PULSE ELECTRO-MAGNETS ROTATION ENERGY ACCUMULATION METHOD AND

SYSTEM

Technical Field

The present invention relates to energy sources and more particularly for energy sources for providing both continuous motive power as well as electric energy.

Background Art

Sources of energy, such as oil and uranium found in the upper crust of the earth, are rapidly being exhausted, as they are being extracted for consumption. There are energies released by mother nature, e.g. water power, wind power, ocean current power, and heat energy obtained by fuel, such as coal, oil, natural gas, and atomic energy. These three types of energies cannot be changed to electricity directly, but are used, for example, to turn water-wheels and to make steam in order to turn turbines. In short, these energies are converted to machine energy at first, and then the generator power is used in order to obtain electric energy.

However, there exists a shortcoming in the conventional electric motors in that a high percent of output pwoer is lost when compared with its input power. Along with advancement of microelectronics, electric products using 50-360 HZ up to now, are being changed to 32,000 HZ, and there are many products being introduced in the market that produce such a large amount of energy.

One example of these products is a National High Efficiency Relay with permanent magnets with poles (N,S) produced by Matsushita Electric Engineering Company. This circuit relay device (National Electron Circuit Relay Catalogue No. 6, pages 6 and 7, issued on May 30, 1981, Japan) produces an energy source which is claimed to be over 12 times greater than its input energy by means of permanent magnet and pulse current. Circuit relays of this type are generally described in Japanese Patent No. 782,276; United States Patent No. 3,522,564; British

Patent No. 1,246,876; French Patent No. 6,905,039; Italian Patent No. 875,956; Canadian Patent No. 860,439 and Australian Patent No. 429,405. However, in the above described relays devices, energy from high efficiency permanent electro-magnets is obtained entirely by latching movements, i.e. movement of right to left and left to right, and the energy is retained in the product or device itself, and cannot be extracted to outside of the product. This is one disadvantages of the above known permanent magnet devices.

Rotating machines operating with permanent magnets include permanent magnet D.C. torque rotors, electric motors having permanent magnet stators, and dynamoelectric machines with permanent magnet excitation. Generally, these machines are designed to provide a minimum interpole leakage flux and other suitably desired magnetic flux effects for improving the performance of the motors.

The use of permanent magnets for improving the performance of rotating machines in the prior art has generally been confined to that purpose alone, without any efficient magnet devices being developed for generating electric power in an efficient manner to make it practical for large scale energy production. One form of electromagnet rotator assembly for rotating a cylinder in increments is described in United States Patent No.

4,307,458 issued on December 22, 1981 to A. Oscar Lin, also the inventor in the present invention. Here, a permanent magnet is disposed between a pair of electro-magnets for movement between two spaced terminal portions in response to selective activation of the electro-magnets, and a driving pin mounted on the permanent magnet projects into an annular groove with a zig/zag shape in the cylinder whereby selective activation of the electro-magnets causes the permanent magnet to move to one terminal position to the other while rotating the cylinder. Such electro-magnet rotator assembly can be employed by providing driving movements in a wrist watch.

Therefore, in view of the above, it would be desirable and fulfill great need to utilize the magnet power of permanent magnets and the magnetic power of electro-magnets in a special design for supplying electric and other forms of energy in an efficient and practical manner. Disclosure of the Invention

It is an object of the present invention for providing a means for generating energy which requires a minimum input power for the output power produced. It is another object of the present invention to utilize the magnetic forces of moving magnets for generating large output power from a small input power used to activate such magnetic power.

It is another object of the present invention to efficiently utilize the mutually interactive effects of the magnetic fields of rotating permanent magnets and electro-magnets in a stator for generating energy.

It is another object of the present invention to generate electric power without requiring a high voltage input source.

It is another object of the invention to provide a steady supply of energy.

It is another object to provide a source of energy in the form of a permanent battery that can supply energy on a semi-permanent basis.

It is another object to generate energy at a relatively low cost.

