Abstract:
1. An electric generator device comprising: a rotary-to-linear converter; a magnetic stator assembly including a core having one or more magnets producing magnetic fields; opposed coils circumscribing the core, each coil arranged to reciprocate relative to the magnetic stator assembly and each coil coupled to the rotary-to-linear converter, the rotary-to-linear converter driving the coils in reciprocation upon rotation within the rotary-to-linear converter, resulting in electric current flowing though the coils as the coils move through the magnetic fields produced by the one or more magnets; and an electronic unit configured to receive power flow from the coils, wherein the magnetic stator assembly includes multiple inner magnets and the coils surround the multiple inner magnets, wherein the magnetic stator assembly further includes multiple outer magnets arranged parallel to the inner magnets and arranged outside of the coils, and wherein followers are coupled to the coils at locations of the coils not covered by the outer magnets.
