Title:
ENERGY CONVERSION ASSEMBLIES AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF USE AND MANUFACTURE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/034677
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to conversion of renewable energy such as solar, wind, falling water, wave and biomass resources into energy forms for practical transport by existing electricity and natural gas transport systems and includes embodiments for cyclic conversion of rectilinear forces into electricity wherein charged particles force a separate population of charged particles to flow in a separate circuit to create an electric current. Forces exerted at a first frequency are converted into cyclic electrical current at a frequency that is a multiple of the frequency of the forces. Similar arrangements are provided for conversion of rotary forces into electricity. Components of the disclosure can be manufactured at a high rate from very low cost materials with minimum energy requirements for the purpose of generation of low-cost electricity from linear motion engines and renewable forces such as ocean waves and flowing fluids such as water or air. Corrosion and biofouling are eliminated by application of cathodic and chemical treatments produced by the operation of the disclosure. Various embodiments of the disclosure allow improved cogeneration and motor vehicles, household appliances, and industrial equipment to be operated on energy converted from rectilinear forces.
