The document describes a new generator coil design called the Regenerative Acceleration (ReGen-X) Generator coil. The ReGen-X coil is designed to delay current flow in the coil until after the rotating magnetic field has passed top dead center (TDC). This delayed current flow and magnetic field assists rather than resists the movement of the magnetic field, reversing the usual decelerative effect. By storing energy internally as voltage until TDC and then releasing it, the ReGen-X coil provides an accelerating force on the magnetic field as it moves away from the coil. This increased acceleration and ability to assist magnetic field movement improves generator efficiency by reducing the external torque needed compared to conventional generator coils.

This document provides a disclosure for a regenerative acceleration generator patent. It describes improvements to electrical generator efficiency by utilizing a Regenerative Acceleration (ReGen-X) coil design. The ReGen-X coil is able to delay current flow until the generator's rotor reaches top dead center, where inductive reactance is minimized. This allows the coil's magnetic field to assist rather than resist the rotor's motion, increasing efficiency by reducing the torque needed from the prime mover. The document provides background on conventional generator operation and explains how the ReGen-X coil design functions to reverse the decelerating effects of armature reaction through delayed current flow and flux harvesting between multiple coils.
The document describes a regenerative acceleration generator (RM) that can reverse the polarity of a generator's magnetic field to create acceleration instead of deceleration. It works by storing energy inside the coil like a capacitor rather than outside it like an inductor. When the magnetic field stops at the top of its rotation, the high voltage and low impedance inside the coil produce a delayed magnetic field that pushes the field away and attracts the next field, accelerating the rotation for power generation. This overcomes the normal regenerative braking effect to instead provide a net assistance to motion.

Faraday discovered that changing magnetic fields can induce electric currents in conductors. This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction, underlies the operation of generators and transformers. A generator converts mechanical energy into electrical energy by rotating a coil within a stationary magnetic field, producing alternating current. A transformer works by inducing a changing magnetic field in one coil, which induces an alternating current in a nearby second coil. The relative number of turns in the primary and secondary coils determines whether the transformer steps up or steps down the voltage.

Moving a magnet into or out of a coil of wire induces a current in the wire due to electromagnetic induction. A changing magnetic field induces a voltage in any wire cutting through it, causing a current. The induced voltage and current can be increased by moving the magnet or wire faster, using a stronger magnet, adding more turns to the coil, or using a larger coil area. Generators produce electricity through electromagnetic induction by rotating a coil in a magnetic field. Transformers change the voltage of alternating current by using two coils - a changing magnetic field in one coil induces a voltage in the other.

Sizing generators-for-leading-power-factor white-paper-24_feb14Insanul Aziz
The document discusses sizing generators for leading power factor operation. It explains that leading power factor loads can cause unstable voltage regulation and increased heating in generators. It provides details on power factor, reactive and real power, and how leading power factor loads affect generator excitation and stability differently than lagging loads. The document recommends that generator manufacturers and users work together based on site specifics to select an appropriately sized generator. It suggests testing and protective relaying to ensure stable operation with leading power factor loads.
The document discusses the aim, theory, and process of performing a load test on a three-phase alternator. The aim is to study the load test on a three-phase alternator. Key points made include that alternators are commonly used to generate electrical power and their output voltage depends on factors like load and field excitation. A load test provides information about efficiency and voltage regulation by increasing the alternator's load and measuring changes in voltage, current, input, and output. The conclusion is that the tested alternator showed poor voltage regulation of 15-30% under load, which is undesirable.
Electromagnetic induction occurs when a changing magnetic field induces a current in a conductor. Magnetic flux is the measure of the magnetic field passing through an area. Faraday's law states that an electromotive force (EMF) is induced in a conductor when there is a change in magnetic flux over time. Transformers use this principle to change voltage levels using a primary and secondary coil wound around an iron core. Lenz's law describes how the induced current will flow in a direction that creates an opposing magnetic field to the changing field that created it.
A transformer transfers electrical energy between two or more circuits through electromagnetic induction. It works on the principle of mutual induction between two or more windings due to a changing magnetic field. Transformers are used to increase or decrease alternating voltages in power applications. The primary winding is supplied with alternating current which produces a changing magnetic flux in the transformer core. This changing flux induces a changing voltage in the secondary winding due to electromagnetic induction based on Faraday's law of induction. Real transformers have losses such as core losses from hysteresis and eddy currents, as well as winding resistance losses. Transformers can be modeled using an equivalent circuit to represent these losses and other factors.

The new normal for humanity and physics in 2022 and beyond...Thane Heins
This document describes a method for delaying generator load current and electromagnetic field energy creation in order to perform electricity generation at infinite efficiency. It explains that normally, electromagnetic field energy performs negative work during generation through counter-torque. However, by sufficiently delaying the load current, the electromagnetic field energy can instead perform positive work and accelerate the generator without needing external mechanical input. This is achieved by operating the generator coil at a high enough frequency to delay current flow through parasitic capacitance charging and inductive rise time. This allows electricity to be generated and work to be done with zero external energy input.

Dave remains skeptical and wants his electronics expert Jim Kane to evaluate the technology.
This document introduces ReGen-X, a groundbreaking innovation in electric generator technology developed by Potential Difference Inc. that significantly improves generator efficiency. Independent tests have found the ReGen-X generator needs 40% less input power but delivers over 200% more output power. If incorporated into electric vehicles, the ReGen-X system could more than double their driving range compared to current battery technology. Several major automakers and research institutions have expressed interest and been able to replicate the ReGen-X technology's dramatic effects in increasing generator efficiency.
Thane Heins had an idea in the 1980s about increasing motor efficiency by retarding counter-EMF but was dismissed by his professor. He experimented in his basement in the 2000s and discovered his "Regenerative Acceleration" technology can increase motor output up to 200% by storing magnetic energy from flywheel magnets and releasing it to boost acceleration. The author witnessed a demonstration showing an electric vehicle that gained charge and speed without drawing additional power, challenging conventional understanding of physics but explained by latent energy storage in rare earth magnets. While not creating unlimited free energy, it can extend vehicle range and boost other generator and motor outputs.

Most secondary flux travels through the unsaturated secondary cores, while a small amount flows through the saturated primary core. This allows the BiTT to borrow reactive power from the source on the primary side, while delivering real power to loads on the secondary side.

The document summarizes tests of a regenerative acceleration generator coil conducted by NRC scientist Doug Hartwick on December 15, 2009. The tests show that with a 10 ohm load, the regenerative coil requires a 40.2% decrease in input power compared to a 12.3% increase for a conventional generator, while providing a 223.8% gain in output power. Additionally, with the regenerative coil and no reduction in input, output increased to 16.1 Watts with a 62% reduction in prime mover power consumption compared to a conventional generator producing 0 Watts of output. The conclusions are that the regenerative coil can deliver load power with zero increase in mechanical input power, providing infinite conversion efficiency.
The document summarizes Thane Heins' innovation called Regenerative Acceleration Generator Technology. This innovation allows electric generators to produce electricity while accelerating the system, rather than decelerating it as conventional generators do due to magnetic friction. It works by employing a high impedance generator coil and operating it at a frequency where it behaves as a capacitor rather than an inductor, delaying electric current flow until the optimal moment. This produces a maximum repelling magnetic field that pushes on the receding magnet, assisting the prime mover rather than resisting it. This means the input power required can be reduced, offering benefits like increased electric vehicle range and reduced fuel consumption.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

