Abstract
An energy converter system includes a rotor and a stator configured to be relatively stationary with respect to an environment. One of the rotor and the stator includes a field coil array and braking magnets, while the other of said rotor and said stator includes a permanent magnetic array that is configured to induce an electrical current in the field coil array in response to relative motion of the rotor and the stator. Magnets in the permanent magnetic array are oriented such that like poles of the magnets are disposed adjacently to concentrate a magnetic field through the field coil array. The braking magnets are oriented such that poles of the braking magnets face like poles of the closest respective magnet in the permanent magnetic array.
