  • Publication number: 20100162970
    Abstract: A heat-pipe electric power generating device includes a heat pipe having an evaporating end and a condensing end, a non-magnetic shell connected to the condensing end, a generator stator coil disposed at the outer of the non-magnetic shell, a turbine disposed in the heat pipe, a driving axle connected to the turbine and extended into the non-magnetic shell, and a magnetic element disposed at the driving axle and located in the non-magnetic shell. A vapor flow flowing to the condensing end is generated at the evaporating end. The vapor flow drives the turbine to move the magnetic element, such that the generator stator coil generates an induced current. In addition, a hydrogen/oxygen gas generating apparatus and an internal combustion engine system having the heat-pipe electric power generating device are also provided.

  • Publication number: 20100162969
    Abstract: A heat-pipe electric power generating device including a fan disposed between an evaporating end and a condensing end of a heat-pipe is provided. A magnetic substance is disposed on the fan to form a magnetic field. A stator coil of a generator is disposed at the outer of the heat-pipe, which is corresponding to the position of the fan. An induced current is generated by the stator coil of the generator when the magnetic substance spins. Since the heat-pipe is made of copper, and the magnetic field is not shielded by copper, a current is induced when a relative motion between the magnetic substance on the fan and the stator coil of the generator at the outer of the heat-pipe is generated. Further, the heat-pipe electric power generating device can be applied on a hydrogen/oxygen gas generating apparatus and an internal combustion engine system of a motor vehicle.

  • Patent number: 7405501
    Abstract: An electric generator is disclosed, which comprises: at least a magnet, each having more than two poles; and at least a claw-pole set, each being composed of an inner claw-pole and an outer claw-pole; wherein, the inner claw-pole and the outer claw-pole are interlaced arranged and used for guiding magnetic flux; the inner claw-pole is connected to an iron core whose outer diameter is smaller than the magnet and thus the loop of the inner claw-pole and the outer claw-pole is conducted; the core is winded by a solenoid coil; the number of claws of the inner claw-pole is the half of the pole number of the magnet while the outer claw-pole is the same, so that, as the magnet is move relative to the claw-pole set, the magnetic flux passing through the solenoid coil will change continuously and thus an induction electromotive force is generated.