REGENERATIVE ACCELERATION PATENT DICLOSURE
2. Page 2 of 32
The present invention relates to electrical generators and, in particular, to improvements to
efficiency in electromechanical energy conversion in electrical generators and electric motors.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Faraday's Law governs induction in the motion of a closed current bearing conducting loop through a
magnetic field. This law is formulated, in simple terms, in regard to the motion of such a loop across the
field lines of a uniform magnetic field, which is not the case when multiple loops are in close proximity to
one another and are rotating through a field inside a generator.
Many applications of known motor control theory have developed to adjust or compensate for this
negative unwanted (armature reaction) departure from the simple case.
Lenz’s Law is a law of physics which governs the conventional coil’s resistive and decelerative armature
reaction and is an extension of Newton’s Third Law which states that, “for every action there is an equal
and opposite reaction.”
Where electric generators are concerned this applies when a conducting loop is moved through a
magnetic field and said loop is connected to a load such that electric current flows in the closed loop
circuit.
This electric current flow produces a magnetic field around the loop which creates a counter-
electromotive torque which impedes the loop’s progress through the magnetic field.
Additional external torque must therefore be applied to the rotation of the loop to keep it moving through
the magnetic field or rotation will cease and power delivered to the load will also cease.
The magnitude of the generator’s induced resistive magnetic field around the loop is directly proportional
to the magnitude of current flowing in the loop and to the load.
It is also important to note that the generator coil’s induced repelling magnetic field (equal and opposite
reaction) is simultaneous and in an identical time frame to the action causing it i.e. the approaching
magnetic field which produces the induced voltage in the coil as well as the current flow and external
magnetic field.
The load resistance that is connected to the loop plays an important role in dictating how much current
can flow through the loop.
No current flows with an infinite resistance, no-load condition and maximum current flows with an infinite
load, short circuit condition.
Variations of load magnitude vary the current flow through the loop and dictate what magnitude of
external torque increase must be applied to overcome the loop’s armature reaction (internally-induced
electromagnetic resistance).
When a generator is operating in a no-load condition and rotating at a specified speed, a voltage is being
induced in the generator’s coils but there is an open circuit, infinite resistance connected to the loop and
the loop rotates freely through the magnetic field because no current can flow through it and no armature
reaction is created and minimum external torque must be applied to the loop to keep it rotating.
When an on-load resistive load is connected to the loop, current begins to flow in the loop and a
decelerative armature reaction results in which a self-induced resistive electromagnetic counter-
electromotive torque is produced.
3. Page 3 of 32
This requires additional torque to be supplied to the loop to sustain power to the load and to overcome
the counter-electromotive torque created by the loop’s induced magnetic field which opposes the loop’s
rotation inside the magnetic field.
Multiple loads connected to generators are connected in parallel with the cumulative total approaching an
infinite load/short circuit/maximum current flow/maximum armature reaction condition as described by
Ohm’s Law where:
Rtotal = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 + ... 1/Rn
Loads vary with regard to the phase angle differential (power factor) that they create between the voltage
and current sine waves where the maximum load power factor is created by a worst case scenario of a
purely resistive load and a power factor of 1 or voltage and current in phase with one another.
All load applications implied herein pertain to the worst case scenario and are of a purely resistive nature
transferring maximum power form the generator to the load.
Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law apply equally to a cage wound rotor (loop) rotating through a uniform
stationary magnetic field (or vice versa) and a salient pole round stator coil with an externally rotating
magnetic field (or vice versa). This invention applies to both cases.
The Regenerative Acceleration Generator (ReGen-X) coil according to the present invention, takes
advantage of the structure of a high impedance multiple-loop salient pole winding or low impedance bi-
filar windings to create a positive armature (accelerative) reaction rather than a negative (decelerative)
one as per all typical generators which only have low impedance multiple loops of wire making up their
rotor armature.
All conventional generators operate as inductors and electromagnets when supplying power to a load.
As inductors they store energy in the external electromagnetic field around the coil, and as
electromagnets they simultaneously create a counter-electromagnetic-torque (armature reaction) which
always opposes the generators rotating magnetic field direction and always in the same time domain.
As electromagnets, the conventional generator coil produces a magnetic field with the same polarity and
in the same time domain as the approaching magnetic field which in turn instantly resists the rotor’s
approaching magnetic field and resists its departure equally vigorously when the current in the coil
changes direction and the coil’s magnetic field polarity is reversed.
For all intents and purposes, the duty cycle of current flow in a conventional generator coil is 360
degrees, meaning it is always flowing [except very briefly at Top Dead Centre (TDC) when falls to zero
very briefly before it changes direction] and producing resistive internal forces.
For example when the rotor’s North magnetic pole approaches the conventional generator coil the voltage
induced in the coil increases which in turn increases the current flowing through the load which in turn
increases the coil’s induced repelling North pole magnetic field/armature reaction. See FIGUREs 8
a,b,c,d.
4. Page 4 of 32
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The Regenerative Acceleration (ReGen-X) Generator coil takes advantage of the structure of the
multiple-coil salient pole winding by utilizing specially wound wire coil configurations to store potential
energy internally and electrostatically briefly inside the coil as voltage rather than externally and
instantaneously in the electromagnetic field as per a conventional generator coil.
It is the conventional generator coil’s induced resistive electromagnetic field that manifests itself instantly
between the generator coil and the approaching rotor magnet which is responsible for the negative
deceleration effects created by all typical generators when supplying power to a load.
Reducing or even eliminating this negative effect would have an overall benefit of increasing the
generator’s efficiency by mitigating the internally created electromagnetic resistance and reducing the
additional external torque (and energy) which is always required to overcome it.
The ReGen-X does not reduce or eliminate these negative effects but reverses them instead by delaying
current flow in the coil until the rotating magnetic field reaches TDC.
In comparison to the conventional coil design which employs large gauge windings with the aim of
minimizing losses within the coil (q.v.) the ReGen-X coil can use relatively small gauge wire, which leads
to many more turns being used in a ReGen-X coil than in a conventional coil.
A bi-filar wound coil may also be employed which reduces the turns ratio and coil’s internal resistance to
that closely resembling a conventional coil. If a non bi-filar generator coil winding is employed a step
down transformer may also be required.
One consequence of both of these coil winding techniques/design characteristics is to raise the self-
induced capacitance of the coil while modifying its higher excitation-frequency behavior (as described in
further detail below) to create a delayed and accelerative armature reaction.
At TDC an approaching magnetic field is as close as it is going to get to a generator coil’s core and it is at
this position that the maximum voltage or electro-motive-force (EMF) is induced in the coil.
When the coil is connected to a load in an on-load condition, the result is maximum current flow and
maximum electromagnetic field energy stored externally around the coil, with maximum electromagnetic
resistance being produced.
This necessitates a maximum additional torque and work to be supplied externally by the prime mover if
system deceleration avoidance is desired.
Also at TDC, the induced current in the coil is changing direction and the repelling magnetic field changes
polarity to a maximum magnitude attractive magnetic field which opposes the rotor magnet’s departure
away from the coil’s core, again necessitating additional externally applied torque and power to keep the
rotating magnetic field moving away without deceleration.
If the current flow in the conventional generator coil can be delayed until TDC or even after it as per the
ReGenX coil then Lenz’s Law, Newton’s Third Law and the Law of Conservation of Energy no longer
apply in the simple manner as expected to the operation of the conventional coil because their
foundations are based on unrestricted and continuous current flow in the same time domain.
If current flow can be delayed until after TDC, Lenz’s Law can even provide a reversed accelerative on-
load effect than is commonly expected with the decelerative on-load effect. (For the purposes of this
discussion typical time delays regarding core hysteresis do not apply).
If current flow in the generator coil can be delayed until after the rotating magnetic field has already
moved past the coil’s core at TDC, the rotor’s magnetic field can approach the coil unimpeded and
5. Page 5 of 32
without the effects normally prescribed to it by the usual application of Lenz’s Law (i.e an equal and
opposite resistive reaction in the same time domain) to generator behavior because this simple
interpretation of Lenz’s Law’s operation is dependent on continuous current flow in a generator coil and
an instantaneous repelling magnetic field.
The premise behind the operation of the Regenerative Acceleration Generator (ReGen-X) coil is that the
generator coil’s delayed current flow and subsequent delayed electromagnetic field can assist (rather
than resist) the generator rotor's rotating magnetic field's approach to the generator coil and departure
away from the generator coil by delaying current flow in the coil until after TDC by 45 degrees when
compared to a conventional generator coil.
The ReGen-X coil operation is similar to that of a capacitor where energy is stored internally in the
electrostatic field inside the coil between the wires rather than in the external magnetic field as per a
