Abstract
An electrical generator and method for generating electricity are provided using a linear induction generator that operates based on magnetic repulsion. The electrical generator includes a tube assembly having a tube with an induction coil surrounding the tube and an induction magnet within the tube. A rotor assembly includes a rotor magnet that is positioned with an opposing magnetic moment to the induction magnet and moved in proximity to the induction magnet to cause it to repel the induction magnet causing it to move within the tube and generate and electromotive force in the induction coil surrounding the tube.
