Abstract:
“An extended duration burst electrical energy harvesting generator in one embodiment including two magnets situated on opposite ends of an angular movable lever with a centered fulcrum support in an angular displacement (see-saw) arrangement. The two magnets are under the bi-stable magnetic attractive influence of dual magnetic metal (high permeability) substrates that are disposed at a distance within two separate center core electric coil bobbin forms that are situated under the opposite ends of the lever. Either one of the magnets, in time, will make or break contact with one of the substrates producing an instantaneous induced voltage at each of the coil terminals. The two induced voltages can be utilized to power battery-less and wireless remote communications control function such as ISM Band wireless transmitters and battery-less electronic device applications.

Description:
FIELD OF THE INVENTION 
       [0001]    The present invention relates to electric generators and the generation of electricity from same, in particular, to energy harvesting electric generators having movable magnets therein. 
       BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
       [0002]    Since the inception of Galvani and later Faraday in 1821 and in 1831; the evolution of electric generators has progressed with the conventional knowledge of moving a coil through a stationary magnetic field or in some demonstrable instances, the motion of a magnet through a stationary coil. However the dominating influence of generators incorporating an internal moving coil about a stationary magnetic field remains the mainstay of global electrical power generation on any scale. Further, in cases of a magnet in motion about a stationary coil, the shape of the magnet(s) is typically of the bar, horseshoe, or other non-spherical magnet shape means; and not a magnetic shape of sphere as part and parcel to the magnet(s). 
         [0003]    A few short burst energy harvesters are offered commercially (e.g. ISM Enigma, LLC, New York and Enocean, GmbH, Germany) as energy harvesting generators with an output pulse time duration of 1 to 10 milliseconds or less and a non-sinusoidal transient voltage pulse. Transient voltage pulses differ from the short-duration impulsive noise in that they have a longer duration and a relatively higher proportion of low-frequency energy content, and usually occur less frequently than impulsive noise. The sources of these transient voltage pulses in the prior generators are varied electromagnetic devices that generate an output by “quick magnetic pole flipping in a complete closed magnetic circuitous path” with an initial pulse of relatively short and has a duration on the order of 1 to 10 milliseconds having limited use; however this can be utilized as a power source for short burst Industrial, Scientific and Medical (hereinafter ISM) Band radio transmitters. This complete closed magnetic circuit is defined as having the opposite poles of a magnet physically and magnetically connected together by a magnetic metal conduit e.g. magnetic steel or iron or other high permeability (relative to air) material so that the bulk of the magnetic field lines are coupled and concentrated within the magnetic metal conduit. In the prior generators, it is only when the magnet&#39;s poles are switched into a changed state in some manner, does the coupling briefly discontinue; at other times the wire and the magnet are in a high permeability magnetic closed conduit or circuit. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0004]    The present invention provides an extended duration electrical output in response to a bi-directional (or multi-directional) angular displacement centered fulcrum lever where there exists disposed, a plurality of magnets at opposite ends of the centered fulcrum lever; the lever can be a simply elongated beam component or a right angle cross beam component with a plurality of magnets disposed at opposite ends of the cross beam members wherein the path between the magnet(s) pole(s) includes at least one coil of wire, and low and relatively high permeability magnetic path sections. The bi-directional angular displacement centered fulcrum lever component or right angle cross beam component with magnets disposed at opposite ends remain in a state where due to magnetic attraction, a first magnet is in physical and magnetic contact with a magnetic steel center core that is disposed within the center of a coil bobbin comprised of a copper wire coil; and a second magnet, opposite the first, is displaced a finite distance away from a second magnetic steel center core that is disposed within the center of a coil bobbin comprised of a copper wire coil. 
