Abstract:
1. An electrical generator comprising: a first layer having a first plurality of conductors positioned at a plurality of different positions along a length and extending generally across a width; a second layer having a second plurality of conductors positioned at a plurality of different positions along the length and extending generally across the width; a magnetic field layer disposed between the first layer and the second layer with the magnetic field layer providing magnetic field that is different at different positions along the length; a holder that holds the magnetic field layer between the first layer and the second layer wherein the magnetic field layer, first layer and second layer are flexible and are held at one end along the length but are moveable relative to each other at an opposite end along the length and wherein the magnetic field layer, first layer and second layer bend when exposed to a force from a flow of material and the bending changes the radiuses of the magnetic field layer, first layer and second layer causing the conductors and the magnetic field to move relative to each other to induce electrical current in the conductors.
