Patents by Inventor Chad Ashley Vandenberg

Chad Ashley Vandenberg has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10848017
    Abstract: A generator includes a stator that has permanent magnets that complete a magnetic circuit across a series of gaps and through a generator coil. The rotor also includes permanent magnets that complete a magnetic circuit across a gap and through a rotor coil. When the rotor poles align with the stator poles, the stator and rotor magnetic circuits are broken, and new magnetic circuits are completed between the stator and rotor permanent magnets that cross the gap between the stator and rotor poles. A rotor coil can be used to boost the attraction/repulsion between to rotor and stator magnets. Alternating between these magnetic circuits as the prime mover rotates the rotor generates electricity.

  • Patent number: 10666107
    Abstract: A magnetic flux offset system selectively modifies the magnetic force at effective poles of a magnetic flux element. Magnetic flux from each effective pole is enhanced and/or effectively nullified using a control coil. The control coil directs magnetic flux from a magnetic flux donor to nullify magnetic flux from a flux donor at one effective pole. Magnetic flux from the control coil could also add to the magnetic flux from a flux donor at another effective pole. Reversing the current to the control coil could switch the effective pole where the magnetic flux is nullified and the effective pole where the magnetic flux is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 10600542
    Abstract: A polarity-switching magnetic diode provides a method of gating or “rectifying” N and S polarized flux contained within the closed-loop flux circuit of a magnetic flux element. Gaps separate the opposing magnetic polarities, and strategically placed control coils are disposed to break the magnetic circuit in at least two places upon electrical activation of the device—forming high density flux zones of opposite polarity. Switching the control coil's magnetic flux flow allows for the high density flux zones to alternate N and S polarity.
