20100283266 | MAGNETIC FIELD POWERED ELECTRICAL GENERATING SYSTEM - A system for generating electricity is provided. The system uses magnetic and potential energy inherent in the magnets and weight of a magnet wheel of a magnetic drive unit which converts this energy into kinetic energy and torque applied to a drive shaft, which then drives an electrical alternator. The magnetic wheel is a fly wheel made from non-magnetic material having a unique arrangement of magnets around its periphery. An electromagnet is powered by a switch that is activated by a magnetic flux of permanent magnets arranged on the magnet wheel. Once the wheel and drive shaft are rotating at a steady-state rotational speed, the pulsating excitation of electromagnets pulls the permanent magnets on the magnet wheel, which keeps the wheel and ultimately the integral drive shaft rotating. The rotation of the drive shaft enables the alternator to generate electricity. | 11-11-2010 |
20120104767 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENGINE STARTING - A system for improving engine starting is disclosed. In one example, an engine starting is improved by providing a predictable load to the engine during engine starting. The predictable load may be provided by controlling alternator field voltage during the engine start. | 05-03-2012 |
20120104768 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR IMPROVED ENGINE SPEED CONTROL DURING ENGINE STARTING - A system for improving engine starting is disclosed. In one example, an engine starting is improved by providing a variable load to the engine during engine starting. The variable load may be provided by controlling alternator field current during the engine start. | 05-03-2012 |
20120228884 | ELECTRICAL POWER INITIATOR SYSTEM AND METHOD - The disclosed system, device and method for an electrical power initiator generally includes: a starter in communication with a trigger system and a generator, wherein the trigger is configured to activate the starter in response to an accelerating force and the generator is configured to produce electrical power in response to the activation of the starter. | 09-13-2012 |
20130249219 | BATTERY PACK AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME - One embodiment of the present invention relates to a battery pack and a method of controlling the battery pack, and more particularly, to a battery pack receiving a charging current from a power generation module and a method of controlling the battery pack. In the battery pack, when an output voltage of the power generation module is higher than a rated voltage of a main battery and a rated voltage of a sub-battery is higher than the rated voltage of the main battery, an energy loss may be reduced. | 09-26-2013 |
20140035291 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ENGINE STARTING - A system for improving engine starting is disclosed.

20140084598 | POWER GENERATION SYSTEM THAT OPTIMIZES THE POWER PROVIDED TO START A GENERATOR - Some embodiments relate to a power generation system. The power generation system includes a first generator and a first battery charger. The first battery charger is adapted to charge a first battery and a second battery. The first battery and the second battery are each adapted to provide power to start the first generator. The power generation system further includes a controller that determines a state of charge for each of the first battery and the second battery. Based on the state of charge for each of the first battery and the second battery, the controller determines which of the first battery and the second battery receives charging current from the first battery charger. | 03-27-2014 |
20140110951 | DOUBLE SOURCE BATTERY CHARGER - A system and method for a double source battery charger of an engine-generator. The double source battery charger of the engine-generator includes an electric starter and a battery. The electric starter is selectively energized by the battery to start an engine of the engine-generator. The double source charger maintains the battery at a desired charge such that the battery has sufficient charge to energize the electric starter. The double source battery charger is selectively coupled to one of two power sources to charge the battery: an alternator of the engine-generator and an external AC source, such as a standard 120 Volt or 240 Volt wall outlet. As a result, the battery is charged by either power from a wall outlet or, if the generator is running, by power provided from the alternator. | 04-24-2014 |
