Abstract:
The conductor apparatus of the present invention remedies the drawbacks of all previously known conductor components (field coils, etc.) in electrical power generation systems, and in electromechanical systems (coil windings/stators in electrical motors, solenoids, etc.) by providing the same or greater level of Faraday induction efficiency, while optimizing (e.g., lowering) the level of magnetic resistance/reluctance with respect to relative motion between the conductor, and at least one magnetic element positioned in proximity thereto. The optimized magnetic resistance feature of the inventive conductor results from its unique geometric configuration and orientation of elements thereof, such that the novel conductor is only partially disposed proximal to one or more magnetic elements in a desirable pattern. The optimized magnetic resistance feature of the inventive conductor is extremely advantageous in that its utilization in electromechanical systems vastly increases their efficiency, reliability, and sustainability of operation, as well as lowers their cost of fabrication. In at least one inventive embodiment thereof, the inventive conductor is further improved by suspension thereof in a very cold environment during operation (such as being surrounded by a cryogenic material—liquid nitrogen, etc.)
