  • Patent number: 7504737
    Abstract: In an exemplary briefcase embodiment as depicted in FIG. 48, exemplary batteries (525) and (526) would be contained in very close proximity to an exemplary twelve-coil PMG assembly (300?). The exemplary twelve-coil PMG assembly (300?) would comprise a twelve-coil stator (not visible) in between two rotors (e.g., 217b). In an exemplary briefcase embodiment, exemplary batteries (525) and (526) would be separated from the exemplary twelve-coil PMG assembly (300?) by magnetic shielding, including internal side magnetic shielding (510); exemplary batteries (525) and (526) would be further shielded from the magnetic flux of the exemplary twelve-coil PMG assembly (300?) by, for example, open-face magnetic shielding panel (511), magnetic shielding internally encased in the sides and bottom of main base casing (507), and by magnetically shielded conduit (not shown).
