  • Patent number: 6624617
    Abstract: The method for stabilizing the voltage of an AC generator with varying (alternating) rotor speed is characterized in that the voltage generated by an AC generator is maintained constant when the rotor speed changes. The control is carried out without the use of electrical contacts by means of a high-frequency pulse generator. The transformer of the high-frequency pulse generator is divided. The rotating part is provided on the rotor axis and the other part is stationary outside the rotor. Both parts are separated by an air gap. Deviations from a preset output voltage are controlling the pulse generator whose pulses are transmitted by the transformer to the power section of the rotor. The complete power section consisting of the coil and the electronic switch is arranged on the rotor so as to transmit only control currents without physical contact.

  • Patent number: 6490176
    Abstract: A DC/AC converter is provided for contactless, inductive transfer of energy, which transfers arbitrary voltages to a removable user with the aid of a high-frequency pulse generator. The pulse generator produces asymmetric pulses, which provides two different voltages to the user, depending on a to coupling orientation. Further, the pulse generator is built in such a way that, if a user is absent, it is not excited to oscillation and, as a result, uses substantially no energy at all in a stand-by operation.
