1. An energy transformer comprising:
(a) a spaced-apart pair of stationary first magnets disposed along a first axis;
(b) a reciprocator comprising:
(i) a support member;
(ii) a reciprocator shaft disposed on the support member; and
(iii) a pair of second magnets, each disposed on one end of the reciprocator shaft, the pair of second magnets further disposed along a second axis within the spaced-apart pair of first magnets such that each second magnet is configured to interface with one of the pair of first magnets in a magnetic field interaction, the second axis is coaxially disposed with respect to the first axis, the magnetic field interaction is dependent upon a distance along one of the first axis and the second axis between a second magnet and a first magnet with which the second magnet interacts; and
(c) a pair of shields, a shield positioner comprising a rotatable shaft connected to each of the pair of shields and adapted to position the pair of shields, and an input receiver adapted to rotate the rotatable shaft, wherein each of the pair of shields is configured to be selectively rotated by the rotatable shaft so that it is placed between a second magnet and a first magnet with which the second magnet interacts,
whereby a selective disposition of each of the pair of shields by the shield positioner within its respective space between a second magnet and a first magnet with which the second magnet interacts alters the magnetic field interaction, causing the reciprocator to reciprocate.
