Abstract:
1. A magnetic electron exciter, comprising: a rotor adapted to be rotated within a preselected range of rotational speeds; a plurality of magnets mounted in said rotor preselected distances from the rotational axis of said rotor; first and second coil support members disposed on opposite sides of said rotor and being movably supported to axially converge and diverge relative to the opposite sides of said rotor; a plurality of first coils mounted in said first coil support member, and a plurality of second coils mounted in said second coil support member, whereby rotation of said rotor relative to said first and second coils creates an electrical current in said first and second coils; first and second electrodes spaced apart a predetermined distance and electrically connected with said first and second coils to create an arc between said electrodes when said rotor is rotated relative to said first and second coils; a screw threadedly connected with said first and second coil support members, such that rotation of said screw simultaneously converges and diverges said first and second coils in an axial direction relative to the opposite sides of said rotor to vary the characteristics of said arc created between said electrodes; and a rotary motor operably connected with said screw, and rotating said screw in opposite directions to automatically converge and diverse said first and second coils relative to the opposite sides of said rotor.
