Imagine the current electric
motor assembly with its coil and
brushes.
Now take the copper coil and its
magnets, and extend this ring
through repetition into a belt.
Instead of a single spindle,
there are two, one at each end
of this conveyor shaped motor.
The centrifugal force needed
to
maintain the rotation of the
motor would come from a flywheel
mounted flat above or below the
motor via a transfer gear of
some kind.
This might allow for the
equivalent of two larger motors
in one flatly mounted package
unless my idea is really really
bad and I am
missing/forgetting/not knowing
something.

So you are rolling out a rotary electric motor to make a linear motor. See link and then you are wrapping a belt around it like a tank tread. Belts, especially belts with any mass have problems with tight radius turns, centripetal force and all so it can't go too fast, but I don't see how you have added much to the linear motor idea. |

The main difference between a
linear motor and this one is
that a linear motor is linear,
this one is not. It is
rotational. |

I figured the two spindles
poles would have offset
timing, simulating the
spinning of one spindle with
both poles. |
|
| |
The flywheel is geared to the
two spindles to help keep it
going. |
|
| |
Now my design has two spindles
and is elongated, and the why
is to allow the packaging of a
very very large coil in
relation to its round
counterpart. In height that
is. |

One spindle could power, say,
the front wheels of a car, and
the rear spindle could power,
say, the rear wheels of a car. |
