Method and System Involving Magnetic Revolution

Simple SummaryContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

This patent describes a novel method and system for generating rotational or translational motion, or for creating variable electromagnetic fields, by exploiting a unique magnetomechanical effect. The core invention involves causing a magnetic body to rotate about its own magnetization axis solely due to the interplay of magnetic and mechanical torques—without requiring direct external rotation or alignment of the magnetic axis. This effect enables the movement and control of objects, transmission or conversion between rotational and linear movements, load lifting, actuation, sensing, and energy storage, all through magnetic and mechanical interactions within specifically designed systems.

Use CasesContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Elevators or lifting systems that operate using magnetically actuated motion, providing smooth and controllable lifting without traditional cables or hydraulics.
• Vehicles or robots with wheels powered by magnetomechanical effects, enabling non-conventional drive mechanisms and potentially reduced mechanical coupling.
• Sensors that detect inclination or position changes based on the magnetic revolution effect, usable in robotics or industrial automation.
• Magnetically-driven valves for controlling fluid flow with high precision and reliability, suitable for use in chemical processing or medical devices.
• Energy storage systems where potential energy is stored and released by lifting and dropping magnetic bodies, potentially used for grid storage, renewable energy, or uninterruptible power supplies.
• Nanorobotics and micro-scale devices where traditional mechanical systems cannot be miniaturized effectively but magnetomechanical actuation is feasible.
• Magnetic oscillators for generating time- and position-varying electromagnetic fields in advanced electronic circuits or microwave applications.

BenefitsContent extracted from patent full text and abstract with AI.

• Allows movement and actuation without direct mechanical linkage, improving reliability and reducing wear and tear.
• Enables precise control and transmission/conversion between rotational and linear motion with high flexibility.
• Can be applied across multiple scales, from large machines (e.g., elevators) to micro/nanoscale devices and robotics.
• Reduces reliance on traditional mechanical components like gears, cables, and pulleys, lowering maintenance needs.
• Supports unique sensing and actuation mechanisms not possible with conventional systems.
• Offers new methods of energy storage and retrieval, which may improve efficiency or enable novel power management solutions.
• Applicable in environments where direct mechanical access is limited, or where reduced mechanical complexity is desirable.

Patent Abstract

The invention relates to a method for moving an object, transmitting or converting rotational and linear movements, or the creation of varying electromagnetic fields. Further, the invention relates to a system using the method. The method and system of the invention make use of a novel magnetomechanical effect causing a rotation of a magnetic body (2) about a rotation axis coinciding with the magnetization axis of the magnetic body (2) exclusively under the common action of two or more competing torques acting on the magnetic body (2), one of the torques being a magnetic torque.
