  • Patent number: 11424653
    Abstract: This present utility model provides a novel DC dynamo which is characterized by making the magnetic lines of flux pass through an air gap between the rotator and the stator in the same direction, thus the most of armature coils can always receive the electromotive force of the same polarity in the same direction. Therefore, bidirectional energy conversion between the mechanical energy and the electrical energy of the armature coils in series can still proceed in the absence of commutators and induced the armature to generate sufficient electromotive force to conveniently regulate suitable terminal voltages and the ratios of the rotating speed and the moving speed thereof.

  • Patent number: 11370507
    Abstract: The present invention disclose a continuously variable reciprocating prime mover. The feature of this continuously variable reciprocating prime mover is that the reciprocating rotatory motion of the legs is modified into the reciprocating linear flexion and extension of the legs, by which one leg is flexed while the other leg is stretching, the combined force of the legs can be multiplied by the force. After each linear motion stroke is completed, the reverse linear motion stroke is repeated, and the driving direction remains unchanged. At any moment of the full stroke of the reciprocating linear flexion and extension of the legs, both can generate 2 times of the instantaneous power equivalent to the maximum moment point of the circular rotation.
