Electrical generator

An electrical generator, comprising:

• a wheel rim having a central portion and a circumferential edge;
• at least one hollow tube mounted radially on the wheel rim, the at least one hollow tube having opposed first and second ends, the first end being positioned adjacent the central portion, the second end being positioned adjacent the circumferential edge of the wheel rim;
• at least one first elastic member and at least one second elastic member being mounted within the at least one hollow tube and respectively covering the first and second ends thereof;
• at least one magnet slidably received within the at least one hollow tube;
• at least one induction coil mounted about an exterior surface of the at least one hollow tube;
• a central rotational commutator mounted in the central portion of the wheel rim and at least one rotating electrical brush being secured thereto, the at least one rotating electrical brush being in electrical communication with the at least one induction coil;
• an AC to DC converter in electrical communication with the at least one rotating electrical brush;
• and
• at least one electrical battery in electrical communication with the AC to DC converter;
• wherein rotation of the wheel rim causes oscillatory motion of the at least one magnet within the at least one hollow tube, generating alternating electrical current via electromagnetic induction, the alternating electrical current being converted to direct electrical current by the AC to DC converter.
