Abstract: A disk type magnetic generator is a core-free magnetic generator including a shaft connected, in series, to a first rotor, a stator, and a second rotor or a core-included magnetic generator including a rotor and a stator connected in series. The rotor has a surface that is positioned against a stator plate and includes a number of flat-plate magnets arranged in a single circle and each forming an inclination angle with respect to a radius of rotor plate. The rotor plate alternatively includes multiple groups of magnets rotatably mounted on the same plate and arranged in concentric circles. The rotor alternatively includes multiple groups of magnets rotatably mounted in a diameter expansion direction and arranged in concentric circles. Alternatively, a combined assembly of a rotor and a stator that are connected in series by a driven shaft is provided with a rotatably connected weight ring in a diameter expansion direction.

Abstract: A self-light smoking tool includes a portable inhaler tube having an inhaling end, an opposed lighter-adapter end, and a treatment chamber for receiving a smoking element therein. A lighter includes a flame producing portion detachably coupling with the lighter-adapter end of the inhaler tube. The inhaler tube further includes a plurality of ventilating slots spacedly formed at a surrounding wall at a position closed to the lighter-adapter end. Therefore, the self-light smoking tool is extremely portable and has its own lighter such that the user is able to always carry a self-lighting smoking tool with him for smoking purpose.

Abstract: A faucet includes a valve tube journalled within a faucet body, and a discharge spout connected fixedly to an open end of the tube. A discharge end of the spout can be pushed upwardly to turn the spout from a discharging position, where an opening in the tube comes into alignment with a water inlet in the faucet body so that a maximum amount of water can flow downwardly from the discharge end, to a non-discharging position, where the opening is not fluidly communicated with the water inlet so as to stop flow of water from the discharge end. Because there is still water flowing from the discharge end when the spout is rotated from the discharging position to the non-discharging position, contamination of the user's hands due to contact with the discharge end after washing can be prevented.
