3-D Correlated Electromagnets

Correlated magnetics can be implemented using a three-dimensional array of electromagnets, where a control system can control whether a given electromagnet is off, a positive magnetic source, or a negative source.  Fig. 1 depicts a cylinder within a cylinder. 

Fig. 1.  Permanent Magnets on First Cylinder and 3D Electromagnet Array on Second Cylinder

Referring to Fig. 1, a first cylinder has surrounding it a correlated magnetic structure of permanent magnetic sources corresponding to six instances (or code modulos) of a 7x7 code.  In contact (or near contact) with the permanent magnetic sources is an electromagnet (EM) array on a second cylinder having a first state represented by t=n that correlates with the permanent magnetic sources.  Also shown is a second state of the EM array represented by t=n+1, and a third state represented by t=n+2.  Basically, by changing the state of the EM array, the first cylinder can precisely control the movement of the second cylinder.  A EM array can be used to turn a cylinder having a magnetic structure and can be associated with another cylinder, a track, or a larger EM array.  Fig. 2 depicts a sphere with a sphere and an optional sphere in which a sphere could also reside.

Referring to Fig. 2, a first sphere has surrounding it a correlated magnetic structure of permanent magnetic sources corresponding to six instances (or code modulos) of a 7x7 code.  In contact (or near contact) with the permanent magnetic sources is an electromagnet (EM) array on a second sphere having a first state represented by t=n that correlates with the permanent magnetic sources.  Also shown is a second state of the EM array represented by t=n+1, and a third state represented by t=n+2.  Basically, by changing the state of the EM array, the first sphere can precisely control the movement of the second sphere.  A EM array can be used to turn a sphere having a magnetic structure and can be associated with another sphere, cylinder, a track, or a larger EM array.  Fig. 3 depicts a cone-shaped container and a sphere along with a cylinder, a sphere, and piston.

Referring to Fig. 3, a sphere has surrounding it a correlated magnetic structure of permanent magnetic sources corresponding to six instances (or code modulos) of a 7x7 code.  In contact (or near contact) with the permanent magnetic sources is an electromagnet (EM) array on the inside of a cone-shaped container as indicated by the dash lines.  The EM Array can be used to move the sphere up or down to control flow of a gas or liquid, which corresponds to a correlated magnetic valve.  Similarly, a sphere or a piston within a cylinder can be similarly moved to correspond to a correlated magnetic hydraulics system.  Generally, 3D EM arrays can be used to precisely move objects having correlated magnetic structures.
