Abstract: Wireless power transfer is received using a magneto mechanical system. A magneto mechanical system may include an array of magneto-mechanical oscillators, wherein each oscillator may comprise a magnetic symmetrical part and a suspension engaged to the magnetic part. The system may further include a coil formed around the array and electromagnetically coupled to the oscillators to produce an electric current caused by electromagnetic coupling with the oscillators.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is vibration motor. The vibration motor includes a bearing rotatably fitted over a support shaft which is installed to be perpendicular to a base. A hub is coupled to the bearing, with an eccentric member provided on the edge of the hub. A coil is mounted to the hub to form an electric field. A magnet having 2n poles is mounted on the base, and rotates the hub using electromagnetic force between the magnet and the coil. A detent magnet is mounted to the hub and stops the coil in the middle between the poles of the magnet.
