' rests inside its own stator
coil, so as to add torque to the shaft ends.
This embodiment is
particularly used for power equipment with longitudinal bodies, because
the association of individual torques in the same shaft adds. This
combination can work with lower voltages than those used for
conventional motors, and thus operate with batteries and reach high
efficiency.
In addition, the use of higher voltages increases torque considerably.
The
Figure 4 is a drawing of another combination of motors interconnected
by means of gears 10, which depending on their rate, can increase or
diminish torque (or speed) at the ends of the rotating shaft.
Through
this alternative embodiment, the phenomenon of resonance causes the
motors to interact with one another at distance, still increasing the
efficiency of the mechanical system as a whole. In other words, besides
the action of the coils upon the magnetic rotors, the entire system
benefits from the resonance between the magnetic rotors. As a result,
the torque and the consumption are optimized.
In an alternative
embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated especially in
Figure 5, the motor of the present invention comprises a secondary
circuit incorporated to the circuit of the motor illustrated in Figure
1 , being that its objective is to promote the feedback and increase
the motor work power.
Most specifically, the feedback circuit is
aimed at powering the stator coil(s) and/or eventually the rotors made
by electromagnets so that the motor of the present invention can work
as a mechanical power output amplifier. This circuit basically consists
in the addition of a full wave rectifying bridge, one or more parallel
capacitors and a synchronized switch system made by relays,
transistors, mechanical switch or any other one.
The Figure 5
constitutes a schematic representation of how the secondary circuit is
interrelated to the original basic circuit indicated in Figure 1. The
circuit in black lines is the primary circuit, i.e., the one defined as
basic original and similar to the one in Figure 1 , being powered by
the external power source, battery or rectified mains power supply. The
circuit in gray (or lighter) lines is the secondary feedback circuit by
capacitive discharges, object of the present alternative embodiment.
As illustrated in Figure 5, in addition to the one illustrated in
Figure 1
, introduce firstly a second switch ChV, disposed between the positive
terminal P 1 of the power source 3 and the positive terminal T1 of coil
2 of the primary circuit. The ChV switch is synchronized to the Ch1 4
switch, i.e., it shall be instantaneously switched in order to be
always closed when the Ch 1 4 switch is closed and it should be opened
when the Ch1 4 switch is opened.
The secondary feedback circuit
starts with the alternating current rectification generated by rotor 6
turning magnet in terminals T1 and T2 of coil 2. This alternating
current is rectified from terminals P5 and P6 of the rectifying bridge
10, which supplies full wave direct current between the positive P3 and
negative P4 terminals. These terminals are connected, respectively, to
the positive P7 and negative P8 terminals of a capacitor or,
alternatively, to a capacitor bank disposed in parallel 11 , configured
adequately in order to meet the needs and objectives proposed herein.
The
capacitor (or capacitors) 11 accumulates enough energy to keep the
voltage above the primary power voltage 3 due to the increase in
voltage coming from the rotor 6 turning inside the coil 2. This
characteristic allows it to work as a second independent and DC power
source that feeds a second pulse, inverse to the first one, and/or
other pulses in other coils coiled around the same rotor 6. This
process is denominated as "capacitive discharge feedback" and
constitutes the turbo-electromagnetic system described hereinbefore.
The
positive pole P7 of the capacitor 11 is connected to the opposite
polarity terminal, i.e., the negative terminal T2 of the coil 2 through
a third Ch2 switch, identical to the Ch1 4 switch of the first circuit.
The capacitor's negative pole P8 is connected, on its turn, through a
fourth Ch2' switch that is synchronized with Ch2, to the positive
terminal T1 of the coil.
This Ch2' switch shall be switched
instantly in order to be always closed when the Ch2 switch is closed
and the other switches Ch1 4 and Ch1' of the other circuit are opened,
and it shall always be opened when Ch2 switch is opened and the other
switches Ch1 4 and Ch1' of the other circuit are closed. In other
words, the primary and secondary circuits switch status work inversely,
when one circuit is opened, the other should be always closed.
