Abstract
A virtual ellipse electric motor and methods are presented. A fulcrum bears a nutating dynamic load, and a wobble plate is rotationally coupled to the fulcrum and nutates around the fulcrum. The wobble plate includes an inner pericyclic gear and an outer pericyclic gear, and a stationary gear meshes with the outer pericyclic gear and provides leverage to the wobble plate. The rotational output plate meshes with the inner pericyclic gear and rotates in response to rotation of the wobble plate. The stator includes an electromagnet and electromagnetically attracts a first side of the wobble plate such that a second side of the wobble plate is leveraged against the stationary gear and the rotational output plate.
