ELECTRICAL GENERATOR

ABSTRACT
An electrical generator comprising an induction coil with a first magnet positioned adjacent to the first end of the
induction coil so as to be in the electromagnetic influence of the induction coil when it is energised, and for
creating a magnetic field around at least the first end of the induction coil. There is also a second magnet
positioned near the second end of the induction coil so as to be in the electromagnetic field of the induction coil
when the induction coil is energised, and for creating a magnetic field around at least the second end of the
induction coil. A power input circuit powers the induction coil. A timer is placed in the power input circuit in order
to create electrical pulses and controlling their timing. A power output circuit receives power from the induction
coil.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an electrical power generator, and more particularly to an "over-unity" electrical
power generator.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Electricity is conventionally generated in a number of ways, including fossil fuel powered electromechanical
generators, coal powered electromechanical generators, water-flow powered electromechanical generators,
nuclear reactor type generators, and so on. In each case, there are a number of disadvantages associated with
these methods, especially inefficiency and also the scarcity of a power source.

Recently, magnetic generators have been developed which produce electrical power from the magnetic field of the
Earth. Basically, an input magnetic field is quickly switched on and off, or alternatively more than one input
magnetic field is selectively switched on and off, on an alternating basis, to influence a larger magnetic field in an
electromagnetic apparatus that is selectively connected to an electrical power output circuit. A resulting electrical
power is produced in the power output circuit.

There are even magnetic generator circuits which produce more electrical power than that which is applied to the
circuit. While this seems to contradict the laws of physics, it docs not, otherwise, such magnetic generator circuits
would not work. These magnetic generator circuits work, on the basic principle that the space-time continuum is
very energetic, including energy fields such as the Earth's magnetic field.

It should be understood that electric fields and magnetic fields do not have an independent existence. A purely
electromagnetic field in one coordinate system can appear as a mixture of electric and magnetic fields in another
coordinate system. In other words, a magnetic field can at least partially turn into an electric field, or vice versa.

It is also well known that a system which is far from equilibrium in it's energy exchange with it's environment can
steadily and freely receive environmental energy and dissipate it in external loads. Such a system, can have a
Coefficient of Performance ("COP") greater than 1. For a COP greater than 1, an electrical power system must
take some, or all of its input energy, from it's active external environment. In other words, the system must be
open to receive and convert energy from it's external environment, as opposed to merely converting energy from
one form to another.
The US Patent 6,362,718 issued on 26th March 2002 to Patrick et at., discloses an electromagnetic generator
without moving parts. This electromagnetic generator includes a permanent magnet mounted within a rectangular
ring-shaped magnetic core having a magnetic path to one side of the permanent magnet and a second magnetic
path to the other side of the permanent magnet. A first input coil and a first output coil extend around portions of
the first magnetic path, with the first input coil being at least partially positioned between the permanent magnet
and the first output coil. A second input coil and a second output coil extend around portions of the second
magnetic path, with the second input coil being at least partially positioned between the permanent magnet and
the second output coil. The input coils are alternatively pulsed by a switching and control circuit and 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 the Patrick et al electromagnetic generator, the magnetic core includes circular
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.

The apparent problems with the electric magnetic generator is disclosed in US Patent 6,362,718 seem to be
twofold. First, it is more expensive to produce than necessary as it has four coils. Secondly, while it apparently
achieves a Coefficient of Performance of more than 3.0, a much greater Coefficient of Performance is readily
achievable. This is believed to be due to the specific physical configuration of the magnetic paths.

It is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical generator having a Coefficient of Performance
significantly greater than 1.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In accordance with one aspect of the present invention there is disclosed a novel electrical generator comprising
an induction coil. There is a first magnet positioned beside the first end of the induction coil so as to be in the
electro-magnetic field of the induction coil when the induction coil is energised, and for creating a magnetic field
around at least the first end of the induction coil. There is also a second magnet positioned near the second end
of the induction coil so as to be in the electro-magnetic field of the induction coil when the induction coil is
energised, and for creating a magnetic field around at least the second end of the induction coil. A power input
circuit provides power to the induction coil. A timing device is placed in the input power circuit in order to create
electrical pulses and for controlling the timing of those electrical pulses being passed to the induction coil. A
power output circuit receives power from the induction coil.

Other advantages, features and characteristics of the present invention, as well as methods of operation and
functions of the related elements of the structure, and the combination of parts and economies of manufacture, will
become more apparent upon consideration of the following detailed description and the appended claims with
reference to the accompanying drawings which are described here:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Referring to Fig.1 through Fig.6 of the drawings, it will be noted that Fig.1 through Fig.5 illustrate a first preferred
embodiment of the electrical generator of the present invention, and Fig.6 illustrates a second preferred
embodiment of the electrical generator of the present invention.

