BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to electric generators and the generation of electricity from same; along with a plurality of novel embodiments and applications utilizing these features of novelty. The evolution of electric generators since the inception of Galvani and later Faraday in 1821 and in 1831; has progressed along the conventional knowledge of moving a coil through a stationary magnetic field or in some demonstrable instances, the motion of a magnet through a stationary coil. However the dominating influence of generators incorporating an internal moving coil about a stationary magnetic field remains the mainstay of global electrical power generation on any scale. Further, in all cases of a magnet in motion about a stationary coil, the shape of said magnet(s) is of the bar, horseshoe, or other non-spherical magnet shape means; nor a magnetic shape means of encompassing a 360 degree circle as part and parcel to said magnet(s). This is true even after the infusion of so many patents of prior art credited to Thomas Edison, Nicola Tesla and historically a multitude of others contributing prior art patents granted.

a°(b×c) eq. 2
This referring to FIG. 14 graph 1G.
The value of the triple product is equal to the volume of the parallelepiped constructed from the vectors.
volume=abc·sin(θ)cos(φ) eq. 3
a°(b×c)=a|b×c|cos(φ)=abc·sin(θ)cos(φ) eq. 4
- This referring to FIG. 14 graph 2G
The triple product has the following properties
a°(b×c)=(b×c)°a eq. 5
a°(b×c)=c°(a×b)=b°(c×a) eq. 6
a°(b×c)=−a°(c×b) eq. 7 - Further where a is the coil wire direction vector, b is the Gaussian Surface magnetic field vector, and C is the vertical position of said Gaussian Surface magnet compared to its deviation from the center of said coil, i.e. either dead center and level with coil surface plane, coil-centered axis but left angular tilt from coil surface, or coil-centered axis but right angular tilt from coil surface.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
With reference to FIG. 1 there is shown an embodiment 100 of a “stationary coil” electrical generator 101 in communication with a “centred axle” magnet 102, and also in communication with at least one or a plurality of focus magnets 104“all” combined 325 electromechanically and utilized as a power source means 101 & 102 for an electrical power load 105 in the form of a ISM band transceiver 105 for the purpose of powering momentarily, said transceiver 105 to emit electromagnetic waves of radio frequencies that are modulated with a digital code sequence but not limited to utilization as a power source for an electrical power load in the form of a ISM band transceiver and further can 330 be utilized for a plurality of power source applications means.
With reference to FIG. 1A there is shown the same, but enhanced with enclosure 108 embodiment 100A with a protective enclosure 108. Power connexion leads 106 are connected to said power load 105 and with this embodiment said power load 105 is said ISM band transceiver 105 with attached antennas 107.
With reference to FIG. 2 a coil form 101 with its output power leads 106 are electrically connected and in communication with said power load 105, which in this illustrated embodiment is an ISM band radio transceiver 105 with associated antenna 107C. A spherical “centred axle” magnet 102 with axles for rotation 103 is positioned and in communication with the centre of said coil form 101. Said axial spherical “centred axle” magnet 102 is magnetized with its North and South magnetic poles perpendicular to its axle of rotation 103, and is at right angles to the coil-wire turns and parallel to the tangent of said coil-wire turns. The magnetic field lines emanating from the North magnetic pole and entering the South magnetic pole of said spherical magnet 102 will therefore be at right angles to said coil-wire sections that are parallel to said spherical magnet axle 103. Upon rotation of said spherical magnet means 102 about its axle 103, said magnetic field (visually assumed and not illustrated) lines cut through said coil form 101 and induces an electromotive force felt at the output leads 106. Said induced electromotive force is varying in intensity and polarity, thus generating an alternating electrical current utilized as a power source. In order to increase the amount of power produced by this action, a focus magnet 104 or a plurality of focus magnets 104 are positioned and in communication with said spherical “centred axle” magnet 102. Positioning of said focus magnets 104 are such that said focus magnet(s) 104 remain stationary with the South magnetic and North magnetic poles field lines that are aligned “inline parallel” to and in communication with said spherical magnet 102 field lines. This embodiment of the present invention allows for the action of concentration of said spherical magnet fields lines per unit square (area) so that more field lines cut through a coil-wire section thus producing more induced electromotive force (power). The amount of induced electromotive force is directly proportional to the number of lines per unit square (area).
