The site doesn't do anything; means I probably have to turn on JS/ActiveX/Flash - bah!

Is this another gererator?

all your base are belong to us

Cycclone Magnetic Engines is the concept of using permanent magnets in a configuration that supplies mechanical power on demand. To offer an alternative to the ubiquitous internal combustion engine that is commercially viable, one has to imitate the manner and principles that they currently operate under. That is to, accelerate, decelerate, maintain a required revolutions per minute while responding to an increase or decrease in load and to have the ability to be operated by humans in a fool proof fashion.

CME is able to apply this concept by concentrating development on the control and configuration of the applied magnets. The shape and composition of the magnets is the technical heart of the end product and one of our most guarded components. The composition of the metals that the magnets are mounted to or applied with, is another area that gives accurate control.

The Magnets
Magnets attract certain materials - such as iron, nickel, cobalt, certain steels and other alloys. They also exert an attractive or repulsive force on other magnets, have an effect on electrical conductors, and have an effect on electrically charged particles.

Based on these effects, magnets transform energy from one form to another, without any permanent loss of their own energy. Examples of magnet functions are;

*
Mechanical to mechanical - such as attraction and repulsion
*
Mechanical to electrical - such as generators and microphones
*
Electrical to mechanical - such as motors, loudspeakers, charged particle deflection

There are four classes of modern commercialized magnets, each based on their material composition. Within each class is a family of grades with their own magnetic properties. These general classes are;

*
Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB)
*
Samarium Cobalt (SmCo)
*
Ceramic (also known as Ferrite magnets)
*
Alnico (Al Ni Co)

NdFeB and SmCo are collectively known as Rare Earth magnets because they are both composed of materials from the Rare Earth group of elements in the lanthanides section of the Periodic Table of the Elements. NdFeB is the most recent commercial addition to the family of modern magnet materials. At room temperatures, NdFeB magnets exhibit the highest properties of all magnet materials.

The effect of time on modern magnets is minimal. Studies have shown that permanent magnets will see changes immediately after magnetization. These changes, known as "magnetic creep", occur as less stable domains are affected by fluctuations in thermal or magnetic energy, even in a thermally stable environment.

If a permanent magnet is stored away from power lines, other magnets, high temperatures, and other factors that adversely affect the magnet, it will retain its magnetism essentially forever. Shock and vibration do not affect modern magnet materials, unless sufficient to physically damage the material.

The Mechanical Application
The internal combustion engine produces power through the mechanical advantage of a reciprocating crankshaft.These engines are configured as either two stroke or four stroke.

In a two stroke engine, there is a power stroke for every revolution, however, these engines have proven to be uneconomical in the modern environment. A four stroke engine has a power stroke for every two revolutions. Both engines use a scalene triangle with two fixed sides to convert the power stroke into usable rotating mechanical power. The concept behind CME is to replace the liquid fuel power stroke of two revolutions with a load line (permeance coefficient, Pc) power pulse in four to eight deliveries per revolution depending on the size and power requirement.

This will equate to four power strokes per revolution in a four cycle configuration eliminating the wasted energy of one and a half rotations of the four stroke engine. Further, the power consuming components of the reciprocating engine such as the camshaft, valve train oil pump, water pump, fan, and fuel pump in diesel engines will further advantage the CME as they will not be required.

When arrays of magnets are assembled, especially when the magnets must be placed in repelling positions, it is very important to consider safety issues. Modern magnet materials such as the Rare Earth types are extremely powerful, and when in repulsion they can behave as projectiles if adhesives were to break down. CME has identified several potential methods of mechanical retention.

Yup, smells like a gererator...

Nickel is magnetic.

The most difficult problem we had at GM in the late 60s while developing the permanent magnet DC motor was hysterisis loss from the opposing poles of stator and rotor. If the magnet was not resistant to field loss, the motor would not run for long as the permanent magnet ultimately lost its strength.