Reference will now be made to Fig.1 through Fig.5, which show a first preferred embodiment of the electrical
generator of the present invention, as indicated by general reference numeral 20. The electrical generator 20
comprises an induction coil 30 having a first end 31 and a second end 32. The induction coil 30 preferably
includes a core 34 which is made from any suitable type of material, such as ferrite, mumetal, permalloy, cobalt,
any non-permeable metal material, or any other suitable type of material. The coil 30 is wound with copper wire
which can be a single size or multiple sizes depending on the size of the ferrite core 34.

There is a first magnet 40 positioned adjacent to the induction coil 30, preferably at the first end 31 so as to be
within the electromagnetic field of the induction coil 30 when the induction coil 30 is energised. The first magnet
40 is a permanent magnet which has its North pole facing the first end 31 of the induction coil 30. In the first
preferred embodiment, the first magnet 40 is stationary with respect to the induction coil 30, and even more
preferably is in contact with, or is even secured to, the first end 31 of the induction coil 30. The size of the coil and
the copper wire used to wind the coil also depend on the size of the first magnet 40. The first magnet 40 is there
to create a magnetic field around at least the first end 31 of the first magnet 30.

There is also a second magnet 50 positioned adjacent to the induction coil 30, preferably at the second end 32 of
the induction coil 30 but at a distance of about 1.0 cm or so from the coil core 34 but within the electromagnetic
field of the induction coil 30 when the induction coil 30 is energised. The gap between the second end 32 of the
induction coil 30 and the second magnet 50 can be an air gap or can be a vacuum.

The second magnet 50 is a permanent magnet which has it's North pole facing the second end 32 of the induction
coil 30. In the first preferred embodiment, the second magnet 50 is stationary with respect to the induction coil
30. The size of the coil and the copper wire used to wind it also depends on the size of the second magnet 50.
The second magnet 50 is there in order to create a magnetic field around at least the second end 32 of the
induction coil 30.

As can be seen in Fig.1, the first magnet 40 is positioned so it's North pole is facing the first end 31 of the
induction coil and its South pole is facing away from the first end 31 of the induction coil 30. The first end 31 of
the induction coil 30 creates a South magnetic field when it is energised. In this manner, the North pole of the first
magnet 40 and the South pole of the first end 31 of the induction coil attract each other.

Similarly, but oppositely, the second magnet 50 is positioned so that it's North pole is facing the second end 32 of
the induction coil and its South pole is facing away from the second end 32 of the induction coil 30. The second
end 32 of the induction coil 30 creates a North magnetic field when the induction coil 30 is energised. In this
manner, the North pole of the second magnet 50 and the North pole of the second end 32 of the induction coil
repel each other.

A power input circuit section, as indicated by the general reference numeral 60, is for providing power to the
induction coil and is comprised of a source of electrical power 62. In the first preferred embodiment, as illustrated,
the input source of electrical power 62 comprises a DC power source, specifically a battery 62, but additionally or
alternatively may comprise a capacitor (not shown). The source of electrical power can range from less than 1.0
volt to more than 1,000,000 volts, and can range from less than 1.0 amp to more than 1 million amps.
Alternatively, it is contemplated that the input source of electrical power could be an AC power source (not
shown).

An input rectifier 64 which is preferably, but not necessarily, a full-wave rectifier 64, has an input 66 electrically
connected to the source of electrical power 62 and also has an output 68. A first diode 70 is connected at its
positive end 70a to one terminal 68a of the output 68 of the rectifier 62. A second diode 72 is connected at its
negative end 72a to the other terminal 68b of the output 68 of the rectifier 62.

There is also a timing mechanism 80 in the input power circuit section 60, which as shown, is electrically
connected in series with the first diode 70. This timing mechanism both creates electrical pulses and controls the
timing of those electrical pulses which are fed to the induction coil 30. The pulses are basically saw-tooth
waveforms, as can be seen in Fig.3.

In the first preferred embodiment, the timing device 80 is a manual timer in the form of a set of "points" from the
ignition system of a vehicle, as they can withstand high voltage and high current levels. Alternatively, it is
contemplated that the timing mechanism could be an electronic timing circuit. It is also contemplated that a TGBT
unit from a MIG welder could be used as the basis of the timing device 80. It has been found that a timing device
which provides a physical break in its "off" configuration works well as stray currents cannot backtrack through the
circuit at that time. The timing mechanism can be of any suitable design so long as it can respond to the
placement of the magnets 50 in the rotor 52 in the second preferred embodiment shown in Fig.6.

