TECHNIQUES FOR THE EFFICIENT GENERATION OF ELECTRIC CURRENT BY TRANSLATION OF FORCE THROUGH HYDRAULIC COUPLING

摘要

Techniques for efficient generation of electric current from force remote from the generation apparatus and where the operative force for the generation apparatus may be readily directed through hydraulic coupling from the force due to the mass of vehicles acting on a surface to operate the moving component member of a linear induction generator. Optimally hydraulic fluid is made to act directly on a movable magnetic member within a linear induction generator to cause the generation of electric current in conductor windings when the magnetic force from a permanently magnetised member of the generator is caused to be focussed through the conductor windings by the position of alignment between the movable magnetic member and other parts of the fixed magnetic structure.
