Definitions

• the object I have in view is to produce a dynamo or magneto electric machine in which the iron core of the armature will not be necessary and the loss of power caused by the heating of the same will be avoided, only the inductive portion of the armature being passed between the poles of the exciting magnet or magnets, which poles can consequently be brought close together, so as to produce an intense magnetic field; and my object is, further, to construct a machine of this character so that it will generate a continuous current of high electro-motive force in the same direction without the use of pole-changers. All the inductive portions of the armature will be constantly in circuit, and the internal resistance of the machine will be exceedinglysmall.
• These radial sections, which form the inductive portion of the armature, are preferably naked copper bars connected together by insulating material and attached rigidly to the driving'shaft by an insulating-hub. At their inner ends these bars are connected in pairs, preferably by means of metal plates insulated from each other, which plates have tongues secured in the grooves of an insulating commutator-cylinder.
• the ra dial bars revolve between the polar extensions of a magnet or magnets, (two magnets being preferred for this purpose,) and outside of such polar extensions the disk formed of radial bars and insulating material is surrounded by concentric metal rings, which are insulated from each other and the radial bars, except as hereinafter explained.
• the number of the rings is one-half that of the radial bars.
• the pairs of bars are connected in multiple are at their (N0 model.)
• the rings are complete, and extend in both directions from and to the connecting bands, straps, or rods, so that the plates are connected in multiple are, half the currentpassing in each direction. This makes a more symmetrical and stronger construction than if partial rings were used, and the resistanre is less.
• the current, commencing at the negative commutator brush or spring, is divided into two parts, each of which parts passes through one-half of the radial bars and combines with the other part at the positive commutator brush or spring. In this manner all the bars are continually kept in circuit and a current is generated having an electro-motive force due to one-half the length of all the plates.
• the concentric rings are arranged outside of the polar extensions so that such extensions can be brought close up to the inductive bars, while the rings are nearly outside of the magnetic field, and do not cut the lines of force at right angles, and consequently have no counter effect upon the electro-motive force of the current.
• the radial bars could be cut away at three or more points to make room for metallic arms, in order to strengthen the armature, without seriously detracting from the efficiency of the machine.
• Figure l is an elevation of the revolving armature with the commutator in section, the connections of the radial bars with the commutator being shown diagrammatically; Fig.2, acentral horizontal section of the machine, and Fig. 3 a perspective view of the machine.
• a A and B 13 are the polar extensions of the electromagnets A B, which are preferably arranged, as shown, on opposite sides of the driving-shaft O.
• the radial naked copper bars which are numbered 1 to 16, inclusive, are mounted upon a hub, D, secured to the shaft and properly insulated from such shaft. Sixteen radial bars are shown for purposes of illustration; but the number might be more or less, according to the size of the machine. These bars arejoined edgewise by a non-conducting material, so that they form a rigid disk or plate.
• The. radial bars are turned outwardly at their lower ends and connected thereby, or by rods, with plates E, which are insulated from each other and have tongues 0, two of which are shown in Fig. 2, extending outwardly and forming the conducting portions of the commutator-cylinder F.
• radial bars are connected with each plate E, and by it connected with the nearest central commutator-bar.
• pairs 1 and 8, 2 and 11, 3 and 10, 4 and 13, 5 and 12, 6 and 15, 7 and 1 1, 9 and 16 are connected together and to central commutator-bars.
• the concentric rings G to G inclusive surround the disk formed by the radial bars, outside of the polar extensions A A B B and are separated from such disks and one another by a suitable insulating material.
• the radial bars are connected in couples by these rings, bands, straps, or rods H being used for that purpose.
• bars 1. and 11 are connected by ring G, 8 and 15 by G,
• the neutral line extends vertically through the center of the armature, while the commutator brushes or springs P N make contact with the sides of the commutator-cylinder at the ends of its horizontal diameter, the bars next to the neutral line being connected with the central side commutator bars, as shown and previously explained.
• the currents in the radial bars as shown in Fig. 1, all run inwardly, while those on the right-hand side flow outwardly. In the position shown one portion of the current would pass from the negative to the positive comm utator-brush, ma 1, G, 11, 2, G 12, 5, G 14, 7, G and 16 and the other portion via. 8, G 15, 6, G 13, 4, G
• a magneto or dynamo electric machine or electric engine having, in combination, the armature constructed of radial bars connected in pairs at their inner ends with the commutator-bars and suitable connections of different pairs at the outer ends of the radial bars, whereby the radial bars will all be kept continuously in circuit, substantially as set forth.
