AI Technical Summary
Existing generators face challenges in achieving smooth rotational motion due to partial suction forces applied by magnets, leading to suppressed rotational force and inefficiency in electricity generation.
The generator employs a design with multiple coils attached to the outer periphery of a circular magnet arrangement, where magnets providing suction or repulsive forces are arranged in the moving section to apply magnetic forces in all directions, allowing for even transmission of forces and smooth rotation.
This design enables the generator to rotate with a small force, maintain high-speed rotation, and increase power generation efficiency by evenly distributing the magnetic force, allowing the magnet group to be suspended in the air and rotate contactlessly.

Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a generator in which the movement of a magnet attached to a rotating moving part causes the magnet of a power generating part to move within a coil, generating an induced current in the coil to generate electricity and obtain electrical energy. [Background technology]
[0002] A generator such as that shown in Reference 1 has been proposed as a generator that generates electricity by moving a magnet inside a coil.
[0003] A generator made by connecting multiple magnets is made into a circle, multiple coils are attached to the periphery, a rotor with magnets that exert an attractive force on the magnets in the generator is placed on top of the generator, and a force is applied to the rotating shaft from the outside to rotate the rotating shaft with the rotor, which rotates the generator by the attractive force of the magnets attached to the rotor, generating an induced current in the multiple coils arranged on the periphery to generate electricity (Reference 1). [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Patent 6464339 [Patent Document 2] Patent 4964299 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] In the document 1, the magnet of the rotor applies an attractive force to the magnet of the generator so that a magnetic force is applied perpendicularly. For this reason, if the south pole of the magnet of the rotating body is brought vertically close to the north pole of the magnet of the generator and attracted to it, the south pole of the magnet of the generator will tend to move away from the south pole of the magnet of the rotating body. As a result, an attractive force is applied partially to the magnet of the generator, and when an attempt is made to rotate the generator, the circular motion is dispersed, which tends to suppress the rotational force.
[0006] Therefore, the generator of the present invention applies the vibration power generation method described in Reference 2, and rotates magnets that apply attractive or repulsive forces to a generator that generates an induced current in a coil, arranging them in parallel from all directions, and rotates the generator using the magnetic force to generate electricity and obtain electrical energy. [Means for solving the problem]
[0007] The generator of the present invention has a plurality of coils attached to the outer periphery of a circular generator consisting of a plurality of magnets with no axis of rotation, and has a plurality of magnets arranged in the moving section that apply magnetic forces of attraction or repulsion to the magnets of the generator. The magnet of the moving part is attached to a rotating body parallel to the magnet of the power generating body, and the rotating shaft supporting the rotating body is held by a fixed base of the generator.
[0008] In addition, a bearing is provided at the bottom of the power generating unit to support the power generating unit, and the weight of the power generating unit is supported by the bearing. On the other hand, multiple coils are also attached to a fixed base, and the output from each coil is connected by electric wires to bridge diodes, capacitors, and resistors in the control unit, and is output to the outside as electrical energy. Effect of the Invention
[0009] When the magnet of the moving part is brought close to the magnet of the power generating body, which generates an induced current in each coil, in parallel and rotated while applying equal attractive or repulsive forces, the magnet of the power generating body is also attracted to or repelled by the magnet of the moving part, causing it to rotate smoothly. In addition, the magnet in the moving part exerts magnetic force on the magnet in the generator from all directions and in parallel, so the magnetic force is transmitted evenly and the attractive force is increased.
[0010] This makes it possible to apply magnetic fields from all directions to the magnets of the power generating body, suspending the magnets of the power generating body in mid-air, creating a contactless, nearly gravity-free state, enabling rotation with little force and maintaining high speed rotation.
[0011] The generator of the present invention is made by connecting multiple magnets with opposite polarities to form a circular magnet group without an axle, which increases power generation efficiency, and the rotational movement of the inner moving part allows the generator to perform stable circular rotational movement.In addition, since each part is removable, bearings and rings that have worn down due to rotation can be easily replaced. In addition, by providing bearings at the bottom of the power generating body and the rotating body, the load during rotation can be reduced. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0013] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of a generator according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing a generator 1 of the present invention and a water turbine 20 as a power source, and FIG. 2(A) is a perspective view showing the power generating body 6 and rotating body 2 of the generator 1 of FIG. 1 in order to explain the details.
[0014] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2(A), a rotor 2 having a rotation axis 7 as its center is placed on a fixed base 14, and a power generator 6 not having a rotation axis 7 is placed outside of the rotor 2. A plurality of coils including a first coil 11 and a second coil 12 are attached to the outer periphery of the power generating body 6, and each coil is placed on a coil stand 13, and each coil stand 13 is attached to a fixed stand 14.
