The permanent magnet wheel drive consists of two basic magnetic components, one large driven flat wheel containing a uniform series of identical magnet segments, and a second magnetic driving means comprising multiple oscillating magnetic couples of opposite identical magnet segments. The magnetic mechanism simulates the action of a clock escapement mechanism in that the oscillating magnet couples uniformly oscillates between the wheel magnet segments to induce continuous wheel rotation. All of the multiple oscillating magnet couples are oscillated by a motor(s) driven eccentric through a suitable gear reduction unit. The small D. C. motor(s) are powered by multiple arrays of silicon solar photovoltaic cells at some convenient rooftop location.
