Abstract:
1. A wireless switch comprising: a mechanical oscillator, wherein the mechanical oscillator is preloaded, wherein the preloading uses a spring or a flexure machanism; a mechanical impulse deliverer, wherein the mechanical impulse deliverer delivers a mechanical impulse to the mechanical oscillator when the wireless switch is switched, wherein the mechanical impulse deliverer loads the spring or the flexure mechanism and causes a release of a proof mass of the mechanical oscillator, wherein the mechanical impulse deliverer comprises a rotary dial; a first array of magnets positioned on a planar surface, wherein the first array comprises a one dimensional or two dimensional array of magnets; a first conductor, wherein the first conductor comprises a first serpentine conductor; a power management circuit, wherein the power management circuit provides DC power as a result of relative motion between the first array of magnets and the first conductor, wherein the relative motion is enabled by the mechanical oscillator.