conventional generator coil which operates as an inductor.
This internally-stored, delayed and then instantaneously released magnetic field is responsible for the
ReGen-X generator coil’s accelerating and assistive force and Lenz’s Law reversal when supplying power
to a load.
Embodiments of the present invention are based on this observation and many further refinements will
become apparent as described in detail below.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The moment when the equivalent rotating magnet representing the coil is neither approaching nor
receding is referred to as 'top dead center' or TDC (Fig 0B). At TDC the maximum potential energy
(EMF/voltage) is induced in the generator coil. At TDC, the generator's rotating magnetic field is neither
approaching nor receding from the coil and as far as the generator coil's inductive reactance is concerned
(AC resistance to current flow) it is zero. However, the instant just prior to TDC, maximum current is
flowing in the coil and maximum electromagnetic resistance is being produced.
As the generator's rotor transitions though TDC, it moves through a region of maximum coil-induced,
repelling electromagnetic resistance (rotor magnet approaching just prior to TDC) to zero induced
electromagnetic resistance (directly at TDC) to maximum induced attractive or resistive electromagnetic
field as the rotor magnet attempts to move away from just past TDC.
This is depicted in figures 8 a,b,c,d at the apex of the sine wave at the TDC position (AC current sine
wave apex). The current flow in the coil must cease at TDC just prior to moving in the other direction, not
unlike the action of a pendulum. When the current flow ceases, the resistive forces produced by the coil
and the effects usually expected as a consequence of Lenz’s Law also must cease because they rely on
current flow to exist and manifest themselves.
In a generator coil at TDC, the normal consequences of Lenz’s Law are suspended and therefore many
limitations to the present system normally expected from Newton’s Third Law are suspended because
current flow in the coil stops just prior to changing direction post-TDC where all the expected rules of
generator dynamics resume functioning. While current flow in the conventional coil ceases at TDC the
effects are not manifested due to the conventional coils’ time constant.
In the conventional generator coil, current flow ceases at TDC but in the ReGen-X coil maximum current
flow exists because at TDC, the AC impedance of the coil is at its minimum, and the induced voltage in
the coil is at its maximum.
At TDC, the maximum induced voltage in the ReGen-X coil can be dissipated through the coil via current
flow which creates a maximum delayed magnetic field of maximum magnitude having the same repelling
polarity as the now receding rotor magnetic field and an attracting polarity to the opposite approaching
magnetic pole on the rotor.
6. Page 6 of 32
When compared to a conventional generator coil where the maximum repelling magnetic field occurs just
prior to TDC and just post TDC the ReGenX generator coil’s maximum repelling magnetic field occurs at
45 degrees past TDC.
In essence the rotor’s magnetic field is already past the coil’s core and already moving away when
current flow and repelling magnetic field peak and assist its departure.
The inventor of the present generator has observed that all prior art generators exhibit the behavior (see
Fig 4b) in that the rotating loop, in the close (in the angular sense) neighbourhood parallel to the field
lines of the external, or stator, field, exhibit no inductive behavior whatsoever because no magnetic field
lines are being cut. In such a neighbourhood, hereinafter referred to as 'top dead center' or TDC, the flow
of current in the loop ceases with respect to the conventional coil, just prior to changing direction and thus
the Lenz effects have no consequence. The coil's impedance to current flow is only governed by the DC
resistive behavior of the loop of wire and the resistance of the load connected to the loop. Where the
ReGen-X coil is concerned, however, maximum current flows because the otherwise highly restrictive
impedance to current flow is minimized.
At TDC the rotating magnetic field is neither approaching nor receding and at this moment the total coil
inductive reactance drops to zero and the total impedance of the coil drops to the low DC resistance of
the coil because the total coil impedance is determined by frequency of operation as shown below.
TOTAL INDUCTIVE REACTANCE (XL) OF A GENERATOR COIL:
XL = 2 π F L
where: XL is the total inductive reactance
F is the operating frequency of the coil
L is the inductance of the coil
As can be deduced from the above equation, as the operating frequency of the coil is increased, the coil's
inductive reactance must also increase.
TOTAL IMPEDANCE (ZT) OF A GENERATOR COIL:
ZT = XL + RDC + XC
where: XL is the total inductive reactance of the coil
RDC is the DC resistance of the coil windings
XC is the capacitive reactance of the coil
As can be deduced from the above equation, as the inductive reactance of the coil is increased, the total
impedance of the coil must also increase.
If we employ Ohm's Law which states that:
I = V/ ZT
We can deduce that, as the coil impedance increases, the current flow decreases accordingly.
At TDC with regards to the ReGen-X COIL, Vinduced is maximum, ZT is minimum, I is maximum and the
coil’s induced magnetic field is also maximum.
With regards to a conventional generator coil, current I is zero at TDC because at that exact moment it is
changing direction, but maximum just prior and just post TDC.
7. Page 7 of 32
At TDC the induced voltage in any generator coil is maximum. Consequently, maximum voltage and
lowest coil impedance coexist simultaneously at certain points during the AC cycle of the present
invention. Generators of the prior art all do this but the behavior is not noticeable because coil impedance
is designed to be minimized.
At TDC, the ReGen-X coil’s delayed maximum magnitude magnetic field pushes away on the now
already receding rotor magnet, while attracting the next approaching opposite pole magnet on the rotor.
1. The present invention is a generator coil with sufficient inductance, impedance and self-induced
capacitance when operated at a sufficient frequency which will, in the regions prior to TDC, disallow
current to flow in the coil or to store energy externally around the coil in the electromagnetic field as an
inductor, but will force the coil to store useful energy internally in the electrostatic field capacitively.
At the moment of TDC, this maximum internally-stored energy is released as a magnetic field of identical
polarity to the receding rotor magnetic field with its full instantaneous force being exerted upon the
magnet pole at the 45 degree mark because the coil’s capacitively stored voltage and resultant current
flow takes time due to the ReGenX coil’s time constant.
Five known benefits result:
i. The receding magnetic field is accelerated away from the coil faster than it otherwise would be.
ii. The next opposite magnetic pole on the rotor is attracted to the coil by the additional force.
iii. Electric current delivers power to the load.
iv. The energy required to be delivered by the prime mover decreases accordingly.
v. More power can be delivered by the ReGen-X coil over a conventional coil without overheating
danger because the ReGen-X coil’s duty cycle has been significantly reduced and the coil has
time to dissipate heat between the AC current pulses.
The ReGen-X coil has more than six different modes of operation which can be employed at any time and
in any combination with a plurality of coils via electronic or manual switching of the coil configurations
such as:
i. Parallel wound, parallel connected bi-filar wound motor coil.
ii. Parallel wound, series connected bi-filar wound motor coil.
iii. Parallel wound, parallel connected bi-filar wound conventional (system decelerating) coil.
iv. Parallel wound, series connected bi-filar wound ReGen-X (system accelerating) coil.
v. High Impedance ReGen-X coil.
vi. Any of the above employed in concert with a step up or step down transformer.
ReGenX Coil Flux Harvesting
2. In a further embodiment, when operated as a plurality of salient or independent coils, subject to
particular positioning of the coils, (as described in greater detail below) the discharging flux from the
ReGen-X coil can be collected into the adjacent coils operating as ReGen-X coils or conventional coils
and the net flux in the coils is additive, including the rotor flux plus the induced flux from other coils,
comprising a mode hereinafter referred to as flux harvesting.
3. In yet another embodiment of the present invention, flux harvesting as described above also applies in
a ReGen-X coil adjacent to a motor coil such that the discharging magnetic field form the motor coil can
be collected in the ReGen-X coil and the net power consumption by the motor coil reduced significantly.
Why does an inductor behave as a capacitor at certain frequencies?
http://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/25683/why-does-an-inductor-behave-as-a-capacitor-at-
high-frequencies
8. Page 8 of 32
An ideal inductor would not behave like a capacitor, but in the real world there are no ideal components.
Basically, any real inductor can be thought of an ideal inductor that has a resistor in series with it (wire
resistance) and a capacitor in parallel with it (parasitic capacitance).
Now, where does the parasitic capacitance come from? an inductor is made out of a coil of insulated wire,
so there are tiny capacitors between the windings (since there are two sections of wire separated by an
insulator). Each section of windings is at a slightly different potential (because of wire inductance and
resistance).
As the frequency increases, the impedance of the inductor increases while the impedance of the parasitic
capacitor decreases, so at some high frequency the impedance of the capacitor is much lower than the
impedance of the inductor, which means that the inductor behaves like a capacitor. The inductor also has
its own resonance frequency.
This is why some high frequency inductors have their windings far apart - to reduce the capacitance.
Capacitors have two conductive plates separate by an insulator. The turns of wire in a coil can also create
a capacitor because between each turn of wire there are two conductors separated by an insulator, which
can be air, enamel, ceramic, etc. When the right frequency is applied to the inductor, the inter-turn
capacitance can create a resonant circuit. This inter-turn capacitance only happens with AC and not DC
because inductors are a short with DC.
Figure 1 shows the parasitic capacitance that exists across the windings of an inductor.
Figure 1. Parasitic Capacitance across an inductive winding
The Non-Ideal Inductor
In general, inductors are more problematic than capacitors.
The parasitic elements are:
1) resistance within the leads and the wire of the inductor,
2) capacitance between the leads and between the loops of wire, and
3) the equivalent resistance corresponding to core losses (if the inductor uses a ferromagnetic core).