[0015] As shown in the wiring diagram of FIG. 14, induced currents output from a plurality of coils including the first coil 11 and the second coil 12 are output to the outside via each bridge diode 34, a capacitor 35, and a resistor 36. Moreover, the four or more coils and the bridge diode 34 are omitted.
[0016] A rotor 2 having a plurality of magnets is connected to a rotating shaft 7 attached to a fixed base 14, and a first bevel gear 15 is attached to the top portion. A second bevel gear 16 for transmitting power is in contact with the first bevel gear 15, and a coupler 17, a pulley 18, a belt 19, and a water wheel 20 as a power source are connected to the second bevel gear 16.
[0017] In Figures 1 and 2(A), multiple magnets, including a first magnet 3 and a second magnet 8, are attached radially to the rotating body 2 at the same distance from the center of the rotating body 2 but at different angles, and are attached so as to be parallel to each magnet of the generator 6.In addition, on the outside of the rotating body 2, a generator 6 having multiple magnets, including a fourth magnet 10 and a third magnet 9, is installed.
[0018] FIG. 2A is a diagram showing the ring 4 portion of the power generating body 6 in FIG. The ring 4 is supported by a plurality of bearings 5 with its sides and bottom surface in contact with each other. In the generator of Document 1, as shown in FIG. 2(B), the magnetic force of the first magnet 3 attached to the rotor strikes the fourth magnet 10 attached to the power generating body at a perpendicular angle. As a result, the north pole of the fourth magnet 10 receives an attractive force from the south pole of the first magnet and tries to move in the direction of the arrow 54.
[0019] On the other hand, the south pole of the fourth magnet 10 tends to move away in the direction of arrow 55, and the power generator having the fourth magnet 10 does not apply an even force to it compared to the first magnet 3, the attractive force becomes weaker, and the rotational movement does not become smooth. As shown in Figure 2(A), multiple magnets including the first magnet 3 and second magnet 8 of the rotating body 2 are attached in parallel with magnetic force polarity that exerts an attractive force on the opposing fourth magnet 10 and third magnet 9 of the power generating body 6.
[0020] As a result, the north and south poles of the first magnet 3 are equally attracted to the south and north poles of the fourth magnet 10, and the two magnets are attracted to each other. Furthermore, since the two magnets approach each other at the shortest distance, attraction occurs throughout both magnets, increasing the attractive force and causing the generator 6 to rotate smoothly in a circle. However, when there are a large number of magnets including the first magnet 3, the first magnet 3 may be oriented perpendicular or at an angle to each magnet including the fourth magnet 10 of the power generating body 6 rather than parallel to it as shown in Figure 2(B), thereby applying magnetic force to the fourth magnet 10 from all directions.
[0021] The power generating body 6 is structured so that a circle is formed by one ring 4, or a circle is formed by connecting multiple rings 4 that can be divided into multiple parts, and it has multiple magnets and is circular in shape without a rotation axis 7 that can rotate and move within each coil. In FIG. 2(A), the shape of the ring 4 is formed into a doughnut-like circle, or it can also be formed into a semicircle with a portion missing, and by attaching only one fourth magnet 10, it is possible to form a power generator 6 that does not form a circle.
[0022] This makes it possible for the power generating body 6 to be inserted into multiple coils, and then for the rings 4 to be linked and combined to form a doughnut-shaped circle. When the coil stand 13 on which the multiple coils reside is fixed to the fixed stand 14, the power generating body 6 can move in a circular rotation within each coil. In addition, the magnets are arranged so that their magnetic poles face each other, thereby increasing the efficiency of power generation.
[0023] Similarly, the third magnet 9, located on the opposite side of the rotation axis 7, receives a similar magnetic force from the second magnet 8, resulting in an equal attractive force at all times, and the same situation also exists between the other multiple magnets arranged in the same way. Therefore, a force is always acting on the entire power generating body 6 toward the center of the rotating shaft 7 due to each attractive force, and by balancing the magnetic forces, smooth circular rotation can be achieved within each coil. When the power generator 6 rotates, a centrifugal force acts on the power generator 6 to cause it to expand outward, so it is necessary to strengthen the magnetic forces of the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 8.
[0024] In Figures 1 and 2(A), multiple magnets are arranged on the rotating body 2, and each magnet rotates by exerting an attractive force on each magnet of the power generating body 6. However, it is also possible to reverse the polarity of some or all of the magnets and use the repulsive force to operate the rotating body 2. Moreover, instead of the first magnet 3, a magnetic material such as soft iron, ferrite, or cobalt may be used to apply an attractive force to the fourth magnet 10 to operate it.