         [0005]    When the second magnet that is a finite distance away from the second coil&#39;s centered magnetic steel core, and is in mechanical communication the bi-directional angular displacement centered fulcrum lever, is pushed by an external push force from a finger, human or otherwise applied to the bi-directional angular displacement centered fulcrum lever; an angular displacement state change takes place with the bi-directional angular displacement centered fulcrum lever; with the second magnet coming to be in mechanical and magnetic pole contact with the second coil&#39;s centered magnetic steel core. This state change collapses the displacement magnetic field traveling through the second coil and concentrates itself within the magnetic steel core centered in the coil winding and induces a voltage pulse that is felt at the coil&#39;s terminals. This action instantly causes the first magnet disposed on the opposite end of the center fulcrum lever to instantly move away from its contact position with the first magnetic steel centered core within the first coil winding; and this causes the first concentrated magnetic field in the core to instantly expand outward around the volume of the now displaced finite distance that results from this forced separation by the initial push on the second end of the lever that has disposed the second magnet. 
         [0006]    A summary of this alternating, “SEE-SAW” substantially instant action events are that whenever either side of this center fulcrum with opposite end attached magnets are pushed downward, one of the magnets will come in contact with its associated magnetic so steel core centered within its associated coil winding; and the opposite side of the center fulcrum with its associated magnet, will be finite distance displaced from its associated magnetic steel core centered within its associated coil winding. This action instantly establishes an induced voltage pulse in both coil windings of equal and opposite polarity; and if these two coil windings are electrically connected in series aiding the resultant voltage pulse waveform will be algebraically and vectorially additive and with a resultant extended pulse time period.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
       [0036]      FIG. 1 ,  FIG. 2 ,  FIG. 3 , &amp;  FIG. 4  shows various views of one embodiment of the invention as a SEE-SAW type of rocker generator wherein exists a coil bobbin base  101  that two individual coils  105   a  &amp;  105   b  are disposed and the two coils  105   a  &amp;  105   b  can be arranged to have their coil terminal connexions individually available for separate connecting to two separate electrical loads or they can be connected in an electrical series aiding arrangement to double the output voltage at their combined no terminal connexions. Each of the two coils  105   a  &amp;  105   b  has their individual hollow magnetic metal centered inner cores  109   a  &amp;  109   b  disposed within the center of their respective coils. A snap-in rocker component referenced as a left  103   a  section and a right  103   b  section that is moveable and has disposed two individual neodymium magnets, and where each magnet  111   a  &amp;  111   b  has a pole facing the coils and inner  185  hollow cores; e.g. the left section has its facing-pole as NORTH and the right section has its pole as SOUTH, or with the converse. Whether NORTH and SOUTH or SOUTH AND NORTH OR NORTH AND NORTH OR SOUTH AND SOUTH, the coils ouputs ca still be wired to make it a summed aiding voltage (batteries in series). As seen in  FIG. 3 , the underside of the coil base  101  has a open compartment or recess  107  within the base  101  to accommodate an ISM Band micro-transmitter circuit module for use as a generator to power same or other related electronic components. The rocker  103  includes a substantially orthogonal member  104  having a surfaces  102  (typically smooth, at least partially cylindrical) which are received into resilient clip members  106  which receive the surfaces  102  and retain the rocker  103  magnets  105   a  and  105   b  in  195  proximity to the coil  105   a  and  105   b  (or corresponding coils  109   a  and  109   b ) but space apart to allow a “rocker” movement wherein one magnet (e.g.  111   a ) engages core  109   a  or coil  105   a  while providing a separation of the oppositely disposed magnet  111   b  from a corresponding coil  109   b  or core  105   b , wherein the separation is significant to provide a ‘snap’ action from magnetic engagement of the magnet  105   b  with a  200  corresponding structure when a force is applied to the left section  103   b  sufficient to overcome the magnetic bonding of magnet  105   a  to its engaged structure (e.g. coil  105   a , core  109   a , etc.). 
