Toyota New Product Idea

Submitted 3 years ago

A ferrous belt running around a series of pulley wheels to guide it, with a electric or fossil fuel powered motor below and attached to one of the pulley wheels. Situated around the ferrous belt line of rotation are a number of alternators/generators. The alternators/generators have a number of magnets fixed to its outer side casing from 1 to 8 in quantity. Depending on how free flowing the alternators/generators are this could be only 1 magnet with 3 other non magnetic objects of identical dimensions and weight situated equally around the alternators/generators outer casing to give it enhanced stability when the alternators/generators spin. A mini starter motor may be required above each alternator/generator to get it going. Once the motor is spinning the ferrous belt around its cycle the magnet or magnets on each alternator/generator make brief contact with the ferrous belt, in doing this action the magnets on the alternators/generators only make intermittent contact thus reducing drag and friction. If there are 12 alternators/generators placed around the ferrous belt cycle in a certain way only 3 of them at any one time will make contact but all 12 will be rotating at the same speed. A thought on how it works? Turn a bicycle upside down and spin its wheel then intermittently slap your hands around it to keep its momentum/inertia going or a child's roundabout in a park spins and you keep thrusting it to keep its momentum/inertia going. In the video attached the 3 mini alternators are quite restricted in rotation they don't spin as freely as the one 12v motorbike alternator I have but from the 6v motor turning the ferrous belt I have achieved 1000 rpm of all 3 at once.
