Patent ID: 8247918

Claim:
A power generation coupler comprising: (a) at least one generator responsive to a generator drive shaft; (b) at least one gyrator element adjustably coupled to said generator drive shaft; (c) at least one non-rotational gyrator support element securing said gyrator element to at least one coupler drive shaft track spanning a rotating element such that said gyrator element is adjustable along said rotating element's surface; (d) at least one load engagement device responsive to a coupler controller so as to load and/or un-load said gyrator element onto the surface of said rotating element in response to at least one output parameter; and (e) at least one gyrator position calibrator to which said coupler drive shaft track is responsive and responsive to said coupler controller so as to dynamically adjust said gyrator element adjustably coupled to at least one generator drive shaft along the surface of said rotating element in response to at least one output parameter.
