Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022246446A1] The torque-increasing device includes multiple rotating discs, rings, or rotors, each including embedded or affixed magnets. The discs are canted toward each other, thus passing closer to each during the first half of a rotation, and further apart during the second half of a rotation. As the adjacent magnets attract each other, the attractive force is split into two vectors: a vector that is perpendicular to an imaginary plane that divides the discs, and a torque vector that is parallel to the face of the rotors. Disruption of the attraction of the magnets on either the upper or lower half of the rotor, or a segment of the upper or lower half, unbalances the rotors and captures a torque.