In FIG. 3 said coil-wire form with a Topological “genus of one” means is shown in an exploded view to further explain away the mounting of said spherical magnet 102 with its axle 103 that is in communication with recessed molded spherical magnet inset well 109 and cavity opening 110. Said axle 103 is mounted into a support well 111 that allows for a smooth movement of said axle 103 in the process of spherical magnet 102 rotation. Said rotation is further enhanced, for a minimum frictional mechanical impedance, by a plurality of unitized molded “standoff bearings” 112. The overall recessed molded spherical magnet inset well 109, is at coil-wire form 101 centre. Said position of spherical magnet is positioned and recessed midway in coil-wire form but is not limited to any alternative position arrangement method means.

Connexion to said power line means is by plug terminals 202 that are in communication with a female AC power line receptacle means. Said plug terminal base 201 that is in communication with plugs 202 can be removed and replaced with various plug terminals to fit foreign AC receptacles. Any AC load such as lights, motors, fans, or any reasonable AC load is plugged into and in communication with AC receptacle inserts 203. Said AC load that is plugged into and in communication with said receptacle 203 is then under the influence of electrical switching and dimming control of said receiver and electronic switching and dimming circuitry (not shown, but internal to enclosure 200) is in communication with said AC load to cause on/off switching and dimming of AC electrical power to load. Said wireless receiver 200WR receives its control command function from a remote battery-less and wireless transmitter 100A shown in FIG. 2. The action causing load control is by rotating any featured method means of;
said all magnetic rare earth (neodymium) spherical magnet 102, hybrid spherical magnet of non-magnetic material non-metal (polymer) sphere means 116 and insert cylinder magnet 117 combination in common communication with all, or

An illustration of FIG. 13 shows a typical intrinsic magnetic field embodiment 102mf surrounding a spherical permanent magnet 102. Said magnetic lines of force extend outward from the North magnetic pole and enter the South magnetic pole, whereby said magnetic field lines are concentrated at the pole volume 102R. Magnetic field lines of a cylinder magnet will have a similar magnetic line pole path and should be obvious to anyone steeped in the arts that field concentration is greatest at the magnetic poles of any magnet.
FIG. 14 shows a magnetic field embodiment of a spherical permanent magnet 102 that is under the magnetic influence of an external cylindrical focus magnet 104. It should be obvious to anyone steeped in the arts that magnetic field intensity of influence varies to the inverse square of the distance from the magnetic pole in question. At the south pole of said spherical magnet 102 the field concentration 102R is intrinsic. At the opposite pole of spherical magnet 102 a cylinder magnet 104 is placed in close proximity of said spherical magnet 102 and is in commutative magnetic attractive pole communication. The action of placing a focus magnet 104 in close proximity to said spherical magnet 102 is to increase the number of magnetic field lines per unit area about a magnetic pole in question. As magnetic field lines (a.k.a. flux lines or flux) are increased, the amount of induced voltage in said coil-wire form 101 in FIG. 2 will increase as said spherical magnet 102 is rotated.
Another embodiment of said present invention as shown in FIG. 15 is for a flat (12 mm thick) wall type battery-less and wireless switch transmitter means 300 with a smooth wall or carry about enclosure 301 an having a rocker type flip mechanism means for switching on and off a remote AC electrical load such as a lighting fixture, but not limited to a lighting fixture.
Another embodiment in FIG. 16 is a detailed multi-view of a rocker-rotator method means 302 in communication with its extruded planar perpendicular axle 304 that is in communication with and utilizes a soft and flexible polymer flip finger method means 303, 303B, and 303F to initiate and promote rotation of a spherical magnet method means 102 about its centred axle 103 axis. Said flexible flip finger base 303 is in communication with bending notch 303B and flip finger 303F and upon an operator pushing (pressing) said rocker method means 302 and its consequent flip movement about its axle 304 axis, said flip finger 303F that is in communication with spherical magnet 102 will cause a reaction to spherical magnet and initiate rotation of said spherical magnet in a cyclical direction opposite to the push force direction applied to said rocker 302; likewise the converse action takes place with the opposite side of said rocker 302 is pushed. After said flip finger 303F ends mechanical communication with said spherical magnet 102, said spherical magnet is free to spin for a goodly number of cycles before ceasing rotation due to natural damping frictional forces. This action of said present invention produces enough power from a single flip to generate a voltage level sufficient for several seconds; ample time to power a micro transmitter and send a large amount of encoded digital data to a remote receiver that decodes said data received.

