High-efficiency charging and regulating system
First Claim
1. A charging and regulating system for charging a battery and regulating a voltage delivered to the battery, comprising:
- an alternator having a rotor with at least one magnet thereon, and a stator in close proximity to the rotor having at least one alternator coil and at least one power coil;
control means connecting an output of the alternator coil to the system battery for delivering a regulated voltage to the system battery for charging thereof, said control means having a control input;
voltage regulating means connected to the control input for creating a control voltage; and
means for connecting a voltage output by the power coil to the voltage regulating means for use in creating said control voltage connected to the control input of the control means.

Abstract
A high efficiency charging and regulating system charges a battery and regulates a voltage delivered to the battery. An alternator having a rotor with at least one magnet thereon and a stator in close proximity to the rotor has at least one alternator coil and at least one power coil. A regulating and charging device connects an output of the alternator coil to a system battery for delivering a regulated voltage to the system battery for charging thereof. Preferably, the charging and regulating means comprises a full wave SCR rectifier, gate inputs of which are controlled by voltage derived from the power coil.
