Abstract:
1. An electric power generator comprising: a fixed primary gear having a handle sized to fit in a user's hand; a secondary gear assembly having a secondary gear engaged with the primary gear; said secondary gear assembly mounted to a housing which rotates about the handle; wherein said secondary gear assembly rotates around the primary gear during a user's motion imparted to the handle; a magnet affixed to the secondary gear; a stator/coil assembly mounted in proximity to the magnet on the secondary gear assembly; said stator/coil assembly comprising a coil wound about a stator segment on the secondary gear assembly; wherein the motion imparted to the handle causes the secondary gear assembly with its stator/coil assembly to rotate about the periphery of the primary gear via the engagement with said secondary gear; said motion further causes said magnet to spin on said secondary gear within said secondary gear assembly in relation to said stator/coil assembly, thereby generating an electrical current in said stator/coil assembly; an electronic device electrically connected to the stator/coil assembly; wherein the electronic device is an LED; wherein the LED is connected to the secondary gear assembly; and wherein the LED rotates around the handle with the housing and the secondary gear assembly.