         [0037]      FIG. 5  shows one static state position of the movable rocker element  103 , where its left section  103   a  is displaced from the coil  105   a  and the inner magnetic metal hollow  205  core  109   a  so that there is an ‘air gap’ and no mechanical and no concentrated magnetic contact between the magnet  111   a  and the magnetic metal inner core  109   a ; and where its right section  103   b  is displaced from the coil  105   b  and the inner magnetic metal hollow core  109   b  so that there is an ‘no-air gap’ and mechanical and concentrated magnetic contact between the magnet  111   b  and the magnetic metal  210  inner core  109   b . The magnetic filed pattern  131   o  surrounding the left coil  105   a  has a minimum flux density with the air gap as compared to the right side surrounding field pattern  133   c  that has a maximum flux density with no air gap and the right magnet  111   b  is in magnetic and physical contact with the right hollow inner magnetic metal core  109   b  centerd in the right coil  105   b . Another novel feature of the invention is a hollow magnetic metal core  109   a  &amp;  109   b  that is used so that the magnetic field concentrated within the walls of the core  109   a  &amp;  109   b  creates a more efficient flux distribution and when the magnetic field instantly expands due to rocker movement action a greater magnitude of voltage will be induced. The embodiment is not limited to a hollow core  109   a  &amp;  109   b ; and a solid core can be used in place of the hollow core if  220  so desired, but the hollow core  109   a  &amp;  109   b  sees a preferable maximum hollow core wall thickness O.D./I.D. (Outside Diameter/Inside Diameter) ratio of 1.5 to 1 as being the most efficient wall volume to concentrate the magnetic field contained within it without magnetic reluctance overtaking the efficiency and it also reduces the weight of the generator embodiment. Also from a theoretical point of view a hollow core would  225  force the concentration of magnetic flux (field Hines of force) to be closest to the coil bobbin thin wall, which means that the magnetic flux will be closest to the coil wires for maximum induced voltage production. 
         [0038]      FIG. 6  shows an alternate static state position of the movable rocker element  103 , where its right section  103   b  is displaced from the coil  105   b  and the inner magnetic metal hollow core  109   b  so that there is an ‘air gap’ between the magnet  111   b  and the magnetic metal inner core  109   b ; and where its left section  103   a  is displaced from the coil  105   a  and the inner magnetic metal hollow core  109   a  so that there is an ‘no-air gap’ between the magnet  111   a  and the magnetic metal inner core  109   a . The magnetic filed pattern  131   c  surrounding the left coil  105   a  has a maximum flux density with the no air gap as compared to the right side surrounding field pattern  133   o  that has a minimum flux density with an air gap and the right magnet  111   b  is displaced from the right hollow inner magnetic metal core  109   b  centerd in the right coil  105   b.    
         [0039]    Considering that in the exemplary embodiment of  FIGS. 5 &amp; 6 , the left magnet  111   a  has its NORTH POLE facing the magnetic metal center hollow core  109   a  and in  FIGS. 5 &amp; 6  the right magnet has its SOUTH POLE facing the magnetic metal center hollow core  109   b .  FIG. 7  is a oscilloscope trace graphic representation  156  of the left coil  105   a  (shown in  FIGS. 5 &amp; 6 ) output pulse generated from movement from the magnet  111   a  position in  FIG. 5  to the position shown in  FIG. 6  where the magnet  111   a  comes in contact with hollow magnetic metal center core  109   a  resulting in a pulse  153  produced by the right coil  105   a  during the time that magnet  111   b  separates from the center magnetic metal core  109   b  to produce an ‘air gap.’ 
         [0040]      FIG. 7  is an exemplary oscilloscope time base waveform graph  156  showing the left side (shown in  FIG. 5&amp;6 ) induced voltage pulse  151   a  generated by the instant push down on the left side  103   a  of the moveable rocker element  103  and simultaneously the instant upward movement of the right side  103   b  whose action generates a right side (shown in  FIG. 5&amp;6 ) induced voltage pulse  151   b  shown in  FIG. 8 &#39;s exemplary oscilloscope time base waveform graph  158 . 
         [0041]      FIG. 8  is an exemplary oscilloscope time base waveform graph  158  showing the  255  right side (shown in  FIG. 5&amp;6 ) induced voltage pulse  151   b  generated by the instant push down on the right side  103   b  of the moveable rocker element  103  and simultaneously the instant upward movement of the left side  103   a  whose action generates a left side (shown in  FIG. 5&amp;6 ) induced voltage pulse  151   a  shown in  FIG. 8 &#39;s exemplary oscilloscope time base waveform graph  158 . 
