Magnetic induction converter

An electrical energy converter, including a rotor, an electromagnetic device having a flux conductor stator fixedly positioned in operative relation to the rotor and in induction coil mounted thereon, permanent magnet means mounted on the rotor for establishing flow of magnetic flux of reversing polarity through the stator in response to rotation of the rotor, energy storing circuit means connected to the induction coil for maintaining a DC potential thereon to conduct DC and magnetically induced currents through the coil, and circuit control means for interrupting said flow of the DC current when magnetic flux of one polarity in the stator reaches peak flux density during rotation of the rotor, said rotor being mounted for rotation about a fixed axis, and said permanent magnet means comprising a plurality of magnets having pole faces of alternate opposite polarity angularly spaced from each other in parallel planes perpendiculcar to said fixed axis of the rotor.
