Method and machine for generating electricity

Claim 1

A MACHINE FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY COMPRISING A STATOR, A ROTOR MOUNTED FOR ROTATION IN SPACED PARALLEL RELATION TO SAID STATOR, EACH OF SAID STATOR AND ROTOR MEMBERS HAVING A SERIES OF PERMANENT MAGNETS ARRANGED IN EQUALLY SPACED, CIRCUMFERENTIAL INTERVALS TO PROVIDE FOR SIMULTANEOUS MOVEMENT OF THE MAGNETS ON SAID ROTOR INTO AND AWAY FROM COAXIAL ALIGNMENT WITH THE MAGNETS ON SAID STATOR, EACH OF THE MAGNETS ON SAID STATOR HAVING MAGNETIC POLES AT OPPOSITE ENDS BEING ALIGNED IN THE SAME DIRECTION WHEREBY THE POLE ENDS OF THE MAGNETS ON SAID STATOR IN FACING RELATION TO SAID ROTOR ARE OF THE SAME POLARITY, EACH OF THE MAGNETS ON SAID ROTOR HAVING MAGNETIC POLES AT OPPOSITE ENDS BEING ALIGNED IN THE SAME DIRECTION SO THAT THE POLE ENDS OF THE MAGNETS ON SAID ROTOR IN FACING RELATION TO SAID STATOR ARE OF THE SAME POLARITY, WINDINGS FOR SAID MAGNETS ON EACH OF SAID STATOR AND ROTOR MEMBERS, AND DRIVE MEANS FOR ROTATING SAID ROTOR TO REPEATEDLY ADVANCE THE MAGNETS ON SAID ROTOR TOWARD AND AWAY FROM CLOSELY SPACED CONFRONTING RELATION TO THE MAGNETS ON SAID STATOR WHEREBY TO INDUCE A CURRENT IN THE WINDINGS FOR EACH OF THE MAGNETS IN A DIRECTION ACCORDING TO THE DIRECTION OF RELATIVE MOVEMENT BETWEEN THE MAGNETIC POLES ON SAID ROTOR AND STATOR MEMBERS.