When the device is in use, the magnetic fields created by the first magnet 40 and the second magnet 50 in
conjunction with the coil 30, are each somewhat mushroom shaped, and oscillate back and forth, with respect to
their size, in a manner corresponding to the timing of the electrical pulses from the power input circuit 60, as
controlled by the timing mechanism 80.

The power input circuit 60 has an on/off switch 88 to allow disconnection of the power feed to the induction coil
30. The on/off switch 88 may alternatively be located in any other suitable place in the power input circuit 60.

A power output circuit section, indicated by the general reference numeral 90, is for receiving power from the
induction coil and comprises an electrical load 92, which, in the first preferred embodiment is a battery 92, but may
additionally or alternatively comprise a capacitor (not shown), or any other suitable electrical load device.

The power output circuit portion 90 also has an output rectifier 94 having an input 96 an output 98 electrically
connected to the electrical load 92 via a pair of forward biased diodes 100a, 100b which prevent the electrical
load 92 from powering the induction coil 30. A first diode 102 is electrically connected at its positive end 102a to
one terminal 94a of the input of the rectifier 94 and is electrically connected at its negative end 102b to one end of
the induction coil 30. A second diode 104 is connected at its negative end 104a to the other terminal 94b of the
input of the rectifier 94 and is electrically connected at its positive end 104b to the other end of the induction coil
30. The output of the coil, taken before the diodes 102,104 is shown in Fig.4.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Note: It is highly likely that there is a clerical error in Fig.1 because as it is drawn the bridge input is point 98 and
not 96 as stated. If this is the case, then the two diode bridges are identical and the output section should be
drawn like this:

although it is by no means obvious why diodes 102 and 104 are needed as their function would appear to be
provided by the output bridge diodes.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The output to the electrical load 92 of the power output circuit 90 can range from less than 1 volt to more than
1,000,000 volts, and can range from less than one amp to more than 1 million amps. As can be seen in Fig.5,
the output to the electrical load 92 comprises generally spike-shaped pulses which have both negative and
positive components.

As can be readily seen in Fig.1 and Fig.2, the input power circuit 60 is electrically connected in parallel with the
induction coil 30 and the output power circuit portion 90 is electrically connected in parallel with the induction coil
30.

The various diodes and rectifiers in the electrical generator 20 can be of any suitable voltage from about 12 volts
to over 1,000,000 volts, and can have slow recovery or fast recovery, as desired. Further, the various diodes and
rectifiers may be configured in other suitable formats. There also may be additional capacitors added into the
power output circuit adjacent to the electrical load 92 in order to increase the output power before discharge.

It has been found that setting the timing to six hundred pulses per minute (10 Hz) provides a waveform in the
power output circuit portion 90 that comprises generally spike-shaped pulses with a period of about 20
nanoseconds. It is believed that the flux of the power pulses that are input into the induction coil 30 is quickly
shifting the magnetic field back and forth in the induction coil 30, which is akin to the flux of the power pulses
creating its own echo. The various electromagnetic oscillations in the coil provide a much higher frequency in the
power output circuit 90 than in the power input circuit portion 60.

Reference will now be made to Fig.6, which shows a second preferred embodiment of the electrical generator of
the present invention, as indicated by general reference numeral 220. The second preferred embodiment
electrical generator is similar to the first preferred embodiment electrical generator 20 except that the second
magnet comprises several moving magnets 250, typically eight permanent magnets 250. These magnets are
mounted on a wheel 252, which is free to rotate. Ideally, these magnets are mounted in an identical way to each
other on the rotor disc 252. If desired, there can be any suitable number of magnets mounted in the rotor.
Accordingly, at least one rotor magnet 250 will be within the electromagnetic field of the induction coil 230 when
the coil is energised. The rotor magnets can be of any suitable strength and any suitable type of magnet, and
they may be mounted on the rotator by any suitable means, such as a suitable adhesive, or moulded into the disc
if the rotor is made of plastic. In practice, the rotor disc is driven round by the magnetic field of the induction coil
when it is energised. It is also possible for the first magnet to a rotor magnet in the same manner as described
for the second magnet 250.

As can be understood from the above description and from the accompanying drawings, the present invention
provides an electrical generator having a Coefficient of Performance greater than 1.0. and more specifically, an
electrical generator which has a Coefficient of Performance significantly greater than 1.0. An electrical generator
having a Coefficient of Performance significantly greater than 1.0 is at present, unknown in the prior art.

Other variations of the above principles will be apparent to those who are knowledgeable in the field of the
invention, and such variations are considered to be within the scope of the present invention. Further, other
modifications and alterations may be used in the design and manufacture of the electrical generator of the present
invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the following claims:
