Abstract: A transformer having variable reluctance, that controls the amount of power conveyed from an input to a load, based on a value selected by a computer control. The load power is varied by controlling the section and air gap between two parallel iron cores and a magnetic reluctance shifter positioned between the cores to vary the magnetic reluctance. The shifter is rotated by a motor. The position of the shifter varies the reluctance of the transformer and thus varies the amount of voltage transmitted from the primary winding to the secondary winding of the transformer. The iron core transformer is mounted in a non-magnetic frame and the windings are made from insulated braided copper strips, or insulated twisted cable.

Abstract: The invention includes an energy dimmer drive and energy pilot that controls the amount of current and voltage conveyed from an input to a load, based on values selected by the user. The current and voltage is varied by controlling the spacing between the primary and secondary winding of a variable transformer, as well as the movement of a core in the transformer through a minicomputer, relay cards and/or transistors, sensors and readers. The electric energy power variation is continuous, always rephased according to pre-established values and without microswitches, and is controlled instantaneously.
