Patent ID: 8766465

Claim:
A system for providing power from a variable energy supply, comprising: at least one beam mounted for deflection; at least one rotor mounted on said at least one beam to apply a variable force thereto when rotated; at least one rotor magnet mounted on said at least one rotor; at least one electromagnetic pulse motor controlled to act upon said at least one rotor magnet mounted on said at least one rotor to apply an intermittent torque thereto; at least one energy supply producing a variable output of electrical power; at least one electrical energy storage device for storing energy from the at least one energy supply; at least one controller for timing the supply of electrical power to the at least one electromagnetic pulse motor to apply said intermittent torque in a controlled manner coordinated with the rotation of the at least one rotor to cause oscillatory deflections of the at least one beam; at least one secondary controller for controlling induced electromagnetic power due to operation of the at least one rotor or due to the operation of at least one electromagnet associated with the secondary controller; at least one secondary energy storage device for storing the induced electromagnetic power; at least one mechanical output connected to the at least one beam for providing a mechanical displacement therefrom when said beam is deflecting in an oscillatory manner.
