ABSTRACT:
A voltage regulating circuit for eliminating flicker in lights fed by an electric generator driven by an internal combustion engine comprises a transformer having an input connected in series with the output of the generator and with the lights, and a control winding connected in a control circuit. The control circuit comprises a resistor and a transistor or solid state switch for shorting the resistor except during the power strokes of the engine when the engine speed and hence the voltage of the generator are cyclically higher. The voltage at the output of the transformer is thereby reduced during the power strokes of the engine to a value substantially equal to the voltage during exhaust strokes, thereby eliminating visible flicker in the lights.
