Patent ID: 7342337

Claim:
A power generating system, comprising: a torque converter system receiving a rotational motion having an input torque from a source and producing a plurality of rotational outputs each having an output torque, the torque converter comprising: at least one flywheel rotatable about a first axis, each flywheel including a first body portion, a first plurality of magnets mounted in the first body portion, each of the first plurality of magnets extending along a corresponding radial direction with respect to the first axis, and a second plurality of magnets mounted in the first body portion, each of the second plurality of magnets being located between a corresponding adjacent pair of the first plurality of magnets, each flywheel receiving the rotational motion having the input torque; and a plurality of generator disks, each generator disk including a second body portion, and a third plurality of magnets within the second body portion magnetically coupled to the first and second pluralities of magnets of one of the flywheels, each generator disk coupled to produce one of the rotational outputs; a plurality of transfer systems, each coupled to one of the plurality of rotational outputs; and a plurality of generator systems, each coupled to one of the transfer systems.
