  • Patent number: 11929692
    Abstract: The proposed vibrational energy harvester comprises a frame (118), a mass (114) coupled to first and second primary flexures (110, 112) which are configured to flex and allow the mass to move in a first direction (130), a plurality of secondary flexures (120, 122) which are configured to flex and allow the mass to move in a different second direction (132), and a transduction assembly configured to convert movement of the mass and flexures into electrical energy, preferably of electrodynamic or piezoelectric type. Each of the primary flexures is coupled to a secondary flexure at a position spaced from the mass. The resonant frequency of torsional vibration modes can thereby be raised to a frequency higher than the frequency band of ambient vibrations, which effectively prevents the energy harvester from vibrating in undesirable torsional modes that would result in wear between components.

    Abstract: A modular device that can operate as an electrical generator. First and second coil support plates are arranged in parallel orientation relative to each other forming a gap between the first and second coil support plates. Removable C-cores, each having wire coils, are removably attached to the first and second coil support plates. A rotor disc having selectively arranged magnets is disposed in the gap between the first and second coil support plates and is permitted to rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to the rotor disc and the parallel first and second coil support plates; a drive motor can power rotation of the rotor disc. As the disc rotates, electrical current is generated. The C-core assemblies can be interchanged, checked, removed and/or replaced while the electrical generator remains in operation without requiring cessation of such operation.
