The present invention relates to a
magnet-based, double-magnetic-circuit, magnetic-pressure and resonant-excitation generator
transformer. It comprises a
magnet (1) the two opposing poles (2) (3) of which are connected to one another by a magnetic bridge. A second
magnet (31) is mounted in parallel with the first magnet (1). Two magnet poles (2) (32) are connected to the same external pole (6) of the magnetic bridge. Two other magnet poles (3) (33) are connected to the same external pole (7) of the magnetic bridge. The invention comprises four electromagnets (13) acting as a reversible magnetic
diode. The magnetic bridge comprises a common
magnetic core (9), a primary
magnetic circuit. The common
magnetic core (9) connects the two internal poles (8) of the primary
magnetic circuit to one another. The magnetic bridge and the four electromagnets (13) together form a reversible magnetic
diode bridge that makes it possible to convert a continuous
magnetic flux into a variable
magnetic flux. The excitation solenoid (12) and the power solenoid (11) are wound around the common
magnetic core (9). These two solenoids are placed inside the secondary
magnetic circuit (30). When the cores of the four electromagnets (13) and the core of the excitation solenoid (12) are polarized in a specific way, the excitation flux (15) (20) and the magnet flux (14) circulate together, in one direction, through the common magnetic core (9). When this polarization is reversed, the excitation flux (15) (20) and the magnet flux (14) circulate together, in the opposite direction, through the common magnetic core (9). The alternating and continuous reversal of the direction of circulation of the excitation flux (15) (20) reinforced by a magnet flux (14) creates a variable
magnetic flux that circulates in the common magnetic core. This induction flux, reinforced by a magnet flux, increases the power developed at the power solenoid (11). Mounting a plurality of magnets in parallel makes it possible to create a
magnetic pressure at the magnetic bridge and reinforce the variation of the flux. The use of a resonant excitation circuit makes it possible to compensate for the high
inductance of the electromagnets. The present invention makes it possible to significantly increase the efficiency of a
transformer. It may be used by any industry requiring electrical energy, including the
electronics industry, the
automotive industry and the
aeronautical industry. A 100 kW
transformer would measure 20x20x30 cm.
