Claim Text:
1. An apparatus for the generation of a unidirectional electrical signal, comprising: at least one magnet defining a magnetic field; a rotor disc of substantially no magnetic permeability comprising at least one magnetic field interrupter of magnetically permeable material positioned at a first radial distance from a center axis of the rotor disc, the rotor positioned so as to, upon rotation of the rotor disc, cause the at least one magnetic field interrupter to pass through the magnetic field; and a support frame supporting an electrical conductor extending across the magnetic field, whereby as the at least one interrupter passes through the magnetic field, the magnetic field is distorted by the interrupter thereby inducing a unidirectional electric signal in the conductor; wherein the electrical conductor is operably repositionable about a central axis of the support frame via a fastener operably connected with the conductor and the support frame, the fastener moveable about the central axis of the support frame, such that the conductor moves along with the fastener as the fastener moves about the central axis of the support frame.
