Abstract
Abstract A method and a device which are dependently and cojointly employed in the accurate control of the increase and decrease of alternating current, direct current, and concomitant electrical current extending through circuitry and passing to and through electrical devices, electrical appliances, electrical equipment, electrical motors, and electrical apparatuses which are connected to the innovative device. The method and the means of the innovative device can be applied and adapted to enable a plurality of capabilities such as: breaking a circuit; controlling automatically current, amperage dimming lighting systems; controlling automatically the movement and direction of electrical appliances; controlling automatically a constant level of current; input and output; controlling automatically the intensity of light; controlling automatically a plurality of electrical apparatuses; measuring weight as a sensitive scale; acting as a distributor; acting as a brushless motor; acting as a resistor; acting as a relay; acting as a voltage regulator; and other similar capabilities. The method includes the primary step of inducting a counter inductive magnetic field and concomitant inductive current to resist and expel the incoming current proceeding from an energy source; and a secondary step of reducing a counter inductive magnetic field and concomitant inductive current to advance and impel the incoming current.