Another embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 29 illustrates two different battery-less, powered by said energy harvesting generators 500 of ISM ENIGMA, LLC., and International ISM Band wireless electrical remote power switch with said dimming features. Model 501 is of the configuration model having an indicator LED 503, a flip tab control means 504, a dimmer potentiometer 506 with grey scale level graph 505. Wherein as flip tab 504 is moved by a consumer in either an up or down flipping motion, said indicator LED 503 blinks momentarily indicating that the unit is generating power for its internal ISM Band transmitter that has a single frequency of a possible plurality of designated approved and licensed ISM Band of frequencies for International operation; and dim level that has been set is sent along with a permanent key code that is instantly established upon an initial flip tab 504 operation. A designated receiver with same key code and frequency receives said ON/OFF information and fixed dime level established by the setting of the transmitter potentiometer, and further said receiver is electrically connected in series with an electrical load such as a lighting fixture, but not limited to a lighting fixture; in general any electrical load within said receiver's power load capabilities that can be a plurality of levels dependent on model type. Model 502 is of the configuration model having an indicator LED 503, a flip tab control means 504, and a slide switch 507 that allows an ON/OFF position and a dimming position. When said slide switch 507 is in the ON/OFF position, said flip tab 504 is moved by a consumer in either an up or down flipping motion, said indicator LED 503 blinks momentarily indicating that the unit is generating power for its internal ISM Band transmitter that has a single frequency of a possible plurality of designated approved and licensed ISM Band of frequencies for International operation; and a permanent key code is instantly established upon an initial flip tab 504 operation and transmitted. A designated receiver with same key code and frequency is electrically connected in series with an electrical load such as a lighting fixture, but not limited to a lighting fixture; in general any electrical load within said receiver's power load capabilities that can be a plurality of levels dependent on model type. After a light or any designated electrically connected load is turned on, if said slide switch 507 is moved into its Auto Dim mode position another flick of said flip tab 504 send a different code via the same single transmitter and frequency to said designated receiver where an auto dimming feature is triggered into operation. Said dimming feature now, is of the type that allows for a continuous slow oscillating of the brightness or power level to increase and decrease periodically, thus giving a consumer time to decide what level is suited for the occasion. Once a level is decided, another flick of said tab cause the dim level to be memorized and constant in said decided level of power or brightness. Any future dimming choices can be made by a consumer simply be re-flicking said flip tab 504 and observing the slow undulations of brightness levels for a new choice of dimming level.
Another embodiment of the present invention in FIG. 30 illustrates a method means for utilizing said energy harvesting generator of said present invention and in conjunction with another embodiment of an ISM ENIGMA battery-less and wireless electrical switch. FIG. 30 shows a motor 601 driven circular array 603 of a plurality of disk type, but not limited to disk type, magnets 605 disposed on a disk 603 that is connected by an axle 604 to a rotating motor 601 contained in a motor support means 602. Said disk type, but not limited to disk type, magnets 605 are arranged in a manner so as to allow their corresponding magnetic fields (not illustrated but implied) to be aligned as a North to South pole configuration means that disposes them with an adjacent face up opposite pole alignment.
A further corresponding embodiment shown in FIG. 31 illustrates an operation of positioning an ISM ENIGMA battery-less remote switch 606 in close proximity to said disk type magnet 605 array disposed on circular array plate 603, whereby as said motor 601 is rotating and consequently as said circular array plate rotates by its connexion to said motor 601 disposed on motor axle 604. When said ISM ENIGMA battery-less switch 603 is placed in close proximity to said EH recharger as seen in FIG. 30, upon high speed rotation of said recharging array plate 603 and disposed arrayed disk magnets 605 their respective magnetic fields are set in motion and cut through said coil bobbin windings contained within said switch enclosure 606. This continuous rotating magnet field action continues to induce electrical currents into said coil windings that are electrically connected to a recharging bank of super capacitors that in effect act as a rechargeable battery, and where said super capacitor bank can be utilized through a USB connexion for any outside world recharging purpose such as the recharging of a cell phone, tablet, or laptop computer. It should also be understood by those steeped in the art that this accumulated charge acne be utilized by the switch circuitry itself.
