Description

FLUX PATHS

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

This invention relates to an asymmetrical, electro-mechanical device with unorthodox magnetic path which may act as a motor or a generator. In particular, the invention relates to an improved and efficient generator/motor.

Of course, electro-mechanical devices which act as motors and generators are known. It is always important to improve upon the prior electro-mechanical devices and, in particular, to improve the efficiency of those devices.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to at least partially improve upon the prior art devices, including the devices disclosed in published PCT application PCT/CA93/00088, particularly by improving the efficiency of the prior art devices.
Also, it is an object of this invention to provide an improved alternative type of electro-mechanical device, namely an asymmetrical electro-mechanical device with an unorthodox magnetic path.

Accordingly, in one of its broad aspects, this invention resides in providing an asymmetrical, electro-mechanical device 10 in Fig. 1b with unorthodox magnetic path comprising:

(a) A geometrically-magnetically-asymmetrical stator means 11 in Fig. 1a comprising:
A non-continuous stator magnetic flux path extending from a first stator portion 12 to a second stator portion 13;
A stator air gap 14 extending from the second stator portion to the third stator portion; and A stator face 15 having a plurality of conductors 16 extending substantially transversely across the stator face;

(b) A rotor means 18 having a rotor face 17 and moving along a rotor movement path;

(c) A rotor/stator air gap 19 between the rotor face and the stator face when the rotor face and the stator face are adjacent each other;

(d) A continuous magnetic flux path 20 in Fig. 2 extending along at least a portion of the stator magnetic flux path, through the stator face, through the rotor/stator air gap 19, into or out of the rotor face 17, through the rotor means 18, and through at least one magnetic flux connecting means 21 which enables the magnetic flux path to be continuous;

(e) Magnetic flux generating means 21A for generating or providing, if permanent magnet, magnetic flux to pass through the continuous magnetic flux path 20;

(f) Wherein the rotor means is capable of cyclically moving relative to the stator means in a direction along a rotor movement path which is outside of the stator magnetic flux path, wherein:

(i) A first part of the rotor movement path is adjacent to the stator magnetic path, and a second part of the rotor movement path is not adjacent to the stator magnetic path such that magnetic flux, except magnetic flux leakage, cannot pass through the rotor face to or from the stator magnetic flux path;
(ii) Beginning at time zero in Fig. 2, as shown, until time critical, the rotor face 17 moves away from both a first portion of the stator face 15 and the stator magnetic flux path such that magnetic flux 20, except magnetic flux leakage, does not pass through the rotor face into or out of the stator magnetic flux path, then toward a second portion of the stator face, such that the rotor face is adjacent to and overlapping with the stator face such that operational magnetic flux passes through the rotor face into or out of the stator magnetic flux path in Fig. 1 b, as shown;
(iii) At time critical, the rotor face 17 in Fig. 1 b moves into a position of maximal overlap, as shown in Fig. 1 b with the stator face, and (iv) From time critical until time end of cycle as in Fig. 2, the rotor face moves along at least a portion of the stator face and adjacent to the stator face in a direction of the stator magnetic path;

(g) Wherein when the rotor face 17 and the stator face 15 move relative to and adjacent to each other an electric voltage and when the coil is closed a current having directions are developed in the plurality of conductors 16 and in 21 A;

(h) Wherein when the plurality of conductors 16 is closed or under load, the direction of the armature current reverses at time critical when the rotor face moves into a position of maximal overlap with the stator face, without the magnetic flux reversing direction and without the rotor means reversing direction; and (i) Wherein the continuous magnetic flux path is substantially planar when 10 is "crushed" into a single plane (not shown), or bi-planar, as shown in Figs. 1a, lb and 2;

(j) In a further aspect, the invention relates to a generator / motor having a non-continuous stator magnetic flux path which is planar in that it is substantially confined to one plane for easier manufacturing or for other reasons, such as available space, or bi-planar in two planes, as shown. In a still further aspect, the present invention relates to an invention wherein a plurality of stator portions can be used with a single rotor having a plurality of rotor faces.

Further aspects of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and the drawings which illustrate the invention and one of the preferred embodiments together with the operation of the invention.
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS, THE GAPHS AND THE OPERATION
The drawings and gaphs illustrate the embodiments of the invention and the operation while at least one of the coils 16 or 21 A is closed:

- Figure 1 (b) is a schematic view of one embodiment of the invention with the rotor inserted, when coil means 21 A and 16 in Fig. 2 are omitted for clearer view;
- Figure 1 (a) is the same as Figure 1 (b) without the rotor, with coil means 21 A and 16 included;
- Figure 2 is a schematic view of the invention shown in Figures 1 (a) and 1 (b) showing one segment of the armature and rotor combination;
- Figures 3 (a) and 3 (b) are gaphs of the flux through air gap 19 and the generated A.C. Voltage potential in coil 21 A and/or coil 16 in Fig. 2 when the rotor 18 is rotating and 10 is excited with currents in coils 21 A and/or 16, or excited with permanent magnets inserted in 21;
- Figures 4 (a), 4 (b), 4 (c) and 4 (d) are the generated base harmonics of Voltage potential or Ugac, the alternating A.C. Voltage potential in coils 21 A and/or 16 and the respective currents in 21 A and/or in 16, when currents are pure inductive, capacitive or ohmic, respectively;

