  • Patent number: 10491076
    Abstract: A bearing arrangement including a rotating part and a non-rotating part. The rotating part is configured to rotate relative to the non-rotating part with an essentially horizontal rotation axis. The arrangement is provided with an energy generating system, comprising at least one micro generator module. The micro generator module includes a housing, an eccentric mass mounted so as to be rotatable around an eccentric shaft in the housing, and a generator unit configured to generate electrical energy using the rotation of the eccentric shaft. The energy generating system is mounted to the rotating part of the arrangement.

  • Publication number: 20100128573
    Abstract: Mechanical clockwork assembly, comprising a drive mechanism, a mechanical control device comprising a mechanical oscillator and a first transmission device for providing a transmission between the drive mechanism and the mechanical oscillator, an electric generator and a second transmission device for providing a transmission between the drive mechanism and the generator, wherein the generator is spaced apart from the mechanical oscillator. In one embodiment the clockwork assembly comprises a sensor for determining a timing of the mechanical oscillator, an actuator for adapting a timing of the mechanical oscillator, an electronic control device connected to the sensor and the actuator, wherein the control device comprises an entry for a reference signal for controlling the timing of the mechanical oscillator on the basis of the reference signal, and wherein at least the control device is connected to the generator for supplying the control device with electric energy from the generator.

  • Patent number: 5923619
    Abstract: A generator, for miniature power consuming devices in particular, comprises a rotor wheel (4), which is coupled to a driven shaft and which has magnetized poles, a stator (5) having a plurality of windings for providing an electric voltage, a driving means (2, 33) for driving the driven shaft (3), and a transmission means having a resilient body (34) for providing a resilient transmission between said driving means and said driven shaft. Interrupting means (37) are provided for at least substantially interrupting the transmission between said driving means and said driven shaft as a function of the spring tension of said resilient body. The interrupting means preferably comprise a number of leaf springs, arranged around a disc, or a free-wheel clutch (37).
