ABSTRACT:
An anergy conversion apparatus for generating rotational force and AC power has first and second banks of solar cells configured for continuous exposure to light. Each of the banks has a charge storage device, such as a capacitor or a battery, connected thereto in parallel. A motor assembly has a stator with coils connected to commutating solar cells disposed on said stator and the first and second banks of solar cells such that the commutating solar cells control current passing through the coils from the first and second banks of solar cells. A rotor assembly is rotatably mounted on the stator assembly and has a set of permanent magnets for producing fields interacting with fields produce by the coils and a mask for selectively shielding the commutating solar cells to apply current from the first and second banks of solar cells to the coils to effect rotation of the rotor. AC power is tapped from terminals disposed across the coils. An alternative embodiment has three coils connected in a delta configuration, each of the coils has an associated commutating solar cell and the rotor has a mask for shield one of the commutating solar cells at a time to produce three-phase AC power across the three coils.
