Abstract

An assembly for generating electricity includes a circular track configured to rotate about a first axis of rotation, the circular track comprising a first magnet having a face that is at an angle with respect to the first axis of rotation, a second magnet positioned at a center of the circular track, wherein a face of the second magnet is an opposite polarity to the face of the first magnet such that the second magnet repels the first magnet to rotate the circular track, and a device for converting rotational motion from the circular track into electricity.

Claims (18)

1. An assembly for generating electricity, the assembly comprising:

a circular track configured to rotate about a first axis of rotation, the circular track comprising a first magnet having a face that is at an angle with respect to the first axis of rotation;

a second magnet positioned at a center of the circular track, wherein a face of the second magnet is an opposite polarity to the face of the first magnet such that the second magnet repels the first magnet to rotate the circular track; and

a device for converting rotational motion from the circular track into electricity.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , the circular track further comprising a plurality of magnets in addition to the first magnet, wherein each of the plurality of magnets and the first magnet are equally spaced around the circumference of the circular track.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a plurality of magnets in addition to the second magnet, wherein the plurality of magnets are stacked on a top side of the second magnet to increase a magnetic strength of the second magnet.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second magnet is in the shape of a cone, a pyramid, a hemisphere, a conical frustum, or a cylinder.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the second magnet is formed by a plurality of magnets positioned on an outer surface of a support member, the support member in the shape of a cone, a pyramid, a hemisphere, a conical frustum, or a cylinder.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the first magnet is triangular in shape such that the face of the first magnet is at an angle with respect to the first axis of rotation and a side of the first magnet opposite the face is perpendicular to the first axis of rotation.

7. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising one or more support members extending from the circular track to the second magnet to support the second magnet.

8. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a housing configured to enclose the circular track and the second magnet, wherein the housing is structured to maintain a vacuum.

9. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein the device for converting rotational motion from the circular track into electricity is an electromagnetic device comprising a rotor and a stator.

10. The assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a shaft extending from the device for converting rotational motion from the circular track into electricity to the circular track, the shaft defining the first axis of rotation.

11. The assembly of claim 10 , further comprising a gear set positioned between the device for converting rotational motion from the circular track into electricity and the shaft, the gear set configured to increase or decrease a rotational speed of the device according to one or more different gear ratios.

12. The assembly of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first magnet or the second magnet are electromagnets, and wherein a portion of the electricity generated by the device for converting rotational motion from the circular track into electricity is utilized to power the at least one of the first magnet or the second magnet.

13. The assembly of claim 12 , wherein the circular track is constructed from a conductive material such that the portion of the electricity utilized to power the first magnet is provided to the first magnet via the circular track.

14. The assembly of claim 1 , the circular track assembly further comprising an upper track and a lower track, wherein the first magnet is positioned between the upper track and the lower track.

15. The assembly of claim 14 , wherein the lower track has a smaller radius than the upper track.