[0025] FIG. 3(A) is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 2(A), in which the ring 4 is supported by bearings 5 at both the side and bottom. As a result, the power generating body 6 rotates while occasionally contacting the bearing 5, so that the weight of the power generating body 6 is supported by the bearing 5, and the load during rotation is reduced.
[0026] As shown in Figure 1, when the water wheel 20 in contact with the water surface rotates, it rotates the pulley 18, which in turn rotates the belt 19 and the coupler 17, which in turn rotates the two bevel gears, which in turn rotates the rotor 2 attached to the rotating shaft 7. The first magnet 3 attached to the rotating body 2 rotates, and the generator 6 having the fourth magnet 10, which is attracted or repelled by its magnetic force, also rotates and moves within the first coil 11, generating an induced current in the first coil 11 and generating electricity.
[0027] In FIG. 2(A), the magnets in the ring 4 are mounted facing each other so that their polarities repel each other, but if there is space between the magnets, they may be operated with their polarities facing the same direction. Moreover, the power generator 6 may be formed by directly joining the magnets together with an adhesive or the like to narrow the gap, or the power generator 6 may be formed by the magnets themselves without using the ring 4.
[0028] In Figures 1, 2(A), and 3, the cross section of ring 4 forms a circle with an upper portion missing, and the cross section of fourth magnet 10 also forms a circle, but the shape of fourth magnet 10 or ring 4 may be an ellipse, square, polygon, or other shape to form power generating body 6, and each coil may be formed into an ellipse, square, polygon, or other shape.
[0029] In this way, in this proposal, the generator 6 is formed as a circle or semicircle, and bearings 5 are arranged in all directions of the generator, such as above and below, left and right, and diagonally. When an attractive force, a repulsive force, or both are applied to the generator 6 from all external directions, the generator 6 will be attracted or repelled by the magnetic forces and rotate.
[0030] In FIG. 1, the power generating body 6 is installed horizontally and rotates, but it is also possible to remove the two bevel gears, position the fixed base 14 vertically, and connect the water wheel 20 directly to the rotating shaft 7 so that the power generating body 6 rotates vertically. In this proposal, materials other than the magnets should be non-magnetic as much as possible, and it is desirable for them to be made of non-magnetic materials such as plastic, aluminum, stainless steel, rubber, brass, titanium, ceramic, and carbon.
[0031] In addition, although water is used as a power source to rotate the water wheel 20 to generate electricity, wind, steam, an electric motor, etc. may also be used as a power source. In this case, the water wheel 20, belt 19, and coupler 17 are structured so that the rotating shaft 7 rotates when exposed to wind or steam, and is also structured so that it rotates due to a motor. EXAMPLES
[0032] In Example 1, when the ring 4 rotates for a long time, the contact parts between the bearing 5 and the ring 4 wear out and need to be replaced periodically. However, if a groove is provided in the contact part on the outer periphery of the ring 4 and a detachable wire 22 is inserted into the groove as shown in Figure 3(B) and the generator 6 is supported by the bearing 5 via the wire 22, then by replacing the worn wire 22, it becomes unnecessary to replace the entire ring 4, and maintenance can be easily performed. In addition, the shape of wire 22 may be a circle, ellipse, square, polygon, or other shape, and if a detachable protective plate is fixed to ring 4 on the contact surface with bearing 5 instead of wire 22, maintenance can also be easily performed by simply replacing the removable protective plate. EXAMPLES
[0033] Next, an embodiment in which a detachable pipe 23 is attached instead of the circular ring 4 in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2(A) and the power generating body 6 is made circular will be described. FIG. 4(A) is an oblique view of multiple magnets covered by a doughnut-shaped circular pipe 23 made by combining multiple separable pipes 23. The wavy part shows the internal structure with the upper part of the pipe 23, which can also be separated into upper and lower parts, removed. FIG. 4(B) is an enlarged view of the wavy part in FIG. 4(A) to show the inside. The rotating body 2 and the multiple coils described in the first embodiment are not shown, and the other parts other than the power generating body are the same as those in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2(A) of the first embodiment and have already been described, so they will not be described here.
[0034] The generator 6 in Figures 1 and 2(A) is formed into a doughnut-shaped ring 4 by combining separable rings 4 and magnets. If the ring 4 becomes worn due to friction, the ring 4 must be disassembled in order to replace it, which makes it difficult to reassemble the rings within each coil. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, the pipes 23 are designed to be divisible, and furthermore, by fitting the recesses and protrusions, the pipes 23 are designed to be divisible into upper and lower parts, and the pipes 23 are connected together.
