Abstract:
The gyroscopically stabilized magnetic suspension system constitutes a base assembly which itself constitutes a narrow beam source of electromagnetic energy disposed at substantially the radial center of the base assembly. The base assembly also includes a first toroidal magnet surrounding the source of electromagnetic energy, the first toroidal magnet having a polarity transverse to its toroidal plane. Also provided within the base assembly are first anti-spin magnets disposed beyond the outer toroidal radius of the first toroidal magnet, the anti-spin magnets having the same magnetic axis as the first toroidal magnet but, however, having an opposite polarity thereto. The system also constitutes a suspended assembly itself constituting an electromagnetic energy receiving and converting means, and a motor disposed upon the electromagnetic receiving means and powered thereby, the motor having an axis of rotation and alignment with the axial center of the first toroidal magnet. Also included in the suspended assembly is a second toroidal magnet surrounding the motor and radially connected to the axis of the motor, the second toroidal magnet having its plane disposed parallel to the plane of the first toroidal magnet, the second toroidal magnet having a polarity transverse to its toroidal plane, the polarity opposite to the polarity of the first toroidal magnet, thereby forming a repulsion mode between the first and second toroidal magnets. Also included within the suspended assembly are second anit-spin magnets, thereby forming an attraction mode therebetween adapted to assure a stable perimeter about the rotating, suspended second toroidal magnet.