These and other objects are achieved by the present invention which provides a system for generating electric power which includes an electro-magnet step motor for generating electric power, said electro-magnet step motor including stator means having electro-magnet means thereon, and a rotator means including permanent magnet means theron which interacts with said field produced by said electro-magnet on the stator means when the rotator means is rotating by causing rotation of the rotator means. Motive means, such as a hand crank and gears are operatively connected to the permanent magnet rotating means and inititates rotation thereof. A driving circuit is provided by activating the electro-magnets by selective electrical pulses for agitating the magnetic power at the strongest point of magnetic influence between the north and south poles of the permanent magnets on the rotating rotor and the field produced by the stator electro-magnets. Such pulse driving circuits for the permanent magnet rotating device is connected to pulse either one or a plurality of such rotating devices. The result ing rotative energy from the rotating device is converted to electricity and stored in a power accumulator, such as a capacitive or other electric energy storing devices. The output of the energy accumulator is then available for supplying to users. Also, a minor portion of the power generated by the rotating device is available for supplying an electric current generator in the motive means used for supplying power to the driving circuit and also for providing power to a further supply of energy, such as a capacitor type of supply. The system produces a very large energy output from a very small electric current pulse input to the stator electro-magnets with the pulses being provided to produce a magnetic field slightly ahead of the permanent rotor magnets in order to agitate the pulling power and the repelling power of the north and south poles on the rotator, thereby enhancing the rotation. The use of the small pulse current as an input power for agitating the magnetic power and the point of strongest influence of the pulling and repelling power of the pulse of the permanent magnets results in a signifi cantly large output power which is used not only for rotative energy, but also converted to electric energy for storage and/or present use.

Gear means are provided in the motive means for enabling speed changes, and a plurality of pulse electro-magnet step motors forming each rotative device can be arranged in parallel and piled up to provide the desired output power.

In another embodiment, the rotator assembly comprises a plurality of magnets arranged for rotation at a point radially outward from the rotating axis, with the stator being designed with sections of electro-magnet material in the stator along predetermined portions of the path adjacent to the magnets in the rotor. In this fashion, the output power can be produced by more shafts of the pulse electro-magnet step motors and converted directly by generators to electric energy. The input power needed for the system is recycled through the driving circuit for pulsing the electro-magnets in the stator. Thus, a permanent type of battery providing a relatively non-consumption type of electric source is provided by the continuous recycling process including the rotating device.

Best Mode For Carrying Out The Invention

Referring to Figure 1, there is shown a system diagram of the electro-magnet rotation energy device in an energy generating system in accordance with the present invention; the electro-magnet step motors shown in detail in Figures 2 and 3 are contained in the blocks 11 shown in Figure 1. A hand crank 1 and an electric generator 2 provide, respectively, a manual and electrical method of rotating the permanent magnet shaft 15 shown in Figures 2, 3 and 4 of the rotating device 11. For example, 105 K.W. of electric current can be generated by turning the device for a few seconds, by manual rotation in order to get 32 W of electricity to start the step motor 11, or by using an ordinary battery, or by connecting to another electric power source, not shown, for driving the generator 2.

The electricity produced by generator 2 is applied, to a storage device 3 such as a battery type device, where it is then provided to a driving circuit No. 31 including an oscillator 4 and pulse branching devices and pulse dividers 6 and 7. In order to use pulse divider 6 as a deterrent to overheating of the electro-magnet coil 27, the rotation speed of the device can be limited to once in 3 to 5 seconds. Branching device 5 provides a pulse to the driving coil 27. Stators 22 and 23 are made of high conductivity material. Permanent electro-magnet 15 is shaped as a cylindrical shaft and can be made of rare earth cobalt. Stators 22 and 23, enable rotation of the permanent electro-magnet shaft 15 as indicated in Figure 3, without any load. However, in order to increase the speed of rotation, mother gear 16, shown in Figure 4, is made large and child gear 17 and grandchild gear 18 are designed for rotation which attains the necessary speed. The electric current generated in generator 2 will power the generator shaft 19, and also be applied into the battery and power supply 3. Furthermore, electric power of the battery 3 is divided into electric current required for driving circuit 31 including circuits 4, 5, 6 and 7 and for an electric power supply 30 for consumers. The electricity is divided by means of driving circuit 31, such as at the rate of input 1 against output 3.92, and input electric power is recycled and becomes electric power available for consumers together with generated electric power. An electricity measuring control meter 26 is shown, and current divider circuits 7, 8, 9 and 10 divide the electric current coming via driving circuit 31 from generator 2, after rotation of the crank 1 for a few seconds.

Driving circuit 31 can drive the rotating device 11 by means of a very small amount of electric current divided up in driving circuits 7, 8, 9 and 10. The rotating device 11 can be driven by a small amount of electricity with low voltage, such as 1.5 volts. In short, if we assume that the necessary electric voltage for the driving circuit 7 is 1.5 V plus 30 W, as soon as the power input is provided to driver circuit 7, instantly driver circuit 8 too will receive input power and so on to driving circuits 9 and 10 will also receive input power in consecutive fashion and recycle the original input power automatically. Driving circuits are well known and are not described in detail herein.

