Abstract

A system for generating electric power comprises a direct current generator (12) coupled to a flywheel gear (20), an electrical distributor wheel (36) and an electromagnet circular arrangement (34), consisting of a plurality of segmented and insulated electromagnets. Attached to the flywheel gear (22) electric contact devises (30) are in contact with the distributor wheel (36) and a plurality of permanent magnets (32) that are aligned in close proximity to the surface of the electromagnet arrangement (34), in a way that they are repelled by the electromagnetic field generated by the electromagnets. The rotation of the flywheel gear (20) in a predetermined direction rotates a direct current generator armature (14), the electrical contact devices (30) and the permanent magnets (32). The electrical contact devices (30) connect an electrical circuit, allowing direct current to flow through the electrical distributor wheel (36) into an electromagnet segment, causing induction and producing electromagnetic field with polarity similar to the polarity of the permanent magnet (32) aligned with it, causing the magnet to repel and be attracted to the next electromagnet coil segment. The magnetic field of the magnets is continually exerted, therefore causes a continual repulsive forward rotating motion of the flywheel gear (20), the direct current generator armature winding (58). Therefore, direct current is continually generated. <Figure 1A>

The system comprises a direct current generator coupled to a flywheel gear. Attached to the flywheel gear electrical contact devices are in contact with an electrical distributor wheel and a plurality of permanent magnets that are aligned in close proximity to the surface of electromagnet circular arrangement, consisting of a plurality of segmented and insulated electromagnets. The permanent magnets are disposed in a way, so that the front poles of all the magnets must be identical.

The rotation of the flywheel gear in a predetermined direction rotates a direct current generator armature, the electrical contact devices and the permanent magnets. The electrical contact devices connect an electrical circuit, allowing current to flow from the direct current generator through the electrical distributor wheel to an electromagnet segment. Direct current flows into the electromagnet segment, causes induction and produces an electromagnetic field with the same polarity as the aligned permanent magnet, causing the permanent magnet to repel and be attracted by the next electromagnet segment.

The magnetic field of the permanent magnets is continually exerted, therefore causes a continual repulsive forward rotating motion of the flywheel gear. Said flywheel gear continual rotation causes the direct current generator armature winding to continually rotate. Therefore, direct current is continually generated. In the present invention means to initially rotate the flywheel are used. In the preferred embodiment of IE000254 this invention one of the direct current generator electrical output is connected to a regulator that has its electrical outputs connected to a load. The entire assembly is covered by a protective case.

Other embodiments, advantages and features of the present invention will become apparent from the following description, which refers to the accompanying drawings.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 10 In FIG. 1A, an elevational sectional view of a system 25 of the present invention is shown according to the preferred embodiment, when viewed from 1A-1A direction of FIG 1. System 25 comprises a base structure 10 and a direct current generator 12 concentrically disposed in the center of base structure 10. As detailed in FIG 5, direct current generator 12 comprises an armature shaft 14, having a gear 16 engaged with a plurality of substantially larger diameter gears 18 that are rotatably engaged with a flywheel gear 20. As shown in FIG 1 A, flywheel gear 20 comprises a shaft 22 that is concentrically formed at the center of flywheel gear 20 and rotatably mounted on a holder 24 in an upper cover case 56 by means of bearings 26. Attached to the periphery of flywheel gear 20 is a plurality of electrical contact devices 30 and a plurality of repulsive permanent magnets 32. The permanent magnets are disposed in a way, so that the front poles of all the magnets must be identical, either all south or all north. The permanent magnets specifically aligned in close proximity to the electromagnetic pole surface of a plurality of segmented and insulated electromagnets 34, equally spaced circularly IE000254 and concentrically disposed in base structure 10, as detailed in FIG 6 and FIG 8.

System 25, according to the preferred embodiment, furthermore 5 comprises an electrical distributor wheel 36 concentrically disposed in base structure 10. As shown in FIG 6 and detailed in FIG 7, electrical distributor wheel 36 has a plurality of continuous electrical conductors 38 and a plurality of segmented and insulated electrical conductors 40 that are circularly and concentrically disposed in it. The electrical conductors are intermittently in contact with the plurality of electrical contact devices 30. Continuous electrical conductors 38 have electrical input leads 42 connected to one of the electrical output leads of direct current generator 12. Direct current continually induced throughout continuous conductors 38. As shown in FIG 6, each segment of segmented and insulated electrical conductors 40 has electrical output leads 44 connected to the electrical input leads of each segment in the plurality of electromagnets 34.

