Abstract
The invention disclosed herein is directed to a device for converting kinetic energy generated by a living organism in motion to electrical energy.
Claims16
A device for converting kinetic energy generated by an expandable/contractable element of a living organism to electrical energy, comprising:
- a support member;
- an electrical generator operatively coupled to the support member;
- an actuator member operatively coupled to the electrical generator;
- a spring operatively coupled to the actuator member and to the support member;
- a flexible non-elastic strap having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being operatively coupled to the actuator member and the distal end being operatively coupled to the support member;
- wherein
- the flexible non-elastic strap fits snugly around the expandable/contractable element of the living organism when in the contracted state.
