Abstract
An apparatus generates sine waves of electromotive force (i.e. alternating current) from a battery. The battery includes a given number of cells connected in series. A stator and commutator is formed by a multiple of segments. Each of the segments is connected in sequence to a respective cell of the battery. The apparatus can be incorporated in a rotary switching device that further includes a rotor having at least one brush contacting the segments of the stator and commutator to carry a step waveform approximating a sine wave. The rotary switch can be included in various setups to provide a backup or alternate generator that provides alternating current.
Claims16
An apparatus for generating sine waves of electromotive force, comprising:
- a battery including a given number of cells connected in series;
- a stator and commutator formed by a multiple of segments, the multiple equaling said given number of cells multiplied by a natural number;
- each of said segments being connected sequentially to a respective one of said cells wherein each of said segments comprise a plurality of windings, wherein each of said plurality of windings are connected to each of said cells according to a predetermined configuration to cause a different voltage and polarity from the battery to be imparted on the said plurality of windings.
A rotary switch, comprising:
- a battery including a given number of cells connected in series;
- a plurality of stators and commutators each formed by a multiple of segments, said multiple equaling said given number of cells multiplied by a natural number, each of said segments being connected sequentially to a respective one of said cells, and said stators and commutators being connected in parallel to said battery, wherein each of said segments comprise a plurality of windings, wherein each of said plurality of windings are connected to each of said cells according to a predetermined configuration to cause a different voltage and polarity from the battery to be imparted on the said plurality of windings;
- and
- a respective rotor for each of said stators and commutators, each having a brush and turning concentrically within said commutator with said brush contacting said segments.
In a house using alternating current and having a transfer box connected to a main breaker of an electric utility, a generator, comprising:
- a battery including a given number of cells connected in series;
- a stator and commutator formed by a multiple of segments, the multiple equaling said given number of cells multiplied by a natural number, wherein each of said segments are connected sequentially to a respective one of said cells, wherein each of said segments comprise a plurality of windings, wherein each of said plurality of windings are connected to each of said cells according to a predetermined configuration to cause a different voltage and polarity from the battery to be imparted on the said plurality of windings;
- a rotor having a brush, wherein said rotor is configured to rotate concentrically within said commutator with said brush contacting said segments;
- a battery charger interconnecting the main breaker to said battery and configured to convert alternating current from the electric utility to direct current for charging said battery;
- and
- an output connected to the transfer box.
In a house using alternating current and having a fuse box;
- a generator, comprising:
- a battery including a given number of cells connected in series;
- a stator and commutator formed by a multiple of segments, the multiple equaling said given number of cells multiplied by a natural number, wherein each of said segments are connected sequentially to a respective one of said cells;
- a rotor having a brush, wherein said rotor is configured to rotate concentrically within said commutator with said brush contacting said segments;
- a battery charger connected to said battery and configured to provide direct current for charging said battery;
- and
- an output connected to the fuse box.
