HYBRTD INDUCTION MOTOR

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

The present invention relates generally to motors and, more particularly, to a method of increasing a motors revolutions by connecting a plurality of stators and a plurality of rotors in a specific configuration that will result in an increase in RPM' s.

Induction AC motors consists of two electrical assemblies the stator and rotor. The alternating current supplied to the stator induces current in the rotor creating a rotor magnetic field which will follow the stator rotating field causing rotor rotation.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

A primary object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid motor having increased RPM.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid motor comprising a plurality of stators and a plurality of rotors.

Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid motor wherein a rotor is connected to an adjacent stator to impinge rotation thereof.

Still yet another object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid motor wherein the adjacent stator has a rotor with an additive RPM generated from the rotating stator.

Another object of the present invention is to provide a hybrid motor wherein the number of conjoined stator rotors is a variable of the desired RPM's.

The present invention overcomes the shortcomings of the state of the art by providing a method of increasing a motors revolutions by connecting a plurality of stators and a plurality of rotors in a specific configuration that will result in an increase in RPM's. for induction motors by conjoining adjacent stators with adjoining rotors in step fashion.

More particularly, and as most broadly claimed, the present invention provides an apparatus for increasing induction motor revolutions per minute ("RPM"), which includes a motor having a selectively continuous source of AC power and with the motor further including a first stator for inducing current within a rotor using the AC power. The rotor is conjoined to a second stator for impinging rotor rotation to the second stator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING FIGURES AND PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

Turning now, in detail, to the accompanying drawing figures, FIGS. 1 — 4 illustrate a convention induction motor. The motor has a stator 16, supplied with AC power 14 from an AC power source 12, which is used to create a rotating magnetic field for inducing induces current in the rotor 18 conductors. The conductors, in turn, create conductor magnetic fields that cut lines of stator magnetic field flux 20, thereby creating the magnetic force driving rotor rotation.

FIGS. 2 - 4 show the motor of FIG. 1 as having a stator 16, which is comprised of radially positioned electromagnets, that when supplied with AC power 14 from an AC power source 12, are used to create a rotating magnetic field that is dependant on the number of stator poles and power source frequency, which induces current in the rotor 18 conductors. As best illustrated in FIGS. 3 and 4, the motor, having AC power 14 from an AC power source 12, has stator 16 for inducing rotor 18 conductor current and rotor conductor magnetic fields that cut lines of stator magnetic field flux creating the magnetic force driving rotor rotation.

FIG. 5 is a side view of the hybrid induction motor of the present.inventiαn, which includes a stator 16 with electromagnets, that when energized from an AC power source 12, induces current in rotor 18. The hybrid induction motor 10 of the present invention provides that primary rotor 24 has rotation 26, derived from the stator' s 22 number of electromagnets and AC frequency, is impinged upon conjoined stator 32 by virtue of joining 28 rotor 24 and conjoined-stator 32.

FIGS- 6 - 8 further illustrate the hybrid induction motor of the present invention, in which primary rotor 24, rotation 26 derived from the stator's 22 number of electromagnets and AC frequency, is impinged upon conjoined stator 30 by virtue of joining 28 rotor 24 and conjoined-stator 30, which is impinged on rotor 32.

FIG. 9 presents the hybrid induction motor of the present invention, in which stator 16, comprised of radially-positioned electromagnets, that when supplied with AC power 14 from an AC power source 12, are used to create a rotating magnetic field which induces current in rotor 18 conductors, thereby creating conductor magnetic fields that cut lines of stator magnetic field flux 20. The result is a magnetic force for driving rotor rotation, which is impinged on a second stator conjoined with rotor.

FIG. 10 illustrates the inventive hybrid induction motor as having a primary rotor 24 with rotation 26, derived from the stator' s 22 number of electromagnets and AC frequency, which is impinged upon conjoined stator 32 by virtue of joining 28 rotor 24 and conjomed-stator 32. This has a rotor rotation that is impinged on an adjoining stator 36, thereby impinging all prior rotation in a cumulative effect, which is impinged on the last rotor 38.
