M-CAM — Ultra-Efficient “Mjolnir Curvilinear Air-Motor Generator Set”

Elegant minimalist design eliminates most of the working parts traditionally associated with internal combustion engine-generator sets; and offers greatly improved energy efficiency for a variety of applications using electrical power.

Design Concept

Imagine a portable electrical power generating system with no gearbox, no transmission, no carburetor or other fuel feeds. Yet, it converts gas pressure mechanical force energy fed to it into electrical power in one step. With the elegance of absolute simplicity, this concept makes traditional internal-combustion powered electrical generators look like wasteful and extravagant indulgences.

The traditional method of providing rotational mechanical power and torque to run an electric generator is the internal combustion engine, which uses up to 65% of the energy potentially available from the fuel just to move all of the engines parts, such as pistons and cams, plus what is wasted generating excess heat. Then, the mechanical transmission uses 6%, the accessory loads 2%, and idling losses come to about 11%, leaving about 16% of the energy actually converted from the stored chemical energy in the fuel used to produce torque at the crankshaft.

There is a lot wrong with that 100-year-old picture. It should be retired as a relic of the era from wince it came. 21st century technology is here, now. It’s time to make a change.

The M-CAM is a new concept for making electrical power which demonstrates a vastly improved efficiency when compared to traditional methods. The M-CAM concept, inspired by knowledge of the seed concepts and a short acquaintance with another forward thinking innovator, pursued the notion of a curvilinear dynamo with very few component parts. Since conceptualization of the M-CAM in the early 1990's, the unique design concept has proved to capable of eliminating:

Though the MCAM will weigh only approximately 50 pounds, the gas pressure powered motor is capable of generating up to 300,000 watts of electricity without creating any pollution.

The design combines the continuous one-directional rotation of alternating polarity magnets in a rotor which magnetically pulse electrical power generator coils which in turn provide electricity to perform useful work. The machine is powered by a high pressure gas used to propel the rotor through the continuous torus track. This magnet-to-inductor coil interaction directly produces electricity. The high pressure compressed gas propellant can be supplied from standard air compression or from the expansion of an inert element such as Liquid Nitrogen as it flashes to a high pressure gas above minus 250̊F. With a non-explosive gas to cushion the moving parts, there is virtually no wearing of interference surfaces. And, because this gas-motor-generator set (MG-Set) is designed to produce High Voltage AC Power, there is no transmission; a power cable used to transmit the generated electric power.

Forced through torus track, at full gas pressure, the magnet rotor travels through the center-hole of each of a series of copper wire power output generator coils. The alternating polarity magnetic lines of flux of the rotors magnets, strike the copper wire power output generator coils with a never before utilized magnetic field orientation providing an improved magnetic-mechanical interactive relationship efficiency between magnets and coils for the generation of electrical power.

To optimize performance parameters for the intended application, the M-CAM can be easily adjusted with the appropriate instrumentation by controlling gas pressure and volume.

If more electrical power is demanded, gas propellant horse power can be increased to provide enough mechanical power to maintain magnet rotor RPM, which controls the voltage and frequency for varying electrical power loads.

The M-CAM produces instant full power operation starting from zero RPM. The instrumentation controls automatically compensate for variances in electrical demand.

The M-CAM is capable of virtually silent operation; however, air compressors are noisy and require acoustical housings to reduce sound level. Whatever the sound level chosen by the user for his application, one thing is certain: the electric motors turning wheels and performing other work, will not need mufflers.

When air is compressed, the molecules rub together, creating heat. When the compressed air performs expansion into an expansion chamber, the air becomes cold. So, when running, instead of heating up, the M-CAM actually gets colder by its operation. This attribute will help to cool the electrical power output coils.

A careful analysis of the simplicity of the M-CAM reveals a huge reduction in cost to manufacture and deploy these electrical power generator systems. Compared to internal combustion engines, far fewer parts are needed, and those few required parts will last much longer.
