ABSTRACT:
A downhole current generator generates power in a wellbore and includes a power section and an generator section. The power section has a sleeve slidably disposed within a housing which oscillates in response to the application of fluid pressure to the current generator. A piston is slidably attached to the sleeve and oscillates relative to the sleeve and the housing. The piston extends longitudinally into an generator section and has a plurality of magnets attached thereto which oscillate with the piston. Wire coil sections are fixed relative to the housing of the generator section and are positioned between the oscillating magnets such that a current is induced in the wire coil sections upon oscillation of the magnets.
