Patent ID: 6998723

Claim:
An electrical generating system, comprising: an electric motor coupled to a external power source; a variable coupling connected to an output shaft of the motor; a switching mechanism for adjusting the variable coupling; a gear assembly connected to the variable coupling; and an electrical generator connected to the gear assembly; wherein the variable coupling comprises opposed first and second plates each having permanent magnets affixed thereto, wherein the first plate is connected to the output shaft of the motor and includes radially positioned, spaced apart permanent magnets extending therefrom, and the second plate is in spaced relation to the first plate and includes radially positioned, spaced apart permanent magnets extending therefrom so as to extend between the permanent magnets of the first plate, wherein extension of the permanent magnets on at least one of the plates is adjustable, whereby the rotation of the first plate by the motor causes the second plate to rotate by repulsive magnetic force.
