Abstract:
A variable inductance electrical device is an electrical conductor arranged in a flexible helical coil with a multiplicity of windings connected to a traveler plate and a fixed plate coaxially arranged a distance from the traveler plate. The conductor is arranged in the space between the traveler plate and the fixed plate such that moving the traveler plate away from the fixed plate moves the conductor coils apart and moving the traveler plate towards the fixed plate moves the conductor coils closer together. The inductance of the electrical coil varies inversely with the length of the coil, and thus varies with the spacing of the coils.
