Abstract:
A power system comprising:a housing with a chamber; a non-conducting member with a stored static electrical charge, the member is connected to the housing and extends at least partially across the chamber; and a pair of electrodes connected to the housing, the pair of electrodes are spaced from and on substantially opposing sides of the non-conducting member from each other and are at least partially in alignment with each other, wherein at least one of the member and one of the pair of electrodes is connected to the housing so that the wherein at least one of the non-conducting member and one of the pair of electrodes is movable with respect to the other in response to a vibrational input; wherein the member is held in a fixed, spaced apart relationship with respect to one of the pair of electrodes, the other one of the pair of electrodes is movable with respect to the member and the one of the pair of electrodes.
