ALEXANDRIA, Va., Dec. 31 -- United States Patent no. 12,512,743, issued on Dec. 30.

"Motor-alternator-motor (MAM) systems and methods for using same" was invented by Richard Paul Torregano (Baton Rouge, La.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Like a transformer that can increase or decrease AC voltage or current by increasing or decreasing the turns-ratio of the transformer an amplification factor is developed. And like a transistor that can amplify/attenuate an electrical signal and by manipulating the hfe of the transistor, it could increase or decrease the amplification factor of the transistor. Likewise, the MAM unit, depending on the number of phases used, can amplify the power for a given ou...
