1. A magnetic motion device, comprising:
- (a) a traveling magnet having first and second traveling magnet ends, one pole of said traveling magnet being located at said first traveling magnet end and an opposite pole being located at said second traveling magnet end;
(b) a rail on which said traveling magnet travels, said rail having first and second rail ends with a first end magnet located at said first rail end and a second end magnet located at said second rail end, said first and second end magnets each having a pole at their traveling-magnet-proximate portion which repels said traveling magnet;
(c) a pivot point located at a predetermined position between said first and second rail ends, such that said rail is rotatable about said pivot point;
whereby said traveling magnet travels back and forth between said first and second end magnets, thereby causing said rail to rotate in a reciprocal fashion about said pivot point.

Abstract
A magnetic motion device is disclosed, wherein a permanent magnet slides back and forth along a pivoting rail due to the interaction between the slide'"'"'s magnetic field, the magnetic fields produced by a permanent/electromagnet combination at each end of the rail, and gravitational force. The ends of the rail thereby move up and down in a reciprocating, “see-saw” fashion. Power-take-off mechanisms can be connected in any suitable manner to the device, so that the motion of the rail can power an external device such as a pump.

13. A magnetic motion device, comprising:
-
(a) a traveling magnet having first and second traveling magnet ends; (b) a rail on which said traveling magnet travels, said rail having first and second rail ends and means for repelling said traveling magnet as said traveling magnet approaches each rail end; (c) means for rotating said rail about a pivot point located between said first and second rail ends; whereby said traveling magnet travels back and forth between said repelling means, thereby causing said rail to rotate in a reciprocal fashion about said pivot point. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
