an electromagnetic generator without moving parts includes a permanent magnet and a magnetic core including first and second magnetic paths . a first input coil and a first output coil extend around portions of the first magnetic path , while a second input coil and a second output coil extend around portions of the second magnetic path . the input coils are alternatively pulsed to provide induced current pulses in the output coils . driving electrical current through each of the input coils reduces a level of flux from the permanent magnet within the magnet path around which the input coil extends . in an alternative embodiment of an electromagnetic generator , the magnetic core includes annular spaced - apart plates , with posts and permanent magnets extending in an alternating fashion between the plates . an output coil extends around each of these posts . input coils extending around portions of the plates are pulsed to cause the induction of current within the output coils .
