Abstract
A heat generator comprises a rotatable magnetic field and a heat exchanger (26) including a fluid path (45) for water set into an electrically conducting disc. An entry to and exit from the fluid path is provided for the water. Heat generated by rotating the magnetic field is transferred to water passing though the fluid path in the electrically conducting disc.
Claims16
A heat generator comprising:
- a heat exchanger disposed around a shaft which rotates a magnetic field to intersect the heat exchanger, the heat exchanger comprising:
- a fixed first disc that is electrically conducting and, two further electrically conducting fixed discs,
- the fixed first disc comprising a fluid path therein,
- wherein heat generated in the electrically conducting fixed discs by induction as a result of rotating the magnetic field is transferred to any fluid in the fluid path,
- and wherein the heat exchanger is disposed between a pair of further discs mounted on the shaft and rotating with rotation of the shaft, the pair of further discs having magnets mounted on their surfaces that face the heat exchanger.
2 more elements
A heat generator comprising:
- one or more heat exchangers disposed around a shaft, wherein each heat exchanger comprises:
- a fixed first disc that is electrically conducting;
- two fixed second electrically conducing discs sandwiching the fixed first disc;
- the fixed first disc comprising a serpentine fluid path formed therein;
- the two fixed second electrically conducting discs providing walls for the fluid path;
- a pair of rotatable discs mounted on the shaft;
- magnets mounted on the pair of rotatable discs facing the one or more exchangers.
