1. An electrical generator system, comprising:
- an internal combustion engine for producing heated ionized combustion gases;
a conduit connected to said internal combustion engine for receiving a flow of said heated ionized combustion gases; and
a generator assembly positioned in close proximity to said conduit, said generator assembly including;
a plurality of magnets positioned in a spaced relationship, said plurality of magnets producing a magnetic field; and
at least one pair of electrodes positioned inside said conduit adjacent to said plurality of magnets to conduct an electrical current generated in response to said flow of heated ionized combustion gases in said conduit from said magnetic field, wherein said at least one pair of electrodes or a plurality of pairs of electrodes are alternatingly interposed between adjacent pairs of magnets of said plurality of magnets.
