Abstract
A tool includes a nonmagnetic tool housing, a cylindrical rotor inside the tool housing and rotatable in response to a flow of pressurized fluid through the tool housing and magnets mounted in the rotor. A stator is positioned on the exterior of the tool housing, and is dimensioned to cooperate with the magnets to, upon rotation of the rotor, generate electrical current for supply to a load. The stator includes an inductor core having opposing ends connected by a middle portion, and a coil wound around the middle portion, where both the inductor core and coil are configured to be arced between the opposing ends about the axis of rotation of the rotor, and the inductor core is configured to provide a consistent gap between the face of the inductor core and the face of each magnet while each magnet is being rotated between positions proximal the opposing ends, the inductor core having a length to enable its opposing ends to each be simultaneously radially aligned with a respective magnet in the rotor to complete a magnetic circuit through the inductor core. The tool also includes a power conditioner receiving the generated electrical current and conditioning the current to be acceptable for supply to a load that comprises one or more logic processing devices.
