Abstract
A generator that comprises at least one ferromagnetic core including a gap, a magnet capable of producing a normal magnetic field within said gap and at least one coil positioned within the normal magnetic field on the core. At least one diamagnet that is positioned to pass through said gap on said core, wherein the diamagnet momentarily blocks the normal magnetic field causing a voltage to be induced within said coil.
Claims20
A generator comprising:
- at least one ferromagnetic core including a gap;
- a magnet positioned on said at least one ferromagnetic core producing a normal magnetic field within said gap;
- at least one coil positioned within the normal magnetic field on said at least one ferromagnetic core;
- at least one superconducting diamagnet rotatably positioned to pass through said gap on said at least one ferromagnetic core, wherein rotation of said at least one diamagnet momentarily blocks the normal magnetic field causing a voltage to be produced withing said at least one coil.
