CIRCUITRY FOR INCREASING EFFICIENCY OF A LINEAR ELECTRIC GENERATOR

摘要

A linear electric generator (LEG) includes sections of coils of an induction coil assembly (ICA) disposed along a distance d 1 and apparatus for passing a permanent magnetic assembly (PMA) of length d 2 , where d 2 is less than d 1 , along the coils for generating voltages and power in the coils in close proximity to the PMA. Unidirectional conducting elements are connected between the coils and output power lines to couple the voltages developed across excited coils to the output power lines without the unexcited coils loading down or dissipating the voltage developed across the output power lines.
