Abstract: There is disclosed a cylinder wheel connected in rotary engagement with a ball-piston wheel, the cylinder wheel having a multiplicity of cylindrical cavities, each cavity having at least one coil with a plurality of electrically conductive turns circularly disposed therearound. The ball-piston wheel has a multiplicity of balls of magnetic material or permanent magnets which engage the cylindrical cavities. The coils may be periodically activated by selectively applying electric current thereto to sequentially propel each ball into and out of the respective cylindrical cavity thereby turning the cylinder wheel and ball-piston wheel in rotating motion. When the balls are magnets, and the cylinder and ball-piston wheel assembly is rotated by an external driving means, a voltage is induced in each coil as a permanent magnet ball passes therethrough thereby forming an electric generator. When the coils are sequentially activated by an electric current to operate the cylinder wheel and ball-piston assembly as an electric motor, the entire assembly may be immersed in a fluid and a hollow shaft inserted into a central opening in the cylinder wheel which successively communicates with each of the cylindrical cavities to provide a positive displacement pump whereby each ball entering a cylindrical cavity forces the fluid contents of the cavity into and through the interior of the hollow shaft.
