Abstract

The article introduces two new designs of flux switching permanent magnet alternators with a radial and an axial arrangement of the inductor relative to the magnetic flux switch. The study presents the results of 3D magnetic flux modelling along with the outcomes of physical experiments. In the course of laboratory experiments, the results of theoretical estimations are compared with actual physical performance parameters. The results are presented in the form of power and output voltage curves in relation to the frequency and load current. The study proposes the practical application of the alternators based on the magnetic flux switching principle in the development of a bicycle generator. Laboratory test models are made of a laminated steel using a waste-free technology.