The fluxes generated by inductive, capacitive and ohmic A.C. currents for example in coil 21 A in Fig. 2 are in phase with each other, that is:

The inductive A.C current is in phase with ct flux;
The capacitive A.C current is in phase with 4) flux;

The ohmic A.C current is in phase with cD flux, in Figs. 4b, 4c, and 4d, respectively;

The rotor 18 in Fig. 2 is at time end of cycle, just before moving into time critical, that is just before moving under the stator face 15 to begin its next cycle; These timings in Figures 3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 4c and 4b are denoted with zero (0), as shown;
Referring to Figures 1b, 3a, 4b, 4c and 4d, the following are apparent for those who are trained in the respective art:
That during the time intervals of the shaded areas in Figures 4b, 4c and 4d the fluxes generated by the respective currents for example in coil 21 A or 16:

(a) During time intervals shown in these Figures:
(i) Before T1/2 in Fig. 4b, helps he rotor move along its shown direction in the rotational path, and (ii) After T1/2 and before T1 in Fig. 4b, it brakes or retards the rotor to move along its shown direction in the rotational path, cancelling out the "help"
given in (i) of (a) above;

(b) Similarly to (a) above, during the same time intervals:
(i) In Fig. 4c the generated flux by current in coils 21 A or 16 cancelling the effects out: Retards the rotor before T'/2 and helps the rotor after T'/2 and before T1, (ii) In Fig. 4d the generated flux by current in coils 21 A or 16 retards the rotor both before and after T% (and retards the rotor before Tj) as shown;
Thus it retards or brakes the rotor completly;

To improve the efficiency of the presently available electro-mechanical devices or devices similar to the ones shown in Figs. 1 a, 1 b and 2, be the "planar" or "bi-planar"
in construction, the current in coils 21 A and/or 16 should generate flux to help the rotor in its movement path and direction during both before T% and T1, respectively;
It is also apparent for those trained in respective art that other preferred embodiments similar to Figs. 1a and 1b, when coil 16 is closed and coil 21 A
is left open and, in addition, when both coils 16 and 21 A are closed with appropriate combination of inductive, capacitive and/or ohmic means, these will result in advantageous results and will improve the efficiency of currently available electro-mechanical devices, or devices similar to the ones shown in Figs. 1a, 1b and 2. It is also apparent for those trained in the respected art that by changing the number of stator segments 12 and 13, with or without changing the rotor segment 17 in 18, with closed or open coils 16 and/or 21 A the flux pattern shown in Fig. 3a will change, due to changes in the phase and patterns of currents in 16 and /or 21 A, respectively and due to the relative position of the rotor 18 to the position of the stator segments 12 and 13; Thus, the improvements in the efficiency of the comparable electro-mechanical devices to the ones shown in Figs. 1a, 1b and 2, will change accordingly;
It is further apparent for those trained in the respective art that the magnetic flux connecting means 21 can be made from or combined with permanent magnet(s) to provide the excitation and to create the magnetic flux for the invention; As well, the functions of the stator sections 12 and 13 and the rotor 18 are interchangeable as long as at least one of them or both move or rotate; In addition the rotation of the respective stator/rotor components of the invention can be changed to linear or for other cyclical pattern to provide for the improvement in the efficiency of the electro-mechanical devices;

Figure 5 illustrates the magnetic conductivity and flux pattern through airgap during rotation of rotor 18 of one of the built and operating experimental devices shown in Figs. 1a and 1b; For illustrative purposes, conductors 21 A are fed by D.C.
current by current generator means for excitation (not shown), or the excitation is done by permanent magnets, such as a samarium-cobalt or any other permanent magnets, and conductors 16 are closed with appropriate combination of inductive, capacitive and ohmic means, where a,, a2, a3 and a4 are the consecutive positions in the cylindrical path of rotor 18, measured from the zero to end of cycle a4;

Figure 6 shows the actual response or resultant current and the Fourier base harmonic, respectively in conductors 16 and thus the additional resultant magnetic flux pattern through airgap 19; The total capacitive means, for example, in the circuit of conductors 16 are four (4) microfarad (4 mF), and Figure 7 shows the current (flux) responses and Fourier Base Harmonic under identical circumstance to Fig. 6, except here the total capacitive means in 16 are one million microfarad (106 mF), respectively;

