Abstract

An electrical transformer device comprises permanent magnet means 1, a magnetic core 3,4 and a coil arrangement 2, 7, 8 which can generate electricity without the use of any moving parts. The permanent magnet means 1 provides a homogeneous fixed polarity magnetic field circulating through the magnetic core 3, 4. The magnetic core is arranged in two loops 3, 4 with a common junction point 5. A coil 7 is arranged on the core 4 to cause pulses which redirect the magnetic field from the permanent magnet means 1 at that said junction 5 such that after the said junction the magnetic field within the core loops 3, 4 becomes a pulsed magnetic field. The pulsed magnetic field may then be used to generate electrical energy from further coils 2, 8 arranged on the core loops 3, 4. The permanent magnet means 1 may be used to siphon energy from the earth's magnetic field to sustain the electricity generating system.

Description

EEF I c icr E E2JOR 1. The Efficient Generator as described in this

write up relates to an electrical generator without any rotational mechanjsmlmovjng parts. It initially requjre electrjcei power to trigger the process, subsequently it employs earth's magnetic energy as self-contained and sustaining unit.

2. It is well established that to produce electricity, changing magnetic flux needs to be generae by electromagn, interaction. The changing magnetic flux is produced through rotation. As such to generate electricity, basically changing magnetic flux needs to be Produced and made to pass through the conduct,,s. The proposed invention aims to achieve the Preceding effect of producing and Passing of changing magnetic flux through conducto, with electronic means without the provision of any rotational movement The method to achieve these effects Primarily involves electrical transformer for COfltIflUOUS conversion of the magnetic energy into electricity. This method would be identified in the lines to follow but first the principle.

ThLednil 3. It is an established fact that in case of contempora,.y generato, the strength and direction of homogen5 magnec field are continuous changed through rotation.

Through rotation, the homogeneo5 energy of magnets is convelted into alternating pulses. Without involving rotational mechanism, the preceding effect has been achieved with a difference that is; the generated magnetic flux is unidirectional whereas, in the case of contemporary generators the flux is bi-directjonai. The direction of preceding changing magnetic flux is limited to uni-direction due fact that the field of stationary magnets is in one direction only. This aspect would be better identified with the elaboration of method. However, despite the uni-directional nature of changing magnetic flux/pulses, the similar effect/purpose that of generation of electricity is achieved.

4. In principle, to achieve the preceding purpose/eff homogenus Unidirectional magnetic field of permanent magnets (passing through a core) is subjected to another uni-directional pulsating magnetic field (and in fact the effect of poles produced by the field) of transformer. To produce the contInuous interaction with uni-directional field of stationary permanent magnets, the direction of transformer's flux/poles is/has to be restricted in the direction similar to the former.

Additionally, to break the homogeneous field of magnets into pulses, the field of permanent magnets is passed through the transformer core (as close as Possible) by Joining/crossjg both the cores at a point as depicted in Figure 1.

--

Consequently, the proximity flow/crossing coupled with stronger field effect of transformer's poles causes pulsating/cyclic attraction of the homogeneous magnetic energy towards transformer's section. The greater attraction of transfonTler's poles therefore, dMdes and converts the homogeneously flowing magnetic field energy particles into pulses as shown in Figure 2 on the next page.

I

One stream of these pulses travels along the transformer core producing corresponding additional electricity in the secondary coil whereas, the other continues through core housing permanent magnets which also results in the production of corresponding amount of electrical energy. it is also identified that due to the close crossing/interaj0 of both the fields, to produce required attraction onto the homogeneous magnetic field of permanent magnets (and consequently generation of aforementioned magnetic flux/pulses) requires small amount of input at the primary winding of transformer. This aspect of lesser/minor amount of input/energy required to produce the changing magnetic field/flux would be elaborated in detail in the subsequent paras. In the preceding manner therefore, the homogeneous magnetic energy of permanent magnets is Converted into Pulses/changing flux without involving mechanical movement and as such, requiring much lesser energy vis-à-vis the outcome/results 5. The sustained operation and generation of electricity by the proposed electricity generator (having no moving parts) is also dependent upon continuous provision of earth's magnetic energy routed/siphoned into the system in accordance with the principle/method identified in another proposal by the same author titled "Upgraded Motor and Generator". it is also identified at this stage that strength/intensity of earth's magnetic field though seems very less but its rate of exPloitation/siphoning mainly depends upon the strength/capacay of the permanent magnets used for this purpose. And surely magnets of appropriate strength could be manufactured to serve the purpose. This proposal of exploitation of earth's magnetic field (aimed at developing a generator having no moving parts) is a matter of foreseeable future and expected to be promoted keeping in view the benefits of proposed invention.

