  • Publication number: 20160233806
    Abstract: A magnetoelectric device capable of storing usable electrical energy includes an inductive servo control unit and a motor. The motor includes a rotor and three ferromagnetic-core coils disposed around the rotor. The inductive servo control unit executes individual phase control on the three-phase induction motor to magnetize the ferromagnetic-core coils with respective phases. When each of the ferromagnetic-core coils is demagnetized, it generates a current due to counter-electromotive force to charge a damping capacitor.

  • Publication number: 20120181794
    Abstract: A magnetoelectric cogenerator uses a magnetic fuel cell stack to convert renewable energy for outputting, and works basing on the first law of thermodynamics to covert potential into kinetic energy through the known Hall Effect and enables out-coupling of electric energy. For DC output, the magnetic fuel cell stack is an inductance-type high-frequency transformer; and for AC output, a DC permanent-magnet motor and a permanent-magnet self-excited generator enable forming of the cell stack, i.e. to combine with a power storage module to form the magnetoelectric cogenerator. A damper absorbs or eliminates anti-electromotive force (EMF) or eddy current from time to time for the DC permanent-magnet motor to always maintain in an optimal state for normal operation to reduce power consumption. The magnetoelectric cogenerator is able to stably generate power without producing any emission to thereby solve the problems of power supply and environmental protection in the electric energy application fields.
