Method and apparatus for DC to AC power generator

A dc to ac power generator, comprising:

• at least one electrical transformer comprising, in combination:
• at least one primary winding;
• at least one secondary winding;
• at least one magnetic field associated with a magnetic core and positioned so as to interact with the primary and secondary windings such that voltage levels appearing on one of the windings are transformed to different voltage levels on the other of the windings;
• terminals located on the primary winding and capable of being directly connected to a source of direct current power;
• terminals located on the secondary winding and capable of being interconnected with electrical equipment so as to permit power flow to and from said electrical equipment;
• and, at least one electromechanical relay switch connected to the transformer and capable of being connected to a source of direct current power for switching polarity of direct current power which may be provided from the source of direct current power to the transformer primary winding such that alternating current power is provided on the transformer secondary winding.

A method for generating alternating current power, the method comprising the steps of:

• connecting the primary field winding of an electrical transformer directly to at least one direct current power source;
• connecting a DPDT relay switch to the transformer and to the direct current power source;
• transforming the voltage level received by the transformer from the direct current power source such that a first voltage level is transformed to a second voltage level;
• operating the relay switch so as to repeatedly reverse polarity of voltage transmitted to the transformer from the direct current power source;
• and
• providing an output signal corresponding to the second voltage level and having a polarity corresponding to that of the voltage transmitted to the transformer from the direct current power source, the output signal being alternating current power.
