Abstract
This disclosure relates in general to a new and improved system for producing electric energy or mechanical power, and in particular to an improved system and method for producing rotary motion from an electro-magnetic motor or generating electrical power from a rotary motion input by concentrating magnetic forces due to electromagnetism or geometric configurations.
Claims20
A system of producing DC voltage, the system comprising:
- a partial toroidal magnetic cylinder positioned about a longitudinal axis;
- a first means for concentrating similarly polarized magnetic flux forces within an interior of the partial toroidal magnetic cylinder to create a first area of magnetic concentration, where the first means for concentrating comprises:
- a first means of providing a plurality of similarly polarized magnetic flux forces directed at the interior and having a first length that is parallel to the longitudinal axis,
- a second means of providing a plurality of similarly polarized magnetic flux forces directed at the interior and facing the first means and having a second length that is parallel to the longitudinal axis,
- a third means of providing a plurality of similarly polarized magnetic flux forces directed at the interior and having a third length that is transverse to the longitudinal axis,
- a fourth means of providing a plurality of similarly polarized magnetic flux forces directed at the interior and facing the third means,
- wherein the first length is greater than the third length;
- a 360 degree rotation path comprising at least the interior of the toroidal magnetic cylinder and an area outside of the interior of the toroidal magnetic cylinder;
- a first coil segment;
- a means for rotating the first coil segment through the interior of the interior of the partial toroidal magnetic cylinder;
- and
- a means for removing the voltage from as first coil segment as the first coil segment rotationally moves through the first area of magnetic concentration.
