Patent number: 8416045Abstract: A rare earth magnet is observed to function as a constant flux generator until coerced. To exploit this law, a Magnetic Power Converter is configured as a figure eight shaped balanced reluctance bridge where a rare earth magnet provides a source of constant flux employed as a working fluid. One side of the bridge drives an output coil and the other side is moderated by a toroid shaped control core acting as a variable reluctance shunt with respect to the magnet. Current in the control coil determines the rate and degree of flux variation across the bridge and therefore the resultant output voltage. Due to a mitigation of Lenz effect, full output loading is not reflected in the input; this property supports real power conversion efficiencies that may have wide applications in alternative energy and green energy generation.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2011Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: OnyxIP, Inc.Inventors: Harvey S.

Patent number: 8344843Abstract: A flux transfer device includes a first conductive element for generating magnetic flux when energized by an electric current and a second conductive element being concentric with the first conductive element, wherein the second conductive element generates an electric voltage/current in response to changes in the magnetic flux. A first magnetic element is concentric with the first conductive element, such that the magnetic flux generated by the first conductive element displaces at least a portion of the magnetic flux from the first magnetic element, thereby inducing an electric voltage/current in the second conductive element. A third conductive element and a second magnetic element may be positioned concentrically with the first conductive element such that the magnetic flux generated by the first conductive element displaces at least a portion of magnetic flux from the second magnetic element, thereby inducing an electric voltage/current in the third conductive element.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2011Date of Patent: January 1, 2013Assignee: Solid State Magnetics CorporationInventor: John T.

Publication number: 20120326830Abstract: In a first mixing process, soft magnetic powders and inorganic insulative powders of 0.4-1.5 wt % relative to the soft magnetic powders are mixed. In the heating process, a mixture through the first mixing process is heated at a temperature of 1000° C. or more and below the sintering temperature of the soft magnetic powders under a non-oxidizing atmosphere. In the granulating process, a silane coupling agent of 0.1-0.5 wt % is added to form an adhesiveness enhancing layer. A silicon resin of 0.5-2.0 wt % is added to the soft magnetic alloy powders having the adhesiveness enhancing layer formed by the silane coupling agent to form a binding layer. A lubricating resin is mixed, and a mixture is pressed and molded to form a mold. In an annealing process, the mold is annealed under a non-oxidizing atmosphere to form a dust core which is used to form a reactor.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 20, 2010Publication date: December 27, 2012Inventors: Yasuo Oshima, Susumu Handa, Kota Akaiwa, Taichi Tamura

Publication number: 20120313543Abstract: A transformer as well as a switching power supply and a LED fluorescent lamp applying the same. The transformer comprises: a framework (1), a magnetic core (2) and a winding (3). A reel (10) of the framework (1) is in a hollow column structure with openings at two ends. Lateral walls of the framework extend vertically at the openings at two ends to form an annular slot structure (11). The winding (3) is wound around the annular slot structure (11). The magnetic core is in a structure as Chinese character Ri openings at two ends which covers the reel (10) and the winding (3) from the circumference. The middle part of the magnetic core (2) is inserted into the reel (10). The transformer as well as the switching power supply and the LED fluorescent lamp applying the same has better electromagnetic compatibility, reducing EMI to other devices and power grids.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 7, 2010Publication date: December 13, 2012Inventors: Deqi Zhao, Ying Li
