Estimating the term…
A generator including a first magnetic assembly and a second magnetic assembly wherein the first and second magnetic assemblies are arranged in parallel for the production of a magnetic field and a null magnetic field region, a rotor positioned between the first and second magnetic assemblies the rotor being coupled to a drive shaft extending through the first and second magnetic assemblies wherein a portion of the rotor is positioned in the null field region, a least one current transfer mechanism coupled to the rotor in the null field region and at least one current transfer mechanism coupled to the shaft, a drive mechanism attached to the shaft, whereby actuation of the drive mechanism causes rotation of the rotor in the magnetic field to produce a electric potential between the first and second current transfer mechanisms.
A generator said generator including:
The generator of any one of the preceding claims wherein the current transfer mechanisms are in the form of liquid metal brushes.
The generator of any one of the preceding claims wherein at least one current transfer mechanism coupled to the shaft is positioned external to the first or second magnetic assemblies.
The generator of any one of the preceding claims wherein the drive mechanism is a low speed drive.
The generator of any one of the preceding claims wherein the generator further includes third and fourth magnetic assemblies arranged in parallel and positioned concentrically within the first and second magnetic assemblies.
A generator including a DC-DC conversion stage the generator including:
A generator including a DC-DC conversion stage the generator including:
A generator including:
A generator as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein any rotor provided is a laminated rotor including a number of rotor disc elements each mounted to corresponding cylinder elements for rotation thereabout, the cylinder elements forming a conductive shaft, and wherein a non-conducting material is disposed between each of the rotor disc elements to create a strong mechanical connection between the elements while retaining electrical isolation between the elements.
A generator as claimed in any one of the preceding claims wherein any magnetic assembly is realised using normal conducting materials, permanent magnetic materials or bulk superconducting materials.
