Patent ID: 8437159

Claim:
A cam-controlled electromechanical rotary power inverter, comprising: a rotating, AC-generating assembly having a solid, electrically insulated, elongate cylindrical member; a first 360° electrically conductive rotor coaxially disposed on the cylindrical member proximate a top end portion of the cylindrical member; a second 360° electrically conductive rotor coaxially disposed on the cylindrical member proximate a bottom end portion of the cylindrical member; a plurality of arcuately edged, electrically conductive cams extending radially from portions of the cylindrical member at predetermined angular subintervals of a 360° rotation of the cylindrical member, a first predetermined sequence of the cams being electrically connected to the first electrically conductive rotor and a second predetermined sequence of the cams being electrically connected to the second electrically conductive rotor; a plurality of electrical brush conductors disposed around the rotating assembly and arranged for periodic sliding electromechanical contact against the electrically conductive cams; a plurality of DC input voltages, each of the DC input voltages being connected to a corresponding pattern of the brush conductors; a first load-connecting brush riding in continuous contact with the first 360° electrically conductive rotor; a second load-connecting brush riding in continuous contact with the second 360° electrically conductive rotor, the load-connecting brushes delivering a sequence of output voltages to a load, rotation of the assembly causing the remaining brushes to intermittently contact the arcuately edged electrically conductive cams in a patterned sequence sequentially adding the DC input voltages for distribution to the load over the first 180° of rotation, and sequentially subtracting the DC input voltages for distribution to the load over the second 180° of rotation, thereby distributing an Alternating Current output voltage to the load over the 360° of rotation of the rotary assembly.
