Electromechanical energy converter

摘要

An electromechanical energy converter comprises a linear induction motor and a switching assembly. The linear induction motor includes an inductor formed of individual transversal laminations with windings and a secondary element. The transversal laminations are provided with slots and the winding of each transversal lamination is a distributed winding having sections connected to the switching assembly which either connects the winding of one transversal lamination to one phase of an a.c. power source and the windings of the subsequent laminations to the other phases thereof or connects the winding of each transversal lamination to all phases of the a.c. power source. This invention permits a longitudinal or transversal movement of the inductor and uniform transversal distribution of a magnetizing force within an air gap between the inductor and secondary element.
