ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATION BY COUPLED MAGNETS

摘要

An electrical generator has a plurality of mutually spaced magnets (62,64) that move together relative to at least one coil (82,84) to generate an electrical signal in the coils. Equal numbers of magnets and coils, with equal lengths and spacings between them, are preferably employed. Significant enhancements in power output are achieved by orienting successive magnets in magnetic op~position to each other, so that the magnetic fields from successive magnets along the axis of movement substan~tially cancel each other at locations between the mag~nets.
