THE CONCEPT OF MAG-DRIVE POWER TRANSMISSION USING MAGNETIC ENERGY

Abstract

The Law of Conservation of Energy has stated that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, but the energy can be converted from one form to another form. Besides, the law also stated conserved energy loss over time, which means the energy loss in every second. Energy conservation is efforts made to consume lesser energy, while increase the efficiency of converted energy or reduce the amount of services used. In this project, magnetic-drive (magnetic energy transmission) was used as power transmission method instead of using belt drive and chain drive. In theoretical, magnetic energy provides no friction when it is used to convert to another form of energy. To test out the efficiency of this power transmission method easily, DC motor generator was used. The recorded results were based on the output of DC motor generator. Then, different numbers of permanent magnet was used to test out the driven and driver disk. The most stable output power transmission of magnetic-drive was 9 small magnets in both drive and driven disks. Both disks’ magnets were built to repulse each other at 90 degrees. All the material used in this experiment were insulated (except electrical and electronic devices), to avoid the charge in conductor which may cause by the change of magnetic field.
