  • Publication number: 20090179432
    Abstract: Provided is an energy generation device including a base and a generator coupled to the base. The generator includes a shaft capable of rotating to generate electricity. A frame is coupled to the base and defines an inner perimeter. A first magnet is coupled to the frame. An arm is coupled to the shaft and defines a longitudinal arm axis. The arm is creates a fluid force in response to fluid passing over the arm in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal arm axis. The fluid force urges the arm in a first rotational direction. A hammer head is connected to the arm and includes a second magnet in magnetic communication with the first magnet to generate a magnetic force urging the second magnet in the first rotational direction. The fluid force and magnetic force collectively cause the arm to rotate in the first rotational direction.

  • Publication number: 20080174121
    Abstract: There is provided a device capable of utilizing magnetic and gravitational forces to generate electrical energy. The device includes a base having a generator coupled thereto. The generator includes a shaft capable of rotating to generate electrical energy. The device further includes a circular frame having an inner perimeter. The circular frame is coupled to the base. The circular frame includes a first magnet coupled thereto. The device additionally includes an arm coupled to the generator shaft. The arm rotates within the circular frame inner perimeter. The arm includes a hammer head having a second magnet. The polarity of the second magnet is similar to the polarity of the first magnet. The first magnet is positioned such that the similar polarities of the first and second magnet create a force which propels the arm in the direction of rotation.