Since the maker of this type of permanent battery already provided a source of power when it is delivered to a customer, it is made that so that it is not needed to have a device to divide the electric power required for starting the step motor into voltage and electric current. The electric power is generated by electro-magnetic rotating device 11, and an electro-magnetic rotation power storage device 12, and electric generator 2 by means of a recycling method. Storage device 12 can be any conventional device for accumulating mechanical rotative energy. Furthermore, it would be possible to give power accumulated in device 12 to a power user 14 directly as the motor driving power.

Accumulator 12 is connected to the electric current generator 2.

The permanent electro-magnet shaft 15 is easily breakable, so it should be encased in a thin iron or steel material in order to protect and strengthen it. As shown in Figure 2, a hole 24 is provided to stabilize a core-hole 25 in order to make in more easily connectible. A copper point of contact 29 serves to hold a core 21 and electro-magnet driving coil 27 together. Also, as shown in Figures 3 and 4, hole 20 is provided to hold a driving circuit terminal, numeral 21 is a coil core, and numeral

28 indicates a space between two coils 27. In the produc tion stage for the system of the present invention as indicated in Figure 2, the coil 27, stators 22 and 23 and core 21, etc., can be mass produced by automation. Compared with the relatively complicated step motors produced in the past, it should be noted that the step motors of the present invention can be not only mass-produced, but also can be assembled in parts using current robot devices.

Figure 5 shows an outer view of the subject generator with a box-shaped housing 32, that is about one cubic meter in dimension and produces 105 Kilo Watts. Figure 6 is outside view of the generator of the present invention in the form of a round cylinder 33. Figure 7 is outside view of the generator device in a housing 34 having a flat board shape with 1 cm in thickness. The generators are shown in a state of complete isolation from outside, and do not require an outside continuous supply of material. Moreover, the present invention provides an automatic energy supply system which can also be used as a semi-permanent battery. Figure 8 shows a prior art consumption type step-motor, or an ordinary motor in a situation whereby it is consuming a consumption type electricity obtained from an ordinary motor. Therefore, it shows an outside view of the south and north poles of a rotor 44 and the flux lines around a conventional stator engaged in a magnetic force "tug of war". Figure 8 shows the situation when pulse input power is made indicating electricity consumption of an oridinary consumption type motor or step-motor used heretofore. A consumption type stator C47 with magnetic conductive material C36 shows the overall wasting of electricity due to hiεteric condition, and the stator to which electric shocks are given by a permanent magnet and coil. A shock condition of electricity is indicated by numeral C45 from an ordinary battery than rotates it, as shown in Figure 9. Thus, Figure 9 shows a consumption type source of electricity that produces the power of rotation by giving an electric shock to each one of stators, or a situation in which input power is provided to all stators shown in Figure 8. Furthermore, as to the rotation of the south and north poles of the rotor 44, the nature of flow of the magnetic power for south and north is different in that south is pulling, and north is pushing. Therefore, the south and north poles are playing a "tug of war" between them, though this phenomena is the same with both stators C47 and C45, pulse electricity source or an ordinary battery electricity source. Consequently, stator portions C47 and C45 show the basic principle that one can obtain only several tens of percentage of the input power as its efficiency ratio.

Figures 10 and 11 show another preferred embodiment of the present invention wherein a non-consumption type of step motor produces an output power with a high efficiency ratio of output power compared with a small input power. This is accomplished, in part, by providing input power to only those points that needed the input power, and providing no input power to other places that require no input power. By doing this, the tug of war between south and north poles as shown in Figure 8 is eliminated or, at least, minimized. In the non-consumption type of step motor shown in Figures 10 and 11, non-consumption type of stator with high magnetic conductible material and a pulse input is provided to specially designed and positioned electricity conductive elongated bars 36, such as iron bars.

When we stimulate a point that is close to the strongest area of magnetic power pulling by providing an electric pulse at bar 36, the south pole will be pulled to bar 36. In addition, the strongest point of pushing power of the north pole will be pushing at the same time, and thereby it will rotate. Numeral 37 indicates weak spot of the magnet power of the south and north poles. It is noted that where the numerals of Figures 10-17 are the same as those employed in Figures 1-7, the essentially same parts are indicated. For example, numeral 27 represents the electro-magnet for the stator.

Electricity is supplied momentarily to the sta tor and continues to accumulate it. The ribs 35 of the stator housing can, for example, be made of super permalloy. A sensor portion 41 made of magnet conductive material is provided for checking whether a permanent magnetic power and magnet conductive material are load free or not. A space 42 in where magnetic power is not affective at all, making load free rotation possible. Shaft 44 of the step motor is also indicated.