[0035] In FIG. 4(B), multiple magnets including the fourth magnet 10 and the seventh magnet 27 are covered with separable pipes 23, an elastic body 24 is inserted between each magnet, and each pipe 23 is combined as shown in FIG. 4(A) to form a donut-shaped power generator 6. The elastic body 24 is made of elastic non-magnetic material such as rubber, spring, cushion, sponge, etc. that will not move the magnets inside the pipe 23, and does not need to be attached if the magnets can be connected without any problems.
[0036] As a result, the outside of the power generating body 6 covered by the pipes 23 can be divided into multiple parts, and by combining the individual pipes 23, a doughnut-shaped circle is formed, which can rotate in a circle within each coil. Even if the outer pipe 23 of the circle once assembled is worn down by rotational movement, it is only necessary to replace the worn part of the outer pipe 23, without the need to largely dismantle the circle of the power generating body 6, and the circle can be easily assembled in each coil.
[0037] In FIG. 4, each magnet and elastic body 24 are connected together and inserted into pipe 23, but it is also possible to operate using only one fourth magnet 10, or to connect one fourth magnet 10 and one pipe 23 together and operate them in a short, fragmented semicircle rather than forming a circle. EXAMPLES
[0038] In Figures 1 and 2(A), the generator 6 is rotated mainly by the attractive forces between the magnets of the generator 6 and the magnets of the rotor 2. However, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, a method will be described in which the magnets of the rotor 2 are faced parallel to the magnets of the generator 6, and further rotation is achieved by applying attractive and repulsive forces from the horizontal direction and repulsive magnetic forces from below.
[0039] Figure 5 is an oblique view showing the structure, in which the rotating body 2 in Figure 1 is moved upward, and the multiple magnets attached to the rotating body 2 are attached to the lower part of the rotating body 2 so that they are parallel to each magnet of the generator 6, using a magnet holding plate 31 so that the magnetic force acts horizontally, as shown in Figure 6. Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 6(A) and 6(B), a plurality of bearings 5 are disposed diagonally below the power generator 6. Other parts and details are omitted as they are the same as those in the first embodiment.
[0040] Figure 6(A) shows the state in which a repulsive force is applied from the sixth magnet 26 from below to the fourth magnet 10 of the power generating body 6 in Figure 5, with a repulsive force being applied from the outer fifth magnet 25 and an attractive force being applied from the inner first magnet 3, and Figure 6(B) is a cross-sectional view of the power generating body 6 in (A) taken along line B-B. 7 is a plan view seen from above, omitting the illustration of the upper rotating body 2 in FIG. 5, and the same arrangement is applied up, down, left, and right around the rotating shaft 7.
[0041] As shown in Figures 6 and 7, the fourth magnet 10 is subjected to a magnetic force attracted by the first magnet 3, and similarly, the third magnet 9 on the right side of the rotating shaft 7 is subjected to a magnetic force attracted by the second magnet 8, and the same thing happens above and below the rotating shaft 7. As in Example 1, a force acts on the entire generator 6 due to the attractive force, which always moves toward the center of the rotating shaft 7, and the forces are balanced, allowing the generator 6 to perform smooth rotational movement within each coil.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 6, when the sixth magnet 26 is gradually brought closer to the fourth magnet 10, the mutual repulsive force causes the power generator 6 to move upward, leave the bearing 5, and become suspended in the air. When the same action as that of the sixth magnet 26 is performed at multiple points on the power generator 6, the entire power generator 6 moves upward and floats in the air, so that it does not come into contact with the bearing 5. This eliminates the gravity of the power generating body 6, and allows it to rotate without coming into contact with multiple coils including the first coil 11.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 7, each magnet in the power generating body 6 receives attractive and repulsive forces from each magnet in the rotating body 2 and moves up and down, left and right, and diagonally, and is usually in contact with one of the bearings 5 on the outside. This is because, as in the first embodiment, the magnetic force of each magnet differs depending on the size and installation position of the magnets, resulting in variation in the respective attractive and repulsive forces. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, there is a small gap between the bearing 5 and the ring 4. In this situation, when the rotor 2 is rotated, part of the generator 6 rotates in contact with the outer bearing 5, and the rotational trajectory does not trace a perfect circle and is not constant.
[0044] For example, in FIG. 7, if the attractive force between the third magnet 9 and the second magnet 8 is stronger than the attractive forces between the other magnets, the third magnet 9 will be attracted to the second magnet 8, and the entire power generator 6 will move to the left until it comes into contact with the left bearing 5. At this time, when the fifth magnet 25 is moved to the right, the repulsive force between the fifth magnet 25 and the fourth magnet 10 increases, causing the entire power generator 6 to move to the right and lose contact with the bearing 5 on the left side.
