Abstract
Apparatus for generating energy and a method of operating the apparatus to generate energy, where the apparatus comprises a coil assembly of a pair of coils circumscribing a magnet assembly that is held in a first position until, upon an acceleration event, the magnet moves from the first position to a second position, which imparts inductive energy into the coils.
Claims20
Apparatus for generating energy comprising:
- a first coil and a second coil;
- a magnet assembly, when positioned in a first position is circumscribed by the first coil and, when positioned in a second position, is circumscribed by a second coil;
- and
- upon an acceleration even, allowing the magnet assembly to move to the second position, where the movement of the magnet assembly from the first position to the second position induces a current in the first and second coils.
1 more element
A method of generating energy comprising:
- retaining a magnet assembly at a first position within a first coil of wire;
- and
- upon an acceleration event, moving the magnet assembly from the first position to a second position, where the second position is within a second coil of wire, the first and second coils are aligned along a central axis.