The
closing and opening of the Ch 1 4 and Ch2 switches are excluding, i.e.,
both should never be closed or opened at the same time during the motor
functioning.
The closing and opening of Ch 1' and Ch2' switches
are synchronized with the closing and opening of Ch 1 4 and Ch2
switches respectively. Always when Ch1 4 is opened, Ch1' will be opened
and always when Ch1 4 is closed, Ch1' will be closed. The same is valid
for Ch2', always when Ch2 is opened, Ch2' will be opened and always
when Ch2 is closed, Ch2' will be closed.
The closing moment of the
main excluding switches Ch 1 4 and Ch2 is defined by the passage of the
referred actuator magnet 8 fixed in the turning shaft 5 of the rotor 6.
Thus, one can obtain two pulses, one directly from the power source 3
of the primary circuit and another inverse coming from the secondary
circuit capacitor 11. As a result, the switches Ch 1 4 and Ch2 shall be
positioned with a discrepancy of 180 degrees one from another, in such
a way that when the actuator magnet 8 passes by the switch Ch1 4, due
to the turning of the shaft 5 and closes together with the switch Ch1',
the synchronized switches of the second circuit Ch2 and Ch2' are
opened, blocking the passage of current through the secondary circuit.
After half a cycle of rotor 6, the switch Ch2 closes together with the
switch Ch2', and the switches Ch1 and ChT are opened, in such a way
that this cycle repeats itself indefinitely.
This synchronicity of
closing and opening of the pair of switches Ch1 4 and ChV and the pair
of switches Ch2 and Ch2' guarantees that at each half a cycle of rotor
6 turn, the direction of the magnetic flow lines of the coil of the
stator 1 alternates 180 degrees due to the positive/negative polarity
change of terminals T1 and T2 of the coil 2 and contributes to the turn
of rotor 6.
When the terminal T1 of coil 2 is positive and T2 is
negative, the pulse is called "direct pulse", since the primary circuit
is closed and the secondary circuit is opened. After half a cycle of
rotor 6, the switches commute and terminal T1 becomes negative and T2
positive. In this latter case, the pulse is called "inverse pulse",
since the primary circuit is opened and the secondary circuit is closed
allowing the motor's feedback.
In a more advantageous way, the
rotor used in the motor object of the present invention comprises a
sole compact piece manufactured from a neodymium magnet with a
magnetization degree varying between N24 to N54. However, it becomes
clear that the above-mentioned rotor can also be manufactured from
other materials such as for example ceramic ferrite, or those that use
rare earth elements as raw material such as neodymium, samarium-
cobalt, praseodymium, cerium, etc. Also, preferably but not as a
limitation to the present invention, the above-mentioned rotor
comprises a sole and compact disc shape with a hole in the center, that
is magnetized radially such as illustrated in Figure 6.
However,
it should be clear that this discoid aspect of the rotor is only
preferable and do not discard other geometries and magnet
configurations such as compacted cylindrical magnets with a hole in the
middle and magnetized axially, stacked cylinder magnets, conic, ovoid
and even spherical, the last ones being the most efficient ones, but,
presently reveal complexity and high manufacture costs. Additionally,
as illustrated in Figures 7A and 7B, in order to increase the motor
efficiency and capacity of the present invention, the coil that
involves the radially magnetized neodymium discoid comprises an
asymmetric format with a topology similar to a cone trunks, constituted
by enameled or covered copper or aluminum wire, of any gauge, projected
to work with tensions that vary from 9 to 12 volts, passing by the
domestic voltages of 127 and 220 volts or superior up to industrial
voltages.
Similarly, it is worth to highlight the fact that the
coil topology is also only preferable and does not discard the
possibility of using coils with a symmetric cylindrical or annular
topology, that are normally used in many applications known in the art.
More specifically, Figures 8A, 8B, 8C, 8D and 8E depict alternative
embodiments for the electromagnetic motor of the present invention, all
of them with the purpose of achieving better efficiency and
consequently work capacity. In these assemblies it is possible to
noticed that the disposition of the coils is altered to increase the
number of pulses that generate voltage peaks and electric current along
one cycle of the rotor.
