The present invention relates to electric generators and the generation of electricity from same; along with a plurality of novel embodiments and applications utilizing these features of novelty. The evolution of electric generators since the inception of Galvani and later Faraday in 1821 and in 1831; has progressed along the conventional knowledge of moving a coil through a stationary magnetic field or in some demonstrable instances, the motion of a magnet through a stationary coil. However the dominating influence of generators incorporating an internal moving coil about a stationary magnetic field remains the mainstay of global electrical power generation on any scale. Further, in all cases of a magnet in motion about a stationary coil, the shape of said magnet(s) is of the bar, horseshoe, or other non-spherical magnet shape means; nor a magnetic shape means of encompassing a 360 degree circle as part and parcel to said magnet(s).

Another aspect of said present invention is to utilize the inherent characteristic of relative angle of said ambient magnetic field against said stationary position of said coil member means as a methodology of measuring angular deviation for any useable purpose. Whereby any such angular deviation of either said magnetic field of said Gaussian Surface magnet relative to said stationary coil will cause an induced voltage and whose magnitude and polarity is determined by the two dimensional dot product of the stationary coil position and alignment vector and the directional and polar position and alignment vector of said Gaussian Surface magnetic field as expressed as;

    • 2. If the angle between AM and BS are less than 90 degrees, the dot product will be positive (greater than zero), as cos(Θ) will be positive, and the vector lengths are always positive values.

a°(b×c)  eq. 2

This referring to FIG. 14 graph 1G.

    • This referring to FIG. 14 graph 2G
      The triple product has the following properties
      a°(b×c)=(b×c)°a  eq. 5
      a°(b×c)=c°(a×b)=b°(c×a)  eq. 6
      a°(b×c)=−a°(c×b)  eq. 7
    • Further where a is the coil wire direction vector, b is the Gaussian Surface magnetic field vector, and C is the vertical position of said Gaussian Surface magnet compared to its deviation from the center of said coil, i.e. either dead center and level with coil surface plane, coil-centered axis but left angular tilt from coil surface, or coil-centered axis but right angular tilt from coil surface.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

With reference to FIG. 1 there is shown an embodiment 100 of a “stationary coil” electrical generator 101 in communication with a “centred axle” magnet 102, and also in communication with at least one or a plurality of focus magnets 104“all” combined 325 electromechanically and utilized as a power source means 101 & 102 for an electrical power load 105 in the form of a ISM band transceiver 105 for the purpose of powering momentarily, said transceiver 105 to emit electromagnetic waves of radio frequencies that are modulated with a digital code sequence but not limited to utilization as a power source for an electrical power load in the form of a ISM band transceiver and further can 330 be utilized for a plurality of power source applications means.

With reference to FIG. 1A there is shown the same, but enhanced with enclosure 108 embodiment 100A with a protective enclosure 108. Power connexion leads 106 are connected to said power load 105 and with this embodiment said power load 105 is said ISM band transceiver 105 with attached antennas 107.

With reference to FIG. 2 a coil form 101 with its output power leads 106 are electrically connected and in communication with said power load 105, which in this illustrated embodiment is an ISM band radio transceiver 105 with associated antenna 107C. A spherical “centred axle” magnet 102 with axles for rotation 103 is positioned and in communication with the centre of said coil form 101. Said axial spherical “centred axle” magnet 102 is magnetized with its North and South magnetic poles perpendicular to its axle of rotation 103, and is at right angles to the coil-wire turns and parallel to the tangent of said coil-wire turns. The magnetic field lines emanating from the North magnetic pole and entering the South magnetic pole of said spherical magnet 102 will therefore be at right angles to said coil-wire sections that are parallel to said spherical magnet axle 103. Upon rotation of said spherical magnet means 102 about its axle 103, said magnetic field (visually assumed and not illustrated) lines cut through said coil form 101 and induces an electromotive force felt at the output leads 106. Said induced electromotive force is varying in intensity and polarity, thus generating an alternating electrical current utilized as a power source. In order to increase the amount of power produced by this action, a focus magnet 104 or a plurality of focus magnets 104 are positioned and in communication with said spherical “centred axle” magnet 102. Positioning of said focus magnets 104 are such that said focus magnet(s) 104 remain stationary with the South magnetic and North magnetic poles field lines that are aligned “inline parallel” to and in communication with said spherical magnet 102 field lines. This embodiment of the present invention allows for the action of concentration of said spherical magnet fields lines per unit square (area) so that more field lines cut through a coil-wire section thus producing more induced electromotive force (power). The amount of induced electromotive force is directly proportional to the number of lines per unit square (area).