System 25, as shown in FIG 1 A, further comprises an external rotational driving device 28 that is used for the initial rotation of flywheel gear 20. Driving device 28 has a rotating connecting rod that is inserted into a flywheel gear shaft 46. Once direct current generator 12 has sufficiently rotated to induce direct current into electromagnets 34 and effected the repulsion of permanent magnets 32, driving devise 28 can be removed.

Direct current generator 12 is positioned vertically with its armature shaft 14 facing upward and one of its direct current output leads 48 connected to the electrical input of an electrical regulator 50. Electrical IE000254 regulator 50 has its electrical output connected to a load 54. All the components of system 25 are made of non-magnetic materials with the exception of permanent magnets 32, electromagnet arrangement 34 and a direct current generator stator 60, which according to the present embodiment is composed of permanent magnets. System 25 is covered by protective case 56.

In this preferred embodiment direct current generator 12 comprises stator 60 and an armature winding 58 that is substantially angular in shape.

This angular winding allows direct current generator 12 to be bigger in size without taking large vertical space. The angular momentum further enhances the rotational efficiency of flywheel gear 20, increase kinetic energy and maintain moment of inertia. Armature winding 58 is composed of electrically conductive winding around a non-magnetic core material. Stator 60 is comprised of a plurality of permanent magnets, in this preferred embodiment it is composed of Rare Earth permanent magnets. The use of permanent magnets as a stator is necessary to generate immediate direct current. When direct current generator 12 is rotated, it immediately induces direct current to electromagnets 34 and effects the immediate repulsion of permanent magnets 32. Although exciting winding would also function, prototype tests have proven that Rare Earth permanent magnets such as Neodymium Iron Boron or Samarium Cobalt perform better than exciting winding. Permanent magnets 32 in this embodiment are composed of Rare Earth Neodymium Iron Boron permanent magnets. Electromagnets 34 are composed of electrically conductive wire windings around electric steel. While several electrical steel profiles can IE000254 be used, such as: inverted “E” (FIG 8B) or “I” (FIG 8A), in this preferred embodiment the “T” profile is used (FIG 8). This profile is the most efficient in inducing direct current throughout the electromagnets.

It perfectly separates the north and south poles without unnecessary loss in electromagnetic field energy. The optimum number of electromagnets in the electromagnet circular arrangement is between 12-36 electromagnets. Electrical contact devices 30 comprise switches to switch on and off electric circuit. Devices 30 can be comprised of OptoElectric, Photoelectric, Laser proximity sensors switches. In this preferred embodiment it is mechanical contact switches.

The operation of system 25 according to this preferred embodiment will now be described. Initially system 25 is operated by external rotating device 28 that rotates flywheel gear 20. The flywheel gear diameter is substantially larger than the diameter of direct current generator armature shaft gear 16. The bigger the ratio, the more efficient the present invention will be based on the lever principle; whereby flywheel gear 20 acts as the lever, the strength of the magnetic field of permanent magnets 32 is the effort, armature winding 58 is the load and the point of contact with generator armature shaft gear 16 is the fulcrum. The ratio is further determined by the requirements needed to achieve a specific number of rotations by armature winding 58 to generate sufficient direct current to induce the plurality of electromagnets 34 to produce electromagnetic field with sufficient strength to repel the plurality of permanent magnets 32.

