BUZZ Generator Small Air motor/generator
This is an option that combines an air motor and alternator into one . This is a simple double acting piston setup with magnets built into the piston itself. The generating coils are on the outside of the piston chamber.. This sytem can be scaled up easily. As long at it is mounted vertically it would be self starting.
Theory of operation: compressed air enters through sidewall of chamber and through the internal port of the piston itself to exit out the top into the expansion chamber.
Expansion causes the piston to move to the other end of the chamber when the air then exits via the exhaust line. When the piston reaches end of travel the opposite side of the piston starts the operation all over again. The bounces the piston back and forth in the chamber causing the magnets to pass back and forth the coils generating electricity.
The alignment bar in the chamber simply keeps the inlet ports on the piston aligned with the inlet ports on the chamber.
The supply air should probably have a inline oiler attached to provide lubrication for the piston.
The device will become cold in operation and electronics should be sealed to prevent moisture do to condensation.
This type system can be scaled up or down to whatever is needed as along as there is enough compressed air available .
The second pic is the magnetic field plot of the magnets in the piston that was created with a program called visimag.
All the magnets in the pic have each section showing have the same end facing out.
Each layer is arranged opposite from the last meaning a layer of all south outward facing magnets then a layer of north outward facing magnets and then back to the south ends again or they can be set up so all of them face the same way . It really doesn’t matter as long as each coil has it’s own fullwave recifier circuit as shown in the drawing.
There are many different ways the magnets and coils can be set up on this system. It could use coils withen iron laminations, straight coils as shown, etc…….
The bottom pic is an animated view so that the operation of the piston is clear.
