LINEAR PERMANENT-MAGNET GENERATOR Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: alternative means for power generation by converting permanent-magnet energy into electricity. SUBSTANCE: linear generator has nonmagnetic case accommodating two permanent magnets in the form of horizontally mounted cylinders provided with spherical cambers on ends and disposed on its opposite sides. Each of them is mounted on shaft that has drive for turning it. Third sliding magnet is installed in intermediate part of case inside stator winding between two revolving magnets on guides for reciprocating from one revolving magnet to other. It is made in the form of rectangle with side cambers for probable rotation of revolving magnets when it occurs in immediate proximity of them. Reciprocating motion of sliding magnet induces electromagnetic force in coil. Electrical energy produced in this way is transmitted to rectifier. EFFECT: enlarged functional capabilities, reduced cost of electrical energy generated. 1 cl, 2 dwg
