Abstract

An input cam having a recessed track for establishing a desired dwell time for a plurality of rotatable permanent magnets and an output cam having a recessed track for maximizing the harnessing of linear motion energy and to apply the harnessed energy to a rotary output are provided to improve the efficiency of a magnetic transmission.

Abstract

A permanent magnet is rotated about an axis extending between opposing north and south poles. The magnetic field of the rotated permanent magnet interacts with magnetic fields of permanent magnets carried by a shuttle for repelling and attracting the fixed permanent magnets, and providing a linear reciprocating movement of the shuttle responsive to the rotary motion of the rotated permanent magnet.