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
As stated above, Faraday's Law governs induction in the motion of a closed current-bearing conducting
loop through a magnetic field. This law only applies simply (without geometrical modification) with regard
to the motion of such a loop across the field lines of a uniform magnetic field.
In a typical generator or motor, multiple loops are in close proximity to one another and are rotating
through the stator magnetic field or are placed on salient generator coils. The net induced magnetic fields
produced around each current-bearing wire produces a negative effect according to Lenz's law which
states that "when an EMF (voltage) is generated by a change in magnetic flux according to Faraday's
Law, the polarity of the induced EMF is such that it produces a current (when the coil is connected to a
load) whose induced magnetic field polarity opposes the change which produces it." Figure 27 shows how
the induced magnetic field inside any loop of wire always acts to try to keep the magnetic flux through the
loop constant. ( http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/electric/farlaw.html )
CONVENTIONAL COIL OPERATION WITH AN APPROACHING MAGNETIC NORTH POLE
As a magnetic North pole approaches a coil, its magnetic field intersecting with the coil increases and
causes an electromotive force (‘EMF’ or voltage) to be induced across the coil, in accordance with
Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law, as given by Equation (1.1), where we take advantage of the fact that
since flux for a coil is given by NAB┴ where B┴ represents magnetic field perpendicular
to the coil and the number of turns of the coil N and perpendicular area A remain constant, to obtain the
second form given
= -d/dt = - NAd/B┴dt (1.1)
This EMF in turn causes an electric current to flow through any load connected across the coil as well as
through the coil windings, as shown in Figure 6. A ferrous core placed coaxially in the coil acts to
concentrate, magnify, resist (core hysteresis, reluctance) and guide the flux through the centre of the coil.
In accordance with Lenz’s Law, the induced EMF acts to resist the change in magnetic field in the
Coil, and hence the current flowing in the coil acts so as to attempt to make the end of the coil nearest to
the approaching magnet a magnetic North pole [as is indicated by the ‘−’ sign in Equation (1.1) and
illustrated in Figure 6].
This induced EMF continues to be generated (along with its associated current) until the magnet is at its
minimum distance from the centre of the core (TDC).
It is worth noting at this point that the present convention for the design of coils for use in generators is
that their internal DC resistance is minimized (through using wire of a relatively large diameter) with the
aim of minimizing Joule-heating losses in them.
Joule-heating is a function of current flow duty cycle and the duty cycle of a conventional coil is 100%, or
a full 360 degrees of the sine wave with the slightest exception at TDC when the current stops briefly only
to resume flowing in the opposite direction.
The ReGen-X coil avoids Joule-heating problems because, when operated above the critical minimum
frequency, the ReGen-X coil current flow duty cycle is restricted only to the small moment at TDC and the
coil has time to cool over the remainder of the duty cycle.