As indicated in the figures, it is possible to obtain a large output power with a small pulse electricity input, such as in a ratio of over ten times that of the consumption type device shown in Figure 8.

Figures 12, 13 and 14 are showing step motors made in a cubic shape, and the face of south indicated by numeral 39 is the strongest surface of the permanent magnet, and that face is chasing after the momentary pulse electricity of magnet conductible material 36 in order of (R-2), (R-6) — (R-7), (R-3) by pulling power and thereby it provides rotation power. The pulse electricity is provided to the bar 36 of magnetic conductible material shown similarly in the embodiments of Figure 11 and

Figures 12-14. Also numeral 38 indicates magnetic pole north, and the space 42 is shown between the magnetic conductible bar material 36, and permanent magnet poles south or north shown radially out on supporting arm 43. Shaft 44 rotates together with gears, not shown, but described above.

Figure 12 is the outside view of the south pole surface; Figure 13 is the outside view of the north pole surface, and Figure 14 is the outside view of the south pole chasing after a pulse being pulled by it.

A non-conductive board 45 is connected to an automatic driving circuit 31. Numeral 47 indicates the area of attraction power affected from the face of the south pole.

The energy efficiency ratio of the round shaped and pipe shaped permanent batteries as shown in Figures 1,

10 and 11 are much lower than that of the permanent battery constructed in square shape, and these two types of permanent batteries may be used only when a low electric voltage is needed from a minute electric energy source or minute battery. In case a strong power and a large volume of electricity are needed, such as in an ordinary engine and motor, the permanent battery should be constructed in a square shape as indicated in Figures 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16.

Figure 15 is a system diagram of the energy producing system for providing a constant source or permanent battery, almost identical to the system shown in Figure 1. Because alternative pulse producing equipment 5A and pulse condensor bank 5B are combined together, the cost of the electricity, theoretically speaking, is less than one percent of the present cost of the electric power in cities such as Tokyo, Japan. The system shown in Figure 15 provides a large source of electricity, or a large energy source.

Figure 16 is a view, partly in cross-section of the system described and shown in Figures 12-15 to further illustrate the principles of the present invention. Hand crank 1 connects to elements similar to those shown in Figure 4, and when a permanent battery with large capacity is to be driven, a large electric power is also employed. Therefore, as indicated in driving circuits 7, 8, 9 and 10 in Figure 1, it is possible to accumulate the necessary electric power in a few seconds by recycling electric power and dividing up the power as indicated in the automatic driving circuit 31 in order to attain a compounding effect in accumulation energy. Again it is made so that recharging of the battery can also be used.

Figure 16 also shows electricity generator 2, speed gears 16, 17 and 18, a pulse divider 5, 6 and a buf fer 6A. These items are included in the automatic driving circuit 31 and cannot be seen from the outside.

Automatic driving circuit 31 divides the electricity in divider circuits 7, 8, 9 and 10 in order to recycle it. A hole 20 is used for securing to a magnet case, and it is possible to pile up one device after another. A nail 29 fits into the hole 20.

When the pulse 36 through the coil 27 coming from the electricity source battery 3 changes its position momentarily and proceeds to rotate, the south pole will chase after the pulse simultaneously being attracted to the pulses, and thereby it rotates. In this fashion, a large output power can be obtained with a small input power.

Because the north pole 38 is in the back of the south pole, if we install the step motor at the spaces 41 and 42 where there is no friction, the step motor can rotate without any load. Therefore, all of the motive power energy source of the permanent magnet can be obtained. The cubic shape permanent magnet step motor indicated in Figures 12, 13 and 14 is employed when higher energy and efficiency rates are required than the step motor with the rough shape shown in Figures 10 and 11.

The user motive power supply 14 shown in Figure 16 can be used in order to combine motive power of an engine or motor with permanent battery, and the non-consumption type permanent engine and a permanent motor are combined into this permanent battery. In short, the permanent battery can be used in combination with a permanent engine. This means that if we install a permanent engine to an automobile, it can supply electric power source to all other things, e.g., heating and air condition unit, lights, etc., according to their needs. Also, similar to the system of Figure 4, Figure

16 shows a hole 20 to secure to piece 29 the south, north poles step motor, and meter 26 measures the amount of production of electricity and the amount of electricity going out. Pulse producing equipment 5A and pulse condensor bank 5B are also shown, and meter 26 displays the electric control of automatic driving circuit system 31.

