Abstract

An electromagnetic drive using sealed magnetism to produce force vectoring. The force vectoring electromagnetic drive is configured to use a dislocated/differentiated pressure source to produce motion. When mounted to a vessel, the force vectoring electromagnetic drive re-introduces is configured to urge magnetic suction, which in turn causes magnetic repellence controlled by hydraulic piston assemblies, thereby enabling force vector propulsion for the vessel. The force vectoring electromagnetic drive re-introduces produced electrical current back into the system.

Claims (14)

1 . An electromagnetic drive system, comprising:

a plurality of sealed electromagnetic elements configured to produce a plurality of force vectors;

a pressure differential generator to selectively electrify said electromagnets elements; and

the plurality of a sealed electromagnetic elements comprises a spatial relationship between magnetically attractive and magnetically repellent electromagnetic elements, respectively, whereby selective electrification among said relative magnetically attractive and magnetically repellent electromagnetic elements changes variances to the force vectoring, whereby a vessel coupled to the electromagnetic drive system moves.

2 . The electromagnetic drive system of claim 1 , further comprising:

a hydraulic fluid driven piston system configured to physically move independent electromagnetic elements relative to the plurality of sealed electromagnetic elements, thereby altering the relative magnetic attraction and repulsion.

3 . The electromagnetic drive system of claim 2 , wherein selective electrification of the plurality of sealed electromagnetic elements enables a range of magnetic suction.

4 . The electromagnetic drive system of claim 3 , further comprising a hydraulic piston assembly configured to control the range of magnetic suction.

5 . The electromagnetic drive system of claim 4 , wherein the pressure differential generator employs pneumatically pressurized hydraulic fluid to produce an electricity source via fluid motion, wherein the plurality of sealed electromagnetic elements.

6 . The electromagnetic drive system of claim 5 , wherein a flow cycle of said hydraulic fluid urges a hydraulic fluid suction effect.

7 . An electromagnetic drive system, comprising:

a plurality of sealed electromagnetic elements configured to produce a plurality of force vectors;

a pressure differential generator to selectively electrify said electromagnets elements; and

the plurality of a sealed electromagnetic elements comprises a spatial relationship between magnetically attractive and magnetically repellent electromagnetic elements, respectively, whereby selective electrification among said relative magnetically attractive and magnetically repellent electromagnetic elements urges trust vectoring of a vessel to which the electromagnetic drive system is fixed.
