Abstract
An electrical generating system including an electric motor coupled to a power source, such as a solar panel array. A magnetic coupling is connected to an output shaft of the motor. The magnetic coupling includes opposed first and second plates each having permanent magnets affixed thereto and arranged such that rotation of the first plate by the motor causes the second plate to rotate by repulsive magnetic force. A gear assembly having a high transmission ratio is connected to the magnetic coupling. Preferably, at least one electrical generator is connected to the gear assembly for generating electricity.
