Title: ELECTRICAL GENERATOR WITH FERROFLUID BEARINGS
Abstract: An electrical generator includes a magnet (2) constrained to move relative to a conductor (14) by a support structure (4), with a ferrofluid bearing providing an ultra low friction interface between the magnet (2) and support structure (4). The assembly has a critical angle of displacement from a horizontal static position of less than 1 degree, and preferably less than 10 minutes. An electrical signal is generated in the conductor (14) by the moving field.
