Coasting-wheel with aeronautic levitation for harmonic electric generation

Abstract

The present invention titled: a coasting-wheel with aeronautic levitation for harmonic electric generation is a device to generate electric energy or power via the principle of electromagnetic induction during the phase of energy-in and during the coasting phase; energy-off. It differs from the conventional electric generators and alternators as such the latter include an element of stator and an element of rotor but in the present invention the armature and magnets undergo rotation. Second, all electric generators operate in non-harmonic mode, i.e., when the input fuel is turned off the electric generator or alternator stops but in the present invention the electricity is generated during the coasting phase. It differs from the well-known apparatus flywheel as such the latter is a storage device and not a device for electric generation. In the present invention the coasting wheel is discharging its rotational kinetic energy into electric energy instantaneously during its spinning phase when the source of energy is turned off as well as it generates electricity during the phase of energy-in. The present invention includes a unique method of rotation induced by thruster engines (converging diverging duct) suited in a rectangular wing for levitation. Normally, the electric generator or alternator operates with a piston engine or turbine.
