The first permanent magnet rotor is disposed adjacent to the stator. The magnetic induction generator is disposed adjacent to the stator or to the first permanent magnet rotor and is operative to be coupled to an electric device. The stator includes a coil winding operative to be coupled to an external power source, so that when the coil winding is coupled to an input alternating current, the first permanent magnet rotor rotates enabling the magnetic induction generator to generate an induced current to power up the electric device.

A stator includes a magnetic core, which is configured to generate a static magnetic field in a vicinity of the rotor and defines an equilibrium angle of rotation of the rotor, at which the permanent magnet is aligned with the static component of the magnetic field. At least one coil is wound on the magnetic core so that when the coil driven with an AC electrical current at a selected frequency, the stator generate a time-alternating magnetic field, which causes the rotor to oscillate on the axis at the selected frequency about the equilibrium angle.

A single phase permanent magnet motor includes a stator core, windings wound around the stator core, and a permanent magnet rotor. The stator core includes an end portion and two spaced arm portions. Each arm portion includes a connecting arm connected to the end portion and a pole claw formed at a distal end of the connecting arm. The two pole claws define a space for receiving the rotor. The pole claws surround the space and form an arc pole surface. The arc pole surface is recessed to form a startup groove located at a central axis of the pole claw. The two pole claws are spaced apart to form two slot openings there between. A line connecting the two slot openings is orthogonal to the central axis of the pole claw.

A DNA-structured linear actuator comprised of a ladder-like structure that twists to generate linear motion. In its base state, the DNA structured linear actuator best resembles a rope ladder. When this ladder is twisted, it takes on the appearance of a DNA double-helix structure. By application of a torsional force on one end, the ladder-like structure extends or contracts to allow linear translation of one end of the structure.