In FIG. 3 said coil-wire form with a Topological “genus of one” means is shown in an exploded view to further explain away the mounting of said spherical magnet 102 with its axle 103 that is in communication with recessed molded spherical magnet inset well 109 and cavity opening 110. Said axle 103 is mounted into a support well 111 that allows for a smooth movement of said axle 103 in the process of spherical magnet 102 rotation. Said rotation is further enhanced, for a minimum frictional mechanical impedance, by a plurality of unitized molded “standoff bearings” 112. The overall recessed molded spherical magnet inset well 109, is at coil-wire form 101 centre. Said position of spherical magnet is positioned and recessed midway in coil-wire form but is not limited to any alternative position arrangement method means.

As magnetic field lines (a.k.a. flux lines or flux) are increased, the amount of induced voltage in said coil-wire form 101 in FIG. 2 will increase as said spherical magnet 102 is rotated.

Another embodiment of said present invention as shown in FIG. 15 is for a flat (12 mm thick) wall type battery-less and wireless switch transmitter means 300 with a smooth wall or carry about enclosure 301 an having a rocker type flip mechanism means for switching on and off a remote AC electrical load such as a lighting fixture, but not limited to a lighting fixture.

Another embodiment in FIG. 16 is a detailed multi-view of a rocker-rotator method means 302 in communication with its extruded planar perpendicular axle 304 that is in communication with and utilizes a soft and flexible polymer flip finger method means 303, 303B, and 303F to initiate and promote rotation of a spherical magnet method means 102 about its centred axle 103 axis. Said flexible flip finger base 303 is in communication with bending notch 303B and flip finger 303F and upon an operator pushing (pressing) said rocker method means 302 and its consequent flip movement about its axle 304 axis, said flip finger 303F that is in communication with spherical magnet 102 will cause a reaction to spherical magnet and initiate rotation of said spherical magnet in a cyclical direction opposite to the push force direction applied to said rocker 302; likewise the converse action takes place with the opposite side of said rocker 302 is pushed. After said flip finger 303F ends mechanical communication with said spherical magnet 102, said spherical magnet is free to spin for a goodly number of cycles before ceasing rotation due to natural damping frictional forces. This action of said present invention produces enough power from a single flip to generate a voltage level sufficient for several seconds; ample time to power a micro transmitter and send a large amount of encoded digital data to a remote receiver that decodes said data received.

Another embodiment in FIG. 17 shows said rocker 302 that is in communication with its flip finger base 303, its flip finger 303F and said flip finger 303F is bendable in a forward or backward direction by flexible notch section 303B.

Further, pushing the rocker causes a bending around finger notch 303B and moves flip finger means 303F to move on a leftward position 303FL thus establishing a thrust force on said spherical magnet 102 causing a clockwise rotation of said spherical magnet. Conversely, the embodiment of said rocker means 302 in FIG. 18 shows the action of switch activation by pushing the right side of said rocker means 302 that is in communication with flip finger base 303 and whose flip finger means 303F is in flexible communication with spherical magnet 102. Further, pushing the rocker causes a bending around finger notch 303B and moves flip finger means 303F to move on a rightward position 303FR thus establishing a thrust force on said spherical magnet 102 causing an anticlockwise rotation of said spherical magnet.
