Abstract
Conversion of magnetic flux energy into electrical power with a permanent magnet induction generator (PMIG) comprised of permanent magnets, a magnetic circuit, reluctance switches (magnetic flux switches), and a switching sequence performed by an electrical controller that causes the flux from two opposing, magnetically aligned permanent magnets to be repeatedly alternated through a single flux path for the purpose of generating AC electricity. Energy efficient reluctance switches operation permits the output electrical energy to exceed the energy required to operate them thereby enabling continuous operation that produces uninterrupted electricity without the need for fuel or external energy input.