[0045] If the same adjustment as above is made to the ninth magnet 29 on the right, the tenth magnet 30 on the top, and the eighth magnet 28 on the bottom, the generator 6 will move to the center of the rotating shaft 7 and will be able to rotate without coming into contact with any of the bearings 5. In this way, when a repulsive force is applied to the power generator 6 from below, or an attractive force is applied from above the power generator 6, and attractive and repulsive forces are applied to the left and right sides, the power generator 6 moves in all directions, up and down, left and right, diagonally, etc., and floats in the air, and the power generator 6 can rotate without contacting the bearings 5.
[0046] In FIG. 7, similarly to the first embodiment, the polarity of some or all of the magnets in the rotor 2 may be reversed to apply a repulsive force to the magnets of the generator 6 for operation. In addition, the magnetic force of each magnet may be applied to the power generating body 6 from all directions, such as from above or diagonally, and further, attractive and repulsive forces may be mixed together to operate the power generating body 6 so that it can rotate without contact. EXAMPLES
[0047] Figure 8 shows the right, top, and left sides of the power generating body 6 in Figure 1, and is a plan view in which the multiple coils are not shown and multiple magnets with the same magnetic force as the third magnet 9 and magnets with smaller magnetic force are attached to the entire power generating body 6. Each magnet with a small magnetic force has a polarity that faces and repels the third magnet 9 and the other magnets with the same magnetic force. By installing them in this manner, the power generation efficiency is increased, and other details are the same as in the first embodiment.
[0048] In Figures 6 and 7, multiple magnets including the fifth magnet 25 and sixth magnet 26 on the outside of the power generator 6 are attached to the rotating body 2 by a magnet holding plate 31 and rotate together with the rotating body 2, but as shown in Figure 8, the ninth magnet 29 and the fifth magnet 25 are installed and fixed in multiple places on a fixed base 14, and are arranged on the outer periphery of the power generator 6 so as to apply a magnetic force that repels multiple magnets of the same size as the third magnet 9. 7, a fifth magnet 25 is provided on the outer periphery of the fourth magnet 10 on the opposite left side.
[0049] When the rotor 2 rotates, the power generator 6 having the fourth magnet 10 which receives an attractive force from the first magnet 3 also rotates, and the multiple magnets having the same magnetic force as the first magnet 3 receive a repulsive force from the ninth magnet 29 and fifth magnet 25. On the other hand, each magnet with a magnetic force smaller than that of the third magnet 9 receives an attractive force, but the power generating body 6 as a whole receives a relatively larger repulsive force from the ninth magnet 29, the fifth magnet 25, and the other magnets.
[0050] While the generator 6 is rotating, if the ninth magnet 29 is gradually moved to the left in Figure 8 and approached the third magnet 9, thereby strengthening the magnetic force of each magnet in the generator 6 including the third magnet 9, the generator 6 will move as a whole to the left due to the repulsive force and move away from the bearing 5 on the right side. Similarly, when the fifth magnet 25 on the left side is brought closer to the fourth magnet 10, the power generator 6 tries to move to the right.
[0051] If such changes in magnet movement or magnetic force are performed on other magnets, the generator 6 will gradually move toward the center of the rotating shaft 7 as it rotates, and will become free from all of the bearings 5, allowing it to rotate without contact. This measure also makes it possible to suppress the centrifugal force that tends to spread outward while the power generating body 6 is rotating.
[0052] In addition, magnets with a magnetic force that exerts a repulsive force on the fourth magnet 10 are also installed in multiple locations on the rotational orbit of the generator 6 on the fixed base 14 at the bottom of the generator 6 in Figure 8, and if they are gradually moved upward in the same manner as described above, or the magnetic force is changed and adjusted, when the generator 6 begins to rotate, it will move upward due to the repulsive force of the multiple magnets at the bottom, enter a state of weightlessness, and be supported without contact. Therefore, the gravity of the power generating body 6 becomes small, and even if the magnetic force applied from each magnet of the rotor 2 to each magnet of the power generating body 6 is weak, the power generating body 6 can be moved. This phenomenon also applies to the power generating body 6 of FIG. 7 of the fourth embodiment in which the polarities of the magnets in the power generating body are arranged in the same direction, and the same phenomenon appears.
