Abstract: An apparatus for vacuumizing and sealing a package includes a plurality of platens and vacuum chambers, each chamber adapted to mate with a dedicated one of the platens; a conveying system for conveying the platens and chambers along a generally angular path having a single axis of rotation; an automated loading assembly having a linear component and configured to load a package onto each of the platens; an automated unloading assembly having a linear portion and configured to unload a vacuumized, sealed package from each loaded platen onto an outfeed conveyor; and a vacuumizing/sealing system configured to cause relative movement of each chamber/platen pair, along a portion of the angular path, to form therebetween an air-tight enclosure accommodating the package and effect vacuumization and sealing of the package.

Abstract: A system consisting of a magnet mounted on a shaft wherein both North and South poles are enclosed within the volume of a cylindrical coil and said shaft is spun by mechanical means thereby producing a current in said coil primarily by way of the Lorentz force and as said system slows down there is inherent positive Electro-magnetic and Electro-mechanical feedback.
