MAGNETOELECTRIC CONVERTER Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: electrical engineering. SUBSTANCE: flat spiral magnetic spring is arranged in clearance between permanent magnets rigidly installed with their unlike poles on housing inner wall. Inner end of spring is secured on fixed axle between magnets, and outer end of spring is coupled with movable member installed for linear travel along converter guide. Spring has on its ends output leads to be connected to controlled current source.