[0053] As a result, as in Example 1, when the water turbine 20 rotates, the first magnet 3 and the second magnet 8 of the rotating body 2 also rotate, and the generator 6 which receives an attractive force from them can perform a stable circular rotation with a weaker force than in Example 1, always rotating in the same orbit and moving within each coil including the first coil 11 to generate electricity. Furthermore, by adjusting the position and magnetic force of each magnet, including the ninth magnet 29 and the fifth magnet 25, and changing the balance of magnetic forces between the magnets, the orbit of the power generator 6 can be moved in all directions, and the power generator 6 can rotate in a circle on the same orbit without coming into contact with any objects, such as the bearings 5 or the coils.
[0054] In FIG. 8, the ninth magnet 29, tenth magnet 30, etc. exert a repulsive magnetic force on the third magnet 9, etc. inside the power generator 6, but some of the magnets may be reversed to exert an attractive force and operate them, or the ninth magnet 29, etc. may be placed inside the power generator 6 and the second magnet 8 of the rotating body 2 on the outside, and a repulsive force may be exerted from the inside of the power generator 6 and an attractive force may be exerted from the outside, and other details are the same as in Example 1. EXAMPLES
[0055] Next, an embodiment will be described in which power is generated by replacing some or all of the fourth magnet 10, third magnet 9, and multiple magnets attached to the power generating body 6 in Figure 1, and the first magnet 3, second magnet 8, and multiple magnets attached to the rotating body 2 with electromagnets such as the first electromagnet 44 and the second electromagnet 38, and other details are the same as in Example 1.
[0056] Figure 9(A) is an oblique view of the rotating body 2 and second power generating body 47 of Figures 1 and 4, in which the first magnet 3 is changed to a second electromagnet 38 and the fourth magnet 10 is changed to a first electromagnet 44, respectively. Two rails are attached to the outside of the pipe 23 of Figure 4, and the multiple magnets and electromagnets other than the second electromagnet 38 of the rotating body 2, and the multiple coils are not shown. FIG. 9(B) is an enlarged view of the wavy line portion of FIG. 9(A) showing the second power generating body 47 in detail, and shows a plurality of electromagnets, including the first electromagnet 44, and magnets inserted into the pipe 23 of FIG. 4. The illustration of the multiple coils including the first coil 11 as shown in the first embodiment is omitted in FIG. 9, and multiple coils including the first coil 11 are present on the outer periphery of the second power generating body 47.
[0057] An electricity supply stand 33 is attached to the fixed base 14, and a second electricity supply stand 37 is attached to the rotating body 2. Positive and negative electricity are supplied to the second electricity supply stand 37 from a rail 39 attached to the rotating shaft 21, and then supplied to other electromagnets including the second electromagnet 38, so that the second electromagnet 38 obtains magnetic force and becomes a magnet. On the other hand, a first electrical supply plate 40 and a second electrical supply plate 41 extend from the electrical supply stand 33, and supply positive and negative electricity, respectively. The first electrical supply plate 40 is in contact with the first rail 42, and the second electrical supply plate 41 is in contact with the second rail 43.
[0058] In addition, the first rail 42 contacts the beginning 45 of the coil of the first electromagnet 44, while the second rail 43 contacts the end 46 of the coil, and positive and negative electricity are supplied to form the first electromagnet 44. Each electromagnet is formed by winding a coil around a magnetic material, and by changing the polarity of the positive and negative electricity applied to the beginning 45 and end 46 of the coil, the polarity of the north and south poles of each electromagnet also changes.
[0059] As shown in FIG. 9(B), a plurality of magnets are provided inside the pipe 23, but some or all of these are changed to a plurality of electromagnets which are connected together to form a circle, forming a second power generating body 47. Similarly, the rotor 2 also has a plurality of magnets, as in FIG. 1, but some or all of them are changed to electromagnets such as the second electromagnet 38. Other parts and contents are the same as those in FIG. 1 of the first embodiment, so the description will be omitted.
[0060] Electricity is supplied to the two power supply stands from the outside, and the second electromagnet 38 in the rotating body 2 and the first electromagnet 44 in the second power generating body 47 as well as a plurality of other electromagnets are operated. When the second electromagnet 38 of the rotating body 2 and other magnets or electromagnets are brought close to this first electromagnet 44 to apply an attractive or repulsive force and rotate the rotating body 2, the second power generating body 47 rotates as in Example 1 and moves within multiple coils including the first coil 11 to generate power.
