Abstract

A magnetic force-operated power generator unit comprising a plurality of coil holders (11) fastened around a plurality of rotary vanes (8), said rotary vanes (8) having permanent magnets (22) secured thereto, and a plurality of magnet holders (3) controlled by a hydraulic starter (9) to move toward said rotary vanes (8) causing said rotary vanes (8) to be rotated by means of the effect of magnetic repulsion. Rotating said rotary vanes (8) causes a central shaft (5) to be rotated in driving an output device, and simultaneously causes the permanent magnets (22) thereon to act upon coils (110) on said coil holders (11) in generating electric power. <IMAGE>

Description

MAGNETIC FORCE-OPERATED POWER GENERATING UNIT The present invention relates to power generating units. More particularly, the present invention relates to a power generating unit which generates electric power by rotating rotary vanes against coils by means of the effect of magnetic repulsion.

According to conventional method, electric energy is required for driving a motor. However, in obtaining electric energy, much cost shall be invested.

The present invention has been accomplished under the aforesaid circumstances. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a magnetic forceoperated power generating unit which drives a motor to operate without consuming any electric energy. It is another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic force-operated power generating unit which produces electric power by means of the effect of magnetic repulsion. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic forceoperated power generating unit which is inexpensive to manufacture. It is still another object of the present invention to provide a magnetic force-operated power generating unit which does not cause any pollution problem.

According to the present invention, there is provided a magnetic force-operated power generator unit which is generally comprised of a plurality of coil assemblies fastened around a plurality of rotary vanes, said rotary vanes having permanent magnets secured thereto, and a plurality of magnet holders controlled by a hydraulic starter to move toward said rotary vanes causing said rotary vanes to be rotated by means of the effect of magnetic repulsion. Rotating said rotary vanes causes the permanent magnets thereon to act upon the coils on said coil holders in generating electric power. By means of increasing the number of the rotary vanes, the capacity of the power generating unit is relatively increased.

The present invention will now be described by way of example, with reference to the annexed drawings, in which: - Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a magnetic force-operated power generating unit embodying the present invention; Fig..2 is a plan view of the magnetic forceoperated power generating unit showing its operation; Fig. 3 is a plan view of a hydraulic switch according to the present invention; Fig. 4 is a system diagram of a hydraulic starter according to the present invention; Fig. 5 is a system diagram of a hydraulic brake according to the present invention; Fig. 6 is a partly dismantled view of a rotary vane according to the present invention; Fig. 7 is a front view of a rotary vane according to the present invention; and Fig. 8 is a side view of a rotary vane according to the present invention.

Referring to Fig. 1, a magnetic forceoperated power generating unit comprises four guide rods 4 longitudinally fastened inside a housing 1 and respectively inserted through holes 21 on a jack holder 2 and a plurality of magnet holders 3, a central shaft 5 longitudinally inserted through holes (not shown) on said jack holder 2 and said magnet holders 3, a ball bearing 6 mounted on said central shaft at one end, a hydraulic brake 7 inside said housing 1 on said central shaft 5 at an opposite end, a plurality of spaced, rotary vanes 8 mounted on said guide rods 4 and secured to said central shaft 5 by screws 82 and thrust key 81, a plurality of coil holders 11 mounted on said guide rods 4 surrounding around said rotary vanes 8 respectively, a hydraulic starter 9 fastened inside said housing 1 at a suitable location, a plurality of hydraulic jacks 90 controlled by said hydraulic starter 9 and connected between said jack holder 2 and said magnet holders 3, and a plurality of sleeves 10 sleeved on said guide rods 4 between each two of said magnet holders 3.

Referring to Fig. 2, turning on the hydraulic starter 9 causes the pistons 901 of the hydraulic jacks 90 to move the magnet holders 3 toward the rotary vanes 8, and therefore, the permanent magnets 22 on the magnet holders 3 are respectively inserted into spaces between the flanges 802 and the blades 80 of the rotary vanes 8, causing an effect of magnetic repulsion. The effect of magnetic repulsion causes the rotary vanes 8 and the central shaft 5 to be rotated simultaneously. Rotating the rotary vanes 8 causes the permanent magnets on the flanges 802 of the blades 80 to act upon the coils 110 on the coil holders 11 in generating electric power.

By changing the pitch between the magnet holders 3 and the rotary vanes 8, the horse power of the magnetic motor is changed relatively.

Referring to Figs. 3, 4, and 5, hydraulic switches 70 (see Fig. 3) are provided for controlling the operation of the hydraulic starter 9 (see Fig. 4) and the hydraulic brake 7 (see Fig. 5). When the hydraulic switch 70 on the hydraulic starter 9 is switched on, the piston 701 is extended outwards to squeeze a fluid of hydraulic oil 702 against hydraulic jack 90. By means of the operation of the hydraulic jacks 90, the magnet holders 3 are moved efficiently.

When the hydraulic switch 70 on the hydraulic brake 7 is switched on, the piston of the hydraulic switch 70 forces a fluid of hydraulic oil into the hydraulic brake 7 causing it to stop from operating.

Referring to Figs. 6, 7 and 8, the blades 80 may be integrated with each rotary vane 8 or separately made. In Fig. 6, the blades 80 are respectively secured to the rotary vane 8 by lock pins 82.

Therefore, any damaged blade 80 can be conveniently removed for replacement. Each blade 80 is comprised of a root 801 secured to the corresponding rotary vane 80 at 45" angle relative to the central shaft 5, and a top flange 802 extending from said root 801 at a top end thereof and radially disposed at 45" angle of inclination, wherein said root 801 and said top flange 802 each has a magnet 22 secured thereto (see Figs. 7 and 8; e = 45 ).
