Solution Overview

Problem

Existing power generators with a single permanent magnet and electromagnet struggle to efficiently change magnetic force for optimal power generation, limiting their efficiency.

Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single permanent magnet member and a single electromotive coil member are arranged concentrically, then the structure is simple, but the magnetic force cannot be changed efficiently to improve power generation

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovestructureVSAvoidpower generation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The single permanent magnet member is divided into two separate permanent magnet members (first and second permanent magnet members) arranged concentrically. This segmentation allows independent control of each magnet member's rotation, enabling flexible adjustment of magnetic force characteristics to improve power generation efficiency while maintaining structural simplicity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic control by enabling independent rotation of the first and second permanent magnet members. By controlling the rotation speeds and directions of each magnet member separately, the magnetic force acting on the electromotive coil can be dynamically adjusted, allowing optimization of power generation under different operating conditions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If an electromagnet is added separately from the permanent magnet to change magnetic force, then the magnetic force can be adjusted, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemagnetic force adjustmentVSAvoidstructure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The two permanent magnet members serve multiple functions: they generate the primary magnetic field, enable magnetic force adjustment through differential rotation, and provide structural support. This multi-functionality eliminates the need for separate electromagnets while achieving magnetic force control, thereby avoiding increased device complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses the permanent magnet members themselves to perform the magnetic force adjustment function that would otherwise require a separate electromagnet. By rotating the permanent magnet members at different speeds and directions, the system self-regulates the magnetic force without needing additional active components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

The present invention provides a power generator which can obtain efficient power generation by changing magnetic force acting on electromotive coils. The power generator is provided with a first permanent magnet member 1, a second permanent magnet member 2, and an electromotive coil member 3 arranged concentrically to have a telescoping structure and is configured so that power generation in the electromotive coil member 3 is induced by rotating the first permanent magnet member 1 or/and the second permanent magnet member 2. In the power generator, the first and second permanent magnet members 1 and 2 cooperate with each other to change the magnetic force and, thus, to obtain efficient power generation.