Figure 8A illustrates an assembly in which
coil 2 is comprised of four sectors positioned 90 degrees out of phase,
so that two pulses are generated along the rotation cycle of rotor 6.
This is called biphasic assembly.
Figure 8B shows an assembly in
which the coil comprises six sectors out of phase with each other, so
that the feeding pulses of electric current are applied in three
specific points of the rotation cycle of the rotor. In this case the
electromagnetic motor is called tri-phase assembly.
Figure 8C
shows a construction in which the coil 2 is divided into eight
out-of-phase sectors, which requires four pulsation points along the
rotation cycle of the rotor, being called tetra-phase assembly.
These
arrangements are more compact, and their configurations take advantage
of more pulses (direct and inverse pulse - in both coil directions)
along the same cycle of the rotor, which speeds up the rotor and
stabilizes torque when heavier loads are applied to the shaft.
The
Figures 8D and 8E illustrate a coil configuration that is especially
advantageous, in which the coil in the primary circuit holds an
asymmetric format similar to the cone trunk. In the secondary circuit,
the coil holds a similar format, even though it overlaps the spirals
with a discrepancy of 90 degrees in relation to the first one forming a
kind of beehive.
As
a practical example of the advantages and technical effects given by
the electromagnetic motor according to the present invention when
compared to the conventional motors known in the state of the art, it
is possible to use any electrical receptor like a domestic fan, for
example.
A typical and regular medium size domestic fan found in
the market today is manufactured to consume around 120W of energy (P).
The voltage (U) of the public power grid used for such devices is
usually 127V (or 220V). Let's consider it 120V for easy calculation.
Therefore, according to basic electrical theories, the electric current
(i) flowing through the motor of this fan is 1A (let's consider this
conventional motor's power factor = 1), because:
= p / U = 120W /
120V = 1A In other words, this electric appliance requires 1 Ampere of
electric current to produce the power of 120W, which rotates the fan at
a determined speed.
When this motor of the prior art was actually
replaced by one equivalent electromagnetic motor of the present
invention, it was possible to obtain the same mechanical work (i.e.,
the fan blade rotating at the same speed) with two 12V batteries in
series (24V total voltage) and only 0.5 Amp flowing through the motor
of the fan. Therefore, the power required by the motor of the fan to
produce the same mechanical work is: P = U x I = 24 x 0.5 = 12W
The
comparison between the two fans, one with the conventional motor of the
state of the art and the other with the electromagnetic motor of the
present invention, revealed that this latter is about ten times more
efficient (consumed 10 times less energy) than the motor of the current
prior art, due to the fact that the electromagnetic motor of the
present invention is able to harness the back energy captured by the
voltage peaks together with the collapse of the magnetic field trapped
inside the coil, when the electric power supply is turned on and off at
precise positions, as mentioned hereinbefore.
Alternatively, the
rotation shaft of the present electromagnetic motor can be attached to
a mechanism that, through the mechanical torque generated by the motor,
works as a power generator. In addition, the present adaptation can be
attached to, or even replace generators ran on primary sources of
energy.
Although the present invention is described in relation to
the motors used in devices called electric receptors, it is still
possible to wind a second coil around the first coil, so that the
second coil captures the back energy or back voltage by induction.
Through the adaptation of a filament equivalent to a diode, in such a
way to be opposed to the back energy flow, it is possible to generate a
resistance, which will be heat the said filament, such as happened in
the water heater.
Therefore, the electromagnetic motor, object of
the present invention would be work as an heater device, which obtain
heat through Joule effect, without consuming the energy from the
primary source, since the consumed energy for heat is provided by the
back voltage peaks.
Thus, in regard to all of what has been
exposed hereinbefore, it is clear that the electromagnetic motor,
object of the present invention, can obtain a substantial energy gain,
due to voltage peaks and magnetic field collapses, as well as
considerable reduction of losses, considered intrinsic to the motors of
the current prior art. Besides, in its alternative construction a
circuit with feedback properties promoting a yet superior reduction of
energy consumption and increase in the motor performance is obtained.
