Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed, including a compressor having a piston and a valve assembly. In some embodiments, the valve assembly includes a check valve having a valve member, a magnet coupled to the valve member, and an electrical conductor near the magnet. The check valve may be configured to change state in response to a change in fluid pressure. The compressor may also have an electric device coupled to the electrical conductor.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- an electrical-energy storage system, comprising:
- a valve component;
- a permanent magnet coupled to the valve component;
- an impact bushing;
- a electrical conductor imbedded in the impact bushing, wherein the electrical conductor is configured to allow the permanent magnet to move axially through the electrical conductor to convert a time-varying magnetic field into current;
- and
- an electrical-energy storage device configured to store the current.