         [0042]    In  FIG. 9  the illustration shows a typical neodymium magnet  403  that is displaced by an air gap  405 -O from a coil  409  that has a hollow magnetic metal core  407 . The concentration of the magnetic field pattern is sparsely distributed throughout the coil windings  409 .  FIG. 10  shows the alternate condition wherein the neodymium magnet  403  is in direct connexion, magnetically and physically, with the magnetic metal inner core  407  that is disposed in the center of the coil  409  having an aperture  411  extending along an axis  413  along which the coil  409  is wound. The concentration of the magnetic field pattern is densely distributed throughout the coil windings  409 . Therefore in a dynamic state change when the condition of  FIG. 10  changes to  FIG. 9 , an induced voltage of one polarity relative to movement and magnetic pole direction, will be present at the coil&#39;s electrical termination points  135  (shown in  FIG. 11 ). Conversely in a dynamic state change when the condition of  FIG. 9  changes to FIG.  10 , an induced voltage of opposite polarity relative to the previous movement and magnetic pole direction as was in condition of  FIG. 9  changing to  FIG. 10  will be produced, and this opposite polarity will be present at the coil&#39;s electrical termination points  135  (shown in  FIGS. 12 &amp; 14 ).The tubular, and in this example cylindrical core  407  has a thickness  415  and an outer diameter to hole  411  ratio preferably 1.5 or greater. 
         [0043]      FIG. 11  Shows induced voltage outputs  119  and  121  of the dual (left  105   a  and right  105   b ) coil arrangement that is electrically connected in series to add; and with the positioning of the magnet&#39;s poles being opposite in polarity to each other on the left side  111   a  in  FIG. 12  and right side  111   b  and they are disposed within the left side  103   a  and right side  103   b  of the movable rocker lever arm  103  shown in  FIG. 1 . As in a typical arrangement in the present embodiment of the invention, the left side magnet  111   a  is with SOUTH POLE facing the magnetic metal hollow centerd core  109   a  and the right side magnet  111   b  is with NORTH POLE facing the magnetic metal hollow centered core  109   b . Also in  FIG. 11 , there is the graph relating to the time synced movement of Section (a), which extends from pivot member  104  to the left end of the rocker lever arm  103  of lever arm  103   a  from position UP to substantially instantly (˜1 ms) position DOWN and the two positive pulses  119  and  121  generated in coil  105   a  &amp; coil  105   b  during that position transition  137 , 5 milliseconds (+/−2 milliseconds typically) initiated by a push Force from a finger or a mechanical translator force component on Section (a) of the lever arm  103   a  that causes magnet  111   a  to move downward and magnetically and mechanically contact hollow magnetic metal center core  109   a . Before this transition, when Section (a) of the lever arm  103   a  is displaced by a finite distance, (e.g. 3 to 5 mm}, a typical magnetic field measurement in one embodiment of the invention is 550 Gauss when the Section (a) of the lever arm  103   a  is in the UP position as shown in  FIG. 12 ; and a typical measurement of 2,650 Gauss when Section (a) of the lever arm  103   a  is in the down position as shown in  FIG. 14 . Note: All magnetic field measurements taken with an Alpha Labs DC Gaussmeter Model GM-1-ST (accuracy traceble to NIST (National Institute of Science and Technology, Gaihersburg, Md.). 
         [0044]    Furthermore when Section (b) of the lever arm  103   b  as shown in  FIG. 14  is pushed downward, typical transition time of 5 milliseconds (+/−2 milliseconds), by an external force of a finger or some mechanical push force translator component, the induced voltage outputs  123  and  125  of the dual coil arrangement (typical duration of 10 to 15 msec) that can be electrically connected in series to add; and with the positioning of the magnet&#39;s coil-facing poles being opposite in polarity to each other on the right side  111   b  in  FIG. 14  and left side  111   a  and they are disposed within the right side  103   b  and left side  103   a  of the rocker lever arm  103  shown in  FIG. 1 .