The Method 6. Method involves an easy combination of the contemporary simple technologies. Figure 3 depicts basic outline of the method where, a transformer core is crossed

through another one housing a homogeneous field of

permanent magnets. At the joining point, the cores are crossed with an aim to subject the homogeneous magnetic field to maximum influence of transformer's pulsating magnetic poles of higher strength (than the magnetic side) and pull the former towards later.

7, Unidirectional electrical supplied to the transformer from an outer source with an aim to initiate/produ pulsating magnetic field/poles in the same direction to that of the permanent magnetic field as depicted in Figure 3. As per the principle identified in above paras, the uni-directjonal pulses/higher pull of poles in transformer's core converts the homogeneous field of permanent magnets into two streams of pulses; one continuing in the original direction and the other one flowing along transformer's field. The requisite

S

electrical power could be routed back into transformer, whereas rest of the electrical energy produced by the preceding two pulsating streams could be fed into electrical grid. The method therefore, requires small amount of electrical power to only initiate the process and as identified earlier (in above para 5) subsequently, the whole process is sustained by siphoning earth's magnetic energy into the system.

The Experimental Evidence 8. Due to resource constraints and limited availability of required items, the experiments were performed to basically confirm,

"the conversion of homogeneous field of permanent

magnets into streams of magnetic pulses producing additional electrical energy" in accordance with the principle outhnecj in the preceding paras. And without involving any mechanical/rotational movement of any part, the experiments performed "resulted in the production of additional electricity".

Availability of greater resources, expertise and appropriate materials would enable the Promotion/developm of comprehensive self-contained electricity production unit involving no rotational/mechanical movement.

TheImpllcat ions 9. The outline of perceived implications of proposed method is as follows:-a. To quite an extent, the proposed Generator could altogether replace the present electrical generation system providing quantum boost to electricity generation with highly significant economic benefits.

b. The use of expensive as well as ecologically injurious foSsiI/nonconventional fuels in the generation process could be significantly reduced. And in fact the promotion of this proposal has all the promise to help recover the ecological balance especially the "warming" of planet earth.

c. With the promotion of Static-parts Generators, the necessity of high-powe transmission lines could be significantly reduced especially benefiting the remote regions and peoples.

d. This proposal if grouped with another idea by the same author titled "Upgraded Motor/Generator" has the potentials to significantly reduce the use of fossil fuels also in case of transportation.

Reid of 1nventi 1. As described in the abstract, the invention relates to development of an electrical generator Without any rotational mechanism. The proposal is based upon production of changing magnetic flux by subjecting the homogeneous filed of permanent magnets to another pulsating magnetic field.

The homogeneous magnetic field so converted into changing magnetic flux could be employed to generate electricity. The process is sustained through siphoning of earth's magnetic energy into the system. The proposed method has the potentials to achieve the objective with the initial provision of small amount of power! resource consequently, promises to provide electncity at highly economical rates.

History of the Work/Method 2. Till now according to the available information, no such method/principle (as described in this proposal) has been employed for direct conversion of magnetic energy into electricity without involving the use of external mechanical force/movement.

ObJective of the Inventj 3. Objective of the invention is to directly convert magnetic energy into electrical power without involving any rotational movement helping to lessen the production cost. g

The Concept 4. Conceptually, following aspects merit attention:-a. As per the contemporary understanding, the homogeneous field of permanent magnets in stationary position does not lend itself to be employed for production of electricity and as such, it has to be converted into Pulses/changing flux through rotation.

According to this proposal, the homogeneo field of

stationary permanent magnets could be converted into pulses through electrical interaction/means without involving external mechanical force.

b. It is identified that homogen field of

permanent magnets is like a flowing stream of particles.

