It probably allows it to be a self-excited alternator - like most
automotive alternators. The reliable rotary contact will eliminate the
wear factor in using the self-excited technology most likely. It will
require more copper, but no rare earth magnets.

How does this work without a magnetic field? I'm still reviewing the
patent:

Is that for real? I just posted an article from the same source which has
me puzzled.
Early stages of dementia?

Perhaps, but at a guess I would say that the Earth's magnetic field combined
with the rotation caused by the wind might
be enough to create a small current that would then grow

As I said, premature dementia.

Hi,
They probably normally use rare-earth magnets ( these are very strong magnets )
for the rotor so that they don't need an
electrical connection to the rotor which would in turn normally require the use
of slip rings.

In which case, I find this comment in the article quite puzzling:
*The technology is called Twistact, and it will eliminate the need for
expensive rare-earth magnets in large wind turbines.*

Seriously?
I think the answer lies in the patent on p. 24 of 36 under "Detailed
Description":

Ackshully, maybe it is simply a way to create a synchronous induction
generator by using one of these devices to transmit the DC for field and a
separate device to tap the AC from the induction coils.
I still would not explain some aspects of the patent claims.
