Look out, Microsoft Founder Bill Gates is on the move! He recently patented a new type of technology that is not computer or software related. Still in its infant stage, the electromagnetic combustion engine is designed to be a power generator. This engine has nothing to do with searching the internet. Unlike conventional hybrid engines which require separate electric motors and fossil fueled engines to work together, this unique all-in-one invention could be much more adaptive than today’s hybrids.  The engine "... may be configured to convert mechanical energy of the first piston to electrical energy during a power stroke, and to drive the first piston" in the non-power strokes (ie, when the piston is intaking air or expelling exhaust.) In other words, the pistons can be moved by either gas combusion or by electricity.
