A first input coil and a first output coil extend around portions of the first magnetic path, while ‘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 curteat pulses in the ‘output coils. Driving electrical current through each of the input coils reduces 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, he 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 eause the induc- tion of current within the output coils 29 Claims, § Drawing Sheets vies [ee] \ US 6,362,718 B1 Sheet 1 of 5 Mar. 26, 2002 U.S. Patent £ OY > f OW 5 aaArda—,0 iS of a 29 8s doud-dl q uaAlua D 9S \ Ge A 09 95 os—| youvTai9so 0uN0s “Y ol YaMOd = -—~ee 68 06 26 72 ZI vo JWNUILXG ; — te LINDY a abla ONY aad ONY ONIHOLIMS UaL4ILO3u UaLdLO3Y ANY ONISN3S T | 934} f 7 [at \ jp oF {ovol, ve bs i 0z og a at 8z“41 4indulo TOLNOD ANY | “92 ONTHOLINS U.S. Patent Mar. 26, 2002 sR ow eB ow eos 668 OUTPUT POWER, WATTS Sheet 2 of 5 US 6,362,718 BL OSCILLATOR | —70 n~ 74. 78 82 V Q >| ONE-SHOT DRIVER Ni FLIP-FLOP Fe BO, a ONE-SHOT FIG. 4 86 PL 88 FIG. 5 122. 120.

Field of Invention ‘This invention relates to a magnetic generator used 10 produce electrical power without moving parts, and, more particularly, to such a device having a capability, when ‘operating, of producing electrical power without an external application of input power through input coils. 2. Description of the Related Art ‘The patent literature describes a number of magnetic generators, each of which includes a permanent magnet, {wo ‘magnetic paths external to the permanent magnet, each of ‘which extends between the opposite poles of the permanent ‘magnet, switching means for causing magnetic Mux to flow alternately along each of the two magnetic paths, and one or more output coils in which current is induced to flow by means of changes in the magnetic field within the device ‘These devices operate in accordance with an extension of Faraday’s Law, indicating that an electrical current is induced within'a conductor within a changing magnetic ficld, even if the source of the magnetic field is stationary. ‘A method for switching magnetic flux to flow predomi- nantly along either of two magnetic paths between opposite poles of a permanent magnet is deseribed as a“flux teansfee™ principle by R. J. Radus in Engineer’s Digest, Jul. 23, 1963, ‘This principle is used to exert a powerful magnetic force at ‘one end of both the north and south poles and a very low force at the other end, without being used in the construction ‘of @ magnetic generator. This effect can be caused ‘mechanically, by keeper movement, or electrically, by driv- ing electrical current through one of more conteol windings ‘extending around elongated versions of the pole pieces 14. Several devices using this effect are described in US, Pat. Nos. 3,165,723, 3,228,013, and 3,316,514, which are incor- porated herein by reference, ‘Another step toward the development of a magnetic generator is described in U.S, Pat. No. 3,368,141, which is incorporated herein by reference, as a device including a permanent magnet in combination with a transformer having first and second windings about a core, with two paths for magnetic ux leading from each pole of the permanent ‘magnet to either end of the core, so that, when an alternating ‘curtent induces magnetic flux dicection changes in the core, the magnetic ux from the permanent magnet is automati cally directed through the path which corresponds with the
