Patent ID: 8350654

Claim:
An electric energy converter for an electric activation source having a positive and a negative pole, and adapted to be connected to a plurality of external loads, at least one of said external loads being connected to the converter by a voltage regulator, comprising: a magnetic core; a primary winding, wound around the magnetic core; a first rectifier bridge coupled to the primary winding in such orientation that a voltage induced in the primary winding is rectified by the first rectifier bridge; a first activation switch connecting a first end of the primary winding to the positive pole of the electric activation source via a diode; a second activation switch connecting a second end of the primary winding to the negative pole of the electric activation source; a secondary winding, wrapped around the primary winding; a second rectifier bridge coupled to the secondary winding in such orientation that a voltage induced in the secondary winding is rectified by the second rectifier bridge; a first output switch coupling the rectified voltage induced in the primary winding to a first of said external loads; a second output switch coupling the rectified voltage induced in the secondary winding to the voltage regulator connecting a second of said external loads to the converter; a first inductive coil wrapped around the magnetic core; a third rectifier bridge coupled to the first inductive coil, in such an orientation that a voltage induced in the first inductive coil is rectified by the third rectifier bridge; a third output switch, for connecting the rectified voltage induced in the first inductive coil to the voltage regulator connecting a third of said external loads to the converter; and a plurality of permanent magnets, movably arranged with respect to the magnetic core, for inducing an alternative magnetic field within the magnetic core upon movement of the permanent magnets.
