Abstract

The invention discloses an apparatus and a method for tuning the magnetic field of brushless motors and alternators to obtain efficient operation over a broad RPM range. The motor or alternator comprises fixed windings (or stator) around a rotating rotor carrying permanent magnets. The permanent magnets are generally cylindrical and have North and South poles formed longitudinally in the magnets. Magnetically conducting circuits are formed by the magnets residing in magnetic conducting pole pieces (for example, low carbon or soft steel, and / or laminated insulated layers, of non-magnetizable material). Rotating the permanent magnets, or rotating non-magnetically conducting shunting pieces, inside the pole pieces, either strengthens or weakens the resulting magnetic field to adjust the motor or alternator for low RPM torque or for efficient high RPM efficiency. Varying the rotor magnetic field adjusts the voltage output of the alternators allowing, for example, a windmill generator, to maintain a fixed voltage output.

Description

technical field [0001] This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 610,184, filed October 30, 2009, and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12 / 610,271, filed October 30, 2009, both of which are The contents are incorporated into this application by reference. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates to electric motors and generators, and more particularly to adjusting the orientation of stationary magnets and / or non-magnetic shunt blocks in a rotor for efficient operation at various RPMs. [0003] Brushless DC motors are generally required to operate at a wide range of RPMs, but can only be operated efficiently over a limited RPM range. Furthermore, generators and alternators are often required to operate over a wide range of revolutions per minute. For example, automotive alternators operate at RPM proportional to engine RPM, while wind alternators operate at RPM proportional to wind speed. Unfortunately, known al...
