Abstract:
An improved magnetic generator has been developed that is particularly suitable for creating modular micro wind turbines, although other power generation applications are contemplated. The generator utilizes a series of rotors with axially aligned magnets on each side of the rotor face. As a drive shaft rotates the rotors in proximity to stators, a magnetic flux and electricity is generated. In certain embodiments, the rotors utilize magnet pockets to stabilize the magnets. In the preferred embodiments, layers of magnets are placed in each magnet pocket to achieve magnetic amplification by having multiple magnets, and their respective fluxes, influence the stators.
