A utility power generator includes a flywheel that includes an outer perimeter that is operable between a planar position and a plurality of sinusoidal positions. A hub is concentrically positioned within the flywheel, wherein the hub defines a rotational axis of the flywheel. An axial fitting traverses relative to the hub and along the rotational axis in an axial direction as the flywheel operates between the planar position and the plurality of sinusoidal positions. The flywheel, the hub and the axial fitting are rotationally linked to synchronously rotate about the rotational axis. Rotation of the flywheel biases the axial fitting toward the planar position. A transfer fitting is coupled to at least one of the flywheel, the hub and the transfer fitting. Rotation of the flywheel about the rotational axis operates the transfer fitting to operate a tool.

A utility power generator comprising:
A method of harnessing movement energy for operating a tool positioning a flywheel having a hub and an axial fitting in one of a sinusoidal position and a planar position, wherein the flywheel, the hub and the axial fitting rotate about a rotational axis and the axial fitting is biased toward the planar position during rotation of the flywheel;
