20140346992 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ENERGY - A method and apparatus for generating electrical energy comprises driven permanent magnets mounted tangentially on a freely rotating disk attached to a relatively stationary platform, and driver permanent magnets mounted on the platform radially to the disk. As the disk rotates, as a driven magnet approaches a driver magnet, their respective opposite poles attract, accelerating the disk. After the driven magnet passes the driver magnet, their like poles repel, also accelerating the disk. When the two permanent magnets are in close proximity, such that repulsion between like poles would decelerate the disk, an electromagnet is engaged between the two permanent to counteract this counterproductive force. One or more coils generate electricity through electromagnetic induction when the driven magnet passes them. A portion of this electricity powers the electromagnet, and the balance is the net energy generated. | 11-27-2014 |
