CHEMO-ELECTROMAGNETIC GENERATOR

摘要

A hollow cylindrical permanent magnet 43 has an axial stainless steel core 38 surrounded by a coil 50. The core interior contains LaCO5 particles, to which hydrogen gas can be supplied from tube 81, the gas exhausting via tube 82. The core also has a coolant pipe 39. The lanthanum cobalt is rapidly reversibly cycled through a hydride phase by controlling the hydrogen supply to and from the core interior, possibly also with cyclic temperature control, so that its magnetic reluctance is varied which causes an alternating emf to arise in the coil 50.
