Abstract:
Computer processor controlled energy harvester system. The system uses a plurality of oscillating weight type energy collectors, each configured to store the energy from changes in the system's ambient motion as stored mechanical energy, often in a compressed spring. The energy collectors are configured to move between a first position where the energy collector stores energy, to a second position where the energy collectors release stored energy to a geared electrical generator shaft, thus producing electrical energy, often stored in a battery. A plurality of processor controlled electronic actuators, usually one per energy collector, control when each energy collector stores and releases energy. The processor can use accelerometer sensors, battery charge sensors, and suitable software and firmware to optimize system function. The system can use the energy for various useful purposes, including sensor monitoring, data acquisition, wireless communications, and the like, and can also receive supplemental power from other sources.

Claim (Index 1):
An energy harvester system comprising:\n a computer processor; at least one electrical generator comprising at least one moveable generator gear; at least one support base; at least one energy collector movably connected to said support base, each at least one energy collector configured to, in a first position, store ambient motion energy along at least one direction of ambient motion as stored mechanical energy, and in a second position to release said stored mechanical energy to at least one moveable generator gear; at least one electronic actuator and associated actuator cam attached to said support base, said at least one electronic actuator configured to provide actuator force response to control signals from said computer processor, thus moving said actuator cam and providing cam force; wherein said at least one energy collector is configured so that upon receiving said cam force, said at least one energy collector moves from said first position to a second position that is coupled to said at least one moveable generator gear, thus releasing stored mechanical energy to said at least one moveable generator gear, and rotating said at least one moveable generator gear; wherein said at least one electrical generator is configured to convert rotation of said at least one moveable generator gear into electrical energy.
