  • at least one piston reciprocatingly movable in said inner chamber of said at least one cylinder;

    means for converting a reciprocating movement of said at least one piston to move an outside object;

    means for reciprocatingly moving said at least one piston in said at least one cylinder, said reciprocatingly moving means including magnet means with at least one electromagnet connected with said cylinder and at least another electromagnet connected with said piston, so that when a polarity of said magnet means is changed, a magnetic interaction of said electromagnets with one another causes said reciprocating movement of said piston; and