CONVENTIONAL COIL OPERATION WITH A RECEDING MAGNETIC NORTH POLE
As the magnetic North pole passes its minimum distance from the centre of the core and starts to recede
from the coil, its magnetic field intersecting with the coil decreases and again causes an electromotive
force (‘EMF’) to be induced across the coil, in accordance with Faraday’s Law and Lenz’s Law, as given
by Equation (1.1). This EMF in turn causes an electric current to flow through any load connected across
the coil as shown in Figure 7.
In accordance with Lenz’s Law, the induced EMF once more acts to resist the change in magnetic field in
the coil, and hence the current flowing in the coil acts so as to attempt to make the end of the coil nearest
to the approaching magnet a magnetic South pole [as is indicated by the ‘−’ sign in Equation (1.1) and
illustrated in Figure 7]. This means that the current flows through the coil in the opposite direction to that
shown in Figure 6.
This process continues while the next pole on the rotor (a magnetic South pole) approaches (the coil’s
core and is resisted in its attempt to do so) its minimum distance from the centre of the core, and then the
current reverses once more until a North pole is at the minimum distance position.
This process is continually repeated in the conventional coil whereby the conventional coil's direction of
current flow is always producing an externally-induced magnetic field around the coil which resists the
rotor magnet's departure from the coil while simultaneously resisting the opposite pole's approach with an
infinitesimally small respite at TDC when the current direction changes.
ReGen-X COIL CONSTRUCTION
In comparison to the conventional coil design which employs large gauge windings with the aim of
minimizing resistive losses within the coil (q.v.) the ReGen-X coil can use relatively small gauge wire, and
this leads to many more turns being used in a ReGen-X coil than in a conventional coil. A consequence of
this design characteristic is to raise the inductance of the coil so that above a certain frequency the
current flow is delayed until TDC while the self-induced capacitance is increased. The high inductance,
high impedance, high DC resistance variant of the ReGen-X coil produces a large repelling magnetic field
and useful increases of kinetic energy and motive force into the system but they do not deliver much
useable electrical energy because it is primarily consumed by the high DC resistance of the coil itself.
The same “acceleration under load” effects can be achieved equally well by employing the bi-filar coils as
previously described without requiring small gauge wire, or a large turns ratio. This IP variation provides
large additions of positive motive force/kinetic energy into the system with useable electrical power being
delivered to a load.
At a certain critical excitation frequency c the reactance of the coil due to its:
1. Inductance XL becomes relatively large in magnitude; and,
2. Mutual capacitance between turns, Xc, becomes relatively small in magnitude.
The capacitance between individual wire turns of the coil, called parasitic capacitance, does not cause
energy losses but can change the behavior of the coil. Each turn of the coil is at a slightly different
potential, so the electric field between neighbouring turns stores charge on the wire, so the coil acts as if
it has a capacitor in parallel with it. At a high enough frequency this capacitance can resonate with the
inductance of the coil forming a tuned circuit, causing the coil to become self-resonant.
For example, an inductor often acts as though it includes a parallel capacitor, because of its closely
spaced windings. When a potential difference exists across the coil, wires lying adjacent to each other at
different potentials are affected by each other's electric field. They act like the plates of a capacitor, and
store charge. Any change in the voltage across the coil requires extra current to charge and discharge
these small 'capacitors'. When the voltage changes only slowly, as in low-frequency circuits, the extra
current is usually negligible, but when the voltage changes quickly the extra current is larger and can be
11. Page 11 of 32
significant.
The inventor’s proposition is that this means (for all practical purposes) that once being excited at a
frequency of above c the coil ceases to function as an inductor and begins to function as a capacitor.
The excitation frequency of the coil e is a function of the number of pole pairs np and the angular
velocity of the rotor r as shown in Equation (2.1).
e = npr (2.1)
While e is of the same order as c or less, the ReGen-X coil operates in substantially the same
manner as a conventional coil. Above c however, carefully considering the rate of change of magnetic
flux in the core is the key to understanding the operation of the coil.
The coil of the present invention operates at a higher frequency than conventional coils, with coils of
higher inductance and, in some embodiments, employs parallel wound series connected bi-filar windings
which increase coil impedance and self-induced capacitance by 200% or more.
Above a certain critical minimum frequency the ReGen-X coil does not allow current to flow through the
coil or the load until TDC. In doing so, the ReGen-X coil delays the repelling magnetic field normally
produced by the coil until the rotor magnetic field is already moving away from TDC.
A good mechanical analogy would be an air compressor blowing air into a balloon. Like a magnetic or
electric field, pressure, being a per-unit area force, does not represent energy until it is exerted over a
distance and otherwise may be regarded as potential energy. As long as the inflow pressure exceeds the
air pressure being built up inside the balloon, the balloon will continue to inflate.
At TDC, or any transition points 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees,(see figures 5) the inflow pressure is
instantly reversed and the balloon's stored air pressure is released in the same direction as the air
compressor's forced air direction and the net air force equals the balloon's stored potential + the potential
delivered by the compressor.
The "air pressure" being stored inside the balloon corresponds to voltage potential stored inside the
generator coil. The "compressor" corresponds to the prime mover causing the rotor magnet to move
toward the coil thus inducing an electromotive pressure in the coil. If, however, the pump's inflow pressure
ceases the air pressure inside the balloon will begin to deflate the balloon. The only difference between
the conventional coil and the ReGen-X coil is that the ReGen-X coil balloon scenario is actually a vacuum
which sucks the air out of the air compressor into the balloon without any back pressure and less work
being required by the compressor to deliver air into the balloon and then releases it, and then sucking it in
again.
The conventional coil (balloon) is always fighting the compressor - and as the pressure (voltage) builds
inside the balloon (coil) more and more work is required to be delivered by the compressor.
It is worth noting again that at TDC in a conventional coil there is no relative motion between the
generator's rotor magnets and the coil, and there is no induced voltage in the coil or current flow at the
instant the current is changing direction, but due to the rise and decay time constants of the inductor coil it
is not noticeable because the coil's time constant prevents the current from instantly decaying down to
zero.
Figure 2 shows the Time Constant Rise Time in a Series Inductor Circuit. The ReGenX coil’s inductance
contributes to the coils rise time post TDC which in turn contributes to the 45 degree current time delay.
12. Page 12 of 32
Figure 2 shows the Time Constant Rise Time in a Series Inductor Circuit.
An inductor (also choke, coil or reactor) is a passive two-terminal electrical component that stores
energy in its magnetic field. For comparison, a capacitor stores energy in an electric field, and a resistor
does not store energy but rather dissipates energy as heat.
Any conductor has inductance. An inductor is typically made of a wire or other conductor wound into a
coil, to increase the magnetic field.
When the current flowing through an inductor changes it creates a time-varying magnetic field inside the
coil, a voltage is induced, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, which by Lenz's law
opposes the change in current that created it. Inductors are one of the basic components used in
electronics where current and voltage change with time, due to the ability of inductors to delay and
reshape alternating currents.
Inductance (L) results from the magnetic field forming around a current-carrying conductor. Electric
current through the conductor creates a magnetic flux proportional to the current. A change in this current
creates a corresponding change in magnetic flux which, in turn, by Faraday's law generates an
electromotive force (EMF) in the conductor that opposes this change in current. Thus inductors oppose
changes in current through them and the higher the inductance value the longer the coil takes to allow
current to flow in the circuit. Conventional generator coils employ coils of low inductance whereas the
ReGen-X coil has inductance values and time constants that can be five times greater. This has an
important role to play in the coils ability to allow current to flow through the coil.
The effect of an inductor in a circuit is to oppose changes in current through it by developing a voltage
across it proportional to the rate of change of the current. The relationship between the time-varying
voltage v(t) across an inductor with inductance L and the time-varying current i(t) passing through it is
described by the differential equation:
13. Page 13 of 32
When there is a sinusoidal alternating current (AC) through an inductor, a sinusoidal voltage is induced.
The amplitude of the voltage is proportional to the product of the amplitude (IP) of the current and the
frequency (f) of the current.
In this situation, the phase of the current lags that of the voltage by π/2.
If an inductor is connected to a direct current source with value I via a resistance R, (see Figure 4C) and
then the current source is short-circuited, the differential relationship above shows that the current
through the inductor will discharge with an exponential decay:
The delay in the rise/fall time (Figure 4D) of the circuit is in this case caused by the back-EMF from the
inductor which, as the current flowing through it tries to change, prevents the current (and hence the
voltage across the resistor) from rising or falling much faster than the time-constant of the circuit. Since all
wires have some self-inductance and resistance, all circuits have a time constant. As a result, when the
power supply is switched on, the current does not instantaneously reach its steady-state value .
The rise instead takes several time-constants to complete.
At TDC the coil is neither approaching nor receding from the stationary coil, therefore ƒ = 0 and coil total
impedance Zt = coil DC resistance RDC (only).
No XL (inductive reactance) component exists because it is frequency dependent.
ReGen-X COIL OPERATION ABOVE CRITICAL FREQUENCY WITH AN APPROACHING MAGNETIC
NORTH POLE
The situation as a magnetic North pole approaches the Regen-X coil with a speed that means
e >> c
In this situation the magnetic flux in the core has a relatively high, positive rate of change and this
means that because the inductance of the ReGen-X coil is relatively high the reactance of the coil is also
high (XL = L = 2ƒL) leading to a high overall impedance (Zcoil = XL + RDC + XC) and so there is a
relatively low current flow in the coil and load. Instead, the majority of the energy contained in the
magnetic field in the core/coil combination (W = LI2
/2) remains in the core. (Where the usual circuit
variable names are used; ƒ:frequency, L:inductance, I:current, R:resistance, subscripting i.e. 'DC' means
zero-frequency etc,.)
14. Page 14 of 32
COIL OPERATION ABOVE CRITICAL FREQUENCY WITH A COAXIAL MAGNETIC NORTH POLE
At the instant the magnet is coaxial with the coil the situation is as illustrated in Figure 9.
Because the rate of change of the magnetic flux is instantaneously zero, the impedance of the coil drops
rapidly and magnetic field in the core is ‘discharged’ back towards the rotor, repelling the passing North
magnetic pole and attracting the next South magnetic pole in the series.
It is postulated by the inventor that in this situation Lenz’s law applies in the opposite sense and so the
EMF generated by the coil is defined by Equation (2.2).
Regen-X= +d/dt = + NAdB┴/dt (2.2)
At TDC there is no horizontal motion and no vertical motion as far as the coil is concerned. At TDC there
is no relative motion thus no changing flux inside the coil core because it is already maximum.
At TDC just prior to the rotor magnet beginning to move away from the stationary coil the maximum coil-
induced voltage can then be dissipated through the low DC resistance of the coil, producing a maximum
repelling magnetic field which accelerates the rotor magnet’s departure while simultaneously attracting
the opposite pole rotor magnetic field now moving into position.
At TDC + T1 (location of rotating “N” in Fig 3) ƒ, or the reactive oscillation in the coil, exists again.
Flux change is uniform if RPM is uniform - there is no maximum change in flux. However flux magnitude
increases as the rotor magnet approaches the stationary core and it peaks at TDC.
At TDC flux magnitude is maximum inside the coil core. Coil-induced voltage is also maximum.
The drawings (SEE FIGURE 4) show that the induced flux predominates below the critical minimum
frequency c resulting in a single sinusoidal wave in the equivalent circuit. Above c, the coil
produces an AC pulse at TDC (See Figure 4b) which is very narrow but still a sine wave. On the rotor of
the present invention, the alternating magnet poles are virtually touching each other for maximum
frequency and the frequency at TDC, i.e. neither approaching nor receding. There is no relative
movement so the frequency must be zero if no movement exists.
In order to reduce the amount of energy required to rotate the rotor and, therefore, reduce the amount of
energy required to generate electric power, the distortion of the magnetic flux across the pole faces must
be eliminated or at least reduced.
In fact the present invention does not directly reduce or eliminate it, but instead reverses it by delaying it
by 180 degrees.
Figure 3. Shows A Rotating Magnetic Field Approaching a Stationary Stator Coil, TDC to that Coil
and Moving Past said Coil.
15. Page 15 of 32
Figure 4 shows a rotating North Pole magnet field approaching a stationary coil which is connected to a
load at a certain frequency F1.
In this condition a conventional generator coil will decelerate the rotor magnets speed of approach and
reduce the frequency of the coil’s induced current.
Initially when the ReGenX coil is connected to a load, current flows in the coil but it is delayed by 45
degrees so the full repelling forces as dictated by Lenz’s Law and Newton’s Third Law are not manifested
– as shown in the oscilloscope shots in Figure 5.
Figure 4.Rotating Magnetic North Pole Approaching a Stator Coil at a Specific Frequency F1.
Figure 5 shows the oscilloscope current waveform through a purely resistive load (PF =1) for a
conventional generator coil (A) and a ReGenX coil (B) with the same rotor magnet and identical rotor
magnet relative positioning.
At 90 degrees (TDC) the rotor magnet is Top Dead Centre to both the conventional and ReGenX coil’s
core and is just about to move past the coil’s cores. The conventional coil is experiencing the maximum
repelling resistive force as can be exerted by the conventional coil’s induced magnetic field because the
current magnitude is also maximum.
At TDC the ReGenX coil’s stored voltage is released through the coil and the load and the coil’s Time
Constant delays its immediate manifestation.
The ReGenX coil’s current is delayed by 45 degrees and does not fully manifest itself until the 135 degree
mark which is post TDC.
At post TDC (post 90 degrees) the rotor’s rotating magnetic field has already moved past the coil’s cores
and when the delayed current finally peaks at the 135 degree mark the ReGenX coil’s repelling magnetic
field also peaks.
The result is the rotor magnet’s departure away from the ReGenX coil’s core is accelerated by the forces
exerted by the ReGenX coil’s current magnitude and resultant induced magnetic field on the rotor’s
magnetic field.
The current frequency is increased from F1 to F2 as shown in Figure 6 as is the rotor’s speed and the
mechanical power in the generator’s drive shaft.

