Article in the back of Road and Track had a drawing from a mental institution where a guy proposed to power a convential motor using electro-magnets inside of the pistons essentially using magnetic force in place of explosive force. The "power control module" was toted to be a generator/controller telling which magnets to be energized and I guess deriving some amount of power back from the crank.
To be honest I guess it would be feasable to move a car using something like this, but definitely not by any means a valid way to replace gasoline.
We already have magnet driven motors, its called every electric motor on the market.
