  • Self-powered wellbore motor
    Patent number: 11713653
    Abstract: A well monitor for monitoring a downhole well condition. The well monitor comprises an electrical generator mounted to a tubing in the well, the generator comprising magnets and windings movable relative to one another by a pump rod received in the tubing. The monitor comprises an energy storage device electrically coupled to the generator for storing generated electrical energy. A vibration transducer is electrically coupled to the energy storage device. The well monitor comprises a controller for selectively powering the vibration transducer to produce a signal indicative of the well condition for transmission through the tubing.
