Abstract: Various embodiments relate to a hybrid electromechanical transformer system and related methods. One such system comprises an electromechanical transformer device comprising an oscillating suspension element, wherein the oscillating suspension element comprises a platform and one or more suspension arms. The one or more suspension arms are attached to a respective side of the platform, wherein the oscillating suspension element further comprises a frame. The device further comprises at least one piezoelectric element attached to the one or more suspension arms of the oscillating suspension element of the oscillating suspension element: a piezoelectric transducer port coupled to the at least one piezoelectric element: a permanent magnet attached to the platform of the oscillating suspension element; a coil electrodynamically coupled with the permanent magnet and attached to the frame of the oscillating suspension element; and an electrodynamic transducer port coupled to the coil.

Abstract: A transverse appendage is spring biased into contact with a protuberance equipped platform. The platform protuberances act as detents impending arcuate travel of the transverse appendage. Tabs extending upwardly from the platform positively limit the arcuate travel of the transverse appendage.
