Abstract
An inductive energy converter includes a coil assembly having coil windings, with at least some of the coil windings respectively having spaced contact regions. A contact bar within the coil assembly is insulated from the coil windings, and a conductive body is in electrical contact with the contact bar and is movably supported by the coil assembly, wherein movement of the conductive body brings it into electrical contact with consecutive ones of the spaced contact regions, to complete an electrical circuit between one of the windings and the contact bar.