Generator Coil.
Figure 6. Rotor Magnetic Field at TDC and Approach and Departure Frequencies of Rotor Magnet.
Figure 7. Discharging Delayed Regenx Coil’s Induced Magnetic Field Accelerating Rotor’s North
Pole Magnetic Field While Attracting the Approaching South Pole Magnetic Field.
The ReGenX generator coil attracts the approaching South Pole rotor magnetic field while simultaneously
repelling the rotor’s North Pole magnetic field as it moves away from TDC.
F1 and F2 can also be looked at as the resultant externally applied forces required to move the rotor
magnet toward and away from the coil’s core.
In a conventional generator coil scenario the externally applied mechanical energy must be increased to
compensate and overcome the resistive repelling forces the generator coil applies on the approaching
rotor magnetic field (F1) and the attracting forces as the rotor magnetic field tries to move away.
17. Page 17 of 32
In the ReGenX generator coil operation the externally applied mechanical force can be reduced in
proportion to the attracting force (F1) and repelling force (F2).
As can be seen from the various diagrams in Figures 8a, 8b, 8c and 8d, TDC can occur at 0, 90,180 or
270 degrees depending on where the sine wave is triggered on the oscilloscope. In every case, at TDC
the rotating loop is parallel to the generator stator’s magnetic lines of force.
Figures 8a, b, c, d. . Examples of Rotating Coil Loop in a Uniform Magnetic Field
Conventional Generator Coil Operation, Stage 1 and Stage 2
Figure 9 shows what happens when a North Pole rotor magnet approaches a conventional coil which is
connected to a load, current flows to the load and the coil produces both a repelling resistive
electromagnetic force as seen by the approaching rotor magnet as well as an attractive resistive
electromagnetic field as seen by the receding magnetic field.
The net effect is more externally applied force must always be applied to the rotor magnets to keep them
approaching the coil or they will decelerate and eventually stop if the load current is great enough.
The higher the current magnitude flowing in the coil the stronger the coil’s induced magnetic field and the
more force must be applied to the rotor.
18. Page 18 of 32
Figure 9. Stage 1 Conventional Generator Coil North Pole Magnetic Field Approaching Coil
When the North Pole rotor magnetic field begins to move away from the coil’s core as shown in Figure 10,
the current flow direction changes direction as well and the coil’s induced resistive magnetic field changes
from a repelling magnetic field to an attracting magnetic field which resists the North Pole rotor’s
departure.
Figure 10. Stage 2 Conventional Generator Coil North Pole Magnet Receding From Coil
ReGen-X Generator Coil Operation, Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3
In Stage 1 as shown in Figure 11, when the rotor’s magnet field approaches the ReGen-X coil above a
certain critical minimum frequency the coil impedance delays current flow in the coil and it does not peak
until the rotor magnet passes TDC.
TDC is the point in time when the rotor magnet is neither approaching nor receding the coil and it is
essentially stationary.
Figure 5 shows the current sine wave in the ReGenX coil (B) which is minimal prior to TDC and maximum
after TDC.
When the rotor magnetic field approaches a ReGenX coil above the coil’s critical minimum frequency the
current is delayed and the resultant repelling magnetic field is minimal as shown in the isolation diagram
below Figure 12.
19. Page 19 of 32
Figure 11. Stage 1 ReGenX Generator Coil, North Pole Magnet Approaching Coil
Figure 12. Isolation Oscilloscope Shot Showing ReGenX Coil Current 45 Degree Delay
Figure 12 shows a the current sine wave for a conventional generator coil (A) which peaks at the 90
degree mark (TDC).
The resistive repelling magnetic field produced by the coil increases in magnitude until it peaks at 90
degrees and then changes direction to a maximum magnitude resistive attracting magnetic field after the
90degree mark when the current flow in the coil also changes direction.
The current flowing in the ReGenX generator coil on the other hand is small prior to the 90 degree mark
and does not peak until after TDC or until the rotor magnet is already moving away from the coil’s core.
The NET result is the post 90 degree (accelerative) repelling forces are greater than the pre 90 degree
(decelerative) repelling forces exerted by the ReGenX coil’s induced magnetic field on the rotor’s rotating
magnetic field and rotor acceleration occurs under load.
Figure 12 shows Stage 2 for the ReGenX generator coil when the rotor magnetic field is TDC, neither
approaching nor receding from the coil’s core.
At TDC the impedance of the coil drops to the low DC resistance of the coil while the induced voltage in
the coil is at a maximum.
The maximum induced voltage can now be dissipated through the coil’s low DC resistance which
produces maximum current flow through the coil and to the load.
The ReGenX coil’s current flow is delayed by the coil’s inductance rise time as shown in Figure 2. and
maximum current flow and corresponding maximum magnetic field produced around the coil does not
fully manifest itself until 45 degrees post TDC.
20. Page 20 of 32
Once the rotor’s magnetic field begins to move away from the coil’s core at TDC the ReGenX coil’s
delayed and peaking magnetic field repels and accelerates the rotor magnetic field in the same direction
as its original trajectory and accelerates its departure away from the coil at a faster rate than it otherwise
would be.
Figure 12. Stage 1 ReGenX Generator Coil, North Pole Magnet at TDC
Figure 13. ReGenX Coil (B) Current Sine Wave Peaking Post TDC
Figure 15 shows Stage 3 for the ReGenX coil operation where the rotor’s rotating magnetic field has
moved past the coils core at TDC.
When the ReGen-X coil discharges its delayed magnetic field which is the same polarity as the receding
rotor magnet it accelerates the magnet ‘s departure at a faster rate while simultaneously attracting the
opposite pole on the rotor which is now moving into position.
The net effect is less externally applied force can be applied to the rotor magnets to keep them
approaching the coil as opposed to a conventional generator coil which requires an increase in eternally
applied force.
The higher the current magnitude flowing in the ReGen-X coil the stronger the coil’s induced magnetic
field and the less force is required to keep the rotor rotating and the generator producing electrical
energy.

