ENERGY TRANSFER SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

An energy transfer system has a rotor carrying at least one local permanent magnet or other magnetic device for producing a magnetic field along a magnetic axis that is transverse to the rotor's axis. The rotor can rotate the magnetic field. An armature that is coaxial with and axially spaced from the rotor has at least one remote permanent magnet or other magnetic device for interacting with the magnetic field The remote magnetic device has a magnetic axis that is transverse to the armature's axis of rotation. The armature can be angularly driven in response to rotation of the magnetic field from the rotor A number of angularly spaced windings are mounted about the armature and magnetically link with the remote magnetic device A current is induced in the windings in response to rotation of the armature and its magnetic device. This allows transmission through an optional non-ferromagnetic barrier that separates and extends transversely between the rotor and armature.

1. An energy transfer system comprising:
a sender having at least one local element for producing a magnetic field, said magnetic field being rotatable by said sender; an armature having at least one remote element for interacting with said magnetic field, said armature being arranged to be angularly driven in response to rotation of said magnetic field; and at least one winding disposed about said armature for interacting with said at least one remote element, a current being induced in said at least one winding in response to rotation of said armature and said at least one remote element.
