Abstract
Simple to manufacture electric generators or motors and methods of manufacturing such are disclosed. Such devices are preferably manufactured from 2-dimensionally cut, flat stock materiel. The generator or motor has two large diameter rotors to enable, for example, useful generation of electricity at low revolutions per minute. The frame of the device includes side walls with castellated stators on the periphery of the walls. Castellated end plates removably interlock with the stators. The rotors drive magnets past the stators in the frame of the device. In preferred embodiments, rotors are driven by human legs or arms, low speed wind, or water with low or zero water drop distance.
Claims15
An electric device comprising:
- a housing having two side walls coupled by an axle, each side wall having a stator pole at an edge of the side wall;
- a wire strung between the stator pole of each side wall;
- a panel spanning the edge of each side walls and interlocking with the stator pole;
- a first plate disposed between the side walls and coupled to the axle;
- and
- a magnet disposed at an edge of the first plate proximal to the wire.
