CURRENT GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2000 - IPC

FIELD: magnetoelectric generators driven, for example, by windwheels. SUBSTANCE: generator has frame with bearings resting on hollow shaft which mounts rigidly fixed magnetic disks and axially magnetized magnets of alternating polarity. Coil leads are passed beyond generator to electric load. In addition, a number of permanent magnets are arranged between main magnets. Hollow shaft has holes and mounts magnetic disks. The latter are, essentially, electric blocks alternating with permanent magnets. Each electric block has insulating ring with hole and contacts, as well as cooler whose slots accommodate rotor and winding position detectors. Winding leads are connected to insulating ring contacts and combined to form phase sections. Magnets are installed in shells, interconnected to form frame and toroidal clearances wherein electric blocks are mounted. Position-detector leads are connected to control inputs of control unit. Phase sections of coils are connected to slip rings and series- or parallel-interconnected between electric blocks and connected through holes in ring and through hollow shaft to load; their other leads are connected to power switches of control unit. EFFECT: improved efficiency and specific power output. 5 cl, 7 dwg
