MAGNETIC AXLE GENERATOR

GENERATRICE D'ESSIEU MAGNETIQUE

English Abstract

The axle of a car can be fitted with a nonconducting sleeve over which a set
of receiving coils
may be mounted to capture the energy from spinning within an axle housing
fitted with magnets.
The spin of the coil in the magnetic field generates DC current at the end(s)
of the axles through
a basic split ring brush commutator design. Alternatively a brushless system
may be used
where the axle is fitted along its length with a magnet as a sleeve, this then
induces receiving
coils in the axle housing while the axle turns. The current may be fed to a
battery for use in
powertrain and other vehicular systems.

Claims

Claims
= The axle of any ground vehicle may serve as a template which may, through
its rotation
while moving, be fitted with a modification to allow the rotational energy to
be captured
and applied to the car's motion and other power needs;
= It is of merit that the modification requires little to no drag force to
offset the collection of
energy and hence in the balance is a net green producer of energy;
= The use of a nonconducting sleeve over an axle will prevent shorting in
the armature or
magnet to be fitted along the metal of the axle itself;
= Permanent magnets fitted into the axle housing - north and south
alternatively on each
side of the axle - create a field which the rotating axle - when fitted with
wires along its
length - moves through and generates a current in conjunction with;
= The current is made using split rings at the ends of the wires with a
commutator to
render it into DC for storage in the car battery;
= Alternatively a brushless system might be useful to allow less friction -
this design has
magnets wrapped around the axle length and receiving coils in the axle
housing;
= The application of this magnetic axle or 'Maxle' to evehicle design will
allow extended
travel between charges.

Description

Description
In Figure 1 we see the basic Maxie design in cross section. Each axle on
either side of the gear
mechanism (1/tire) is fitted with an armature of heavy gauge copper wire,
under which is a
sleeve of nonconducting material to separate it from the metal beneath. On
either side of the
axle is a permanent magnet. One side shows its north pole to the axle while
the other shows its
south pole.
In Figure 2 we see more detail with magnets in the axle housing serving as a
stator in the
generation of current.
In Figure 3 a basic DC current generation design may be used with a split ring
commutator
system. The current feeds a battery.
Figure 4 shows a Maxle where the magnet is wrapped around the axle along a
length with coils
in the axle housing.
The potential to harvest the full power of the axle's rotation when converting
it into a generator
as applied to evehicle technologies is promising and makes the use of such
vehicles more likely
due to cost effectiveness.
