System For Generating Electrical Energy From Ambient Energy
US Patent:
8030786, Oct 4, 2011
Filed:
Aug 22, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/196971
Inventors:
Ronald Scott Jackson - Boise ID, US
John F. Gardner - Boise ID, US

Assignee:
Willowview Systems, Inc. - Boise ID
International Classification:
F02B 63/04, F03G 7/08, H02K 7/18, F02B 67/04
US Classification:
290 1R, 290 1 E, 290 54
Abstract:
A system for generating electrical energy from ambient energy such as the energy of ambient motion and acoustic vibrations. The system has at least two stages, a resonating electrical generator and a kinetic energy conversion system. The stages have differing resonant frequencies to enable harvesting energy from lower frequency ambient motion and converting the energy to higher frequency resonant oscillation for efficiently generating electrical energy. A multiaxial system having a plurality of systems for generating electrical energy from ambient motion each oriented to be responsive to motion along a different axis. An embodiment of a system for generating electrical energy from ambient motion for which the resonating electrical generator is at least part of a driving mass of the kinetic energy conversion system.

Abstract:
A system for generating electrical energy from ambient motion that comprises two stages, a resonating electrical generator and a kinetic energy conversion system. The different stages have differing resonant frequencies to enable harvesting energy from low frequency ambient motion and converting it to high frequency resonant oscillation for efficiently generating electrical energy.