IE000254 The operation of system 25 is cyclic. The cycle begins with initial rotation of the flywheel gear 20 in a predetermined direction, which rotates attached to it permanent magnets 32 and electrical contact devices 30, and causes multiple rotations of direct current generator armature shaft 14 and armature winding 58. Direct current is generated and it is continually induced into continuous electrical conductors 38. Electrical contact devices 30 connect an electrical circuit between the continuous and the segmented electrical conductors. The electrical contact devises 30 restrict direct current induction into segmented and insulated electrical conductors 40 and only allow it to be induced into one electrical conductor segment, when one of permanent magnets 32 is substantially aligned with one of electromagnet segments 34, which is electrically connected to that electrical conductor segment, as detailed in FIG 7. When direct current is induced in the conductor segment, it causes induction in the electromagnet segment, so that the electromagnet pole surface generates an electromagnetic field with the same polarity as the front pole polarity of the aligned permanent magnet, causing the permanent magnet to repel and be attracted by the next electromagnet segment in the electromagnet circular arrangement. At that moment, when one of permanent magnets 32 is repelled and substantially aligned with the next electromagnet segment in the circular arrangement, electrical contact devices 30 restrict direct current from the previous electromagnet segment and induce it into the segment the permanent magnet is now aligned with, causing the permanent magnet to repel again and be attracted by the next electromagnet segment. The magnetic field of the permanent magnets is continually exerted, therefore the repulsion of the magnets is continuous. As a result, flywheel gear 20 is IE000254 continually rotated and direct current is continually generated. Therefore, system 25 operates continually.

In this preferred embodiment one of the direct current generator 5 electrical output leads 48 is connected to the electrical input of electrical regulator 50, having its electrical output used for consumption by load 54. As shown in FIG IB, in the alternate embodiment of the present invention alternating current is used by load 54 through electrical output of inverter 52.

System 25 of the present invention within the system over-all design parameter and predetermined base load capacity will drive a load mechanically. The present invention utilizes the magnetic energy permanently stored in permanent magnets 32, which are the effort to do the work. The bigger the load, which consists of direct current generator armature 58 and electrical load 54, the stronger must be the magnetic field, Gauss measurements of permanent magnets 32 and the repulsive force of the opposing electromagnetic field generated by electromagnets 34 must be. Also, there is a mechanical leverage exerted by flywheel 20.

As the load increases, this leverage must also increase. The factors, that determine system 25 optimum design parameter to drive a load mechanically or electrically, are the size of armature winding 58, the strength of stator 60 magnetic field, the magnetic field and Gauss strength of the plurality of permanent magnets 32, the size and number of Ampere turns of the electromagnet winding and the strength of its electromagnetic field when direct current is induced in it, the ratio of IE000254 flywheel gear 20 diameter to the diameter of direct current generator armature shaft gear 16.

A third embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the schematic drawing in FIG 3B. In this embodiment one of direct current generator 12 electrical output leads 48 is connected to the electrical input of electrical regulator 50. Electrical regulator 50 has its electrical outputs leads connected to a Hydraulic system. The hydraulic system comprises a direct current motor 63, a fluid pump 64, a fluid reservoir 68 and a hydraulic motor 66, having its shaft connected to a flywheel gear box 70,which is driving a large electric generator 62 its electrical outputs can be used by load 54.

A fourth embodiment will now be described according to FIG 3 A. In this embodiment system 25 of the present invention is mechanically driving a hydraulic system through an extension in direct current generator geared shaft 14. The hydraulic system comprises fluid pump 64, hydraulic motor 66, fluid reservoir 68 and electric generator 62 having electrical outputs used to drive load 54.

IE000254 A fifth embodiment of the present invention is described with the reference to FIG 4A. System 25 in this embodiment comprises a flywheel gear 72 that is rotatably and slidably engaged with a bearing wheel 74. Bearing wheel 74 is attached to the perimeter of base structure 10. Bearing wheel 74 is made of non-magnetic materials. System 25 further comprises an electrical distributor 76. Electrical distributor 76 distributes direct current generated by direct current generator 12 to the electromagnets 34 through its electrical output leads 44. Electrical distributor 76 is comprised of mechanical and electronic computer controlled parts. Electrical distributor 76 electrical output leads 48 are connected to an electrical regulator 77 that is controlled by a computer. Electrical output of regulator 77 is used by load 54.

The present invention can be stationary mounted on a base, or as shown in FIG 9 transported by movable means and as shown in FIG 9A used as a power source to drive motorized crafts and vehicles. The present invention is superior to a conventional power generator, and it is a superior system for generating electrical power continually economically and without producing environmental hazards.