A magnetic field of greater attraction flowing through (or in close proximity) to the magnetic stream particles could affect their path towards the former. A pulsating

magnetic field/poles of greater attraction would

therefore, cause corresponding periodic deviation of the

particles of homogeneo magnetic field and could

possibly convert them into pulses. Consequently, the

homogeneous magnetic field could be Converted into

two streams of energy pulses/pockets with one Continuing along the deviated path and the other one in the original direction. For the purpose f academic understanding, a stream of cricket balls could be visualized. Every alternate ball of the stream if just c touched (sideways) by the batsman with softest possible push would affect deviation causing two streams of balls running very close or shoulder-to-shoulder. In the same manner, a little periodic sideways attraction of the field of stronger poles could convert the

homogeneous magnetic field (flowing through the

former) into two streams of energy pulses flowing close to one another. Obviously, both these pulsating magnetic streams could be utilized for electricity production. it is evident from the preceding lines that force required to affect the aforementioned deviation of homogeneous magnetic field is directly proportional to the angle of crossIng of both the cores.

c. Now let's pay attention to the force/energy required to convert the homogeneous stream of magnetic particles into pulsating streams. From the preceding paras it is evident that requirement is to convert single homogeneous stream into two streams of changing magnetic flux flowing close to one another, it is Identified that even very small force could cause the requisite/mpnu deviation of the particles of homogeneous magnetic field converting them into two streams of pulses flowing side by side. Here again the example of cricket balls (identified in the preceding para) could be Considered, To cause such a small deviation to the balls so as to convert them into two streams flowing shoulder-to-shoulder requires very gentle push/small force by the batsman, As such, the IC) concept outlined in preceding paras has all the potentials to convert the homogeneous magnetic field into the pulsating streams with very small amount of force/energy consequently, paving way for development of highly efficient method of electricity generation as per the design guideline depicted in Figure 3 iled DescriDtiOn of the Inventiofl/Pr000Sal Figure 3 provides the necessary indicators helping to wstand the basic principle/Working of the proposed design. it is an established fact that the contempora,y electrical generation method requires COfltIflUOUS rotational movement to produce pulsating magnetic field across the conductors. As per Fig 3, to attain the preceding effect without involving any mechanical movement, transform& core crosses through another core housing permanent magnets so as to produce Continuous interaction between the

respective magnetic fields/poles.

6. Uni-directional electricity is provided to the primary coil of transformer from an outer source with an aim to produce the pulsating magnetic poles/field in the same direction that of the field of permanent magnets as depicted in Figure 3. As per the principle identified in the Preceding paras, the uni-directional magnetic poles produced by transformer owing to higher energy state (than that of the homogeneo field of permanent magnets) at the Joining point, produce greater degree of attraction vis-à-vis the poles of permanent magnets. Consequentiy, corresponding portions/particles of homogeneous field of permanent magnets are drawn! shifted towards transformer core. And as such, the homogeneous magnetic field of permanent magnets is converted into two streams of changing magnetic flux; one Continuing in the original direction and the other one along transformeys field.

Stream of changing magnetic flux Continuing in the original direction produces electricity in induction coil on the side of permanent magnets, whereas the other stream shifted towards transformer provides additional electricity in the secondary winding.

7. The requisite electrical power is routed back into transformer, whereas rest of the electrical energy produced by two aforementioned streams of magnetic flux could be fed into electrical grid. As such, after the initial provision of electrical energy from an outer source, the proposed design does not require any input from outside however, for sustained provision of electricity the earth's magnetic field is employed to support the process. The final shape of proposal Incorporating necessary additional magnets for siphoning of earth's magnetic energy into the system for sustained operation is depicted In Figure 4.

As elaborated under the previous heading of Concept, with the application of this method, conversion of homogeneous

magnetic field into changing magnetic flux

requires/consumes very less amount of resource/energy consequently, the major amount of electricity generated by aforementioned two pulsating magnetic streams could provide significant benefits.

The Present State 8. It is identified that due to resource, expertise and various material constraints, experiments were performed to basically confirm, "the conversion of homogeneous field of permanent magnets into the streams of changing magnetic flux/pulses producing additional electrical energy" in accordance with the principle outlined in the preceding paras.

And without involving any mechanical/rotational movement of any part, the experiments performed "resulted in the production of additional electricity to be employed purposefully". A full-scale model has been developed to demonstrate the preceding effects as shown in the photograph on the next page. Availability of greater resources would enable the promotion/development of comprehensive self-contained electricity production unit involving no rotational/mechanical movement.
