Alternating-current generator

Claim 1

AN ALTERNATING-CURRENT GENERATOR COMPRISING MEANS HAVING MAGNETIC POLES ALONG ITS PERIPHERY FOR DEVELOPING SUBSTANTIALLY DISCRETE CONCENTRATED MAGNETIC FIELD REGIONS OF SMALLER PERIPHERAL DIMENSION THAN CORRESPONDING PERIPHERAL REGIONS OF SAID FIELD-DEVELOPING MEANS AND WITH ADJACENT FIELD REGIONS BEING OF OPPOSITE POLARITY; AND A CONTINUOUS WINDING HAVING OPPOSITE FACES AND HAVING A FIRST SET OF CONDUCTOR FORMING ONE FACE DISPOSED IN SAID MAGNETIC FIELD REGIONS AND HAVING A SECOND SET OF CONDUCTORS FORMING THE OTHER FACE DISPOSED IN SAID MAGNETIC FIELD REGIONS AND HAVING BRIDGING CONNECTIONS CONNECTING SAID CONDUCTORS TO FORM WINDING LOOP REGIONS IN AT LEAST ONE SERIES CIRCUIT WITH SUCCESSIVE CONDUCTORS IN SAID SERIES CIRCUIT BEING IN DIFFERENT SETS AND BEING SPACED APART BY MORE THAN ONE CONDUCTOR SPACING, SAID WINDING HAVING OUTPUT CONNECTIONS TO PREDETERMINED CONDUCTORS AND HAVING A NUMBER OF LOOP REGIONS WHICH IS AN INTEGRAL MULTIPLE OF THE NUMBER OF POLES OF SAID FIELD-DEVELOPING MEANS, SAID NUMBER OF LOOP REGIONS BEING SELECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE EQUATION N=2+4KN, WHERE THE PARAMETERS ARE AS DEFINED IN THE SPECIFICATION, AND PROVIDING AT LEAST TWO PAIRS OF LOOP REGIONS PER MAGNETIC FIELD REGION, SAID FIELD-DEVELOPING MEANS BEING EFFECTIVE TO CONCENTRATE EACH MAGNETIC FIELD REGION SUBSTANTIALLY WITHIN ONE LOOP REGION, ONE OF SAID FIELD-DEVELOPING MEANS AND SAID WINDING MEANS BEING ROTATABLE WITH RESPECT TO THE OTHER FOR DEVELOPING AND ALTERNATING-CURRENT OUTPUT SIGNAL HAVING A HIGH FREQUENCY OF ELECTRICAL CYCLES PER REVOLUTION OF ONE OF SAID FIELD-DEVELOPING MEANS AND SAID WINDING MEANS.
