  • Patent number: 10432066
    Abstract: A portable apparatus is disclosed for generating electrical power comprising a stator comprising a plurality of coils, coil units or coil segments for independently generating electrical power, wherein the stator comprises a printed coil laminate comprising a sheet of insulator material and a printed conductor comprising conductive ink printed upon the sheet of insulator material arranged to form the plurality of coils, coil units or coil segments and a reciprocator comprising a magnet, the reciprocator being responsive to vibrations and/or shocks and moves in that regard within the environs of the stator so as to generate electrical power. The apparatus is connectable to a portable electronic device so as to power that device and/or to a storage device for storing the generated electrical power.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10135318
    Abstract: An exercise apparatus for generating electrical power is disclosed comprising a rotor comprising a flywheel comprising a plurality of alternatingly poled magnets arranged radially towards a circumference of the wheel in a circumferential, circular or arc-like configuration and a stator comprising a disc or annulus comprising one or more radially arranged coil units arranged to have a circumferential, circular or arc-like configuration, wherein the stator comprises a printed coil laminate comprising a sheet of insulator material and a printed conductor comprising conductive ink printed upon the sheet of insulator material, wherein the printed conductor is arranged to form a coil unit. The flywheel rotates, in use, relative to the disc to cause the magnets to move relative to the coil unit(s) and generate electrical power in the stator.