In both Figures 6 and 7 the positions of rotor 18 are the same at: a,, a2, a3 and a4;
It is obvious for those who are trained in the respective art, that one, and only one of the additional resultant currents, in addition to the current generated by the excitation means, and thereby the created fluxes in Fig. 6 and 7 can be selected to improve the efficiency of the embodiment of or of similar embodiments to Figs. 1 a and 1 b;
This is due to the fact that in Fig. lb the rotational direction shown in the cylindrical movement of the rotor 18 is being aided both just before at the beginning of time zero (a o=00) and just before and at the beginning of the end of the cycle (a 4=900); The other selection brakes or retards the movement of rotor 18 and thus decreases the efficiency of the device;

The relative size of the "helping" component of the currents in conductors 16 (and thereby created fluxes) which drives rotor 18 (that is: the additional magnetic fluxes provided by such currents are added to the excitation fluxes) can be varied by appropriate selection and combination of the inductive, capacitive and ohmic means in such circuits/conductors without increasing the needed outside driving force, if any, which helps or is driving rotor 18; Therefore the efficiency of these electro mechanical embodiments 10 or similar embodiments can be significantly increased to predetermined upper limit, provided the mass of the iron built into the embodiment/device is appropriately increased as well;

The torque in Newton-Metre for a given built embodiment 10 equipped with fixed appropriate inductive, capacitive and ohmic means is constant; Therefore the efficiency of such devices can be further increased by increasing their rotational (or linear) speed, provided the structural design has taken this into account, and the inductive, capacitive and ohmic means in the circuits are appropriately adjusted;
Similarly to the above, two additional tested arrangements achieved similar comparable results to the foregoing; That is improved substantially the efficiency of the devices tested, as follows:

(a) When conductors 16 were left open, and conductors 21 A were closed with appropriate inductive, capacitive and ohmic means, and (b) When both conductors 16 and 21 A were closed with appropriate inductive, capacitive and ohmic means;

THE PSEUDO SYNCHRONOUS MOTORIC OPERATION AND TEST RESULTS
To make certain that the appropriately phased and timed currents with inductive, capacitive and ohmic means generated in conductors 16 and/or 21 A to improve the efficiency of the invention in actual practice, the following were first computer simulated and later carried out, using a built test Unit shown in Figs. 1a and 1b:

(a) Excitation is provided by means of currents in conductors 21 A and alternatively by permanent magnets inserted in 21, while rotor 18 is being rotated by an outside driver at 50 Hertz network frequency;

(b) Into the circuitry of conductors 16 were inserted appropriate combination of inductive capacitive and ohmic means and 16 hooked into a standard sinusoid power supply of 50 Hz frequency;

(c) It is obvious for those trained in the respective art, that rotor 18 of the embodiment / device in Figs. 1a and 1b could/should not be rotated by such current generated flux of the power source described in (b) above, even if rotor 18 is speeded up to synchronous 50 Hz speed, as there could not be synchronous rotating magnetic field present in the stator to drag or drive the rotor at synchronous rotational speed, or at any speed;

(d) Yet, after speeding up, rotor 18 started to rotate and kept rotating at synchronous rotational speed under load; The efficiency of the Unit was deliberately varied by the changing sizes of the inserted inductive, capacitive and ohmic means in the circuitry of conductors 16;.

(e) Rotor 18 in this experiment was driven by the appropriately phased current in 16 shown in Fig. 6: Both before T1/2 and before end of cycle T1, the additional generated flux generated by such current in conductor 16 drove rotor 18, thereby increasing the efficiency of the device shown in Figs. 1a and 1b without having a rotating electromagnetic field present, which is used in standard synchronous motors/generators;

(f) The fact is that the appropriately phased current used in the foregoing test made it possible, without additional extra force being employed on the rotor, to drive the device, and thus increase the efficiency of the EBM device to the upper limit determined by the built-in mass of steel and the rotational speed of the rotor of this and similar embodiments.

It is understood that the invention is not limited to a particular size of air gap 14 or particular relative phases of the stator and rotor pole positions, be they cylindrical or linear construction. Rather, the invention includes all embodiments and functional electrical mechanical equivalents where the air gap, relative phases and position could be used with the other features of the invention. Furthermore, it is understood that the invention is not limited to a particular magnitude of the magnetic fluxes created by the generator supplied currents and/or by the fluxes of permanent magnets used by the invention. Rather, the invention is broad enough to encompass embodiments where the magnitude of the magnetic fluxes created by the generator supplied currents or by the fluxes of permanent magnets vary as would be appreciated by a person skilled in the art.

It will be understood that, although various features of the invention have been described with respect to one or another of the embodiments of the invention, the various features and embodiments of the invention may be combined or used in conjunction with other features and embodiments of the invention as described and illustrated herein.

Although this disclosure has described and illustrated certain preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not restricted to these particular embodiments. Rather, the invention includes all embodiments, which are functional, electrical or mechanical equivalents of the specific embodiments and features that have been described and illustrated herein.
