Abstract: A wind-powered electrical assembly includes an electrical device electrically connected to an electrical generator. The electrical generator is operable to provide an electric current to the electrical device to operate the electrical device. The electrical generator has a rotor. The electrical assembly further includes a wind-powered actuator assembly configured to rotate when subject to an operating wind and a gear train arranged with the electrical generator for operating the electrical generator. The gear train can include a plurality of gears wherein a first gear can be operably arranged with a spring assembly. A second gear of the drive train can be operably arranged with the wind-powered actuator assembly and a third gear can be mounted to the rotor of the electrical generator.

Abstract: The invention provides a wind-powered generator assembly for powering relatively small electronic devices. The wind-powered electrical assembly comprises an electrical device and an electrical generator. The electrical generator can be electrically connected to the electrical device. The electrical generator is operable to provide an electric current to the electrical device to operate the electrical device. The electrical generator has a rotor. The electrical assembly further comprises a wind-powered actuator assembly configured to rotate when subject to an operating wind and a gear train arranged with the electrical generator for operating the electrical generator. The gear train can include a plurality of gears wherein a first gear can be operably arranged with a spring assembly. A second gear of the drive train can be operably arranged with the wind-powered actuator assembly and a third gear can be mounted to the rotor of the electrical generator.

Abstract: The invention provides a manually-powered electrical assembly. In one aspect, the manually-powered electrical assembly can be a light assembly that comprises a light source, an electrical generator, and a manual actuator assembly. The electrical generator is electrically connected to the light source and is operable to provide an electric current to the light source to operate the light source for providing light. The manual actuator assembly is arranged with the electrical generator for selectively manually operating the electrical generator. The manual actuator assembly includes an operator handle movable over a range of travel between a normal position and an operated position, a biasing mechanism for biasing the operator handle to the normal position, and a drive train connected to the operator handle and the electrical generator for rotating the rotor of the electrical generator. The invention is operable to power other electrical devices such as a mobile phone or a fan.
