20110044078 | METHOD FOR CONVERTING DIRECT CURRENT TO ALTERNATING CURRENT - A direct current to alternating current inverter is described herein. In an embodiment of the present subject matter, various direct voltage electrical potentials are applied to rings of a rotor so that each ring of the rotor is a different direct current potential. Preferably, the direct current potentials are applied in a manner so that the potential increases or decreases from a center ring to an outer ring, or vice versa. A stator has brush assembly having a series of brushes. Each brush is physically connected to a ring in such a way that the brush picks up the voltage. As a motor spins the rotor, the voltages picked up by the static brush assembly increase in positive potential, then decrease in positive potential, then increase in negative potential, and then finally decrease in negative potential, generating an alternating current. | 02-24-2011 |
