ZERO POLLUTION VERTICAL/LINEAR ELECTRICAL GENERATION FACILITY

摘要

An electrical generation facility includes a drive unit and an electric al generation unit. The drive unit takes the form of a pump jack of the type commonly used to extract oil from oil fields. As such it has a walking beam to which a rocking motion is imparted by a motor. At its one end the beam has a head provided with a convex surface. The generation unit includes a stator provided with coils and an armature having magnets. The armature is coupled to the beam through a rod and a cable, the latter of which that passes over the convex surface of the head at the end of the beam. Thus, when the beam pivots back and forth the armature moves along the coils of the stator. The magnetic flux induces a current in the coils. The coils may be arranged in sets and a separate armature way exist for each set.
