> The Electromagnetic Drive is a system for electrically propelling a
bicycle or other vehicle by placing permanent magnets on the rim of the
wheel or wheels, and having one or more electromagnets placed adjacent to
them to drive the wheel. A working geometry is provided between an
electromagnet and permanent magnet, which allows for electrically driving
the wheel of a vehicle such as a bicycle with enough power to eliminate
pedaling. A sensor unit senses the positions of the magnets relative to
the electromagnets, and applies appropriately timed pulses of electricity
to a interface. The interface amplifies the pulses from the sensor and
inputs them into the electromagnets. Permanent magnets mounted on the
wheel create a high efficiency force between the electromagnets and the
permanent magnets. Because of the light weight, it adds little extra
effort for the bicyclist when the drive mechanism is not engaged. As a
supplemental feature, circuitry is provided for recharging batteries,
while the bicycle is coasting down hill or stopping.

Can this drive be used to word-wrap your messages?
