LINEAR GENERATOR-COMPRESSOR UNIT FOR TRANSPORT Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: auxiliary power and compressed-air supply for vehicles. SUBSTANCE: linear generator- compressor unit has magnetic core, stator built up of two coils 1 placed in ferromagnetic cylinders 3. Poles 4 at ends of coils 2 bear up against permanent magnets 5 on one side and against nonmagnetic guide 6 on other side; guides 6 abutting against upper magnetizing coil 1 have axial grooves and ferromagnetic cylinders 3 are separated by nonmagnetic bush 7 with radial hole; permanent magnets 5 are adjacent to flange 8 incorporating exhaust valve 9. Armature 10 is mounted with its north pole up and its lower end carries hinge 11 coupling it to rod 12 whose exit end carries similar hinge 11 attached to axle 13 of wheel 14; corrugated casing 15 mounted on side of axle 13 functions to protect the unit; on upper side, it is secured to base of vehicle 16; stator core is connected to permanent-magnet unlike poles facing each other. EFFECT: improved design. 2 cl, 1 dwg