[0061] Each electromagnet is formed by winding a coil around a magnetic body, and the magnetic body forming each electromagnet is desirably made of a material such as soft iron, ferrite, or cobalt. Furthermore, the cross section of each electromagnet and coil is circular, but may be elliptical, rectangular, or polygonal. EXAMPLES
[0062] Next, a method of disposing a bearing 5 below the rotor 2 and supporting the weight of the rotor 2 with the bearing 5 to reduce the load when the rotor 2 rotates will be described. FIG. 10(A) is a diagram showing a state in which a bearing 5 is in contact with the lower outer surface of the rotor 2 in FIG. 2 and the rotor 2 is rotating in contact with the bearing 5. FIG. The other bearings 5 are similarly arranged radially on the lower outside of the rotating body 2 , so that the rotating body 2 is always supported by the bearings 5 while rotating. This reduces the weight of the rotor 2 in contact with the rotary shaft 7, which has the advantage of reducing the rotational force. Other details are the same as in the first embodiment. EXAMPLES
[0063] Next, a method of disposing a magnet under the rotor 2 instead of the bearing 5 and supporting the weight of the rotor 2 with the magnet to reduce the load on the rotor 2 when it rotates will be described. Figure 10(B) is an oblique view showing a plurality of magnets arranged radially on the upper and lower exterior of the rotor 2, centered on the rotation axis 7 of the rotor 2, instead of the bearing 5 in Figure 10(A), and further arranged in parallel to a plurality of magnets including the first magnet 3 attached to the rotor 2, showing the first magnet 3 and the 12th magnet 48 and 13th magnet 53 portions attached to the frame 52.
[0064] As shown in FIG. 10(B), the 12th magnet 48 is set to have a polarity that repels the first magnet 3, and the 13th magnet 53 is set to have a polarity that exerts an attractive force on the first magnet 3. These magnets are then placed on a stand 52 and attached to a fixed base 14. When the rotating body 2 rotates, the magnets including the first magnet 3 attached to the rotating body 2 receive a repulsive force from the twelfth magnet 48, and are pushed upward without contact.
[0065] Furthermore, if multiple magnets including the twelfth magnet 48 are arranged radially around the rotating shaft 7 on the bottom of the rotating body 2, and further arranged with the same polarity in the direction of rotation, the multiple magnets of the rotating body 2 will always receive a repulsive magnetic force from below, which is the same as if the multiple magnets including the twelfth magnet 48 were to bear and support the weight of the rotating body 2. As a result, the weight of the outside of the rotor 2 applied to the rotating shaft 7 is reduced, and the force required to rotate the rotor 2 is reduced.
[0066] Similarly, when multiple magnets including the 13th magnet 53 are arranged radially and with the same pole in the direction of rotation and the rotating body 2 is rotated, the rotating body 2 is constantly attracted by a magnetic force from above without contact, which is the same as the multiple magnets including the 13th magnet 53 attracting the weight of the rotating body 2 and pulling it upward. As a result, the weight of the rotor 2 applied to the rotating shaft 7 is reduced, and the force required to rotate the rotor 2 is reduced. This makes it possible to move the rotating body 2 in the first to seventh embodiments by changing the magnetic force of the twelfth magnet 48 or the thirteenth magnet 53. EXAMPLES
[0067] The magnetic field lines 50 of each magnet including the fourth magnet 10 shown in each embodiment so far are represented as in Reference 2 and FIG. 11, and extend from the N pole of the fourth magnet 10 to the S pole. When the fourth magnet 10 moves within the first coil 11 in the direction of the arrow 51 in Figures 11 and 12, the magnetic field lines 50 intersect with the wires of the first coil 11 at right angles and generate electricity in the moving part, so that electricity is generated mainly in the part of the ellipse 49, which exists on the left and right sides of the fourth magnet 10.
[0068] Therefore, when the fourth magnet 10 moves within the first coil 11, the power generation situation at position A from the right end of the first coil 11 is as shown in Figure 12, where an induced current flows in the first coil 11 due to magnetic field lines 50 from the N pole, and power generation is generated in front of the fourth magnet 10. As a result, as in Document 2, the left end of the fourth magnet 10 generates electricity before it enters the first coil 11, and also generates electricity while the right end of the fourth magnet 10 is passing through the first coil 11.
[0069] As shown in Figure 13, when the first coil 11 is lengthened so that the entire fourth magnet 10 is contained within the first coil 11, the power generation situation at position B from the left end of the first coil 11 will be similar to that in Figure 12, with magnetic field lines 50 from the N pole causing an induced current to flow in the first coil 11 on the left side of the first coil 11, while on the right side of the first coil 11, magnetic field lines 50 from the S pole cause an induced current to flow in the opposite direction to the induced current generated at the N pole. Therefore, the two currents are generated in the opposite directions within the first coil 11 and cancel each other out, so that no induced current flows and no power is generated until the left side of the fourth magnet 10 leaves the first coil 11.