COIL POSITIONING WITH REGARDS TO FLUX HARVESTING WITH A PLURALITY OF SALIENT
ReGenX GENERATOR COILS AND OR CONVENTIONAL GENERATOR COILS
The ReGenX generator coil has the unique ability to convert rotor magnetic flux to electrical energy as
well as discharging magnetic flux from an adjacent ReGenX or conventional generator coil and or motor
coil.
When a ReGenX generator coil is placed in the vicinity of another ReGenX generator coil and the first
ReGenX coil is connected to a load, the induced voltage in the second coil will be increased by a certain
amount because the first coil’s induced magnetic field is being discharged and entering the second
ReGenX coil in the same magnetic direction.
The effect is that the net flux penetrating the second coil’s core will be increased according to the
magnitude of the magnetic coupling coefficient between the two coils and vice versa.
When the second ReGenX coil is placed on load, the power delivered to the load by the first coil will be
increased due to the flux harvesting feature of the ReGenX generator coil.
If a conventional generator coil replaces the second coil in the scenario above the same effect will occur.
If a motor coil replaces the second coil the motor coil’s flux will be collected in the first ReGenX generator
coil as dictated by the magnetic coupling coefficient between the two coils.
Figure 16. Coil Position Required to Maximize Flux Harvesting
22. Page 22 of 32
Figure 16 shows the relative positioning between ReGenX generator coils to maximize Flux Harvesting.
Figure 17. Flux Harvesting Between Two Coils
Figure 18. Flux Harvesting Between Four ReGenX Coils
When the motor coils (M) in Figure 10 receive electric current in the correct direction, the current creates
a magnetic field around the motor coil with a North pole polarity which causes the North Pole rotor
magnets to accelerate away from the motor coils.
When the ReGen-X coils discharge their stored electro-magnetic-energy into the load which is physically
connected to them, they also create a magnetic field around the coil which has the same polarity as the
already receding North pole rotor magnet.
23. Page 23 of 32
Figure 19. Flux Harvesting Example of Flux Directions With Regard to Discharging
Motor Flux and Rotor Flux Generator Direction and Regen-X Core
Penetration Direction with Salient Coils
The adjacent ReGen-X coil’s discharging flux is also collected in all the available ReGen-X coils and vice
versa. The discharging flux from the motor coils (M) enters the ReGen-X generator coil in the same
direction as the North pole rotor flux, and the two flux magnitudes are additive. The ReGen-X coil’s
electrical power output to the load is increased by the magnitude of the motor flux which is collected in the
ReGen-X coil’s core.
Figure 20. Flux Harvesting Employing A Concentric E Core on No Load
Figure 13 shows a Concentric E core with a ReGen-X salient coil mounted on the middle finger of an E
core, with a conventional coil wrapped around the ReGen-X coil on the outer E core fingers. The
conventional coil in this embodiment is used to supply power to a load while creating conventional
armature reaction. Rotor flux enters the E core via the North pole rotor magnet on the middle E core
finger and returns to the rotors’ South poles via the outer E core fingers. The flux directions are reversed
when the South pole rotor magnet is facing the E core’s middle finger.
24. Page 24 of 32
Figure 21. Flux Harvesting Employing A Concentric E Core On Load
Figure14 shows a Concentric E core with a ReGen-X salient coil mounted on the middle finger of the E
core, with a conventional coil wrapped around the ReGen-X coil on the outer E core fingers. When the
ReGen-X coil discharges its stored flux, it accelerates the North pole magnet’s departure while attracting
the approaching South pole magnet on the rotor, and the rotor is accelerated.
A receding South pole rotor magnet produces the same flux direction in the core as an approaching North
pole rotor magnet. The discharging North pole flux from the ReGen-X coil enters the external coil fingers
of the E coil in the same direction as the approaching rotor magnet flux, and all the fluxes are additive.
The output power delivered by the conventional coil to the load is increased by the net magnitude of flux
produced by the ReGen-X coil and that collected by the conventional coil.
The conventional coil in Figure 21 can be substituted for a motor coil or vice versa while retaining the flux
harvesting features described in Figures 20 and 21.

