Abstract
An electrical power generator that increases both power generation efficiency and electrical power density. The generator includes: a plurality of disk surfaces; a plurality of stationary supports; and a rotating shaft affixed to each of the disk surfaces. Each disk surface is coupled to an array of magnets arranged as matching magnetic pairs on two adjacent disk surfaces so as to create a plurality of magnetic fields between the matching magnetic pairs. Each stationary support sustains an array of electromagnetic coils. Each coil is disposed in-between each of the matching magnetic pairs. Each rotating shaft rotates each of the matching magnetic pairs around the generator coils such that a time varying magnetic flux is provided and electrical power is generated in each of the generator coils.
Claims5
An electrical power generator adapted to increase both the (i) power generation efficiency;
- and, (ii) electrical power density;
- wherein said electrical power generator comprising:
- (i) a rotating shaft;
- (ii) a plurality of spaced apart disk surfaces affixed to said rotating shaft;
- each of said disk surfaces is coupled to an array of magnets arranged on a spiraled line extending from the center of the disk surface to the edge of the disk surface, wherein the magnets in each array are magnetically insulated from each other, and wherein all arrays have equal number and same arrangement of magnets so as to create a plurality of distinct magnetic fields between any two adjacent disk surfaces;
- and
- (iii) a plurality of stationary supports located between said any two adjacent disk surfaces, each of said stationary supports sustains an array of generator coils having a number of generator coils equal to the number of said distinct magnetic fields;
- said generator coils have size and shape that fits the size and shape of said magnetic fields;
- wherein upon rotation of said rotating shaft, each of said array of magnets rotates around said generator coils such that a time varying magnetic flux is provided and electrical power is generated in each of said generator coils.
