An electromagnetic turbine without moving parts includes a magnetic core with three magnetic paths and magnetic connectors arranged between the three paths forming two adjacent closed magnetic loops. Three coils extend individually around portions of each magnetic path. The three coils are electrically pulsed to provide current pulses in the coils. Driving electrical current through each of the coils in sequence results in a flow of magnetic flux external to the magnetic core. The sequence is arranged to create a continuous one-way flow of magnetic flux through the inside of the core, then out one end where the flux extends outward and sweeps external to the core to the opposite end of the core where the flux collapses into the core. The sweeping magnetic flux induces electrical currents into electrically conductive material external to and not part of the turbine. Magnetic flux from the external currents interacts with the sweeping flux, resulting in a net force. The force either absorbs energy from relative deceleration of external material, converting the deceleration to electrical energy; or electrical energy provides relative acceleration of external material, converting the electrical energy to acceleration. |

A bobbin is adapted to support a winding on a permeable core and has a wall that provides a confined thermally conductive channel that causes conduction of heat along a predetermined path from the core to a location outside the winding. A value of magnetizing inductance in a transformer is set by adjusting the gap until the value of magnetizing inductance has been set and attaching a segment of the bobbin to a pair of core pieces to maintain the gap. A permeable slug provides a permeable path outside of the hollow interior space and does not couple the winding, and an electrically insulating coupler is interposed between the slug and the winding to electrically insulate the winding. |

An inductor with multiple air-gap separations comprises a magnetic core and an enameled wire around the magnetic core. The magnetic core has an air gap with at least a large-gap portion and a small-gap portion. The small-gap portion provides enough inductance in case of low load input to prevent harmonic distortion. The large-gap portion provides enough inductance in case of heavy load output and low input voltage to prevent saturation and temperature rise, thus enhancing power efficiency. |

A high-leakage planar magnetic component such as an inductor, having a winding structure in which flat winding turns are oriented transverse to the plane of the winding structure, exhibits significantly lower winding losses than components having a stacked arrangement of flat winding turns parallel to the plane of the winding structure. A dense winding structure having such a transverse orientation can readily be made by forming a flat conductor into a coil using conventional wire winding techniques. |

This invention relates to methods of providing uninterruptible, regulated, single phase power to a critical single phase load when such power is derived from two of the phases of a polyphase power source. This invention describes a dual primary ferroresonant transformer which provides regulated and isolated voltage to a single phase critical load, when powered by a plurality of phases from a polyphase power source, and whereby a loss of electrical power to either a first or a second primary does not disturb the single phase power output voltage. |

A trip device comprises at least one current transformer for supplying power to electronic circuits. The current transformer comprises a magnetic circuit, surrounding a primary conductor, a secondary winding wound onto a part of the magnetic circuit forming a core, and a magnetic shunt branch connected on the magnetic core. The magnetic shunt comprises an air-gap. When the current flowing in the primary conductor is of low value, the magnetic flux stopped by the air-gap flows essentially via the core of the secondary winding. At high current levels the induction is greater and a large part of the magnetic flux passes through the shunt via the air-gap. The current transformer has a non-linear current response which limits excess power supplied to the electronic circuits and dissipated in the transformer. The trip device is useful, for example, in a circuit breaker. |

In a converter which is usable as a kind of DC--DC converter and which comprises a transformer for processing an exciting current into an excited current under influence of an inductance value of the transformer, the inductance value is controlled in compliance with a value of the exciting current. The exciting current is controlled by a current control circuit with reference to the excited current so that exciting current is intermittently supplied to the transformer. While the exciting current is absent during intermittent supply to the transformer, the transformer produces the excited current. |

Sandor Goldner |
A shell-form transformer for charging an energy storage device contained in a battery powered impact device. The primary and secondary windings of the transformer are wound in a predetermined manner around the center leg of a core which has an air gap therein. The gap increases the reluctance of the center leg which decreases the flow of magnetic flux through the core which, in turn, enables the current applied to the transformer primary to be increased without causing the core to be saturated. As a result, the current applied to the transformer primary can be increased, thereby increasing the output voltage supplied from the transformer secondary which, in turn, enables rapid charging of the energy storage device. |
