Abstract
An energy converter arranged on a rotating element and used for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, having a converter element (2) for converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy and a first mass (M1) and a second mass (M2), the second mass (M2) being connected to the rotating element. The converter element (2) is arranged between the first mass (M1) and the second mass (M2) such that a mechanical relative movement of the two masses (M1, M2) acts on the converter element (2) so as to generate electrical energy.
Claims5
An energy converter arranged on a rotating element and used for converting mechanical energy into electrical energy, comprising:
- a converter element for converting the mechanical energy into electrical energy;
- a first mass;
- a second mass, coupled to the rotating element;
- wherein the converter element is arranged between the first mass and the second mass such that a mechanical relative movement of the two masses acts on the converter element so as to generate electrical energy;
- wherein a mechanically movable connection between the first mass and the second mass is formed by the converter element such that the first mass can only be moved in a first plane;
- and
- wherein the second mass is movably connected to the rotating element such that the plane is at right angles to a rotational centrifugal force.
