1. Apparatus for generating rotational energy by means of manipulation of magnetic and electromagnetic fields, the apparatus comprising:

  • a rotational energy generator in which a central shaft is integrally joined with one or more rotors, each said rotor having, at or near its most distant radial points, a regularly spaced array of permanent magnets, said permanent magnet array comprising one or more mounted permanent magnets each of which are adapted to maintain and radiate a steady magnetic field following repeated exposure to alternating magnetic fields, said permanent magnet array further adapted to travel radially within a circular track housed within a stator, said rotational energy generator further being adapted with transmission means for output rotational energy power to be delivered to a target consumptive point;

    said circular track being adapted to provide housing and electrical communication for an array of electromagnets, said electromagnet array comprising one or more electromagnets which may be regularly spaced so as to be proximate to the permanent magnets of said permanent magnet array as each said electromagnet rotates about said shaft and radially about said track;

    each said electromagnet being adapted with a primary electromagnetic coil to generate an electromagnetic field when supplied with a desired electromotive force, each said electromagnet being further adapted of material and dimensions so as to permit said electromagnetic field to be rapidly developed and sustained and to provide a magnetic flux created when an electromotive force is applied to said primary electromagnetic coil, and then to rapidly lose said magnetic flux when said electromotive force is switched off from the said primary coil of said electromagnet, or to allow said primary electromagnet coil to be electrically isolated from either a power source or ground so as to maintain and electrical status quo for a desired period and trap electrons within said primary coil, and to further be capable of rapidly reversing said magnetic flux orientation when said electromotive force is reversed through the inductive coil of each said electromagnet or is passed through an alternative reversing electromagnet;

    each said electromagnet primary coil being in electrical communication with a power supply, said power supply further comprising an source of electrical energy capable of being released in bursts of electrical current as may be directed from one or more switches, said power supply being selected from any component known to have the capability of reliably delivering and releasing said electrical energy in precise bursts, said power supply further being adapted to receive electrical energy in desired amounts and to reliably and efficiently store said electrical energy for later release, and said power supply further adapted to receive and transform said power from said power generator output for any other desirable source into a proper form for power supply storage; and

    controlling means for managing and controlling the storage, trapping, or reversal of electrons within each said primary coil, and release of electrical energy to achieve optimal timing and quantity of the delivery, trapping of electrons within said primary coil, and reversing of electrons from said power supply to each said circumferential electromagnet is coil, said controlling means further comprising sensors detecting and communicating the rate of rotation of said generator shaft, the position of each said permanent magnet, and any other data useful in determining the optimal times for delivery, trapping, and release of said bursts of electrons and the amount of electromotive force to be applied to produce each said burst of electric current, receivers to receive input signals from said sensors, and relays and switches adapted to facilitate said current release.
