20110285235 | Electro Magnetic Pulse Motor/Generator - An apparatus and method of providing output power from electrical pulse current in a highly efficient configuration. The input pulse current passes through a series of configured and wound input coils specifically positioned in an alternating manner in respect to wound and “tapped” output coils. Current is induced in the output coils in a highly efficient manner and can be output from the apparatus at each layer of winding, reducing resistance to induction. In an embodiment, the apparatus comprises a “power wheel”, a plurality of magnetic nodes spaced evenly over the outer circumference of said power wheel, each of said magnetic nodes having the same magnetic polarity facing radially outward from the center of said power wheel; an electro-magnetic generator, which electromagnetically causes said power wheel to rotate, with alternating layered windings of input coils and output coils such that said output coils are “tapped” at each layer of winding; and a means for switching, in which rotation of said power wheel causes pulse current to be applied to said input coils. | 11-24-2011 |
