  • the term "rotor” is used to indicate that rotor magnet 240 would typically be coupled to the moving or rotating portion of electrical generator 200.
  • Induction magnet 230 is so named because it induces the electromotive force (emf) in coil 220.

  • Induction magnet 230 is constrained by tube 210 so that the magnetic repulsion force causes induction magnet to move upwards and maintain the direction of it magnetic moment (i.e. the orientation of its poles).
  • the force on induction magnet 230 from the repulsive magnetic force is illustrated by the vector labelled F r and the gravitational force is illustrated by the vector labelled F g .
  • the repulsive magnetic force is larger than the gravitational force causing the induction magnet to move upwards within tube 210.
  • movement of induction magnet 230 generates an electromotive force that induces a current in the wire of coil 220.

This spacing results in more tubes 310 in the tube assembly than rotor magnets 340 on rotor assembly 312.
  • the rotor assembly 312 may also include an upper disk 306 which is described further below.

  • a smaller magnet e.g. a cap magnet
  • This arrangement may also be used at the top end of the sealed linear generator 300, preventing the magnet 330 within the linear generator 300 from hitting the top of the sealed linear generator 330 when acted upon by attractive forces of the secondary rotor magnet 340 on the rotor with a dissimilar pole attracting the magnet 330 within the linear generator 300.

Secondary rotor magnet 441 has the same magnetic moment as rotor magnet 440. As the rotor assembly is in motion, first, rotor magnet 440 will repel induction magnet 430 away ⁇ i.e. upwards in FIG. 4). As the rotor assembly moves with respect to tube 410 ⁇ i.e. from left to right in FIG. 4), the field of secondary rotor magnet 441 can interact with induction magnet 430 causing it to move in the opposite direction ⁇ i.e. downwards in FIG. 4).

Abstract

La présent invention concerne un générateur électrique, comprenant : un stator ayant une bobine et un aimant de levage couplé, au moyen d'un levier, à un aimant d'induction, l'aimant d'induction étant mobile longitudinalement à l'intérieur de la bobine, le levier étant configuré de sorte à déplacer l'aimant d'induction sur un multiple d'une distance sur laquelle l'aimant de levage est déplacé ; et un rotor, mobile par rapport au stator, le rotor ayant un aimant de rotor, l'aimant de rotor et l'aimant de levage étant positionnés avec des moments magnétiques respectifs opposés de telle sorte que le mouvement de l'aimant de rotor vers l'aimant de levage contraigne l'aimant de levage à s'éloigner de l'aimant de rotor, ce qui contraint alors, par l'actionnement du levier, l'aimant d'induction à se déplacer à l'intérieur de la bobine pour générer une première force électromotrice dans cette dernière.
