Claim:
1. A switching system comprising: an electromechanical generation means for generating an oscillating voltage; a rectifier electrically connected to said generation means; a voltage regulator having an input side and an output side; said input side of said voltage regulator being electrically connected to an output side of said rectifier; an electrical energy store electrically connected to said voltage regulator and configured to receive electrical energy from the electromechanical generation means; a sensor configured to generate measurement data responsive to sufficient electrical energy being in the electrical energy store; first signal transmission means electrically connected to said output side of said voltage regulator and configured to repeatedly transmit a first electromagnetic signal comprising the measurement data responsive to sufficient electrical energy being in the electrical energy store and until there is insufficient electrical energy in the electrical energy store; said first signal transmission means comprising a first electromagnetic signal generator subcircuit connected to a transmission antenna; signal reception means for receiving a first electromagnetic signal transmitted by said first signal transmission means; said signal reception means being adapted to generate a second signal in response to said first electromagnetic signal transmitted by said first signal transmission means; and a switch having a first position and a second position; said switch being in communication with said signal reception means; said switch being adapted to change between said first position and said second position in response to said second signal.
