A power generator assembly including a rotating part and a non-rotating part is provided. It is proposed that the rotating part includes first and second, circumferentially adjacent generator units. Each generator unit includes at least one coil, at least one permanent magnet and two pole shoes having pole surfaces facing radially outward. The non-rotating part includes an arc-shaped saddle adaptor of ferromagnetic material arranged with a radial distance to the pole surfaces. The saddle adaptor is configured to close a magnetic circuit passing via the pole shoes through the coil in a rotational position where the saddle adaptor overlaps with the pole shoes of a generator unit. According to the invention, a pole shoe of the first generator unit and an adjacent pole shoe of the second generator unit have the same magnetic polarity.

Power generator assembly for rotating applications

The present invention relates to a Voltage converter () for converting an input voltage (V) to an output voltage (V) comprising an input circuitry () for receiving the input voltage (V) from a power supply (), wherein the input circuitry includes chopper means () for chopping a voltage (V) derived from the input voltage (V) at a chopper frequency to a chopped voltage (V), an inductive transformer unit () for transforming the chopped voltage (V) to a chopped AC voltage (V), and an output circuitry () for converting the chopped AC voltage (V) of the inductive transformer unit () to the output voltage (V) having a lower frequency than the chopper frequency.

Universal voltage converter and inductive power coupling

A generator assembly for harvesting energy in a bearing arrangement having a first component and a second component, wherein the first component is configured to rotate in relation to the second component. The generator assembly includes a plurality of coils attached to the first component, wherein the coils are configured to interact with a magnet ring with alternating magnetization directions attached to the second component. In order to achieve an adaptable and flexible design, the coils are placed and oriented such that a winding axis of the coils is oriented in an essentially circumferential direction in relation to a rotation axis of the bearing arrangement.
