Abstract
An apparatus for generating voltage from a compressed gas. A reciprocable shuttle member is arranged to oscillate within a housing under the action of gas pressure. The shuttle member impacts on a piezoelectric member thereby causing voltage to be generated from the piezoelectric member.
Claims26
Apparatus for generating voltage comprising a piezoelectric member and a reciprocable shuttle member operable by an oscillating gas pressure to cause there to be made a series of voltage generating impacts on the piezoelectric member.
An assembly of an apparatus comprising a piezoelectric member and a reciprocable shuttle member operable by an oscillating gas pressure to cause there to be made a series of voltage generating impacts on the piezoelectric member and a pressure vessel containing compressed gas.
An electrical device including a piezoelectric member there to be made a series of voltage generating impacts on the piezoelectric member and a pressure vessel containing compressed gas.
A method of generating a voltage comprising producing an oscillating gas pressure and causing the oscillating gas pressure to act on a reciprocable shuttle member so as to cause there to be made a series of voltage generating impacts on a piezoelectric member.
