  • Patent number: 9819245
    Abstract: A power generation system adopted for use on a vehicle comprises a first rotary member, a second rotary member, a transmission gear set and a brake module. The first rotary member includes a first gear, and a housing space for installation of the second rotary member. The second rotary member includes a second gear with a gear ratio smaller than that of the first gear, an excitation winding and an electric input portion. The transmission gear set includes at least one transmission gear which is driven by the first gear to drive the second gear to rotate in a direction opposite to the first gear. The brake module detects operation condition of a brake pedal and a drive pedal made by the driver, and outputs an excitation current to the electric output portion via a first brush to generate electric power.

  • Patent number: 9071095
    Abstract: A high performance power generation apparatus includes a first rotary member and a second rotary member. The first rotary member has a spindle and a rotor fastened to the spindle. The spindle has a first gear coupled thereon. The rotor has a first electromagnetic portion. The second rotary member has an internal gear ring and a second electromagnetic portion. The first gear and internal gear ring are interposed by at least one transmission gear. When the spindle drives the rotor and first gear to spin, the first gear drives the second rotary member to spin in the direction opposite to the first rotary member via the transmission gear so that the induction coil and magnet can interact at greater relative spinning speed to generate a greater amount of electric power output.

  • Patent number: 6249187
    Abstract: A monolithic power amplifier system is described which comprises a biasing system 50, transconductance amplifier circuit 42 and a transimpedance amplifier circuit 44 biasing network 50 is operable to generate a bias voltage which is used by the transimpedance amplifier 44. The transimpedance amplifier 44 receives an input current signal from the transconductance amplifier 42. The changes in the input current are communicated to a pull-up transistor 184 and a pull-down transistor 190 which drive an output voltage VOUT at sufficient levels to power the cathode of an electron gun of a video system.