Before the transition when Section (b) of the lever arm  103   b  is displaced by a finite distance such as about 3 mm measured from the closest point between coil  105   b  and magnet  111   b , a typical magnetic field measurement in one embodiment of the invention is 550 Gauss when the Section (b) of the lever arm  103   b  is in the UP position as shown in  FIG. 14 ; and a typical measurement of 2,650 Gauss when Section (b) of the lever arm  103   b  is in the  325  down position as shown in  FIG. 12 .

FIG. 22  is a top view showing the cross member lever arm  603  above the coil base  601  where an applied push force on the TOP portion  602   a  of the vertical member or the LEFT lateral member  602   b  of the cross lever member  603  or the BOTTOM of the vertical member  602   c  or the RIGHT member  602   d  of the cross arm  603  will cause the same or analogous action and result as illustrated in  FIGS. 12 &amp; 14  with their respective induced voltages in  FIGS. 11 &amp; 13  and the measured voltage waveforms as shown in  FIGS. 15, 16, 17 , &amp;  18 . 
         [0047]    As shown in the functional block diagram of  FIG. 24 , the exemplary voltage rectifier  705  and regulator  709  circuit utilized to offer a steady state DC filtered voltage output  721  to give instant power generated by the action of the magnet instantly passing through the coil as the magnetic circuit between the hollow metal core  701 a and the neodymium magnet  701 b. As the Neodymium magnet  701  is pushed downward it makes mechanical and magnetic low reluctance contact with the hollow magnetic metal core  723 , its magnetic field collapses into the hollow magnetic metal core that offers very high magnetic relative permeability (e.g. nickel plated iron 200,000) compared to that of air; with air having a magnetic relative permeability of  1 . Further embodiments having  3  or more than  4  lever arms movable on paired or different relative axes are also within the scope of the present invention. 
         [0048]    As shown in the block diagram  700  of  FIG. 24 , the exemplary quad position arrangement for both vertical and lateral SEE-SAW (rocking) movement of a two member lever having only arms  604   a ,  604   b , or a 4 member “cross” member lever further having arms  604   a ,  604   b ,  604   c  and  604   d  ( FIGS. 19-23  above) have corresponding electrical coils  607   a ,  607   b ,  608   c  and  607   d , each providing an electrical signal received both by a power converter (e.g. a full-wave rectifier) and power conditioning (e.g. regulating/filtering/etc. as illustrated in the circuit diagram of  FIG. 24 ) circuit  706 , which provides operating power to the transmitter circuitry  702  (typically including data encoding circuitry) also receiving a signal from each electrical coil  607   a ,  607   b ,  608   c  and  607   d , providing a unique signal corresponding to each of the energized coils,  607   a - 607   d . The transmitter  702  transmits the unique signals (e.g. by ISM specifications) to a remote receiver to control remote equipment. Fewer or greater number of coils may be accomodated. 
         [0049]    As shown in the block diagram of  FIG. 25 , the present invention&#39;s embodiment of a neodymium magnet  731  comes in contact with a magnetic metal core  735  and induces a voltage pulse illustrated in  FIG. 26  in the coil  733  that is connected to a bridge rectifier  737  that converts the pulse into a DC level voltage that is filtered by a capacitor  739  and this filtered DC voltage pulse is applied to a voltage regulator&#39;s  741  (e.g. Rohm BA00DDo series) input terminals between terminal point  2  and terminal point  3  (as a ground point). The voltage regulator  741  establishes a DC level of 3.3 volts DC (typical for an integrated ISM Band transmitter circuit module). The voltage level of 3.3 volts is determined by the values of output filter capacitor  743  and ratio of the output resistors  745  &amp;  747 , the voltage level input control terminal point  5  senses the voltage level at resistor  747  that determines where the output terminal point  4  of  390  the regulator  741  exists and this final DC output is connected to the a terminal point  749  that has a DC regulated output voltage waveform in  FIG. 28  that can be applied to power an ISM Band transmitter module  702  in  FIG. 24 .
