Method of power generation
First Claim
1. A method of power generation comprising the steps of:
- slideably coupling at least one gyrator element to a generator drive shaft;
securing said gyrator element to a non-rotational gyrator support element;
adjustably securing said non-rotational gyrator support element to least one drive shaft track;
rotating at least one rotational movement element;
loading said gyrator element onto the surface of said rotational movement element;
activating at least one gyrator position calibrator, to which said gyrator element is responsive, adjusting said gyrator element across the surface of said rotational movement element in response to an output parameter;
innervating at least one generator coupled to said generator drive-shaft; and
generating an electrical output.

Abstract
The inventive technology described herein generally relates to the field of power generation. More specifically, methods and apparatus for a power generation coupler utilizing perhaps multiple generators coupled through a power generation coupler to at least one rotational movement element such that said coupled connection is dynamically movable across the surface the rotational movement element so as to maintain an electrical output at a constant generator rotation(s) per minute (RPM) according to the varying rotational velocity along the radius of a rotational movement element. In some embodiments such coupled generators may be sequentially loaded and disengaged to such rotational movement element to maintain an electrical output at a constant generator RPM. Certain embodiments may include a static power generation coupler as well as an electrically dynamic power generation coupler such that the current applied to the stator of a generator may dynamically alter that generators resistance.
