The present invention uses a traditional electrical motor with a rotor to generate electricity or power. By manipulating the magnetic fields within a rotor, large amounts of electricity are generated by the rotation of the rotor within an external magnetic field. Oppositely charged rare-earth magnets are placed around the rotor to create a strong magnetic field that the rotor can spin or rotate within. A battery or other power source supplies power to the rotor at positive and negative terminals (brushes) that are connected to commutator. The positive and negative terminals contact the commutator close to each other, such that only a few windings or coils are charged or magnetized, and the remaining windings or coils are free to generate electricity within the external magnetic field. The few coils that are charged in combination with the external magnetic fields create sufficient rotation, while enabling the remaining “free” coils to generate electric power. This power or electricity that is generated is then collected at a terminal about 150-200 degrees from the positive and negative terminals from the power source. The rotor may be offset or closer to one set of magnets, which further improves power generation.
