2) Brief Description continued
A means of varying the spacing in the folds
physically can enable the reactance to be varied. This should be clear
from figure 1), using flexible wire 101 for example. Somewhat more
difficult but similar results may be obtained from devices constructed
as in figure 2), by incorporating flexibility at layer boundaries, for
example. Special reluctivity materials may be added to or moved within
the proximity of the magnetic field 102 of the device to vary the
reactance. A special circuit may be added to vary the ambient reluctance
by occupation of the field area 102 with another field.
3) Detailed Description
a) Field
Orientation
See figure 1). The
purpose of this drawing is to make clear the orientation of the magnetic
field produced in the conductor of electricity to other parts of that
conductor in this invention. The "s" shaped material 101 is the conductor.
The concentric ovals 102 represent the magnetic field produced at point
"P." The number of folds chosen here is to contribute to that clarity. the
actual number of folds in the device will depend on the amount of reactance
required by the circuit. Only the magnetic field generated at point "P" is
illustrated. Again for purposes of clarity; actually all points of the
conductor generate magnetic fields. As is by now well known, increases in
electric current cause the magnetic field generated by that current to
expand, decreases contract; in this invention the expansions and
contractions are used to cross the conductor with an orientation that will
generate a reactive voltage in the conductor in the same direction as the
increase or the decrease. The reactive current and voltage lead the input
by 90 degrees because at the input crest and trough the instantaneous rate
of change is zero and when the input crosses zero the rate of change is
maximum and E(r)=di/dt. Resistance combined will reduce the phase angle
just as with other reactances.
b) Mass
Production Techniques
See figure 2). The
purpose of this drawing is to show how folds may be simulated by
manufacturing parts and assembling them into the shape of folds. The number
of folds chosen here is for clarity; the actual number of folds in the
device will depend on the amount of reactance required by the circuit. Note
that a main block of conductors 201 is fitted with connector terminating
caps 202-203 to create a conductor with folds arranged to efficiently
maximize the field orientation figure 1) depicts. Insulation is the
surrounding material in each case. Final insulation and installation is not
shown. Heat dissipation techniques are not shown.