From the above description, it is seen that the present invention provides a device and a system which supplies electric power, electric heat, and motive power by piling up the described pulse electro-magnet rotator step motors. The device may have a permanent magnet column at least over 1 cm. in length which is encased in a thin iron or steel exterior shell made of a highly sensitive material. This device has a special characteristic of piling up motive power by using at least one gear or multiple gears in order to change speed of rotation of electro-magnet step motor for generating electric power. This pile up of energy by means of rotating an electro-magnet device, as described, produces recycled motive power, or electric power. Also, the pulse electro-magnet rotation energy pile up device is equipped with driving circuits that permit a minute amount of electric current, even 1.5 V, to pass through circuits S1, S2, S3, S4 consecutively as indicated in Figure 1, and that will divide up electric current in order to permit currents to pass separately through driving circuits 7, 8, 9 and 10. It can be seen that the devices might not require a continuous supply of energy in order to operate them. This electro-magnet rotation energy pile up device may be called a form of permanent battery that can supply electric power, motive power, electric heat, and energy continuously in an unlimited amount. Therefore, it is now possible to utilize the mutually multiplying effects of magnetic power of permanent magnet, and magnetic power created by the coil in the system of the present invention for providing a continuous source of recycled motive power and/or electric power. The present invention utilizes the inexhaustible

Magnetic Fields (north, south) of the earth. Assembling and utilizing foremost technologies of electronics and mecha-tronics, it has been found that rotating one electro-magnets with 1 cm. cube will produce 0.847 Watts (Hour).

When we increase the size of electro-magnet rotation devices to 1 meter square by piling them up 125,000 units of devices are needed, and their electric generation capacity togehter will be about 105 Kilo Watts. Consequently, this invention devices will reduce the size of existing sun-energy converting devices to about 1/5300. This is the result of the successful piling up of the electro-magnet rotators as described herein. This result is equivalent to obtaining an additional energy source which is about 392% of the input of energy to electro-magnetic rotation units per unit. The device of this invention, once installed, can be used semi-permanently. The pulse electro-magnet rotation energy device and its battery used in the system of the present invention can also be employed in residences, office buildings, factories, electric street cars, automobiles, aircrafts, space ships, space satellites, rockets, motors, computers, electric generators, and various mechanical machinery requiring motive power. Also, the subject device can be installed in many home appliances, and can be used as a battery that can be used semi-permanently. For example, the engine, an automobile and gasoline might, in the future, be replaced for running an automobile. Furthermore, the system of the present invention can be employed in automation devices, such as robots for providing both mechanical movements as well as serving as an electric power generating source. Other items to which the present invention can be applied includes watches, calculators, cameras, pumps, typewriters, printers, copiers, pumps, air conditioners, tape recorders and meters. Thus, by means of the above described electronic driving circuit which is an automatic rotating device, a very small electric current input of one pulse would be made to at least one of rotating stators dividing up the input power automatically and instantly at slightly ahead of the permanent magnet, in order to agitate the pulling power and repelling power of south and north poles, so as to let it rotate. This method will eliminate power wasting for playing a tug of war by north and south poles of permanent magnets, when a consumption type energy is used until now, and by installing stators and magnets at a distance so as to let it rotate without any load, and to one direction only. When a small electric current of one pulse is used as input power to agitate the magnetic power at the point strongest influence of pulling power or repelling power of the south and north poles, magnetic power (energy source) of permanent magnets that are inexhaustible will become a large output power, and get in the generator directly, and converted to electric energy. This is the pulse electro-magnet rotation energy accumulation method that produces energy efficient source of energy stronger output power than an input power. The accumulation method employs at least one gear that enables the change of speed, and pile on pulse electro-magnet step motors on side way, in a column, on top, at bottom, and around it in multiple number, and they can be piled up according to the need. The output power produced by the multiple shafts of step motors can be converted to electric energy directly by generators linked together for the purpose. An input power needed is to be recycled further through the driving circuit, and the surplus energy so obtained will be stored in a battery. Therefore, it can be said that this is a permanent battery that provide non-consumption type electric energy source semi-permanently by continuous recycling process.

Furthermore, this is the pulse electro-magnet rotation energy accumulation device to provide continuous motive power directly and semi-permanently to engine and motor, etc, that require direct rotation power. An explosive type pulse energy producing device together with a pulse condensor bank cause added to the device set forth above wherein said pulse producing device using alternative pulse energy producing explosive type reduces the cost to ordinary battery type pulse. The pulse electro-magnet rotation energy accumulation method by which energy efficiency ratio of the output power, greater than input power, can be obtained. While the invention has Ween described above with respect to its preferred embodiments, it should be understood that other forms and embodiments may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
