Ring generator
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A power generating system, comprising:
- a ring assembly including a plurality of blades connected to a hub;
a magnetic flux generating element coupled to the ring assembly along a circumference of rotation of the ring assembly;
a current conducting element disposed on the system, which cooperates with the flux generating element so that relative movement induces electric current therein.

Abstract
The present invention is a rotary device that may be adapted for use as a propeller assembly and electrical generator for aerial vehicles or other vehicles intended for fluid media. In one example, the device includes a ring assembly having a plurality of centrally linked blades coupled to a rotatable common hub. Rotary motion of the ring assembly is facilitated by coupling it to an opposed cylinder, opposed piston, internal combustion. The ring assembly includes components of an electrical power generating system so that electrical power is produced from the rotation of the ring assembly.

17. A power generating system comprising:
-
a ring assembly comprising a plurality of blades connected to a hub, and at an end opposite the hub the ring assembly comprises a circumferential element;
a magnetic flux generating element coupled to the ring assembly along a circumference of rotation of the ring assembly, the magnetic flux generating element comprising a plurality of magnets disposed on an inside diameter of the circumferential element; and
a current conducting element disposed on the system, which cooperates with the flux generating element so that during relative rotating movement of the elements electric current flow is induced. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)
