Abstract
A counter rotating electrical generator has concentric rotors that rotate in opposite directions. One rotor has windings and rotates in a first direction. The other rotor rotates in the opposite direction and creates a magnetic field. The windings of the first rotor cut through the magnetic field of the other rotor rotating in the opposite direction, thus creating an electric potential. The counter rotating electrical generator may be configured to produce alternating current or direct current.
Claims15
A counter-rotating electrical generator, comprising:
- a center shaft oriented along a central axis;
- a first rotor rotatably mounted on said center shaft and being configured to rotate in a first rotational direction about the central axis, the first rotor being configured with two or more magnets;
- a second rotor rotatably mounted on said center shaft and being configured to rotate about the central axis in a second rotational direction opposite the first rotational direction, the second rotor being configured with at least one winding;
- a first flange connected to said first rotor configured to be rotated in the first rotational direction by a source of mechanical force;
- and
- a second flange connected to said second rotor configured to be rotated in the second rotational direction by said source of mechanical force;
- wherein electricity is generated from said at least one winding of the second rotor passing through a rotating magnetic field from said at least one magnet of the first rotor;
- wherein one of the first rotor and the second rotor is an outer hollow-chamber rotor;
- and
- wherein one of the first rotor and the second rotor is an inner hollow-chamber rotor positioned concentric to and inside of said outer hollow-chamber rotor.
