1. Field of the Invention
The invention “compass-effect magnetic rotor” refers to an iron bar winding to which a DC current is applied to convert it into an electromagnet, this iron bar being centrally mounted on a shaft in such a way that when the whole assembly is oriented North-South the bar will point North-South because it acts as a simple compass, however; when the iron bar is aligned with the Earth's magnetic north, the polarity of the bar is changed, changing the direction of electricity supply and hence the iron bar will rotate permanently and successively thereby attaining continuous rotation of the iron bar on the shaft perpendicular to the center thereof.
The energy generated by the Earth's magnetic field is thus utilized and converted into mechanical energy through the permanent rotation of the “compass-effect magnetic rotor,” which in turn converts said energy into electricity by means of a generator connected to the shaft.
The electrical energy required to magnetize the iron bar is less in magnitude than the electricity produced by the generator of electricity connected to the “compass-effect magnetic rotor” system; and so this results in a new form of power generation by means of the invention of the “compass-effect magnetic rotor.”
2. Description of Related Art
There are many techniques used for equipment to harness the natural energy of wind, hydro and others to covert mechanical energy into a source for electricity, various propellers are designed to make them spin in the wind and generate electricity through this mechanical movement, also the power generated by falling water is used with different types of turbines designed to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy, and many other similar mechanisms exist in the art, where all of them, like the invention compass-effect magnetic rotor, spin a shaft which engages an electric power generator.
For further explanation of the invention called “compass effect magnetic rotor” must be described in relation to the figures, wherein:
Referring to
The end of the winding wire 4 is channeled and connects positive contact rod 8 in the case of these figures is attached to the tubular housing 11 and the initial end of the winding wire 5 is channeled and connecting negative contact rod 9 also in the case of these figures is attached to the tubular casing 11, but at the other end, both positive contact rod 8 and negative contact rod 9 are equidistant to the center of mass 10.
The positive contact rod 8 is maintained in contact with the positively charged semi-cylindrical plate 6 which is connected by cable 17 to the positive DC terminal of rechargeable battery 19 and the contact bar 9 is maintained in contact with the negatively charged semi-cylindrical plate 7 connected by the cable 18 to the negative DC terminal of rechargeable battery 19 in order to deliver energy, steel round bar 1 is magnetized and its positive charge will align it with the earth's magnetic north and arriving to alignment to with that point, the contact rod 8 comes into contact with the negatively charged plate 7 and the contact bar 9 come into contact with the positively charged plate 6 and circular steel rod 1 changes its polarity and again seeks alignment with the magnetic field of the earth, and in this way circular steel bar 1 spins about the axis of rotation 3 by changing the polarity in each full rotation to remain energized while in contact with positively charged plate 6 and then negatively charged plate 7.
Therefore, spinning circular steel bar 1 will continue to turn rotation shaft 3 which, when connected to an electrical generator 20, produces electrical energy which, because of the length of the circular steel bar 1 exercises a torque about the rotation axis 3 so that the magnitude of the electrical energy produced by the effect of the earth's magnetic field is greater than the magnitude of the electrical energy consumed in magnetized circular steel bar 1, and thus the invention “compass-effect magnetic rotor” has an industrial application.
