- an electrodynamic machine 10 in the form of an electric generator for generating an electrical current which can be either a DC current or an AC current. Accordingly, the electric generator 10 can function as any appropriate form of generator such as a dynamo or an alternator.
- the electric generator 10 comprises a first shaft 11 and a second shaft 12.
- the two shafts 11 , 12 are supported in bearings 9.
- a first rotor 13 is mounted on the first shaft 11 and a second rotor 15 is mounted on the second shaft 12.
- the two shafts 11 , 12 are connected to a drive means 14 which operates to drive the shafts in opposite directions and thereby cause the first and second rotors 13, 15 to rotate one relative to the other in opposite directions.
- the two rotors 13, 15 are positioned one within the other, with an air gap 17 defined therebetween. Accordingly, the first rotor 13 constitutes an outer rotor and the second rotor 15 constitutes an inner rotor.
- the first (outer) rotor 13 is rotatably supported on the second (inner) rotor 15 by bearings 16.
- the two rotors 13, 15 are adapted to co-operate to generate an electrical current.

- the construction of the inner rotor 15 is similar to a rotor in a conventional electric generator.
- relative rotation between the rotor and the stator generates an electrical current.
- a similar result is achieved in the present embodiment whereby relative rotation between the two rotors 13, 15 generates an electrical current which is extracted by way of the slip ring system 21 in known manner.
- the two shafts 11 , 12, are connected together in a manner which provides mutual lateral support while allowing relative rotation therebetween.
- the shaft 1 1 incorporates a socket 25 which receives a spigot 27 provided on the second shaft 12.
- the second shaft 12 is actually formed in two sections 12a and 12b, with the inner rotor 15 being positioned between the two sections.
- the second section 12b provides the spigot 27, as best seen in Figure 3 of the drawings.
- the outer rotor 13 is of hollow construction comprising a cylindrical side wall 30 and two end walls 31 , 32.
- the end wall 32 is detachably mounted on the cylindrical side wall 30 to facilitate removal for access to the interior region defined within the hollow outer rotor 13 to facilitate installation and removal of the inner rotor 15.
- the drive means 14 in this embodiment comprises an input drive shaft 33 which is drivingly connected to a motor (not shown).
- a drive pinion 34 is mounted on the input drive shaft 33 for rotation therewith.
- the drive pinion 34 is in meshing engagement with a first driven pinion 35 and a second driven pinion 36.
- the second driven pinion 36 is mounted on the second drive shaft 12 for transmission of rotational torque from the input drive shaft 33 to the second drive shaft 12.
- the first driven pinion 35 is drivingly connected to the outer router 13.
- the first driven pinion 35 is mounted on the end wall 32 of the outer router 13 and is rigidly secured thereto by suitable fixings or by welding.
- the first driven pinion 35 is not connected to the second shaft 12 but merely surrounds the second shaft without being drivingly connected thereto. This is accomplished by the second shaft 12 passing freely through a central passage within the first driven pinion 35.
- the input driving shaft 33 is drivingly connected to the first and second rotors 13, 15 so as to cause relative rotation therebetween in opposite directions.
- the input drive shaft 33 is drivingly connected to the first rotor 13 through the drive pinion 34 and the first driven pinion 35 which is in meshing engagement with the drive pinion 34 and which is drivingly connected to the first rotor 13.

- a fly wheel 37 is mounted on the first shaft 1 1 provided for the purpose of maintaining reasonably constant rotational speeds for the routers 13, 15 in spite of any minor variations in the input power delivered by the motor (not shown) driving the drive shaft 33.
- the slip ring system 21 is conveniently located on the first shaft 11 adjacent the fly wheel 37.
- the drive means 14 has several advantages, one of which is that it ensures that the rotors 13, 15 rotate at the same angular velocity (although in opposite directions) by virtue of the drive pinion 34 being in meshing engagement with both of the driven pinions 35, 36.
- the drive means 14 provide the additional benefit that the two shafts 11 , 12 undergo rotation and can be used to deliver rotational torque for other purposes.
- the engine (not shown) for driving the electric generator can be drivingly connected to the second shaft 12, with the shaft 33 as well as the shaft 11 both in functioning as output shafts for delivering rotational torque for other purposes.
- the electric generator 10 according to the second embodiment comprises a first shaft 1 1 and a second shaft 12.

- each shaft 11 , 12 is adapted to be connected to a respective drive means (not shown) such as an engine.
- the electric generator 10 according to this embodiment operates in a similar fashion to the electric generator of the first embodiment in the sense that rotational torque is applied to the first shaft 11 and the second shaft 12 in opposite directions so as to cause the first and second rotors 13, 15 to also rotate one relative to the other in opposite directions.
- a speed regulation means may be used in association with the electric generator.
- a speed regulation means 40 comprising a gear mechanism 41 in the form of an epicyclic gear train 45 having an internal gear 47 mounted on or formed integrally with the outer rotor 13 and a sun gear 49 mounted on the second shaft 12, with a series of planetary gears 51 in meshing engagement between the internal gear 47 and the sun gear 49.
- the epicyclic gear train 45 provides a geared connection between the first shaft 11 and the second shaft 12, thereby ensuring that the two drive shafts rotate at a common angular velocity (although of course in opposite directions).
- FIG. 8 of the drawings illustrates a further speed control means 40 which is similar to the speed control means illustrated in Figures 6 and 7 with the exception that only one planetary gear is utilised.
- any other suitable gear mechanism may be utilised to couple the two shafts 1 1 , 12 together to ensure that they are caused to rotate at a common angular velocity (although in different directions).
- the electric generator 10 comprises a first shaft 1 1 on which a first rotor 13 is mounted, and a second shaft 12 on which a second rotor 15 is mounted.
- the two rotors 13, 15 are not mounted one within the other as was the case with the first embodiment but rather are positioned axially in a side-by-side relationship with an air gap 17 defined therebetween.
- the two shafts 1 1 , 12 are connected one to another in a manner which provides mutual lateral support while allowing relative rotation therebetween. This is achieved by the provision of a socket 25 in one of the shafts receiving a spigot 27 on the other of the shafts.

- the first bevel gear 91 is mounted on the outer rotor 13 and so is drivingly connected to the first shaft 1 1.
- the second bevel gear 92 is drivingly connected to the second shaft 12 by being mounted thereon.
- the meshing engagement between the pinions 93, 95 and the gears 91 , 92 ensures that the two rotors 13, 15 rotate at the same angular velocity but in opposite directions.
- gear mechanism 101 through which an electric generator 10 according to a further embodiment can be driven from a single output shaft 103 of an engine (not shown).
- the gear mechanism 101 comprises a bevel pinion 105 mounted on the output shaft 103.
- the bevel pinion 105 is in meshing engagement with a first bevel gear 107 and a second bevel gear 109.
- the two bevel gears 107, 109 are in spaced relationship and rotate about a common axis.

- the second bevel gear 109 is drivingly connected to the second shaft 12 by being mounted thereon.
- the meshing engagement between the pinion 105 and the two bevel gears 107, 109 ensures that the two rotors 13, 15 rotate at the same angular velocity but in opposite directions.
- the present invention provides a simple yet highly effective electrodynamic machine which incorporates two rotors rotating one relative to the other.
- the electrodynamic machine may function as an electric motor whereby electrical energy delivered to the electrodynamic machine is converted into mechanical energy in the form of rotational torque delivered to the drive shafts of the two rotors.
