Bill Gates maylove his Ford Focus , but he ’s get programme to better on age - old combustion , applying — along with Nathan Myhrvold and others from theIntellectual Ventures gang — to patent a smart locomotive engine with electromagnetic pistons .

Theapplication , scoop up byour chum Todd at TechFlash , key a political machine that would have pistons , and would even sting some kind of fuel ( a “ reactant ” light by sparkplug ) , but would be aided by electromagnets to hasten up the recovery cognitive operation , and do away with the penury for alternating plunger . fundamentally , the plunger would fire , then be rapidly slammed back into closed emplacement by the magnetic military group . Theoretically , the piston could work entirely without fuel , using magnetism on both goal to apace repel and pull in .
Gates & Co. even introduced a sketch of a plunger engine with spark plugs on both sides , for rapidly firing the affair back and forth , or alternately using magnetism to slide the piston back and onward . ( This is presumably how some motors work already — engineers ? )
The neatest configuration , to me , is the one with two Walter Piston , end to conclusion , with a individual burning bedchamber and sparkplug . The fuel burns shoving both outward , and the electromagnetic chemical mechanism slams them back together .
It ’s actually a great patent of invention to read , specially if you ’re automatically minded . I am sure there ’s plenty I missed here , sohave a look . [ TechFlash ]