Figure 22 shows the rotor flux paths for a ReGen-X Toroid Core application on no load.

Figure 23. Bi-Coil Toriod Core ReGenX Generator Coils On Load
Figure 23 shows the ReGen-X coil induced flux paths for a ReGen-X Bi-coil Toroid Core application. The
discharging flux (hash tag arrows) from coil 1 enters coil 2 in the same direction as the rotor flux path
direction and vice versa. Because the induced fluxes are entering the coils in the same direction as the
rotor flux, all the fluxes are cumulative and the output power to the load is increased accordingly.
Figure 24. Bi-Filar Wound Coil
Bi-Filar wound coil is created by winding two wires around the core simultaneously.
Figure 25. Bi-Filar Wound Parallel Connected Coil
The parallel connected bi-filar winding is employed when the ReGen-X coil is to be used as a
motor coil or a con-ventional generator coil because the inductive properties of this coil are
identical to that of a conventionally wound coil.
26. Page 26 of 32
Figure 26. Bi-Filar Wound Series Connected Coil
Connecting the bi-filar coil into a series wound coil increases the coil’s self induced capacitance
and changes the on-load characteristics (when operated above the minimum critical frequency)
from a counter-electromotive-torque producing coil to a complementary-electromotive-torque
producing coil which accelerates the system rather than decelerating it.

Addendum #1 Lenz’s Law
Lenz's Law
Figure 27 shows what happens according to Lenz’s Law when an EMF is generated by a change in
magnetic flux according to Faraday's Law, the polarity of the induced EMF is such that it produces a
current whose magnetic field opposes the change which produces it (addendum #2 shows how the
ReGenX Generator coil delays the current and magnetic field production by 45 degrees) when compared
to a conventional generator coil current. The induced magnetic field inside any loop of wire always acts to
keep the magnetic flux in the loop constant. In the examples below, if the B field is increasing, the
induced field acts in opposition to it. If it is decreasing, the induced field acts in the direction of the applied
field to try to keep it constant.
Figure 27. Lenz’s Law
Faraday's Law
Any change in the magnetic environment of a coil of wire will cause a voltage (EMF) to be "induced" in the
coil. No matter how the change is produced, the voltage will be generated. The change could be
produced by changing the magnetic field strength, moving a magnet toward or away from the coil, moving
the coil into or out of the magnetic field, rotating the coil relative to the magnet, etc.
Faraday's law is a fundamental relationship which comes from Maxwell's equations. It serves as a
succinct summary of the ways a voltage (or EMF) may be generated by a changing magnetic
environment. The induced emf in a coil is equal to the negative of the rate of change of magnetic flux
times the number of turns in the coil. It involves the interaction of charge with magnetic field.

Addendum #2 Delaying Coil Current, Coil Magnetic Field and Lenz’s
Law
The Regenerative Acceleration (ReGenX) Generator Innovation
accelerates itself under load and
- accelerates the EV while recharging the EV’s batteries…
because the ReGenX coil’s current is delayed by 45 degrees when
compared to any conventional EV generator coil which decelerates
itself under load.
This 45 degree current delay in the ReGenX generator produces an induced BEMF
electromagnetic field which assists the rotor’s rotation rather than resisting it as
per and conventional regenerative braking generator.
45 Degree Current delay in ReGenX Generator
As a result the ReGenX generator can be employed
during EV acceleration, coasting and braking with
or without the regenerative braking component and
even with regenerative neutral battery recharge
performance.

1. The drive shaft torque was identical in both cases and,
2. The motor efficiency was identical in both cases.

2009 Test Observations
Line 4:
The no-load speed was set at roughly 2100 RPM and the input and output values
recorded.
Line 5:
When the conventional generator coil was loaded through a 10 ohm load delivering
1.26 Watts to the load – the system decelerated as expected and the prime mover
input power had to be increased by 12.3% (row H) to maintain the system speed of
2100 RPM and steady state continuous power through the load.
Line 7:
When the Regenerative Acceleration Generator (ReGenX) Coils were engaged the
system accelerated as expected and the prime mover input power had to be
reduced by 40.2% to maintain the same steady state speed of roughly 2100 RPM.
It was observed and recorded that the ReGenX generator delivered 223.8% more
power to the same 10 ohm load at the same 2100 RPM steady state speed (row H)
but with a 40.2% reduction in input power required to do so.
Line 9:
When the ReGenX coils were removed and the system was allowed to operate in
conventional generator mode with the same 40.2% input reduction as in Line 7, the
result was that the conventional generator coil decelerated the system down to a
dead stop while the input to the prime mover increased by 35% in a failed attempt
to prevent system deceleration.
The ReGenX generator delivered a continuous 4.08 Watts to the load with a 40%
reduction in prime mover input power (from Line 5) at a steady state speed of 2100
RPM – while the conventional generator delivered a continuous 0.0 Watts to the
same load with a 35% increase in prime mover input at a steady state speed of 0
RPM.
Line 11
When the ReGenX generator was allowed to accelerate itself without reducing the
input (by 40.2%) to maintain identical steady state speeds as per Line 7 the system
accelerated to the full speed of the prime mover/motor and the generator output
increased to 16.1 Watts while the input power dropped by 62% from the initial no-
load setting.
When the ReGenX coil was then removed the system decelerated down to a virtual
dead stop with the generator output equaling 0.001 Watts.
2009 Test Conclusions
The conventional generator coil creates an electromagnetically induced counter-
torque/ armature reaction which decelerates the system when placed on-load and
32. Page 32 of 32
additional power must be returned to the input to maintain steady state power to
the load.
The more power delivered to the load in the conventional generator paradigm - the
more power must be returned to keep the system running. The amount of power
returned always exceeds the amount of power delivered due to losses in the
system.
The Regenerative Acceleration Generator coil on the other hand creates an
electromagnetically induced complimentary-torque/ armature reaction which
accelerates the system when placed on-load and a reduction in power must be
delivered to the input if a fixed steady state power and speed are desired.
The more power delivered to the load in the ReGenX generator paradigm - the less
power must be returned to keep the system running. The discharging magnetic
flux from the ReGenX coils also does two beneficial things simultaneously 1) It
accelerates the rotor and negates the conventional coil armature reaction 2) It adds
to the permanent magnet rotor flux being delivered to the conventional coil’s core
and supplements the conventional coil’s power by an additional 15%.
Overall ReGenX Generator Innovation Performance Advantage over Conventional
Generators
At any steady state speed with a fixed prime mover input the conventional
generator will always decelerate the system down to a dead stop if the load is great
enough – whereas the ReGenX generator will never decelerate the system.
