<p>An apparatus for inducing an electric current comprises a rotor with permanent magnets which rolls around a track or template 102 comprising linear portions 106 between curved end portions 104. Electric windings (17, figure 3) surround the track so the electricity is generated as the rotor moves. The track is mounted on a main pivot 15a, and is rocked by an external source of energy so that the rotor is always rolling downhill. The rotor and track have engaging formations or teeth to prevent sliding of the rotor. There may be two different engaging formations, one (8, figure 1) for the linear portions of track and the other (6, figure 1) for the curved sections.</p> |
