Wide range variable magnetic inductor

Claim 1

A VARIABLE FERROMAGNETIC INDUCTOR COMPRISING, IN COMBINATION, A CIRCULAR STATIONARY PLATE MADE OF A HIGHFREQUENCY FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL; A ROTATING PLATE MADE OF A HIGH-FREQUENCY FERROMAGNETIC MATERIAL AND AFFIXED ROTATABLY AND PARALLEL TO SAID STATIONARY PLATE, SAID ROTATING PLATE HAVING A PORTION WITH AN INCLINED SURFACE OF VARYING THICKNESS THUS PROVIDING FOR VARYING SPACING AND CONTACT SURFACE AREAS RELATIVE TO SAID STATIONARY PLATE; A PROTRUDING PART FORMED ON EITHER OF SAID PLATES, PERPENDICULAR TO THE PLANE OF ROTATION THEREOF; AND A COIL WOUND AROUND SAID PROTRUDING PART; THE DIMENSIONS AND CONFIGURATIONS OF SAID PLATES AND SAID PROTRUDING PART BEING DEVISED SO THAT THE INDUCTANCE OF SAID COIL IS MADE TO VARY AS A FUNCTION OF THE EFFECTIVE PERMEABILITY OF THE MAGNETIC PATH OF SAID COIL, SAID EFFECTIVE PERMEABILITY BEING MADE TO VARY BY THE ROTATION OF THE ROTATING PLATE RELATIVE TO SAID STATIONARY PLATE, IN THE CONTACT SURFACE AREAS AND SPACING BETWEEN THE OPPOSING SURFACES, WHICH FORM THE COIL''S MAGNETIC PATH THROUGH THE ROTATING PLATE AND THE STATIONARY PLATE.
