Abstract
Electrical generators are provided by causing permanent magnets to travel through hollow passageways having electrical conductors flanking or surrounding the space within the passageways. The conductors are disposed in undulating patterns the amplitudes of which are aligned in selected correlated positions relative to the lengths of the passageways and directions of the magnetic flux lines in order to maximize the electromagnetically generated voltage and current in the conductors.
Claims20
An electrical generator which comprises:
- (a) a disc-shaped member having permanent magnetism and magnetic poles of opposite polarity on its opposite faces;
- (b) a hollow passageway having a predetermined length and configured to enable the disc-shaped member to travel through it;
- (c) at least one set of electrical conductors disposed in an undulating pattern of predetermined amplitude and affixed to at least a selected portion of the passageway, the amplitude of the undulating electrical conductors being oriented in a direction relative to the length of the passageway which causes successive excursions of the conductors to intersect the magnetic flux lines between the magnetic poles at substantially right angles as the disc-shaped member travels through the passageway, thereby maximizing the electromagnetically generated voltage and current in the electrical conductors during such travel.
An omnidirectional electrical generator which comprises:
- (a) at least one pair of disc-shaped members each having permanent magnetism and magnetic poles of opposite polarity on its opposite faces;
- (b) at least one pair of hollow passageways having predetermined lengths and each configured to enable each disc-shaped member to travel through the respective passageways;
- (c) at least two sets of electrical conductors each disposed in an undulating pattern of predetermined amplitude and affixed to a selected portion of each passageway, the amplitude of each undulating pattern being oriented in a direction relative to the length of the passageway which causes successive excursions of the conductors to intersect the magnetic flux lines between the magnetic poles at substantially right angles as each disc-shaped member travels through each passageway;
- (d) one combination of the passageway and disc-shaped member being placed in a selected position within the housing of an electrically or electronically operated device, and the other combination of the passageway and disc-shaped member being placed in a different selected position within the housing, whereby oscillation or rotation of the housing and concomitant travel of each member through each passageway will cause maximum electromagnetic generation of voltage and current in the electrical conductors as the housing moves through different directions in space.

An electrical generator which comprises:
- (a) a permanent bar magnet having magnetic poles of opposite polarity at its ends and being disposed in a disc-shaped carrier;
- (b) a hollow passageway having a predetermined length and configured to enable the disc-shaped carrier to travel through the passageway;
- (c) at least one set of electrical conductors disposed in an undulating pattern of predetermined amplitude and affixed to at least a selected portion of the passageway, the amplitude of the undulating conductors being oriented in a direction relative to the length of the passageway which causes successive excursions of the conductors to intersect the magnetic flux between the magnetic poles at substantially right angles as the disc-shaped carrier travels through the passageway, thereby maximizing the electromagnetically generated voltage and current in the electrical conductors during such travel.
