OSTI ID:6465898
A vehicle is described comprising a vehicle frame fitted with axles and wheels rotatably carried by the axles; an engine block mounted on the frame; a plurality of magnetic cylinders provided in the engine block and a plurality of magnetic pistons disposed in the magnetic cylinders, respectively, in reciprocating relationship, the magnetic cylinders having a first magnetic polarity in one end and a second magnetic polarity in the opposite end for alternately attracting and repelling the magnetic pistons, respectively; a crankshaft journalled for rotation in the engine block; power transmission means connecting the crankshaft to at least one of the axles in driving relationship; and connecting rods connecting the crankshaft to the magnetic pistons, respectively, whereby reciprocation of the magnetic pistons in the magnetic cylinders effects rotation of the crankshaft; a cylinder head provided on the engine block and piston electromagnetic means provided in the cylinder head above the magnetic cylinders and the magnetic pistons, respectively for alternately attracting and repelling the magnetic pistons; at least one battery carried by the frame; and polarity timing means electrically connected to the battery and the piston electromagnetic means, for alternating the polarity of the piston electromagnet means, whereby electric current is supplied to the piston electromagnetic means in current-reversing relationship to alternately attract and repel the magnetic pistons in reciprocating relationship responsive to operation of the polarity timing means.
