DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] As it is scientifically known many celestial bodies have magnetic fields to varying degrees including Earth. These magnetic fields extend far into space. The present invention utilizes said magnetic fields in conjunction with electrically conductive and or super conductive materials applied with varying potentials of positive bias voltage to produce electric power from the aforementioned magnetic fields. Also, by moving and/or accelerating said electrically conductive materials through said magnetic fields electric power may be produced. Electrically conductive materials may have several designs and/or embodiments including, but not limited to, coils, grids, grills, grille bars, strips, V-shaped bars, etc.

[0013] Said embodiments may be preferably placed and/or installed onto the exterior surface of vehicles either for highway use or aircraft or spacecraft such as satellites operating within Earth's magnetic field or interplanetary magnetic fields or the magnetic fields present in gaseous atmospheres. Strips and/or coils of electrically conductive material may also be installed onto the blades of wind turbines and may interact with a magnetic field to produce electric power when the blades are in motion. The same type of strips and/or coils may interact with another planet's magnetic field to produce electric power when the blades are in motion.

[0014] The embodiment described in FIGS. 1 and 2 is but one of several. This particular embodiment is designed to attract, collect, and capture electrons from both Earth's magnetic fields and Earth's atmosphere. FIG. 1 shows the present invention which in this embodiment is comprised of “V”-shaped slats 102a of electrically conductive or super conductive material mounted parallel to one another supported by insulative brackets 101 at each end. Those having skill in the art will recognize that slats 102a may be mounted in numerous other alternative geometries.

[0015] FIG. 2 shows wavy lines 103 which represent the Earth's magnetic field along with horizontal lines 104 which represent the Earth's atmosphere impacting said slats 102a when the slats 102a are moving. The slats 102a are supplied with varying potentials of positive voltage to attract, collect, and capture electrons to create current flow to power connected electrical systems. The power generated is conducted to the electrical system by means of wires 102b. Those having skill in the art will recognize that the directional disposition of the magnetic field shown by wavy lines 103 may vary as the direction of the vehicle changes. In such cases the amount of electrical power generated by slats 102a may vary.

[0016] FIGS. 3a and 3b show the blades 105b of wind turbines 105a equipped with arrays of electrically conductive and/or super conductive materials 105c applied along the length of the blades 105b. As the blade 105b rotates through Earth's atmosphere and the Earth's magnetic field electricity may be generated. Said electricity is transferred to an external circuit or battery or other storage device for later use.

[0017] FIG. 4 shows the front of an automobile. In this application, array 501a of electrically conductive and/or super conductive materials are mounted as slats 501b parallel to one another. Those having skill in the art will recognize that slats 501b may be mounted in numerous other alternative geometries. As the slats 501b move through the Earth's atmosphere and the Earth's magnetic field, electricity may be generated. Those having skill in the art will recognize that slats 501b are designed to simultaneously attract, collect, and/or capture electrons and create current to power electrical systems from an interaction with the Earth's magnetic field and from a physical dissolution of elements in the air on impact with slats 501b so that the freed electrons may be captured and used for power.

[0018] FIG. 5a shows a schematic diagram of an array 501a of electrically conductive and/or super conductive materials mounted as elements of grid (slats) 501b. Such an array 501a of electrically conductive and/or super conductive materials mounted as elements of grid (slats) 501b may be arranged in any geometry. Also, of electrically conductive and/or super conductive materials mounted as elements of grid (slats) 501b may be configured in other configurations including, but not limited to, coils, grids, grills, grille bars, strips, V-shaped bars, etc. Turning now to FIGS. 5a and 5b, a diagram is presented which shows how the invention works. After installing this embodiment of the present invention on highway vehicles, aircraft, spacecraft, or the blades of wind powered generating devices, these objects travel though the Earth's atmosphere and/or the Earth's magnetic field. As the devices travel two reactions may occur.

[0019] First, atmospheric gases impacting elements of grid (slats) 501b will be forced to condense and decompose slightly thereby freeing electrons that will be captured by elements of grid (slats) 501b. When switch 505 is in position “A” a variable amount of positive electric biasing current from battery 502 may be applied to the elements of grid (slats) 501b by means of potentiometer 504 and Diode 2. This slight positive charge attracts the freed electrons surrounding elements of grid (slats) 501b.

[0020] Second, as the device travels through Earth's magnetic field (or any other magnetic field) an interaction between said magnetic field and the elements of grid (slats) 501b produces electric power. When switch 505 is in position “A” a variable amount of electric biasing current. may be applied to the elements of grid (slats) 501b by means of potentiometer 504 and Diode 2. This slight positive charge induces a current in grid (slats) 501b. The generated current flows back to battery 502 by means of Diode 3.

[0021] When electric current consumption is desired, switch 505 is placed at position “B” and electric power flows from battery 502 to the existing power system of the highway vehicle, aircraft, spacecraft, or the wind powered generating device.

[0022] Installing said embodiments either as grids and/or as electric coils on spacecraft, the International Space Station (ISS), or other earth orbiting satellites the vacuum environment of space is advantageous. Here, the invention has the potential to attract, collect, and/or capture electrons to create current flow and produce electric power. Also, the invention generates current flow by passing through Earth's magnetic field lines.

[0023] It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the illustrations and implementations shown. Those skilled in the art will recognize other implementations and uses of the present invention and will recognize that such implementations and uses are implicitly included in the scope of the present invention.
