Direct Conversion of Magnetic Field of
Constant Magnets Energy and Its Application
In Power Engineering and Mechanics
Global and ever increasing energetic and
ecological crises of the Earth prompt scientists
and engineers to scan for new alternative,
pollution-free sources of energy, among them
based on constant magnets and electrets [1-4].
The well-known magnetic engines (ME) by
Serl, Minato and Floyd are unfortunately not
perfect, but they marked the beginning of ME
history and development [1]. The article lists
original designs of new, totally non-current ME.
In spite of the fact, that magnetic nature has
not been totally solved yet, constant magnets
are really bringing us to revolution in energetic
and mechanics. Huge headway in the sphere of
constant magnets permits us to anticipate in the
not too distant future the creation of magnetic
motor generators and other useful devices based
on their principles, with capacity up to 100- 200
kW.
Non-contact Magnetic Rotational Bearing of
Rotation
Bearings are the most widespread and
important element of many devices, ranging
from a motorcar to a spaceship and rocket.
However, the mechanical bearings have
practically exhausted their potentialities. They
wear out rapidly, need regular maintenance and
are short-lived. Moreover, mechanical bearings
have a limitation on speed of rotation and
reliability that limits the area of their usage.
There are electromagnetic non-contact
rotational bearings. Still they are rather
complicated and expensive devices. Headway
in updating the properties of constant magnets
allows creating a high-capacity, simple in design
and totally non-contact magnetic bearing. Fig.

cylindrical magnets 2, 3 compensates the loads
on shaft 6 on radial axis. Force repulsion of end
magnets 4, 5 from stator and rotor magnets 2, 3
compensates axial loads of the bearing. As a
result we have a self-balancing, totally nocurrent
magnetic dynamic system of noncontact
shaft suspension 6. Such a progressive
and prospective application of constant magnets
allows creating a cheap non-contact bearing,
simple in design, with no outage and with
unlimited economic life.
To simplify the draft, Fig. 1 doesn’t show some
small parts of the magnetic bearing.

The main distinctive feature of this simple and
elegant engineering solution is the unique
combination of magnets along the two
coordinate axes to automatically compensate
axial ad radial load on the shaft of the bearing.
If high-tech is applied to create a precise model
of such a non-contact suspension, observing the
minimal clearances of a split millimeter width
between the magnets and if modern magnets
