Abstract

An apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus may include a pulse device that may include a magnet. The pulse device may be configured to move the magnet in a reciprocating motion. The apparatus may include a magnet wheel that may include a magnet. A magnetic field produced by the magnet of the pulse device may repulse the magnet of the magnet wheel and turn the magnet wheel. The apparatus may include an axle connected to the magnet wheel. The axle may rotate in response to the magnet wheel turning. A system and method are also disclosed.

Claims (60)

1. An apparatus comprising:

a pulse device comprising a magnet, wherein the pulse device is configured to move the magnet in a reciprocating motion;

a magnet wheel comprising a magnet, wherein a magnetic field produced by the magnet of the pulse device repulses the magnet of the magnet wheel and turns the magnet wheel;

an axle connected to the magnet wheel that rotates in response to the magnet wheel turning;

a trigger wheel connected to the axle, wherein the trigger wheel comprises a magnet disposed a surface of the trigger wheel; and

a sensor plate comprising a sensor that detects a proximity of a magnet of the trigger wheel.

2. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the pulse device further comprises:

an oscillator;

a shaft coupled to the oscillator; and

a lever comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end couples to the shaft and the second end couples to the magnet of the pulse device.

3. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the magnet of the magnet wheel comprises a shield that covers a portion of a surface of the magnet.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a magnetic field produced by the magnet of the pulse device repulses the magnet of the magnet wheel in response to the magnet of the pulse device moving into a proximity of the magnet of the magnet wheel.

5. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a timing control connected to the sensor device, wherein the timing control is configured to detect, from the sensor device, a rotational speed of the axle.

6. The apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the timing control, in response to detecting the rotational speed of the axle, is configured to adjust at least one of:

a speed of the reciprocating motion of the pulse device; and

a speed of rotation of a timing wheel connected to the axle, wherein the timing wheel is configured to adjust the speed of rotation of the axle in response to the timing control adjusting the speed of rotation of the timing wheel.

7. The apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising a generator connected to the axle.

8. A system comprising:

a pulse device comprising a magnet, wherein the pulse device is configured to move the magnet in a reciprocating motion;

a magnet wheel comprising a magnet, wherein a magnetic field produced by the magnet of the pulse device repulses the magnet of the magnet wheel and turns the magnet wheel;

an axle connected to the magnet wheel that rotates in response to the magnet wheel turning;

a sensor device comprising:

a trigger wheel connected to the axle, wherein the trigger wheel comprises a magnet disposed a surface of the trigger wheel, and

a sensor plate comprising a sensor that detects a proximity of the magnet of the trigger wheel; and

a timing control connected to the sensor device, wherein the timing control is configured to detect, from the sensor device, a rotational speed of the axle.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the pulse device further comprises:

an oscillator;

a shaft coupled to the oscillator; and

a lever comprising a first end and a second end, wherein the first end couples to the shaft and the second end couples to the magnet of the pulse device.

10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the magnet of the magnet wheel comprises:

a neodymium magnet.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein a magnetic field produced by the magnet of the pulse device repulses the magnet of the magnet wheel in response to the magnet of the pulse device moving into a proximity of the magnet of the magnet wheel.

12. The system of claim 8 , wherein the timing control, in response to detecting the rotational speed of the axle, is configured to adjust at least one of:

a speed of the reciprocating motion of the pulse device; and

a speed of rotation of a timing wheel connected to the axle, wherein the timing wheel is configured to adjust the speed of rotation of the axle in response to the timing control adjusting the speed of rotation of the timing wheel.

13. The system of claim 8 , further comprising a generator connected to the axle.

14. A method comprising:

providing a pulse device comprising a magnet;

providing a magnet wheel comprising a magnet;

providing an axle connected to the magnet wheel;

moving the magnet of the pulse device in a reciprocating motion;

repulsing, in response to moving the magnet of the pulse device, the magnet of the magnet wheel;

rotating the axle in response to the magnet wheel rotating;

providing a sensor device comprising a trigger wheel connected to the axle, wherein the trigger wheel comprises a magnet disposed a surface of the trigger wheel and a sensor plate comprising a sensor; and
