Abstract

An energy-generating assembly comprises a disc assembly, multiple driver magnets, and magnet holders. The disc assembly comprises a disc member, an axle, and a plurality of circumferentially spaced propeller magnets. The magnets each comprise opposing pole ends. The propeller magnets are fastened to the disc member adjacent its outer periphery via like pole ends. Certain like pole ends thereby extend outwardly from the outer periphery. The disc member is rotatable about the axle axis. The magnet holders enable the user to adjustably mount each driver magnet adjacent the outer periphery. The like magnetic poles of the driver magnets and the propeller magnets are magnetically repulsive to one another. The driver magnets are linearly displaceable via the magnet holders. The linearly displaceable driver magnets function to selectively adjust the magnetic repulsion intermediate like magnetic poles for imparting rotational motion to the disc assembly, the disc assembly for generating energy.