[0070] The same phenomenon occurs even if the direction of movement arrow 51 changes to the right and the fourth magnet 10 moves from left to right; if the coil width is longer than the length of the magnet moving within the coil and both ends of the magnet are moving within the coil, no power is generated.
[0071] Also, in Figure 12, if the length of the fourth magnet 10 is made longer, electricity is generated at both ends of the fourth magnet 10, but while the middle part of the fourth magnet 10 is moving within the first coil 11, an area appears where no electricity is generated. Therefore, there is a certain relationship between the coil width and the magnet length, and experimental results have shown that the optimum coil width is 80 to 100% of the magnet length, with power generation occurring within the range of 50% to 130% being the effective dimensions. EXAMPLES
[0072] 12 and 13, when the fourth magnet 10 moves inside the first coil 11, a magnetic field is generated in the first coil 11, and the fourth magnet 10 obtains an attractive or repulsive magnetic force from the entire inside area of the first coil 11. When the fourth magnet 10 receives a repulsive force from the first coil 11, the fourth magnet 10 moves to the center of the first coil 11 as shown in FIG. 15(A) and is no longer in contact with the first coil 11.
[0073] On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15(B), when the fourth magnet 10 receives an attractive force from the first coil 11, the fourth magnet 10 is attracted from the entire inner area of the first coil 11, so that the fourth magnet 10 tends to remain in the center of the first coil 11 and is not in contact with the first coil 11. This phenomenon becomes more pronounced as the amount of electricity generated by the first coil 11 increases and the magnetic field becomes stronger; therefore, when a generator having the fourth magnet 10 and other magnets rotates at high speed within a number of coils, including the first coil 11, and the amount of electricity generated in each coil increases, the generator is able to rotate without contacting each coil.
[0074] In the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the rotor 2 is enlarged and multiple power generators and coils are arranged around the outer periphery of the power generator 6. Furthermore, the rotor 2 and power generators having a similar structure are formed on the lower stage of the rotating shaft 7, making a multi-stage structure, which makes it possible to obtain a large amount of power generation with one rotation of the rotating shaft 7 (not shown).
[0075] Furthermore, if a bevel gear is also attached to the lower end of the rotating shaft 7 in FIG. 1 and a water wheel 20 is connected, the torque of the rotor 2 is doubled, making it possible to obtain an even greater amount of power generation. If a different rotating device or motor that uses other natural energy to rotate, such as a windmill or wave power generation mechanism, is connected to the rotating shaft 7 instead of the waterwheel 20, it is possible to generate electricity in the same way as the waterwheel 20.
[0076] In the generator of this invention, each magnet uses a neodymium magnet, but since the generated power increases as the magnetic force of the magnet moving inside the coil increases, if a magnet with a stronger magnetic force than neodymium magnets is available, it may be used. In this way, the generated power varies depending on the strength of the magnet's magnetic force, the number of turns in the coil, the thickness of the coil wire, the speed and rotation speed of the wire moving inside the coil, and since it is necessary to balance the interrelationships of these factors, the value must be determined through experimentation.
[0077] In the generator of the present invention, the induced current from each coil is rectified by an individual bridge diode 34, as shown in FIG. 14. However, as in Reference 2, each coil may be connected in series and the bridge diode 34 may be omitted. In this case, it is necessary that the position of each magnet in the power generating unit coincides with the position of each coil, and that the power generation start time and power generation end time of each coil always coincide.
[0078] Thus, in this proposal, there are several possible methods for rotating each generator, which utilize the attractive or repulsive forces between the magnets. By changing the polarity of each magnet attached to the rotating body 2 and changing the angle of the magnetic force relative to the generator, such as up, down, left, right, diagonally, or perpendicular, the strength of the magnetic force can be changed from any angle, and by applying a magnetic field from all directions, it is possible to move the generator. It is also possible to levitate the generator in the air, allowing it to rotate smoothly without contact.
[0079] The power generating body 6 in FIG. 1 is divided into a plurality of parts, each of which is connected by a plurality of circular rings 4, and has a fourth magnet 10 so that it can rotate within the coil. Figure 16 shows the details of the generator 6, in which a fourth magnet 10 is fixed to a ring 4 and a protrusion 56 of another ring 4 is inserted into a hole 57 of the ring 4 to connect multiple rings 4 and form a circle.
[0080] In FIG. 16, the rings 4 are connected by projections 56 and holes 57, but they may be connected by a recessed and protruding engagement or by screws. Alternatively, both ends may be joined with an adhesive, a pressure sensitive adhesive, a welding agent, or the like. [Explanation of symbols]
