An
electromagnetic generator without moving parts includes a permanent magnet and a
magnetic core including first and second magnetic paths. A first input coil and
a first output coil extend around portions of the first magnetic path, while a
second input coil and a second output coil extend around portions of the second
magnetic path. The input coils are alternatively pulsed to provide induced
current pulses in the output coils. Driving electrical current through each of
the input coils reduces a level of flux from the permanent magnet within the
magnet path around which the input coil extends. In an alternative embodiment of
an electromagnetic generator, the magnetic core includes annular spaced-apart
plates, with posts and permanent magnets extending in an alternating fashion
between the plates. An output coil extends around each of these posts. Input
coils extending around portions of the plates are pulsed to cause the induction
of current within the output coils. |
