Dependent claims

A smart mechanical component, comprising:

a main body, wherein the main body is a screw or a hook;
a secondary body, wherein the secondary body is an inner shaft furnished in the main body, and the main body is not in contact with the secondary body;
a three-dimensional (3-D) reserved space, positioned between the main body and the secondary body;
and
an inductor bridged between the main body and the secondary body and located adjacent to a head part of the main body, wherein the inductor has a spiral shape, a center end of the inductor connects to an end of the inner shaft, and a spiral end of the inductor connects to the screw or the hook, for connecting the main body and the secondary body;
wherein, the main body, the secondary body and the three-dimensional (3-D) reserved space form a capacitor, and the inductor and the capacitor to form an inductor-capacitor (LC) circuit;
and
wherein the secondary body extends from one end of the main body to another end of the main body, and the secondary body is coaxial to the main body.
