Patent ID: 8324748

Claim:
A generator comprising: a rotatable cylindrical pressure vessel, said pressure vessel having an inner and outer surface; a plurality of magnets disposed on said inner surface of said pressure vessel; a biasing structure configured to rotate within, and independently of, said pressure vessel and extending at least partly along a lengthwise dimension of said pressure vessel, said biasing structure having an axis of rotation that is substantially parallel and coincident with a center axis of said pressure vessel, and a center of gravity of said biasing structure at a radius away from said center axis of said pressure vessel; a plurality of armature coils disposed on an outer portion of said biasing structure, said plurality of armature coils positioned such that a relative motion between said magnets and said plurality of armature coils induces a current in said armature coils; a control mechanism configured to control an operating angle of said biasing structure; and a transfer mechanism configured to transfer electrical current from first electrical conductors connected to said armature windings to an outside of said pressure vessel.
