Magvortechs DC Generators Designs researched by Bryan Strohm
Magvortechs LLC was founded in 2002 to continue the development and begin the manufacturing of DC Electric Generators based on Mr. Bryan Strohm’s designs. For 20 years Mr. Bryan Strohm has studied the history of DC Generators with a focus on homopolar and unipolar designs. The DC generator designs represented in Mr. Bryan Strohm’s 2003 patent (U. S. patent# 6603233) is the culmination of his research. These DC generator designs have significant improvements in primary-secondary field alignment which has powerful parallels in the natural world. Magvortechs DC generator designs have no coils or windings, enabling much simpler construction techniques.
DC Generators Design and Electricity Production by Electromagnetic Induction
DC generators are widely used to produce a DC voltage. The amount of voltage produced depends on a variety of factors.
Voltage Production Recall from Module 3, DC Circuits, that there are three conditions necessary to induce a voltage into a conductor. 1. A magnetic field 2. A conductor 3. Relative motion between the two A DC generator provides these three conditions to produce a DC voltage output. Theory of Operation A basic DC generator has four basic parts: (1) a magnetic field; (2) a single conductor, or loop; (3) a commutator; and (4) brushes (Figure 3). The magnetic field may be supplied by either a permanent magnet or an electromagnet. For now, we will use a permanent magnet to describe a basic DC generator.
An electrical Generator is a machine which converts mechanical energy (or power) into electrical energy (or power).
Principle :It is based on the principle of production of dynamically (or motionally) induced e.m.f (Electromotive Force). Whenever a conductor cuts magnetic flux, dynamically induced e.m.f. is produced in it according to Faraday’s Laws of Electromagnetic Induction. This e.m.f. causes a current to flow if the conductor circuit is closed.
Hence, the basic essential parts of an electric generator are :A magnetic field and A conductor or conductors which can so move as to cut the flux. So as you can see there lies a simple generator with a field, coil and relative motion between them. So from faraday’s laws of E.M.I we can say that the coil(loop) would house an E.M.F.
