Patent ID: 8222770

Claim:
A device for generating alternating current electricity comprising: a base; a plurality of solar cell pairs supported on the base, each solar cell pair connected in anti-parallel and defining an a/c junction, the plurality of solar cells connected to each other through their a/c junctions, the a/c junction connection defining a first a/c output terminal as one half of the a/c junction connection and a second a/c output as another half of the a/c junction connection; a motor supported by the base; and a disc coupled to the motor for rotation by the motor, the disc having a plurality of spaced apart cutouts defining a series of openings and continuities, the disc situated over the plurality of solar cell pairs such that rotation of the disc by the motor rotates the openings and continuities alternately over the plurality of solar cell pairs whereby alternating current electricity is generated at the first and second a/c output terminals.
